Chapter 47: The sea-maiden’s tale
Last Updated:
2023-01-05 16:00:58Sirene's POV:
Flashback was more than a century ago...
Seventy-one percent of the earth is covered in water. There are more creatures living in the water compared to the earth's surface, but only a few are known to men. Up until today, our existence is considered a myth and urban legend. We preferred to be hidden from the world as we no longer trust the creatures of the earth. Sea-maiden’s fishtail turns into human feet once the ocean water dried out from our skin. We can easily blend with humans without being caught.
It's been more than a century since we last set foot on the surface of the earth. Before, we were able to co-exist with humans and other creatures. Sea maidens aged ten times slower than any other creatures. The ocean is slowing the aging process of our bodies. The cold temperature helps to preserve our youth and beauty which is why our lifespan is longer tha

The Devil's Kiss Chapter 48: Deadly Kiss
Sirene's POV:The sweetest smiles can deceit innocence. It illumines the feature of beauty that hides and masks a person's dark side. A smile can be alluring like magic that was cast upon you. If you are ready to believe, then you are easy to deceive.As soon as I found out that Coralia left with Kieran, I rush to the old castle on the top of the village's mountain without having a second thought. To be honest, I was frightened down to the soles of my shoes, but the thought of Coralia alone with Kieran and possibly in danger is giving me the strength to keep going.The higher I climb to the top of the mountain, the darker it gets. Until it becomes cold and everything is turned into pitch black. All I can see is darkness in the middle of nothingness. Although my body has frozen in fear, my hands were cold and clammy. Cold sweats dripped from my forehead, and my knees were trembling and w

Dylan's POVPresent time:I never thought that the hatred of the sea maidens against the vampires was too much judging from their experiences. I just hope Sirene would find a place in her heart to forgive me if ever she found out that I am partly responsible for creating a monster that is called a vampire."Here take one and swallow it," Sirene instructed all of us to take a pea size pearl-looking object from the palm of her hand. "It will help you to breathe under the sea and will keep you warm from the freezing temperature of the water," she carefully explained."It means that this little thing will turn us into a mermaid?" Oslec confusedly asks Sirene."I can't imagine Fugly turning into a mermaid," I chuckle."You are not going to turn into a sea maiden or transform into a freak of nature. You wi

Dylan's POV:All of the heads of the Hydra beast gather around surrounding me. All eyes were locked on me and ready to attack. I was just standing in the middle of the cave and doing my role as a diversion while the rest of the group was on a stand by waiting for the perfect moment to attack. The same thing goes for the beast. It is waiting for me to make my move, and I am sure that its head will charge me in a heartbeat.Being a human has a lot of downsides and one of them is having cramps. Seriously, standing here for a long time is stiffening and weakening my legs. I don't know how long can I endure standing here acting as bait and why are they taking so long to attack the beast.I can't wait anymore, so I decided to make the first move. I waved my right hand and release the sword that was forged by a famous blacksmith the Devil's hand. I was about to swing it onto the beast when one

Dylan's POV:After we defeated the sea monster, the hot steam that is covering the entire cave slowly vanishes as the temperature decreased. Everything becomes visibly clear, and we saw a tiny door towards a certain room."That must be the place where your wing is hidden," Clarren curiously said Aria."There's only one way to find out," Aria anxiously said.She immediately runs towards the door and before she could even open it, I hold her arms and pull her away from it."We need to be careful. There could be a trap behind that door," I warned her.Clarren and Oslec were standing behind me in attack position while I opened the door slowly and took a peek to see if there are enemies inside. There is no one inside and all I can see was a pedestal in the middle of the room."The coast is clear," I told them and wave my hand

Dylan's POV:Aria didn't even look at me nor say a single word when we arrived in the Silent Willow Forest. She just went inside the fortress without saying goodbye. I was about to leave when Freya called out to me."Dylan, wait a minute." She runs towards me.I turn my head around to face her. "Did you forget something?" I curiously asked her."I know you are not the same demon as you were before and believed me, I've seen so many monsters in my life and I can tell that you are not one of them. Whatever the reasons you have for making a contract with the Demon King just make sure to fix it. Aria loves you so much and I hate to see you guys fall apart like this," she sadly said to me. I can see the worried look in her eyes, and I am really moved by her sincere concern for me."Thank you for believing me. I will get stronger and will be back, so I

Dylan's POV:"I have no time to joke with you, Emann," I told her."Do I look like I'm joking to you?" She rolled her eyes."Spit it out and tell me what it is," I anxiously said in a demanding tone. I'm running out of patience with all the suspense and curiosity at the same time."Have you heard about the Demon King's child?" My jaw dropped and my eyes widened. It didn't occur to me that she will bring that topic out. I'm not even sure if it is real that the Demon King has a child, to begin with. What surprises me more is Emann knew about it."No way! How is it even possible?" I said on the contrary."Well, it's not a big secret, but nobody wants to talk about it. Everybody is afraid of the Demon King," she casually replied."I never heard about it, or I'm just too busy with collecting souls and didn't p

Yang's POV:I've been waiting for this moment to come for someone brave enough to step up and fight against the Demon King. The success probability may be low, but I'd like to take my chances. An opportunity like this doesn't come every day.They thought that it would be that easy to convince me and join their crusade to retrieve the nephalem's wing. Well, it will be if they were able to comply with my only condition."What kind of condition is that?" Dylan's forehead creased.The Djinn started to get anxious and worried at the same time. I can sense that he is desperate, and he is willing to do anything for the nephalem. If that is the case, then we are going to get along very well since we are on the same page. I've been waiting for this moment to come for someone brave enough to step up and fight against the Demon King. The success probability may be low, but I'd

Dylan's POV:We do crazy things for the sake of love even fight against our kind. I know exactly how Yang feels as I am currently experiencing the same dilemma. Human thinks that supernatural creatures are not capable of such feelings, but sometimes we act more humanely than them."Where can we find Yin?" I asked Yang. I don't want to waste time and the quicker we reach our destination the faster I can go back to Aria."They kept her captive in Death Valley which is located in the Western Hemisphere," he quickly responds. "Going there is easy, but the place is highly guarded," he warns us."Oh please don't tell me that we are going to face another hydra beast," I worriedly said to Yang."You fought with the Hydra beast and won?" Yang surprisingly asked me."Yeah, we won, but we got help from the fallen angel, demon warrior, and the naphalem.

Dylan's POV:The ray of light was beaming through the small window. I can feel the warmth of the sun and slowly open up my eyes. My body was sore and stiff when I tried to move. My head is heavy, and my vision is fuzzy trying to see where exactly am I."Dylan, you are finally awake."I heard a familiar voice and when my vision started to get clear, it is confirmed that it was no other than Freya who is standing in front of me and looking down at me."Where am I?" I asked her feeling confused and disoriented. "Where is everybody?" I force myself to stand and sat on the bed. "Where is Aria?"I look around me trying to find a familiar face. I realized that we were back in the fortress of Silent Willow forest."Dylan, you need to stay calm. You have sustained severe injuries in your body, and you need to get more rest," Freya tries to change the
The Devil's Kiss Chapter 69: One with the Gods
Aria's POV:I regain consciousness and found myself lying on the marble pedestal in the middle of nowhere. I noticed that all of my clothes were gone, but I didn't feel cold. There's a lush warm sensation within me. There is no pain in my body and no wounds or scar. I feel light as a feather and no heavy feeling or burden is weighing on me. I never thought that I was going to experience this euphoric feeling and tranquillity in my life. There is a rainbow of emotions at my disposal and yet, why do I still feel empty?"Am I dead?"That's the first thing that comes to my head. I don't feel threatened or worried and sense no harm. I get up, sat down on the pedestal, and look around me to see my surroundings all I can see was a bright light of infinite nothingness."Where am I?" I whispered to myself.I walk around trying to figure out what is going
The Devil's Kiss Chapter 68: The Nephalem
Dylan's POV:Death is inevitable. I heard those words from Aria when we first met and trick her into making her first wish. We will all die anyway. She said it without a flinch. Aria is not afraid to die at that very moment because she felt that she has no reason to live and it is easier to accept death. Knowing that there's nothing to leave behind. That was before we found love.Now we are all gathered here on this battlefield fighting for our lives because we wanted to live. Ironic isn't it? There are moments like this when I wanted to give up and give in. Surrender to the darkness because there's nowhere to go. I feel trapped and lost with no hopes left in me, but when I think of Aria. No matter how difficult the situation is, I just can't let go of the possibility that one day we can be together living a normal and peaceful life. That small chance, a glimpse of hope, and the possibility are giving me enough strength and
The Devil's Kiss Chapter 67: The Demon King
Dylan's POV:"Dylan, wake up!"The agonizing pain in my head awakened my sore body. The stench of a thousand burning corpses fumes all over the place. My lungs were congested with thick smoke from the fire giving me non-stop coughing and difficulty of breathing."Dylan, wake up!"I heard it again. Someone is calling my name. "Where am I?" I confusedly said to myself. "Am I dreaming?" Still confused about what is going on with my surroundings and me."Geez, he lost it. Try to shake him or something." I heard another voice talking to the one who is calling out my name.My vision was still hazy trying to figure out what had happened. I tried to get up and look around me, then I saw Emann rubbing a piece of cloth on my forehead."Your head is bleeding try not to move too much," she softly said to me wh
The Devil's Kiss Chapter 66: Doomsday
Dylan's POV:This is it. The beginning of the end and the war will lead to the downfall of the Kingdom of Hell. I should feel excited that finally, it would be over, but I can't deny that my feelings are somehow divided. I am afraid and feared for the safety of Aria and the rest of the squad who will fight against the most powerful demon.There is thunder roaring like a beast outside the fortress. We are all startled upon hearing the eerie sound and decided to take a peak from the small opening of the fortress to see what is going on outside.We saw a huge thick red cloud from where the thunder came from, heading to our location. Unlike the dark cloud already covering the entire third stage of hell, this one brings acid rain, which is as red as human blood, and very destructive lighting that annihilates everything it touches. The cloud and storm are just a diversion. We are pretty sure that demon soldier
The Devil's Kiss Chapter 65: Reunited
Dylan's POV:A great philosopher once said that if you want to succeed in life then your desire for success must be greater than anything else. There is no room for failure. I may be turning back into a human being, but I am still a demon and I will do anything in my power to get Aria's wing no matter the odds. Even if it means I have to return to my old ruthless self again.I let Aria, and the others go outside the cave for I don't want her to see the monster in me. I love her and I am afraid that she will resent me if she witnesses my true nature.It took me almost an hour before I finally reached the exit of the cave and everybody is waiting patiently for me to come out of the cave.As expected, there are all busy fighting the orcs. They are doing their best to hold their ground while I was busy negotiating with the Queen of the Damned."What took you so long?
The Devil's Kiss Chapter 64: True Love's sacrifice
Dylan's POV:"Yes," Aria's quick response to my proposal. "Yes, I will marry you, Dylan Lockey!" she repeats her answer will all sincerity and a rainbow of emotions at her disposal.Everyone releases an audible sigh and forcibly claps their hands to show support for our engagement. They don't want to ruin the moment, so nobody said anything to contradict the happy scene.I stood up and inserted the ring on the fourth finger of Aria's left hand and just now realized that it was no ordinary ring. The size is adjusted to the finger of the owner of the ring and the color of the gemstone changes depending on Aria's mood. Aria looks very impressed with her ring. I can see the wide smile on her face and the sparkling look in her eyes."Do you like it?" I asked her even though I already knew the answer, it is still good to hear her say those words."I love it," she quick
The Devil's Kiss Chapter 63: Fated
Dylan’s POV:We are busy testing the powers of the silver fox when a group of angel soldiers arrived on the scene. One of them is dressed differently from the rest of the military troops and from what I can tell, he possesses the highest rank in the military.His armor is gold-plated, unlike the others who wore silver armor. He carries badges that are pinned on his armor which stated his achievements from the previous wars. He wore a crimson red robe that I think serves no purpose but he did look so damn cool with it as if he is really in authority and has the power to control the situation.His wings are equipped with titanium blades with magical spells on them. The spell appears to be a demon-cleansing spell similar to the spell that was engraved on all of their weapons. Weak types of demons are vulnerable to this kind of weapon. They don't have enough power to deflect the effect of the spells. H
The Devil's Kiss Chapter 62: Silver Fox
Dylan's POV:Despite our best effort to control the situation in the Southern Hemisphere, the demons are getting closer to the barrier, and more human lives are becoming casualties of war. Night and day the phoenix couple has stayed up on guard to ensure that nobody else gets hurt.Over the years, demons have learned how to disguise themselves, walk and live amongst humans. They have increased in number and are smarter than ever. Like me, they have learned how to hide their powers so that demons and angels cannot detect them. Hiro, Emann, and I were in charge of evacuating the humans and taking them to a safe place. We find it hard to identify the demons and the humans for they all look the same."Hiro, check everyone before you take them to the safe house. We can't afford to let a demon in the headquarters," I reminded him."I can't detect which one is the demon and which one is hum
