The merman, my man novel Chapter 86

The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 86

The pelican eel knew the danger of exposing its abdomen, so it immediately submerged back into the sea. A pool of blood then spread all over the ocean from its abdomen, and the water turned turbid instantly.

The waves were roaring, and the water was cloudy. I couldn’t see where Dicken was, so I didn’t dare to shoot anymore. I was afraid my poor shooting skills would accidentally injure him.

I could only look at the sea nervously and observe what would happen next.

 

As I gazed down at sea, a dark shadow swept in from the cabin window. It was the tentacle! I was frightened and immediately raised my gun to attack it. It then opened up its mouth full of sharp teeth and bit my weapon!

The speed was abnormally fast that I forgot to release the gun from my hand. So, my whole body was dragged away violently by the tentacle.

I was then thrown into the sea before I could even scream.

The icy cold water drowned me rapidly, and the salty sea water entered my mouth and nose. I choked several times, struggling to keep my head above the sea.

 

A colossal wave crashed against me again, and the tide raised me in the air. As the wave faded, I had already been dragged a thousand inches away from the hull.

The dashing waves made me dizzy, and I had lost all sense of direction. I was utterly lost. The seawater blurred my eyes. So, I couldn’t see the enormous pelican eel, and I didn’t know where Dicken was.

 

I was doomed…

I wiped the water off my face and looked around for the direction of the ship. Then, suddenly, I felt a force coming from behind, and I knew what it was even without looking back!

 

It must be the tentacle that just hit me brutally and dragged me into the sea!

I was terrified and screamed. Instinctively, I wanted to swim as quickly as possible, but a wave came, and I was forced a little further ahead. I was surprised to find that my swimming had improved.

I began swimming smoothly like a professional swimmer. My legs could join together like a mermaid, and they swayed like a fishtail. Which significantly improved my swimming speed. I almost felt that I had surpassed the world champion in freestyle swimming.

Oh my God, what’s going on? I was extremely shocked.

But I didn’t have time to think further because the tentacle was still threatening me. Surviving should be my priority. I swung my body quickly to swim towards the hull. Just as I approached the mast, I tried to imitate Dicken. I tried to stretch out my legs and jumped out of the sea to grab the mast.

But, just as soon as I was about to touch the mast, my back was attacked by something. What followed was a severe pain that went deep into my bones. I couldn’t bear the pain and howled. My hand was now further away from the mast.

I was dragged into the sea by that thing, and I was submerged in icy cold water. Just when my head was about to be flooded, I yelled out of instinct, ”Dicken ! Dicken ! ”

All I could think of at this moment was Dicken. He was the only one who could save me…

Then, my voice faded as the seawater filled my mouth. My body was dragged deeper into the ocean, and suffocation had taken over me. The water pressure made me feel like my heart could stop beating at any time.

Suddenly, a tall black figure flashed from my right. Then, his long fishtail turned flexibly. It seemed like he noticed me as he quickly approached me.
