Chapter 3: Capturing the Mermaid

Flame Mer..

He suddenly thought of the monster in the Old Testament of the Bible that represented destruction and punishment... It was rumored that it was the reflection of the seraph Uriel, with the fire of hell burning at its tail, and it could burn and devour everything in the sea, including human souls.

He had no doubt that if the mermaid touched him even lightly with her tail fin, he would be burned into a pile of bones in the deep sea.

The oppressive feeling of impending death crept into his heart, and his mind went blank for a moment. He grabbed the handle of the diving knife and flicked it. The mechanical blade stretched out and turned into a long hook suitable for seabed exploration. He raised his hand and swung it, accurately clamping the mermaid's neck, and turned over to press on it.

The searchlight illuminated the mermaid's face. The pair of green eyes that were locked on him were so bright and captivating, like two wildfires from the depths of the underworld. It was unclear whether it was out of anger at the uninvited guest invading its territory, or out of intense hunger after suddenly waking up from the long freeze. No matter which one it was, it was all coming towards him. Medusa had no doubt that if he failed to control it, the mermaid would tear him to pieces and even chew up his bones and swallow them into its stomach.

his waist suddenly tightened, as if I was being bound by a giant python.

The heat wave hit him, burning his body. He lowered his eyes and saw the golden fish tail wrapped around his waist several times. His diving suit was burned black by the scorching golden scales and could be burned and destroyed in the water at any time.

The diving hook in his hand was still stuck on the mermaid's neck. He sneered, exerted all his strength, and pulled the power valve to the maximum. The jet of water carried him and the mermaid towards the glacier in front of them that had just broken.

"Boom!" The glacier was cracked by the impact, and the long black hair scattered like mist. He and the mermaid looked at each other, and out of the corner of his eye he saw a trace of blood escaping from behind it.

He lowered his eyes and saw that the diving hook in his right hand had been smashed into a piece of scrap metal and embedded in the ice. It was not the hook that injured the mermaid... but the white tentacle that had just wrapped around his left wrist. At this moment, it had condensed into a curved blade and deeply embedded in the mermaid's shoulder, making it unable to move.

The mermaid's green eyes stared at him deeply: "ke to..."

The hoarse voice of the boy mixed with extremely high-frequency sound waves instantly penetrated the eardrum and immediately caused a severe headache.

Medusa clenched his teeth, grabbed the mermaid's hair, mobilized the mechanical arm on the diving suit, and smashed its head heavily on the ice rock.

The mermaid's head drooped and she seemed to have fainted.

Long black curly hair surrounds the mermaid's handsome young face, and the golden light from the floating scales reflects on his skin, making him look pitifully broken, which makes him look cold-blooded and cruel.

Medusa slowly withdrew his hand and saw that the white tentacles that had condensed into blades returned to his wrist and gathered into a strange shape. It looked like the skeleton of a snake and a scorpion, and somewhat similar to the spine of a sheep. It was streamlined and clasped around his wrist, extending to the back of his hand.

What the hell is this?

It didn't look like a human creation, nor like a machine, but more like an intelligent organism. But no matter what it was, he had to thank it...since it helped him capture the mermaid.
