Dicken was clearly dissatisfied with my silence, and clenched his webbed paw firmly on my hands and raised them above my head, forcing me to look up at him as he pressed himself down against me. I promptly pushed my knee against his abdomen, but he squeezed his own body in between my legs anyway, forcing my legs to wrap around him. He then brushed his nose against mine, shoving me backwards on the boulder while his thin lips parted to warn me, “You’re not allowed to leave me at all from now on. You’re mine, so don’t try to run—I’ll take you back to my realm, sapling.”He gained every bit of my attention when he told me that he would take me to the merfolk’s realm, and I looked into his eyes that were burning with libido as I replied, “You’ll have to hurry then, dear leader—like I said, the humans would soon wage a war of unprecedented scale against each other, and it would destroy the portal to your realm. You’ll have to close it right now, because everything I say will inevitably occ
I grabbed Dicken’s hand, intent on diving into the water to flee, but dozens of barrels were pointing at the only direction we could have fled. We were still at the shallow end of the beach and quite far away from the deep end, which prevented Dicken and I from using our aquatic advantage. To make things worse, if we were to even make an attempt to flee, the Japanese army would have left us riddled with bullet holes. At the same time, Dicken was holding me even as he stayed motionless in the water. His body had been extremely aroused a moment ago, and holding back made him appear exceedingly fearsome. He was staring darkly at the soldiers surrounding us, preventing them from getting closer, and judging from their nervous looks, they must have taken Dicken to be some sort of dangerous creature.Right now, the best choice Dicken could make was to leave me behind. It wouldn’t be a problem for him to break through this encirclement—if he didn’t have me as a burden.But what if I died i
Dicken lowered his gaze to shoot me a glare as if he had been humiliated, but his expression was otherwise neutral. Then, he lowered his body and rested his head on my palm, rubbing his ear against my fingers and narrowing his eyes comfortably, even purring continuously as if he was enjoying it—I couldn’t even believe that he was my fearsome leader!Gosh, he was just so funny… But considering that there was a shot of rescuing the other captured merfolk, did sacrificing our dear leader matter that much?Even as I quietly assured myself, Dicken’s enthusiastic acting left me with mixed feelings. After all, I had seen him tear his prey into pieces, and to see him suddenly as tame as a dolphin was a little horrific. Though I was basically falling apart, I had to work with him to maintain the act.“Sorry, he was being aggressive just now because that gentleman over there must have startled him. See? He’s very tame, and he listens to me. Anyway, we’re surrendering, and we’ll come with you!
“What are you doing?”A middle-aged man suddenly barked ahead of us, and the Japanese soldiers who were dragging me and Dicken along stopped, with one of them answering, “Captain, we caught a merman and a human while we were patrolling the bitch.”“Hmmm?” The middle-aged man addressed as ‘captain’ was clearly wearing a different uniform from the other soldiers, and he was walking towards us while studying Dicken from head to tail. Soon, his expression turned solemn and he ordered, “That’s the Black Scale King! The one the professor had been looking for so long! Hurry up, separate him from the human and take him to the professor!”“Hold on, sir! Please don’t separate us—he’s going to be violent when he’s not under my influence. I have to stay with him!” Clutching the fishing net, I promptly cried out anxiously, but the middle-aged man impatiently kicked out at me. Nonetheless, Dicken’s tail swept towards me, catching it even as the sharpness of his fishtail tear a gash into it immedi
Soon, after Dicken pretended to be drugged, I was pulled out of a fishing net. They seemed to be under the impression that sedatives would be wasted on a frail human such as myself, and simply kept one gun aimed at my head. I was utterly embarrassed even as I was dragged out of the fishing net—I was only scantily dressed in several pieces of rags, and not covered anywhere else, not to mention that there were traces of my radical lovemaking with Dicken. Unsurprisingly, the soldiers began to whistle crazily at me in the next instant and studied me lecherously. If they weren’t disciplined enough, they would have been rushing to touch me!Nonetheless, I heard footsteps running straight for me, and I turned to find Mary rushing out from behind the crowd and draping a jacket over me. As I swiftly covered myself, the people behind slowly approached me, with Bob in the lead. Several scientists were following him, and he frowned in disapproval when he saw Mary’s kindness towards me.Mary nerv
“Mary, take her to the concentration camp for now. Come back to me in the evening.”“Yes, professor,” Mary promptly replied and walked up to my side, giving me a single glance before following the soldiers escorting me out of the room. Still, both she and I somehow turned around at the same time as we left the steel door—I was looking at Dicken, and Mary was clearly watching Asura, who must have been locked up in there as well. We shared a look of tacit understanding after that, and she blushed a little in embarrassment, looking utterly worried.At that very moment, I was convinced that Mary would be the best asset I had to get out of this fatal situation.After she brought me to the concentration camp, Mary did not leave right away and instead took me to a cell alone. I had expected that because Mary appeared to have many questions for me, but she couldn’t have asked them just now with Bob present. She told the other soldiers to leave with the excuse of a personal interrogation, an
Mary turned back towards me then and continued, “However, I have a bad feeling… I had a nightmare that night, where a ship was ablaze, the crew lay dead all over the place and blood splattered the deck… It was a scene from hell but it looked so real. It made me very scared.” Even as she raised her twitching eyelids, her voice quivered as she continued, “When I saw you again, there was a look in your eyes that told me that you could decipher my dream. Is that really the case, Miss Linda?”I stayed silent for seconds as I organized my own thoughts, before saying quietly, “I know you won’t believe me, but those dreams are all visions of your future in another dimension. You could interpret it as your past life, and if you don’t try to change your fate in this life, everything in your dream would happen again, and that nightmare would be yours and Asura’s future. In fact, I’ve seen your end with him with my own eyes.”“Asura? You actually know the name I gave him… no other person should
There was no telling how long had passed—it was dark and noisy outside the window when I opened my eyes again, with waves of hurried footsteps of soldiers audible from the distance, closing in. Then, I finally heard cannonfire from the distance, and looked outside the window to see that there was red mist over the horizon,with the screams of airplanes and the rattling of bullets soon resounding. The cell where I was started shaking, with dust falling off the walls around me. My chance had come! I peered outside the gap between the steel door and, just as expected, saw that there were no guards posted outside. Hence, I promptly took out my key and opened the door—the concentration camp was just opposite, and the woods which Mary had mentioned were to the left. Keeping myself low with a crouch, I looked around and swiftly made a dash into the woods.The darkness and the woods formed the best cover I could have, and as I kept myself in the darkness that provided a sense of security, I
Before I realized what Dicken was going to do, he breathed an exceedingly high-pitched cry as sonorous as thunder. The entire cave shook in its wake as he grasped my hips with both his webbed paws, lifting me high into the air. A school of sea fishes suddenly swam out of nowhere in an instant, their bodies shining as they encircled us like birds. At the same time, the merfolk started dancing in excitement, kicking up splashes as they pivoted gracefully, the scales of their tails reflecting radiance amid the darkness just like stars in the night sky, the robust, burly mermen and the beautiful, devilish mermaids interweaving to form a bright river of stars.I stared at the stunned sight, mesmerized, spreading my arms by reflex as if infected. I wanted to embrace my dear leader who had surprised me endlessly, expectant of the new world he would take me to.That was when I heard a quiet voice beneath me. “Linda…”I looked down into his wide, narrow gaze that seemed to embody that rive
In the previous dimension where I lived, I had already been prepared to live away from the humans with Dicken. I had nothing aside from him, who was always by my side—our connection seemed so unbreakable just then that I believed that to be my fate.However, I still wouldn’t hope that he would keep killing because of me. Looking into his eyes, I pleaded once again, “Could you promise me to spare Baron? Right now, he’s of no threat to you or merfolk. As long as we return to the domain of your race, humans would have nothing to covet—can’t we stay away from those conspiracies? I’ll always be yours, dear leader.”Dicken looked deeply into my eyes as if he was considering my proposal, and remained quiet for a long time before he eventually gathered me in his arms. “I promise, Linda.”“Hey, shouldn’t we be going out now, and don’t you have an announcement to make? Your people are waiting for you.” I exhaled lengthily and patted his back just then.At those words, I suddenly realized t
That being said, it was no different from me letting myself be taken, because my stubbornness and determination only ever made Dicken want to conquer me even more. We had never been equals, be it fifty years ago or now.One might even say that he wanted me more after losing me once. His desire for me was so strong that he would kill Baron, even though he had granted me rebirth as agreed. After all, he wanted to be my one and only, and no merfolk were allowed to share a single iota of my sentiment. Fuck!I bit my lip, tearing it and tasting blood in my mouth just then, but I couldn’t feel the pain at all.He had suddenly let go of my ankles and gathered in his arms once more, and did so gently. His broad webbed paws caressed my back as if to reassure me, and he did not try to take me anymore.That surprised me, and I opened my eyes and saw that he was staring into my eyes. Then, his eyebrows lowered, he licked the blood on my lips lovingly, seemingly not as furious or agitated as
In fact, I was more willing to believe that Dicken was exaggerating, since my grandfather had never been out of line as far as I could recall. However, even as I assured myself, I was searching my memory in fear that my grandfather meant me harm—fortunately, I came up with nothing, since all I remembered about him was of him being a kind elder who had taught me to read and played with my younger self. There was no question that he had acted like an elder, and even if Dicken wants to take his place in my heart, it would be in a completely different role, since there would always be a part that he couldn’t replace.“Stop thinking about him now, Linda. He’s merely carrying out a mission I had assigned him, and the reason he didn’t lay a finger on you was because I had restrained him.”Dicken appeared to become angrier as he observed my expression, and his was unusually deep as if he would get furious soon. It left me uncomfortable—Dicken appeared reluctant for another merfolk to stay in
I suddenly felt a slippery sensation from my waist, and found the mischievous stingray curling into a ball as it hid behind me, seemingly startled by Dicken’s lecherous tongue.“See? You scared it, pervert.” I leaned in, resting the bridge of my nose against his head as I chuckled softly. On the other hand, Dicken pinched the tender flesh on my hip and stroked my back a few times as he watched me lovingly. “I really want to hide you away, Linda…”“Where would you hide me?” I buried my head in his head and sniffed—it was hard to restrain myself with that intoxicating champagne-like scent of his, but I promptly came to my senses as I remembered that fugitive. “Hold on, don’t seduce me or try to divert my attention with sweet words. What’s with that merman who’s saying that he’s going to look for your Yiki?”Dicken patted my head feebly and stayed silent for a while, but eventually admitted, “It’s Baron.”I froze, immediately remembering the furious glare of that merman who had hidd
“Why would you clothe me out of the blue…” I inhaled deeply, and as I pulled away from his kiss after much difficulty, I asked in confusion, “Are you taking me somewhere?”Dicken looked deeply into my eyes as if something astonishing would soon occur. “Yes… I’m going to announce to my subjects that you’re my mate…”With those words, he threw me over his back and swam out of the cavern filled with stone pillars.Gosh, I was flabbergasted. Still, I soon realized that this was pretty much how it should go, since Dicken had yet to announce about us to his subjects in this dimension. However, I felt a little headache when I remembered how the announcement in the last dimension had gone… He was not going to mate with me in front of everyone again, was he?“Your Majesty…”A high-pitched call suddenly rang from ahead, followed by splashes as a purple figure swam towards us. I was stunned when a face floated out of the water—that purple hair, along with those facial features that were sh
My eyes welled with tears and my mind went dizzy, while a scorching jet of water shot into my body. That was when I saw a blue light moving downwards from Dicken’s chest to where we were connected, and as innumerable jolts struck all over my body, my heart clenched in the intensive stimulation.For a few seconds, I was unable to breathe as all consciousness and emotions seemed to fuse together, rushing towards the wall that was blocking my memories…Then, the wall shattered. “Linda… Linda…”The familiar voice could be heard as if from the distant horizon, though it soon became clear and ultimately echoed beside my ears, and there was no doubt that he was beside me.“Dicken?” I opened my eyes and found my dear leader. It was as if I had met him once more after a slumber that lasted centuries, and yet I felt him beside me all along, and the memory of him taking this body was extremely distinct.I was at once confused and mystified as the memories from two different dimensions slow
“Damn it, you crazy animal…” I cried and moaned, my legs that were kicking Dicken’s shoulder caught by him with ease. At the same time, his body continued to press down on me from above like a hill, holding my body firmly down.Dicken’s hoarse voice spoke beside me then. “Don’t move, Linda, or I won’t be able to resist violating you even more violently—you have no idea how delicious you are…”I froze, my breath cut off at his words even as his tongue slithered into my ear and kicked it as if teasing, while his webbed paw groped my breast. A paralyzing sensation that felt electric spread all over my body, slowly easing the bursting pain of being entered. Soon, a familiar yet irresistible exhilaration occupied my senses, and even as I kept gulping, my own spit was welling out the corner of my mouth.Curious, Dicken stared at the edge of my lips and extended his tongue to lick it, as if it were the tastiest raindrops in existence. At the same time, I could feel him entering several inc
“Don’t be scared…”As Dicken inhaled deeply over my nape, his breathing became heavy and choppy. He twitched as he snuggled up against my back, and I could feel his humongous member flapping against my buttocks, along with its scorching heat. How could I not be scared by the prospect of that thing penetrating me?!I clenched my fist and punched at his tail which was darting between my legs, but he easily grabbed my wrist and suddenly turned around, pinning me beneath himself while his tail slithered between my legs and lifted my buttocks. Losing my balance, I fell sprawled over the reef, and as he gripped my hands to keep them behind myself, tears rolled out of the corner of my eye by instinct as lust and fear suddenly erupted. “No, I’m scared, Dicken… No, you’ll hurt me…”Dicken ignored my plea for mercy, however, and kept leaning on me as he gnawed my shoulder, as if to devour me by one tiny bite after another. The tenderness and adoration he’d shown towards me just now was gone,
