Chapter 56 1idf2d

Agares’s stiff body was quite obvious, and I think it was because he didn’t expect me to kiss him on my own accord. 

In reality, I, myself, didn’t even know why I did it. I wasn’t mentally prepared at all, but it was like another person suddenly possessed my body. No, not just my body, but also my mind. It was truly a subconscious action. I knew there was a surveillance camera recording, but I was still unable to prevent that damned throbbing in my heart. I truly felt extremely distressed, and it was definitely not because I sympathized with this powerful creature that had fallen into such a degenerated situation, nor was it because of any kind of virtue and morals a biologist would have… Rather it was another kind of intense emotion.

I felt bewilderness, hesitation, and conflict when kissing him, but he didn’t reciprocate, maybe because he didn’t have any strength left, or perhaps because I had run away and provoked his anger, or he probably thought that Sakarol and I were a team. Of course, he had every reason to think this. Perhaps, he now believed that I was also a cruel and selfish human being, betraying him for the sake of my own interests and benefit.

Thinking this, my heart felt heavy and uncomfortable, and I withdrew my lips from his out of hesitation and indecisiveness. However, he suddenly lowered his head and crushed his lips onto mine, his fangs piercing my lower lip lightly making me groan in pain, yet, he still persisted, biting down harder, and then continued with his velvet tongue, licking and sucking on where it was bleeding. n6dLZP

I felt his body shudder along with mine, the power of the kiss was overbearing but firm like it wanted to kill my previous thoughts, biting them apart and firmly swallowing them. Or it was like holding onto a dying madness, wanting to confirm my feelings and regards. 

My lips swelled up quickly, the pain left me shrinking my head back a few centimeters away. My hands rested on the side of his prominent cheek as I muttered a little incoherently, “Don’t misunderstand me… Agares. If possible, I would really like to save you right now… I’m sorry… Damn it! It’s all because of me, it’s entirely my fault that you ended up suffering like this…” 

My gaze swept over to the burnt scars on his body, the more I talked, the more constricted my heart became. I couldn’t help but lower my head, resting my forehead against his chest, and take in a deep breath. 

Suddenly, I realised there was one thing I should and could only do—to treat his wounds. Hence, I gently and cautiously stretched out my tongue and started licking the scorched black scars on Agares’s chest. The contours of his muscles suddenly tensed up like a bowstring being pulled, and tiny greenish-blue veins could be clearly seen bulging out under his undamaged skin. It was obvious that Agares felt immense pain.

But like a genuine doctor, I used my hand to press against his strong, wide shoulder blade, and like I was trying to comfort a big injured dolphin, I gently caressed his nape, shifting my head downwards to slowly lick at the wound.

Making him bleed would be the fastest way to heal him, but I couldn’t use this method. I couldn’t risk letting the Nazis have a chance to get hold of Agares’s DNA, who knows what kind of frightening research they would conduct if they obtained it!     

I paused for a second before I bit my lip hard where Agares had previously bitten me, but my strength was too intense, and my lips started hurting like it was being shattered into pieces, and they probably resemble swollen sausages now!  drFtdu

Agares’s whole body began to tremble the second my blood started trickling down onto his chest. His arms pulled against the chain, his hard jaw rested on the back of my head and in a shallow voice, he breathed out, “Do not hurt… yourself, Desharow.”  

“Damn it, stop moving around!” I held his arm, not even lifting my head up as I berated him. I didn’t need him to fuss over me about such minor injury in this situation, however, I knew that with my mouth dripping with blood, it could be a little scary to look at. I mixed my blood and saliva together and used my tongue to carefully lick every inch of his wound, from top to bottom, trying not to miss any corners. I heard the vigorous beating of his heart, sounding strong and hurried, clear against my ear. Soon, at a fast rate, the scorched skin under my tongue formed a layer of white membrane, effectively showing the fruits of my success in exchange for my pain.   

I felt extremely happy, and then continued to inspect the other minor wounds on his body. Even though they weren’t as big as the one on his chest, the wounds were also unable to heal. That was why even when they were located really low, near where the merman’s hip bone and fish scales merged, I still bent down and treated it with no hesitation. While doing this, I had even forgotten that there was someone watching this ambiguous spectacle, but it was because I had completely immersed myself to being a dedicated doctor, or perhaps, a small part of it was in being a competent…spouse.      

However, I immediately erased this strange thought. Damn it, whatever notion it was, it didn’t matter at a time like this! These sorts of thoughts were insignificant in our current predicament, both Agares and I were thrown into prison to be kept as hostages, me helping him was a given!   cjnIHE

I lowered my head and continued to do my best, but in my mind, I couldn’t stop thinking back to that impulsive kiss so I wasn’t paying attention to how low I was getting by the minute before suddenly, a swelling, glossy cylinder peaked out from beneath the cold water, and pressed onto my lips. At that moment, I didn’t know if my brain short-circuited or something but I mindlessly gave it a lick, before my scalp exploded in realization. 

Damn it, damn it, damn it!

I wiped my lip and shot up immediately, my hands holding onto Agares before I managed to properly steady myself after slipping a few times. My face was close to his, my gaze accidentally meeting his weak, pitch-black eyes. A dark colour emerged on his face, clearly due to the blood rushing to his head. 

If you could call it excitement, Agares has indeed become a little excited due to my actions. Even though it looked like keeping his eyes open already took most of his strength, Agares’s thin, strained lips still seemed to arch up into a playful teasing smirk—because I used my tongue to serve his grand place. The damned me could still taste the remaining essence that had a hint of fish.        bjxo7S

I glared at him and used the back of my hand to wipe my mouth, but I couldn’t even let out a single curse word.

Every single time I encountered Agares, my IQ level just seemed to drop down to the negatives, always giving him the opportunity to make fun of me. However, in his current state of being chained, trapped in a water prison, in a half-dead state, with scars all over his body, I’m afraid any strong human being would become impotent, yet he still could become hard! This demonic creature really deserved the title of the Merfolk Chief, being an old sex demon beyond means of redemption.

But at least such a reaction proved that his physical condition wasn’t as bad as I originally feared. 

My ears were impressively hot and my face was boiling, however, I acted like the previous situation didn’t happen and scooped up some water to wash off the blood in my mouth. But, my gaze was unable to overlook that thing standing straight up like some sort of aquatic plant, making me awkwardly choke on my saliva.  t684iZ

“Desharow…”

Agares’s voice weak and hoarse. His eyes dropped down to look at me, his pupils were fixated on me, like he was begging me to help him resolve his problem. 

“No, we can’t do that, your body won’t be able to take it anymore.” I swallowed drily, face aflame. Damn it, with Agares looking like this, it also made the dormant mutant cell within me to start stirring restlessly. I couldn’t help feeling flustered and hurriedly washed my face with a few splashes of water, willing myself to calm down with a few deep breaths. 

Maybe I should take some responsibility for unintentionally stirring up trouble and help Agares, who was incapable of moving an inch, but I definitely mustn’t do it. Otherwise, if I helped him get some release, it would consume a lot of his remaining energy and he would become unconscious and may not wake up. Let’s not forget Sakarol, who was still monitoring me, to see if I would follow her orders. Now, I just remembered her threat, if I’m unable to complete this task by today, she will definitely do something to Lafarre and the others, but also, I couldn’t make myself extract Agares’s blood.  EyWlAd

I looked around with vigilance before shifting my body closer to Agares and tried to use this opportunity to obstruct my movements—I dug out the syringe from my pocket, grabbed Agares’s arm as I pretended to use it to penetrate into his skin, while lifting my own wrist and, under the cover of my other hand, I made the needle form an angle on Agares’s skin, letting it pierce accurately through my own skin into my vein.  

“Desharow!” Agares was plastered against my ear, roughly gasping for air. He bit my earlobe, as though reprimanding and rebuking my actions. I paid him no heed and quickly drew out my blood until the syringe was fully filled up. I found out that my blood seemed to look purple, like a blend of red and blue. This was, without a doubt, the most obvious sign of mutation. Saying if my mutation wasn’t stopped, the final form of my blood would definitely be the same blue as Agares. 

Even though the colour of my and Agares’s blood were quite distinguishable, Sakarol had never examined his body properly. Besides, I found out quite long ago that once Agares’s blood separated from his body and was exposed to even a little bit of air, it’ll rapidly solidify into something as hard as a fossil. So unless you directly extract it from his body, you would be incapable of running any tests. Because of these reasons, Sakarol was unable to know for certain if the blue liquid was actually Agares’s blood. That’s why they ordered me to come in and extract his blood, and for that reason, I could totally use my own strange blood to bluff them.

If I were to define it from a biology genre standpoint, I’m definitely not human but neither am I a merman, instead I was a mutated species that was in between both sides. It’s important to know that it isn’t always easy to study DNA strands that change shape and quantity every day, thus they need a lot of intensive recording and follow-up research, which would be enough to torment them. 4LNOaD

I couldn’t help but sneer. I placed the syringe into the sterile bag and lifted it up, swaying it about in the dark, showing them that I had done what they wanted before saying in a soft whisper: “I will protect myself, Agares. Tell me, is there a stronger existence on this island that can help you get out of here?”

When I asked this, a light sparked in my head, and I suddenly recalled the red-eyed, lizard-like monster. I raised my eyes to look at Agares and was about to ask, however he seemed to have already suspected this and narrowed his eyes, not long before spitting out these weird syllables: “Na—ka—mi—Ya. You… return to there…” 

“I understand…” I had to think of a way to have Sakarol and the others lower their guard and obtain some level of freedom, so that I could return to where I last saw that monster and let it know the plight of Agares and the other merfolk. Although I wasn’t sure if it would be able to withstand live ammunition, it is undoubtedly the most powerful comrade-in-arms. 

As I was thinking about it deeply, a sharp voice erupted through the cabin, destroying my train of thoughts: “Desharow, since you have extracted the blood, come out quickly, or are you still thinking of spending more time accompanying your lover in there?”  BWd wQ

How spiteful, that fucking bitch. I clenched my fist and gently caressed Agares’s chest. I thought of checking his wounds again to make sure none were missed but then I felt his head droop down. His forehead was plastered against the top of my head and his eyes were looking at me profoundly, his gaze seemed to have morphed into night that was slowly ascending, encasing my entire heart to the point that even my breathing and pulse had been engulfed. I couldn’t help closing my eyes, and sink into this kiss where our breaths are intertwined with one another.

After a good while, I was suddenly woken up by the sound of an electrical current. Knowing that if I didn’t leave immediately, they would come in and so I hastily left the cabin.
