Chapter 54

Chrysanthemum Garden.

 While in a daze, I felt Agares kissing me. His kiss was brimming with possessiveness, but it was also very gentle and soft. His lips and teeth sucked upon my own lips, as if he were sucking on a flavorful candy that was rather difficult to obtain for himself. The pleasurable climax that I once had, had soon faded, completely evacuating from my consciousness. Only an unknown feeling, like that of the aftermath of being submerged in wine, remained. My chest felt both soft and wet, having the same fuzzy, warm feeling like that of a fluffy, round cotton ball.

  I half-opened my moist, misty eyes and couldn’t refrain myself from returning his kiss. Our breaths intertwined, like we were brushing against the bridges of our noses. I couldn’t even stop myself from using my tongue to feel around his fangs, all the while, he nipped at my tongue, grinding against it carefully in a teasing way. Then, he trailed down my chin to bite at my Adam’s apple, albeit not lightly nor harshly, as though he still hasn’t had enough yet.   xECdz9

 I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and closed my eyes, letting out a sigh of discontent. My legs unconditionally grappled tightly around Agares’s tail and began rubbing against him. My waist, which was plastered against his chest, began to twist restlessly. The flame inside of my body once again became ignited. 

  Soon after a little bit of teasing, we sparked another unavoidable war and did the act again several more times. I didn’t even know how long we tossed around for until, finally, I ended up losing consciousness from exhaustion.

  Before I began to slowly wake back up, it seemed like time had slowed down, almost as if a few centuries had passed. 

 My brain was still in a messy, turbid state and had I instinctively cupped a handful of seawater to pour over my head. The coolness of the water invaded deeply, into my bone marrow, and my boiling and chaotic mind soon slowly cooled down.

     When I opened my eyes, I was surprised by what I saw: the original dim, narrow space had become much brighter. It was like everywhere my eyes had landed was illuminated by fluorescent lamps, so that even the cracks and flaws on rocks were seen very clearly. 

  But there was no light source here at all. 

  The scene was very strange. It was as if…I was looking through a night-vision camera lens in order to see the outside world.

  Just what was going on? 0DaF5Y

  I touched my eyes, but there was nothing covering them. Yet I immediately took note of a faint, dim light showing off my skin, as though emitted from my eyes. What the hell. Are my eyeballs glowing?  I can’t help but think back to Agares’s peering eyes in the darkness, and I shivered. Is this another sign of mutation—so, I have the ability to see in the dark?

  I kept staring at Agares, unable to move my gaze away for even a little bit. I didn’t want to admit it, but his sleeping appearance really exuded a deadly attraction, and I couldn’t help but reach out—just so that I could touch those marks of his.

  My fingers ran along his collarbone, his chest and even down towards his lower abdomen. An indescribable impulse spread throughout me, like a ripple caused by the contact of the fingertip against water. Suddenly, I lowered my head to get closer to his face. In the next moment, just when I wasn’t sure of what, exactly, I wanted to do, I clearly saw my reflection on the dark water: my eyes flushed red along with my swollen lips. It didn’t end there, my hair was wet and pasted stickly upon my pale face. My neck, chest and abdomen were all decked over with reddish-purple traces leftover by our vivid lovemaking. There was also a large bite mark on one side of my nipple that was striking to the eyes. The teeth mark itself was rather deep and profound, resembling a brand of ownership. AGFqsW

  My still disorderly mind instantly exploded. Like a soul that was freely roaming heaven until finally being sucked back into its empty shell, I instantly recalled how unrestrained I was  while catering to Agares’s whims to make him happy. I even remembered my own appearance as I was actively seducing him. In an instinct, my self-esteem collapsed, leaving my entire body shaking in shock. I subconsciously turned my back, put my head on the rock wall, and knocked hard against it several times. The force that was exerted was so strong that I nearly knocked myself unconscious. Man, I just wanted to faint and wake up to find that everything was just a nightmare!

  Damn it, I actually…became looking like this! How can I still be fucking deemed as a normal, straight male now!? 

  My body was now uncontrolled by any reason whatsoever! What was the difference between my body and a walking corpse that was solely driven by instinctive desire?!

  Now… my chances of becoming a merman had actually increased! This was terrible! I can’t discern  for how long this terrible estrus will last, nor how many times it will need to be repeated… xlMdBy

  I angrily slammed several punches against the rock in front of me, as if it were Agares’s face. However, beating the rock did nothing helpful other than making my fist hurt—the sound of low breathing from behind was still steady and gentle. The creator of all this turmoil was still fast asleep, without so much as a sign of even waking up. 

  But in truth, I didn’t even have the courage to trample upon the coiled-up fish tail beneath my body. I could only close my eyes, weeping without actually shedding any tears, as I pressed my forehead up against the rough rock wall, willing myself to calm down.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

  The narrow cave was unbelievably quiet. There was a strong, sweet fragrance mixed with my own original aroma  pervading the atmosphere. As I smelt it, my normal, steady breathing was unable to be maintained. The intense scene of our copulation a couple moments ago was still vividly right in front of me, never fully leaving my consciousness, always lingering. The irritability and impatient feeling from before was instantly coming back. Damn it, I was going to get hard again. 

  Fuck! Pressed up against the rock wall, I took a few deep breaths to suppress the dangerous impulse occurring within my body, and then I glanced back towards Agares. Seeing that he still hasn’t woken up yet, I slipped out of the underwater cave without hesitation. Carefully, I surveyed my surroundings and found the once-mermen-infested water, at this time, to be calm and serene. The water surface was like a mirror as it reflected the moonlight from above Now, with my new ability to see in the dark, my line of sight was as bright as day. After thoroughly confirming that there was no hidden danger in the water, I felt my way up the cliff that I had fallen down from.  MQieDP

  I didn’t know whether it was because of the variation from my body, but I suddenly found out that my hands and feet were more powerful than before, and that my fingers could firmly attach against the wet rock wall without slipping at all. My body was like a gecko, easily climbing upon the rock wall.  In almost no time, I nearly climbed to the top of this extremely steep, deep hollow cave. 

  All of this was, perhaps, due to the merfolk’s bodies’ ability to secrete some kind of frictional mucus that made it easier for them to move on land and prevent their skin from drying out. In any case, this unexpected discovery gave me a great deal of energy and a bigger sense of hope of getting back to normal.

  But then, just when I was a few meters away from the top, loud blowing winds were heard in the distance.

  I thought that it was an incoming hurricane near the sea, so I hastened my climbing upwards. When I could firmly stabilize myself to standstill, I looked at the source of the wind and realized that I was completely wrong.   nq7NEb

  —It wasn’t a hurricane, it was actually… several helicopters coming down for a landing! 

  I stood there, stupefied. In a flash, several helicopters landed in front of me. The high slicing winds produced by their propellers whipped up the corners of my clothes, as well as the dust and leaves so that they stirred around me. I had to raise my arm to protect my eyes, which were tearing up from being constantly blown on. Next thing I knew, there were dozens of armed men in black jumping down from above. Instinctively, I moved away, staggering back a few steps, suddenly realizing that these were all Sakarol’s men! 

  However, at this time, there was no room for escape left. With dozens of black muzzles aiming directly at me, I was forced to make a standard surrendering gesture, immediately showing that I had no intention of resisting, and slowly squatted down. From behind me, without a warning, an extended hand pushed me face down onto the dirt ground, roughly pushing both of my hands behind my back before tying them together with something. When I touched my back, I realized I was still naked, like a pig ready to be slaughtered. 

However, I didn’t even have the time to feel ashamed, because the current situation was so sudden. It was to the point that my brain felt completely dazed! I couldn’t see anything due to the bright helicopter lights. There was a huge buzzing sound in my ears, and I knew that the shaking figures around me were all shouting. My mind was blank for dozens of seconds, but, suddenly,  I saw those same people rushing towards the top entrance of the hollow cave, aiming their guns down into it. That was when I woke up in a flash! RwK7fk

  Wait, Agares!

  For a moment, a huge sense of anxiousness filled my chest, making me feel a sharp throbbing. I struggled to turn over with brute strength, which I didn’t know where it was from, and I punched the guy that was suppressing me from behind. Then, I rushed over to those armed men and yelled, “Hey, what are you going to do. Don’t do this. Hey!”

  ”Desharow!” Rhine’s voice roared behind my ear. A strong arm abruptly came from one side, latching immediately around me, and dragged me backward.

  “Damn it Rhine, you fucker, let go of me!” BTDqMv

 I roared out, watching helplessly through my struggles, as the armed men pulled up a piece of metallic netting. It flashed with dangerous electric sparks and was  thrown down into the cave.

  In the next second, I heard Agares’s anguished roar from below, accompanied by a hissing smoke of electricity from beneath the water. The sound seemed to penetrate my eardrums, all the way to the bottom of my heart, stabbing me ‘till I was shaking all over. My whole heart felt like it was firmly clutched by a sharp claw, leaving me unable to breathe. I couldn’t understand why my heart was aching like this so much, but I also couldn’t have any leisure time to think about it. There was only one thought circulating in my mind, I can’t accept that Agares could die just like that.  

  I stared at the mouth of the cave, like a dying wolf, struggling with red eyes. For a second, Rhine couldn’t hold me still, so I managed to scuttle a few steps forward once I got the advantage. All at once, I knocked down one of the armed men, heavily sat on top of him, then I snatched away his gun. I took aim at one of the guys who was holding the iron net, and yelled till I was hoarse. “You bastards, you guys better pull up that net, or else I’ll shoot!”

 The moment my voice sounded out, I felt a severe burning coming from my thigh, and the huge driving force of it caused my knees to sink to the ground. In the next split second, I felt a heart-splitting, gut-wrenching pain, and I immediately knew that someone had opened fire on me. But instead of looking at who was aiming at me, I still didn’t hesitate to pull the trigger at the guy holding the iron net in front of me.  7CNyWk

      From the moment that the bullet shot out of the muzzle, the recoil jerked me to the ground. Next, a pair of arms came from behind to forcefully surrender my arms. That person also used his knee to press down against my back. His entire body weight was used to press me down onto the ground so that I couldn’t move. Even my outcries and shouts were stuck in my chest. Only off-and-on groans could be heard.

  The roar from below was even more deafening, leaving me shaking all over just from hearing it. Yet I could only lie on the muddy ground. I  tried my best to lift up my head, but only to watch helplessly as the wired netting was pulled by the hook of the helicopter and lifted from down below.

  The metal rubbing against the rock wall created an ear-piercing sound, like the impact of metal and stone hitting against each other then shattering into smaller pieces. Wrapped in the heart of the netting was a furious, wild shadow, his claws slashing crazily against the indestructible metal net with his deadly, powerful fishtail tightly repressed inside, with only half of its tail-end sticking  out. From the mottled shadow and light of the mesh, I caught sight of half of Agares’s face that was filled with evil dispositions. At this time, that pair of long, narrow and gloomy eyes was filled with a scolding as if they were dripping with blood, yet they were filled with desire while staring directly at me.

  Damn it, where are these Nazi’s taking him to! AuKTf

  I gritted my teeth, wanting to call out to Agares, but only a few broken syllables were squeezed out of my throat. I tightly curled up my fist and tried to struggle to get up to do something. However, the weight on my back was currently crushing my spine. I wanted to look into Agares’s eyes, but my vision suddenly blurred. I could only watch as the net tightened up even more and was carried away by a helicopter in another direction, before finally disappearing out of my sight.

  The hot liquid seemed to drip quietly from my cheeks, but when I blinked, I found that there were no tears to be found. However, the pain in my pounding chest was so deep and real that I was gasping, out of breath and paralyzed to the muddy ground, like a dying fish.

Hello! translator here! I hope you guys enjoy this chapter and also hope that the suspense is getting to you guys! FQ0ePH

Also I got something that is gonna mind-blown all of you!

So do you guys think water is alive?

No?

Welp alright, think of this theory then: If water is alive, and humans are 70 percent water, doesn’t drinking water count as cannibalism!!!??? N5bTRi

BOOM! Mind Blowing— haha just kidding, Please don’t take this seriously. I merely came across this joke when I was reading a fanfiction about a sport anime I was watching and thought it would be fun to share.

 

Editor Pigeon have something to say: When Desharow took the gun and shot that dude…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjjZacZSWT4 …. Yepppp, That’s our badass Desharow!

    • Wow the tension of this chapter is really gettin me dying. What will happen to them?! Those military ppl are always bad news.

      Thank you for the translation

  1. This is such a great cliffhanger! I can’t wait to see what happens next! This is the worst time for them to be captured to, especially desharow since he’s currently changing. But serious cool points for him fighting of all those guys for Argares that was so sweet.

    Thanks for the chapter!

  2. XD the TL’s note was so random it was funny [thank you for the chapter!] pigeon made me go down the rabbit hole of memes…

  3. Oh god is desharow’s dream gonna come true ..where he is a captured mermaid and agares in a human form , god I hope it doesn’t .

    And the TL’s note I already started thinking that the water in that cave came alive and in the end its just a funny joke

    😂 , then if water is alive does it die if we drink it ,hah!! what if it doesn’t it may take revenge in our stomachs…well don’t take m serious just wondering..

    Also thanks for the chapter.

    • I wonder if- due to the transformation- would desharrow be capable of making minis? The reasoning I ask is because in the natural world there are several species of fish capable of biologically changing their sexes to take on the role of male or female if the need arises and requirements are met. It would be interesting if the same was true for merfolk where only the largest/oldest/more dominant merfolk became males while the rest are born/develop into females until the requirements for the metamophosis are met. Desharrow, despite being a male human, undergoing the transformation will end up developing into a female-esque/intersex/Ger merfolk if this may be the case.

      TL, what do you think?

      • It’s a bit complicated, but you could definitely say that it’s the male in charge of “birthing” new merfolks. however it’s not in the way you would think. As for Desharow, he’s special case and I don’t want to spoil it too much under the comment section.

        On Chapter 11, the author, Mr. Deep Sea had taken to account in revealing some of the major plot settings for readers due to many inquiries, so you could check it out if you want spoilers. There’s also a spoiler thread you could look at as well! https://chrysanthemumgarden.com/novel-tl/dm/dm-11/

        • Ok, i can see that. Though I honestly hoped that eventually, once the two of them became a couple, there would be some minis to make the story a bit fluffy.

          • Sadly, the author did not write any extras. and also when Desharow realize his love for Agares, welp… the author isn’t giving them a happy ending just yet.

  4. Desharow can be so unlikeable at times, it’s truly astonishing. There are points in the story where I am convinced that they’re truly making progress in their relationship, or at least coming to terms with how the dynamics are between them, and somehow Desharow manages to take three steps backwards for each that he takes forward.

    • Aish, I feel you as well. I just wish Desharow could put more trust in Agares at times and follow the strong connection that was felt between them, but at times I also could understand Desharow’s fear. But Desharow will come to understand soon, so don’t worry! Thank you for reading!

    • i feel you. they, no.. Desharow just make me disappointed again and again. just get a hold myself this entire way coz i care for the ML.

  5. I don’t understand are they making any progress or is it just an instinct just because agares mated with him. Sometimes I really hate Desharow

    • Don’t worry, don’t worry, there’s definetly progress. However, just that right now, Desharow still doesn’t know what’s really going on between them and why have Agares have such affect on him and that is what is probably what is pushing Desharow away.

  6. Oh lord, Desharow 🤦‍♂️ cannot wait until he stops running! He Always ends up in the front pan so far after running lol.

  7. I didn’t expect Agares to be caught again so easily. I wonder if he planned to have all of these people show up when he lured the humans here. Technology has grown a lot in the past 100 years.

  8. this is why i always calll MC stupid this entire way i read it. just stupid. too stupid. his IQ and EQ both are just too stupid. i cant help to call him stupid this entire time. stupid MC. Stupid MC. i want to knock his brain so his title as smart is back and get back his role as smart

  9. Welp I’m getting tired of Desharow denial and runaway. Aren’t he was in military and a genius? Why his actions scream otherwise 🤡

  10. My god. I’m so frustrated. When I think they’re making progress the MC just turns the numbers back to ZERO. I’m so close to rage dropping this story but for Agares and the translator’s amazing efforts I will see through the end of this story even if I’m boiling mad. I’ve never been this mad because of an MC before!

  11. Ele ainda está desnudo?? Se sim eu imaginei ele com uma cueca para preserva a minha saúde mental

    Is he still naked?? If so I imagined him with underwear to preserve my mental health
