The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 65

He was a beast, after all. His acts of intimacy stemmed from his feral instincts and were not based on

emotions. It was perfectly logical for him to leave.

Although I had that train of thought, I still mentally cursed him in the back of my mind. ‘Despicable!’

I hadn’t expected to feel miserable. I clenched my fists in a fury. ‘That stupid beast! How could he

abandon me?!’

Just when I was lamenting his absence, I suddenly heard the sound of a strong wave crashing against

the hull of a boat. Seawater overflowed onto the deck and the boat started rocking side to side.

The man stepping on me lost balance and fell onto the floor. Withstanding the pain, I crawled up and

raised my head. Dicken’s tail clung to the boat’s mast as he propped his body upright, overseeing the

situation on the boat from above like a harbinger of death.

He roared fiercely before pouncing onto the pirate that had stepped on me. With a mighty swing from

his long tail, several of the pirates who were ready to fire their guns were toppled over. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Then, he extended his razor-sharp claws and stared down at everyone present. In a split second, he

dug his claws into the lower back of a pirate and flung him forward onto his abdomen.

Blood sprayed out from the wound, and Dicken was covered in it instantly. He then looked at the

situation around him once again. I was so shocked that no words could leave my lips. I could only

remain stunned as I sat on the floor. I felt the urge to gag as my body couldn’t help but tremble at the

scene.

Dicken’s brutality in this situation was more terrifying than what he had done to Alice. The impression I

had of Dicken had changed after witnessing that situation.

The mess of thoughts in my mind put me in a trance, yet I couldn’t shift my eyes away. Covered in

blood, Dicken stood up from the corpse supported by his tail. He was slightly more than two meters tall

when standing upright and appeared like a king looking down on his subjects on the deck.

Droplets of blood remained on his weapon-like claws. His deep blue eyes bore ferocity that could make

anyone quiver in fear. Like a devil that arose from hell, he could snatch the lives of anyone he wished.

Even bloodthirsty pirates wouldn’t dare stand against him.

“Do not…touch…my…Linda.“

Dicken cast his gaze onto me before sweeping to the group of ruthless pirates. His lips revealed a

threatening smile as his throat released a deep sound resembling a growl.

This must have been the first time these pirates had encountered such a ferocious creature. They

couldn’t help but take several steps back in terror. Even their

grip on their guns and rifles weakened as their hands shook.

I was drenched in a cold sweat, but under the current circumstances, there was no way I would stop

Dicken’s massacre. ‘After all, the pirates have no respect for life or other people. They don’t even have

mercy for children or the elderly. If I weaken my resolve here, then more blood will be on their hands.’

However, I had no way of moving because I had no idea what I could do in that situation.

“Linda, get away from the merman and the pirates! Get into the cabin quickly! “

Gary’s voice reached my ears from somewhere above me. I looked up in the direction of his voice and

saw that he and some of the soldiers had their guns trained on the pirates.

The tables had been turned, and now the pirates were at a disadvantage. They had their backs against

each other in a group. Some of them aimed their guns at Gary and the soldiers, while the others aimed

at Dicken instead.

But at that moment, no one dared to be the first to open fire.

I realized what the key to this situation was. ‘If someone opens fire, the restrained sailors will become

live targets as they are defenseless. I can’t just hide by myself and leave them behind like this!’

I immediately crouched down to untie the ropes on one of the sailors, but on second thought, I realized

it would consume too much time.
