Desharow Mermaid - Chap 54

The following is the English translation of the text you provided:

Drowsy and lethargic, I felt Ageres kissing me. His kisses were possessive yet extremely gentle, his lips sucking on mine like he was savoring a candy he had finally obtained. As the climax receded, it felt like my consciousness was being drawn out as well, leaving behind a bundle of nameless emotions that had been soaked in alcohol. There was a fluffy, cotton-like sensation in my chest, and it felt damp.

Half-opening my wet and hazy eyes, I couldn’t help but kiss him back, our breaths mingling like an itch on the tip of our noses. I even tentatively licked his sharp fangs with my tongue, and he playfully bit it, grinding it finely. Unsatisfied, he bit down on my jawline, moving down to my throat, gently yet firmly holding me.

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, closed my eyes, and let out an unsatisfied sigh. My legs involuntarily hooked around his tail, rubbing against it, while my waist wriggled against his chest, unable to stay still. The flame inside me that had been extinguished earlier reignited.

After some teasing, we couldn’t help but give in to our desires a few times. I’m not sure how long we had been at it, but I finally lost consciousness, completely exhausted.

It felt like centuries had passed before I slowly regained consciousness. My brain was still in a foggy state, so I instinctively grabbed a handful of seawater and poured it over my head, the cold seeping into my bones, gradually calming my boiling mind.

But as I opened my eyes, I was shocked by what I saw – the cramped, dimly lit space was now much brighter, as if everything in my field of vision was illuminated by fluorescent lights, revealing every crack in the rocks.

But there was no source of light.

This was a strange sight, as if…I was looking at the outside world through a night vision lens.

What’s going on?

I touched my eyes and there was nothing covering them, but I immediately noticed a faint dark light shining on my skin, as if it was emanating from my eyeballs. Damn it, my eyeballs are glowing? I couldn’t help but think of Ageres’ eyes peering at people in the dark, and shivered. Is this also one of the signs of mutation – that I have night vision?

I moved my gaze to Ageres’ face. He was floating face-up in the water, and I could clearly see that his eyes were closed, his chest rising and falling evenly, his body covered in scales, and his injuries included bite marks and scratches. He was deeply asleep, and seemed abnormally tired from using up a lot of energy.

I stared at Ageres, a little stunned and unable to look away. I didn’t want to admit it, but he really exuded an irresistibly attractive aura while he was sleeping. I couldn’t help but reach out my hand, and touched those wounds.

My fingers traced along his collarbone, chest, and even his lower abdomen. An indescribable impulse spread out like ripples on the water’s surface, and I lowered my head, as if enchanted, and approached his face. In that moment, I saw my reflection on the dark water’s surface – my eyes were red, my lips swollen, my wet hair clinging to my pale face, my neck, chest, and lower abdomen covered in red and purple love marks, with a bite mark prominently visible on my nipple. Those teeth marks were deep, like a mark of ownership, and they were glaringly obvious.

My chaotic brain exploded as if my wandering soul had returned to my body. I remembered how I had indulged and even seduced Ageres. My self-esteem collapsed in an instant, and my body shook as I instinctively turned away, pressing my head against the rock wall and knocking it hard several times. The force was so great that I almost knocked myself out. God knows how much I wanted to pass out and wake up to find out that it was just a nightmare!

Damn it, I’ve become this way! Can I still be called a normal man?! My body was completely out of control, like a walking dead controlled by instinct.

　Great, now the chance of me turning into a mermaid has increased again! This is terrible! I don’t know how long this dreadful mating season will last, and how many times it will repeat…

I angrily punched the rock in front of me, as if it were the face of Ares. But hitting the rock only made my fist hurt, and it didn’t accomplish anything – the breathing behind me was still calm and steady, and the culprit of all this was still sound asleep, showing no signs of waking up.

In fact, I didn’t have the courage to step on the cluster of fish tails below me, so I closed my eyes and pressed my forehead against the rough rock wall, trying to calm myself down with the pain.

The cave was silent, and there was a strong primitive scent in the air that made it difficult to breathe. Just over ten minutes ago, the scene of me and Ares having intense intercourse was still fresh in my mind, and the restless feeling all over my body was coming back with a vengeance. Damn it, I was getting hard again.

I took a few deep breaths against the rock wall to suppress my urge, then turned to look at Ares. Seeing that he was still asleep, I slipped out of the cave without hesitation. I cautiously looked around and saw that the water where many mermaids had gathered was calm and peaceful, reflecting the moonlight above like a mirror. With my night vision, everything looked brighter than daytime. After confirming that there was no danger lurking in the water, I carefully felt my way up the rock wall.

Perhaps it was because of the mutation in my body, but I found that my hands and feet were much stronger than before, and my fingers could firmly attach to the damp rock wall without slipping. My body was as light as a gecko as I easily climbed up the rock wall, and soon I reached the top of this unusually steep and deep cave. Perhaps it was because mermaids secrete a kind of frictional mucus that makes it easy for them to move on land and prevents their skin from drying out. In any case, this unexpected discovery lifted my spirits, and I felt a little more hopeful about returning to normal.

Just as I was only a few meters away, a gust of wind blew from the distance.”

I thought a hurricane was about to hit the beach, so I hurriedly climbed up, but when I stood firm and looked towards the source of the wind, I realized I was completely wrong.

Those were not hurricanes, they were… several helicopters landing!

I stood frozen, dumbfounded for a moment. In an instant, several aircraft had landed in front of me, and the wind from their spinning propellers blew my clothes and stirred up dust and debris. I had to raise my arms to protect my eyes, which were streaming with tears from the strong wind. Soon after, several dozen armed men in black jumped down one by one, and I only subconsciously regained my senses, taking a few steps back in shock, realizing that these were Shakaral’s men!

However, there was no room for escape at this point. Dozens of black gun muzzles were aimed at me, and I had to immediately make the standard surrender gesture to show that I had no intention of resisting, and slowly crouch down. Suddenly, a hand came from behind and pressed me to the ground. Roughly, my hands were grabbed and tied behind my back. I touched my back and realized that I was still naked, like a pig waiting to be slaughtered.

But I didn’t even have time to feel ashamed, because the situation was so sudden that my brain was completely blank! The bright helicopter lights blinded me, and the deafening roar filled my ears. The people around me were shouting, but everything seemed so unreal. My mind was blank for several tens of seconds until I saw those people rushing towards the cave, aiming their guns inside, and suddenly I woke up!

Wait, Ageres!

In an instant, a huge tension filled my chest, making me feel a violent palpitation. I suddenly exerted a huge force from somewhere in my body and struggled to turn over, punching the person who was pressing me down from behind and running towards the armed men, shouting, “Hey, what are you doing, don’t do this, hey!”

“Tessaro!” Suddenly, Laine’s roar sounded in my ear, and a strong arm suddenly attacked me from the side, grabbing me and pulling me back.

“Damn it, Laine, let me go!”

　I yelled, and saw that the armed personnel pulled up a metal net and unfolded it, and there was a flash of lightning on it, and threw it straight into the cave.

All of a sudden, I heard Agares’ painful roar from below, accompanied by the hiss and smoke of water electrifying. The sound seemed to penetrate my eardrums and reach the bottom of my heart. It made me tremble all over, and my whole heart seemed to be grabbed by sharp claws, and I couldn’t breathe. I don’t understand why my heart hurts like this, but I don’t have any free time to think, and only one thought resounds in my brain: I can’t accept that Agares just died like this.

I stared at the entrance of the cave, and struggled desperately like a dying wolf with red eyes, but Rhine couldn’t stop me for a while, so I had no choice but to take a few steps forward and knocked down one of the armed forces at once. The officer rode on him and snatched his gun, grabbed it and aimed at one of the guys holding the iron net, cursing hoarsely: “You bastards, pull this thing up for me, or I will shoot Already!”

And the moment the voice just fell, I felt a heat on my leg, and a huge thrust knocked me down to my knees. Suddenly, there was a heart-piercing pain, and I knew someone had shot me. Yes, but I didn’t see who was aiming at me, but pulled the trigger on the guy holding the iron net without hesitation. The moment the bullet shot out of the muzzle, the recoil knocked me down On the ground, a pair of arms behind me slammed my two arms, knees pressed my back, and pressed me down with my whole body, making me unable to move at all, and I was stuck in my chest cavity even when I shouted. When he came out, he could only groan intermittently.

The roar coming from below was deafening. I trembled as I lay on the muddy ground, struggling to lift my head to watch the barbed wire being lifted up by the hook of the helicopter. The sound of metal crashing against rocks surrounded a large shaking black shadow in the center. Its webbed claws frantically tore at the indestructible metal net, and the deadly fish tail was compressed inside, revealing only half of its tail fin through the mottled net. I could only see half of Ageres’ face, with his fierce expression and dark narrow eyes staring at me as if blood were dripping from them.

Damn it, where do these Nazis want to take him!

I gritted my teeth, wanting to shout Ageres’ name, but only a few broken syllables came out of my throat. I tightly clenched my fists, wanting to struggle to get up and do something, but the weight on my back was crushing my spine. I wanted to look into his eyes, but suddenly my vision became blurry. I could only watch as the metal net was getting tighter and tighter, lifted up by the helicopter and flown away in another direction, finally disappearing from sight.

A hot liquid seemed to silently flow down my cheeks. I blinked, but found no tears. But the chest pain was so deep and real that it made me gasp for air, collapsing on the muddy ground like a dying fish.
