Chapter 41

“Desharow…come…” 

Just when I gazed upon Agares’s side-cast face, feeling as if my eyes were on him, he turned his face towards me and extended a webbed hand, bending his finger in my direction.

I leaned against the wall, feeling stunned, then I saw a flash of red light appear from beneath the dark water. The opposing merman, who wouldn’t admit defeat even in the face of death, had been provoked and ended up charging aggressively towards Agares with a rolled-up wave that he had conjured within that second. His followers, who had been lying defeatedly in the back, suddenly sprang back into action and fought against Agares’s followers. The sound of horrifying, screeching shouts echoed throughout the dark cave, and it was chilling enough to make anyone who heard alarmed with fright.

I swore, when merfolk fought amongst each other, it was a much more grotesque sight compared to when any other fierce, wild animal population killed each other. If one took a look at a seal, or perhaps, a lion, one wouldn’t see them as humans, especially now, with them tearing each other’s bodies apart into pieces.. Their arms were torn away, and their heads were wrung off their neck while they were still alive. Within a short span of time, the broken appendages had scattered in the water and some were even floating beneath my eyes. Instantly, the air was pervaded by a strong scent of blood. 

I stuck closely to the wall, covering my mouth with my cold, trembling hand, feeling as though on the verge of puking. I suddenly felt like I had been transported into the horror movie “House of Wax” or had returned to that time where I wrote internship reports at the hospital’s morgue.

[T/n, House of Wax is a 2005 slasher film, where a group of friends stranded on the way to a football match approach an abandoned wax museum for help]

I was utterly overwhelmed from witnessing an extremely horrific scene. I couldn’t help but wish that there was another way out so that I could escape from this chaotic place. 

In the next moment, I suddenly heard a voice above me. “Desharow, Desharow! Hurry and come up!”  

The author has something to say: Don’t misunderstand anything, the next chapter is not H.
