Flynn still doesn't move from where he stood, making Niken feel anxious. Will Flynn reject her? What should she do if Flynn refuses her help?
Niken's head felt dizzier and dizzier by the minute. She felt as if her body was about to fall and just wanting to take a nap. Aqua felt discouraged and wanted to quickly take Niken out of this place. But knowing that there was only a little bit more Niken would be able to erase this place's memories, Aqua abandoned her plans.
"Flynn, please. I don't have time. Let me help you."
Still, no reaction from Flynn, and the daemon just stood there like sculptures.
"Flynn, Merylin is looking for you. She is worried about you and wants to meet you. Don't you want to meet her?" Niken tried her best not to pass out and spoke her lines softly.
For the first time since Niken talked to him, Flynn reacted by turning his gaze towards Niken. It seemed Niken had to mention Merylin's name to trigger a reaction.
"Me.ry.lin?"
Niken gasped in shock at Flynn's unusual voice. His voice sounded like a thousand voices were speaking at the same time, and it sounded terrifying in her ears. Not only that, the way the daemon pronounced Merylin's name seemed like a robot stuttering.
"Oh, Flynn, what happened to you?" Niken felt her heart was broken to pieces to see the contrast between the current Flynn and the Flynn she remembered.
Niken often heard the story that all daemons were evil demons and did not care about human life. However, ever since she met Flynn, her view of the daemons began to change. She could not imagine that mischieve Flynn could turn out to be so evil and slaughter humans.
"Please, let me help you. After that, we will meet princess Merylin together. Hm?" coaxed Niken as if she was the mother persuading her son to eat vegetables he doesn't like.
Aqua felt relieved when she saw Flynn move his feet toward Niken. Flynn's movements were stiff as if this was the first time he had learned to walk. His face was also so flat that it was difficult to tell the daemon's mood.
The longer Niken tried to hold on to her place, the more dizziness she felt in her head.
Niken bit her tongue so hard that she could feel an iron taste on her tongue. She used the pain on her tongue to stay awake and not fall asleep. She couldn't sleep or pass out at a time like this.
Just a little more, just a little more. Convinced Niken silently like a spell to keep her awake.
However, the drowsiness and dizziness that attacked her grew bigger, making Niken unable to endure it anymore.
Just as Niken almost fell asleep, her hand felt the touch of the daemon's hand. The next second, the scenery around her began to change. At the same time, the drowsiness and dizziness she felt earlier vanished instantly.
The next scene was when Uzzarc captured Flynn and engraves the slave symbol on his back. The scene also faded replaced by another scene. Niken saw Flynn was brutally tortured by Uzzarc and his family, causing her heart to feel a pang.
Scene after scene appeared before Niken's eyes, and she managed to erase all the bad memories that Flynn had had for hundreds of years. It's just that, Aqua did not expect Niken to be in tears when she saw the sad scenes in front of her.
Aqua licked the tears on Niken's cheeks as she rubbed her head against the recesses of her neck to comfort her.
Niken didn't know how long she had been in this place, but miraculously she didn't feel tired or sleepy at all.
It's just that, when will this terror of scene end?
Why does she feel Flynn's bad memories are endless? Then what about the daemon's happy memories with Merylin? Why didn't it show up?
Just as she was thinking about Flynn's happy memories with Merylin, the next scene appeared to make Niken blow her mind.
There she saw Merylin… the child version of Merylin crouching amidst flowers while frowning. Flynn appeared approaching Merylin with a curious gaze.
"Hey, you are not human. Why are you here?"
Merylin looked up to see Flynn then snorted in annoyance. "You are not human yourself. What are you doing here? Do you want to hurt humans?"
"Ah? I just arrived in the human realm because I was curious about other creatures. I had no intention of harming humans or anything. How about you?"
"I am a protector of humans."
Flynn laughed as if he had just heard something funny. "What can a child like you do?"
Merylin pouted like an adorable child, making Flynn wanted to pull her leg. "I'm not a child, I'm twelve years old!"
"Twelve years is still a kid."
"I told you I'm not a child! I am the mermaid princess of Mermaladia Kingdom!"
"Ah, so you are a spirited race. I'm a daemon, my name is Flynn. You?"
Niken was baffled with the sudden change in subject.
"Merylin," came the reply from the innocent Merylin.
"Hey, want to be my friend? It's my first time coming to this place, so I'd love to befriend you." Flynn stretched out his hand towards little Merylin, making Niken's heart warm.
Ah, apparently, this is the scene when Flynn and Merylin met for the first time. Who would have thought that little Merylin was so adorable and cute?
Unlike the previous scenes, Niken did not erase these memories but preserved them. It seemed that she had to dig up for herself the happy memories Flynn had.
Unexpectedly, apparently, Flynn had a lot of sweet memories, whether when Flynn was still in the daemon realm or when he came to the human realm for the first time.
It's just that his hatred and despair buried all those memories so that Niken couldn't find a window to the beautiful memory when Niken came to this place.
One by one, Niken dug back the buried memories with Aqua's help. Just like when the wizard dug into the memories of the evil mermaids, Niken did the same.
It's just that the wizard could do it on a large scale and simultaneously. While Niken… she had to dig them one by one.
Luckily, Flynn had given her access to his astral dimension so that Niken didn't have to worry about being exhausted. If not, she would have fallen unconscious all this time.
