Chapter 69

 There wasn’t a single soul in the abandoned Aquatic Research Institute, though I shouldn’t be worried about this in the first place. Because when Agares carried me into the big reservoir inside the institute, my body suddenly had an abnormal reaction—the mutation that had suddenly halted during the duration of those two years, acted up again, catching me off guard more than ever.

I helplessly watched on as many glistering silver scales gradually formed on my legs. There was an excess amount of muscle tissues growing without restraint between my inner thighs, mending both of my legs together, and furthermore on my insteps, numerous slender and translucent filaments extended out, twisting tightly around my feets like machine woven threads before it unfolded quickly into a sharp circular tail-fin.   

  My body was mutating quickly and violently, like there were legions of cells acting like raging devils, waging war and explosions beneath my skin. This made my blood boil in my veins as they rushed abouts, and a strong force bubbled out within me, making me feel like I would be torn into pieces at any given moment. There was no time or warning given of the shock or pain, I could only shut my eyes and bear through everything that was occurring as my body convulsed violently. hQUtNp

  During this torturous period, Agares kept holding me until my mutation completed. I rested in his firm and wide embrace while my head was still muddled. However unexpectedly after the mutation, my estrus came back like a ghost haunting me, making me instinctively coil my newly formed, weak fishtail, to twist and to grind, so much so that I appear to be teasing at Agares’s tail that was much larger and rougher than mine, like a newborn hungrily and clumsily in wants of their mother’s milk.  

  I couldn’t describe this wonderful feeling—

  When I felt about my new tail, I definitely could feel that the structure from my thighs and up was no different from my human form(Except for the layers of scaly membranes that covered my ass, in which the invisible thin crevices appearing from my tailbone could be noticed). Even the functionality of these structures shouldn’t have any significant difference from my original form.  However, it did feel like all senses were covered under the scales, and just by rubbing against Agares’s fishtail already made me feel so comfortable that I felt I was in heaven.

 This made me think of the scene where I impetuously touched Agares’s tail gently back on the ship. I now knew why he was behaving in that manner. It was because on one end, caressing his tail so impetuously was akin to touching his sensitive area, and on the other end, it also involuntarily gave off the impression of me wooing him like: Hey, come on. I belong to you, come and own me quickly!

  Fishtails aren’t something one can touch casually, so that’s why Agares must have thought that I was seducing him, curses… 

  I reflected as I dazedly touched the scales on my lower half, but then the figure of Yukimura flashed before my eyes and my heart started sinking. Can I still turn back to human? Or am I going to remain as a merman for the rest of my existence? I shook my head, and was then embraced tightly by Agares as he dotingly kissed my newly formed winged ear. This flickering thought quickly died off in my head, sinking into the dark abyss, engulfed up by the tantalizing scent crammed up in my nose. 

“Do you still feel any more pain, Desharow?”  Agares didn’t know what I was thinking about, he only tenderly combed through my hair with his webbed hands, and then maneuvered my head to rest on his shoulder. However, regardless of how he touches me, it only makes my blood rush even more. “You’ll adapt to it quickly.”

  Agares seems to extremely adore how I was begging him as a smile slowly formed on his face and he laughed. His eyes were dark and damp like a swamp while he simultaneously stretched out his other webbed hand to touch my ear, using his fingernails to gently scratch the back of my ear like he was enjoying it. But due to him, my ear wing felt ticklish, making it tremble like small fans on both sides. My tail coiled even more tighter around his body, like a stubborn braided pigtail, and not wanting to let go even a little bit. 

He got excited by my provocation and flipped me over, pinning me against the wall of the reservoir. He used his strong and forceful fishtail to twist around my restless newly formed one, before ravaging me just as fiercely as last night. 

  Just like this, we spent close to a day in the water reservoir. I couldn’t count how many times we’ve done it, but it was to the degree of me losing consciousness. I even felt that if I were to continue any longer with Agares, I would die from over-indulgence.  After the estrus that was caused by my mutation finally subsided, I practically fainted in Agares embrace, losing complete consciousness immediately.

After that I had a very disorderly dream. 

In my dream, I saw my relatives and my home in Moscow, dreamt of the people that bid me farewell at the port during my departure, dreamt about the scene of the Merfolk Island two years before, dreamt about the massive graveyard of the Merfolk world, dreamt about Lafarre and Davis who had been missing for a long time, along with Rhine and his troops. There were just so many fragmented dreams.

Screens of scenes, similar to those movie films, flitted across my eyes frame by frame, brief and mute, leaving behind the scattering lights of the rare and memorable past, as they gradually got further away from me.

I stretched my soft and slender fishtail while being led by Agares’s figure, passing through a shining and huge, interior body of an unknown deep sea creature. It seemed to be a brief encounter of something that once contained life, though I could experience its indescribable torment and trouble, before sinking into the quiet abyss of the sea, as if living out a very long time. syditO

“Derte, Derte! Calling for Derte, can you hear me?” 

Amidst drifting in my drowsiness,  a voice gradually woke me up. I opened my eyes, and looked toward the sound in a daze, and realized that it was coming from my piled up clothes that was placed on the edge of a table near the reservoir. It was coming from my pager, furthermore, it was Rodia’s voice. 

Chrysanthemum Garden.

I immediately went over and only when I had climbed up and onto the floor did I realize that my legs had changed back, with only a few shiny scales remaining at the top of my feet as they had yet to withdraw themselves from my skin. However my skin color had turned extremely white with a slight blue hue, just like Agares’s, and furthermore I didn’t feel cold at all. Staying in the water  actually made me feel very comfortable, so much that I could completely fall asleep right here in it. This may be the last time I would change back to my human form, since my body was already showing signs of changing into a merman form from the inside and out.  

It seems that during these two years, my mutation was put on pause because I didn’t have any sexual contact with Agares. I dejectedly thought to myself, before getting up to take in my surroundings. I soon realised that Agares wasn’t here, and I don’t know where he went. It was already night outside.  CajWeG

A dry bathrobe was set on the table, obviously prepared for me, it seemed like he knew I was going to turn back into my human form for a short while. I let out a shallow breath,wore the clothes provided, and looked for the pager. Water had already seeped in the pager, however the light was still on, I couldn’t help but to be astonished at the quality of America’s product. 

“Hey, hey, Rodia, is that you? I’m Derte.” 

A fit of noise burst from the pager, I pressed a few buttons on it and waited for a little bit before I finally heard a reply come forth, “Calling for, Derte, is that you? Where are you, some things happened in the city, I’m very worried about you.” 

“You don’t have to worry, Rodia. I’m very safe. What happened though? You seem to sound very nervous.” I replied.  5BqbkO

Rodia spoke in a hushed tone, “Do you have the issue of today’s newspaper there?” 

“No, what happened?” 

“Yesterday’s transaction with the Camorra family…er, what I’m trying to say is, the people from the German Company that planned to purchase those weird stones Kolov retrieved, had arrived in Venice.  However just this morning, a few of the company’s people were found dead due to unnatural causes. I personally saw their bodies floating on the water with their spine shattered, can you believe it!? Their spinal cords were even sucked dry, and behind their necks were markings of animal teeth. This is too horrifying, where are you? Hurry back, Venice is not safe right now, the police are looking everywhere for the killer monster.” 

My heart made a loud thump, I sucked in cold air, thinking that it could have been done by Agares, right? Those people from that so called German company should be from Sakarol’s group, it was only logical that Agares had to deal with them to take back the merfolk sports, but why did he have to drain their spinal cords? Did he just conveniently consider them as food? Furthermore,  doing this would be too unbridled, it’ll stir the whole Venice into unrest. Tsk… It’s really just too strange..  sOp9DP

“Understood, you guys don’t have to worry about me, I’m with an old friend, but keep in touch.” After saying this, I turned off the pager, and clutched onto it with a head filled with doubt. I walked up to a window of the research institute, and looked outside, seeking for Agares’s figure.

There were no lights around the water alley, especially the area we were in right now which was consumed in darkness, but not far away were the glorious lights of the city, where big and small boats travelled to and fro. The heavy rain interweaved, leaving me dazzled and confused. Even my heart, right now, was in a disorderly mess. 

An indescribable panic rose to my heart.

Those few Nazis that survived were regrouping and getting ready for a comeback. I don’t know if Rhine and Sakarol were still alive or not,  and whether they detected Agares’s existence. If they did detect him, what measures would they take? This city was under the control of the mafia, and those Germans were allies under a mutual trading relationship, but in the end, this place was still a territory occupied by military force. If they joined hands to go against Agares, would he be able to cope? In the ocean, he was no doubt an invincible chief of the merfolks, but once ashore, he would be exposed to weapons and firearms that could possibly put him at a disadvantage, no different from a fish being placed on a chopping board. Agares knew this better than anyone else, that’s why he was trying his best to disguise himself as a human and hide the mafia group.  gblB9x

It couldn’t be that Agares had met with mishap, and that he got captured by someone? I should wait for a bit, just until tomorrow morning, and if he hasn’t returned by then I’ll… 

　　I paced uneasily and ran upstairs to get a better view, but as soon as I opened the door of the second floor, I was surprised to find that in the upstairs room, all kinds of living necessities for humans were being supplied, such as beds, clothes, wardrobe, desk, etc. Not only that, up here, there were things that I had once used a long time ago, even consisting of the beachball that I used to toss with Agares in my childhood period. I was in disbelief for a good few seconds. Feeling incredulous, I held the ball in my hand, and an indescribable warm current rushed to my heart, leaving unable to recover my soul for a while. I now truly and deeply feel the weight of Agares’s love for me. It was something that could not be measured by anything, including time and space. 

　　With the beach ball in hand, I squatted down and patted at it, still somewhat absent minded as I stared blankly. 

　　Noises was suddenly heard coming from downstairs, my heart immediately contracted, and I hurriedly ran down just in time to see Agares pushing the door in. His tail was missing, and was wearing that ghostly black windbreaker. Like a mysterious traveler arriving to stay the night, he retracted the dripping umbrella in hand, and closed the door. I greeted him and took the umbrella for him, only to smell a strong metallic scent of blood. qjt59s

　　”Where have you been? Agares!” I grabbed at his collar, fearing that he might have gotten injured, and I hurriedly unbuttoned him to inspect. After opening Agare’s coat, I realized that his body was unscathed, and what’s more surprising, his lower body looks more normal then the last time (with the exception of his amazingly sized thing of course) There wasn’t a single scales on the skin, and there was also no adhesion muscle tissues on the inside of the legs. Only the transparent webs on his feet remained, but if one didn’t look carefully, this was just like any pair male legs and feet of a human being. 

　”If you want to disguise as a human, you should at least wear a pair of underpants inside, or you will be suspected of being an exhibitionist, Lord Chief,” I frowned, caressing at Agares’s wet face, bringing him to look straight down into my eyes. Both of my hands then grabbed his collar again, “Hey, tell me. What happened, how did you do this whole transforming.” 

Chrysanthemum Garden.

　　Because of the way I asked him, a strange awareness sprouted within me, and my behavior and attitude at this moment made me feel as though I had become a housewife—or wait, no—a stay-at-home husband waiting for his man who had not returned all night in order interrogate his whereabouts after he arrived at home late. Damn it, I don’t really want to act like this, but I indeed do mind where he had went last night, and was unable to endure my fretfulness. I was extremely worried just now.

“I’ve killed a few people, I needed to absorb their genes so I could mutate.” Agares whispered hoarsely against my nose, his breathing rough.  As he spoke, he twisted his neck, creating a crackling sound from his spine.  KJmd58

Even though I had mentally prepared myself in advance, I was still stunned nonetheless, “It really is you… By sucking through the spine… Oh my God…” 

　　Perhaps this was how Agares could maintain a temporary human form. He needs to absorb human cells on a regular basis to perform mimicry mutations. I’m unable to use biology to explain the things Agares had accomplished, even describing him alone is already hard: What should we call this, where one fuses human genes to change part of their own form? This was simply too horrifying, and too unimaginable. If I were to not know Agares, and not know that the people he killed were Nazis, then I would definitely put him on the high alert list of aggressive and invading alien creatures.

“I thought you would run away.” Agares said, looking at my pensive expression, his lips hooking up. He took off his windbreaker and stuck closely against me with his naked body, making my ears heat up somewhat. My gaze greedily loitered on his imposing body and the two newly formed long and sturdy legs. Looking at him like this, he was indeed a model figure that could be published in the Italian fashion magazine for his golden ratios. 

I swallowed, my mouth and tongue turning dry as I mumbled,“Won’t, I won’t run away anymore.”  PSvjQO
