Chapter 82

Agares spread out his arms, completely blocking my escape route. He had his chest puffed out and his back bent slightly backwards. Almost immediately, a peculiar sound of flesh ripping apart resonated from his back. It was like something was trying to break open and grow out of his body. Yukimura and I became frozen to our spots out of shock as we watched Agares’s completely black hair wiggle around like it was some kind of living organism, forming into a mass of black mist. There were several long thick eel-like tentacles dancing about, wriggling around in his hair. In a flash, they darted into the water and charged toward me.

“Careful!” Yukimura yelled out in fright and wielded his webbed claws in an attempt to block them for me. However, he was swept aside ruthlessly by Agares’s tail, causing him to crash hard into the wall. That sharp sickle-like tail morphed into a shadow and chopped toward Yukimura’s head at once, and at this moment of life and death, I instinctively ran to push Yukimura away without a second thought. A nip of cold air swept past my scalp, and that tail ended up being suspended above my back, becoming motionless.

Yukimura slumped down against the pool’s wall with blue blood trickling down his forehead. Agares’s swift and aggressive attack had rendered Yukimura unconscious. 5CPsnb

I pushed him into a corner, and was trembling with fear as I turned around. Agares’s tail fin was pointed closely near my forehead. The scarlet-red pointed end seemed to yearn for a bloody massacre as it quietly gestured at my nose. I held my breath and shifted my head slightly away from it, but was obstructed by his face coming into my line of sight. Agares stared at me expressionlessly, like he was wondering how to cut my head open. His tail unexpectedly swayed slowly over to lift up my head. His gaze gathered on my face, and he narrowed his eyes as though trying his hardest to identify and remember who on earth I was.

This was one of the many times I had brushed past Death, instead this time, the Grim Reaper was Agares. He could’ve killed me, but he didn’t. Then did that mean that even in this state of alienation, he still had part of his willpower intact? Perhaps, I could possibly strengthen this willpower and have it fight against the dark matters possessing his body.

This thought prompted me to lift my hand to touch his tail cautiously, like a person attempting to touch a blazing flame, and my hand went trailing upon the fine, yet hard, bony structure of his scales, making his tail tremble slightly. He lifted his tail up from the water and rested it on my chest, his eyelids blinked once, and those two pairs of lifeless eyes seemed to become alive again.

I could see a noticeable, large bulge in the enclosed scale membranes and then a group of strangely formed large sexual organs I have seen before bursted outside his body. They were twitching threateningly, with the tip of every single one of them exuding out black ‘yoila’, impatiently trying to get between my legs. It was obvious that the dark matter inside Agares was prompting him to implant a contaminated seed within my body.

“Let go of me! Agares!” Recalling the horrible experience of getting injured twice, my only thread of luck snapped in my head. I became aware that the current Agares in this state simply wasn’t the real Agares, and so my priority was to protect myself first.

I began kicking at his fishtail carelessly as I lashed out with my clenched fist, forcing a gap between the thing at his lower body and myself. My sudden burst of strength had reached the limit that I could handle that even my jaw was chattering away. Even though my ankle was firmly caught in his webbed hands immediately, there haven’t been any forced entry made yet. Q5jgs

Those tentacles coiled around my waist relentlessly, lifting me in mid-air. They were crawling into my clothes from the seams of my sleeves, collar, and even through the hem of my shirt, before resting near my chest like it was a viper seeking warmth. Then as though finding it’s target, they vigorously rubbed and scratched against the two dots on my chest.

“Ah… No…”

Upon my soft spots being attacked, I instantly quivered like I had been shocked by electricity, and both my legs couldn’t help but turn into jelly. The minute I became lax, Agares took advantage and slipped his way in along the root of my legs, piercing through my trousers, and dug through the bandages that covered my injuries. Between the cracks of my buttocks, the sexual organ began to shuttle back and forth, dismantling the tightly wrapped cloths little by little, searching for an entrance that could enter my body.

I was in so much pain that my legs were trembling, and my veins were sticking out from my neck. I could sense a great power that belonged to the merfolk coursing through my blood like lava, on the verge of exploding. Sharp nails with webbed membranes sprouted from my hands, and even fangs were squeezed out from my gums, pressing against my upper and lower jaw. When Agares pried my mouth open with his tongue, I reflexively bit down on it hard, and thick, black blood instantaneously flowed into my mouth. Out of my carelessness, I accidently swallowed it, rendering me to choke and reducing me into a coughing fit. taPdVH

However, Agares simply shoved his tongue deeper in, forcing me to accept the kiss with my mouth agape in shock. He was sucking my bodily fluid up like a vampire, as if wanting to suck out every bit of moisture in my body until I was dry. I struggled against him, in a stalemate, and my fingers that were adhered to webbed membranes were pierced into Agares’s tough skin in resistance. However, it was like he didn’t notice, not even batting an eye. Rather his expression was gloomy and ice-cold, even though we were clearly kissing.

Only, at this point, did I discover how gentle Agares was to me before. Even when he was in the pinnacle of his estrus, he still wouldn’t make me feel any physical pain. But now, he seemed to be able to kill me without much misgivings. Possessive desires did not mean anything. Occupying his body right now was a completely strange and dark organism. I even felt frightened, believing I already had lost Agares—lost the one who had viewed me as a treasure since I was a child and was the formidable existence that loved me for so many years. I only just fell in love with him, and now, perhaps will be losing him so soon.

At this moment, I heard Yukimura’s voice float in somewhere from a distance, “Kill him! Only you can do it! Only the successor is able to kill the former leader! Attack his heart!”

My mind felt like it was struck by lightning, and my survival instincts made me grope at Agares’s chest. My fingers could still move and was able to feel the thumping pulse of the object inside. Maybe I could really just kill him and become the next leader—maybe the meaning behind what Agares told me back in the cabin was this, and that he was well ready for this. But I knew that I couldn’t hurt Agares like how Yukimura fatally stabbed Asura. QxAPeu

It was at this time when my body suddenly felt light, it was Agares who had suddenly stopped his attack. A trace of blue flashed before my eyes, and only then did I clearly see Yukimura sticking himself onto Agares. His fishtail was wrapped tightly around Agare’s body. However, it was immediately pulled off by Agares’s powerful webbed claws. He then grabbed Yukimura’s slender neck and ruthlessly smashed him into the glass pool that was shattered. A sharp broken piece of glass slashed deeply across the side of his neck, and Yukimura leaned against the glass with his last dying breath, his lips moving open and close, “Kill him… End everything once and for all, this is something I was unable to accomplish.”

I took a few step forwards in shock but my body was once again forcefully put into submission by Agares. I could only look on helplessly as a huge amount of blue blood dyed Yukimura’s body while a strand of black mist came out from the wound on his neck, like it has a consciousness of its own. It then floated up toward the cabin’s sunroof window and disappeared into the darkness. I knew that the mermaid spore buried deep inside Yukimura’s body probably contains the last of his breath and it had gone to where Asura was at, to finally end a half a century of love and hate and their lifelong regret of being seperated.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Damn it, I won’t resign. I definitely won’t accept this misfortune decreed by fate! I don’t want Agares to end up being my regret!

I tightened up my jaw and firmly bit Agares’s lip all of the sudden. I could clearly hear the sound of our canine teeth slamming together when our lips met. I suspected that I nearly bit half his tongue off. His arm slackened a little and because of this I used this opportunity to counter him. VLGd9S

I didn’t realize how astonishing my strength was. When Agares tried to force me into submission, I had slammed into his body with my own, knocking him directly into the pool’s glass. What followed was a loud cracking sound, and the water inside the pool quickly poured out, in which we both fell out and onto the floor together.

I was pressed onto his body. His turned black, thick hair, spread out in a big mess, allowing me to see the circumstances hidden behind his hair——

A lump of black jellyfish-like parasites were attached to his neck—or rather—they were growing out of his neck to be more precise. When Agares went to grab my neck with his webbed claws, I simultaneously rushed to kneel down onto his fishtail first and grabbed a handful of those moving black tentacles. Hot, wet liquid came with my snarl, “Return Agares to me, you ugly bastard!”

“Give him back to me, give him back to me, give him back to me!” I repeated with gritted teeth. My tears were dripping one at a time down my face right in front of Agare’s eyes, yet he only looked back at me coldly. The depth of his eyes felt like it could swallow me whole. A sudden realization dawned on me, from when I was born until now, all the tears I’ve shed was due to him. In my entire life, I had never cried for anyone else—not even for myself—but now, my tears can’t even move Agares. So when he hesitated just before, was it just my imagination? GjvVtY

As if to prove that it was, my neck was strangled tighter by Agares’s webbed claw. From the start, my strength was incomparable to Agares. He had my lower body pinned down without using much strength, and his heavy fishtail coiled tightly around my legs, suppressing each and every of my struggles. I started to feel suffocated. My head grew dizzier from the lack of oxygen and my vision was starting to get blurry.

Within the chaos of my approaching demise, I felt him spread my legs widely apart and a tearing pain came from my neck. It was Agares tearing at me. Perhaps, he was thinking of merging with me first then eating me after, using me as a real sourceable food, just like how when mantises mates. Through the agony of losing blood, I couldn’t help but imagine what Agares’s face would be like after he snapped out of it and found me dead and mangled, laying in his hands.

The matter of life and death seemed like a hair’s breadth away type of matter. Countless flickering lights and passing shadows dissipated as soon as they appeared, and once I was aware of things, I found out that Agares had left during who knows when and that the cracks on the pool’s wall weren’t there anymore. The events that happened just now seemed like a mere frightful nightmare, only Yukimura, who had quietly passed away while lying on the floor, was real.

I lifted my head, the dense fog outside the window was already dispearsing, and the sky had returned to it’s gloomy daytime. The pitter patter of rain fell onto the window, as if it was weeping in mourning. qes59
