In Mertac,
"This is the mermaid?" Kenna cackled in laughter as she stared at Melody.
Mich furrowed his brows, offended by her reaction.
Circling Melody who was still trapped in the bubble of water, she laughed at how calm and collected the mermaid was.
"Mich, are you sure you captured the right mermaid?" Kenna mocked, amused by how quiet Melody had been since her arrival.
Mich had his mouth gaped open in shock, disturbed by her quietness and reluctance to speak.
Pointing an accusing finger at her, Mich wished he could strangle her as he had done at the beginning.
"She's hiding something of mine and I need your help to get the information."
Kenna stared wide eyes at the mermaid, finally understanding what he was talking about.
"Was it a success?" Kenna gasped, her pearl wristband snapping and letting them all scattered about on the floor.
Melody watched them silently, determined not to speak and maintain her cover.
Mich facepalmed, and narrowed his eyes on Melody, punching on the bubble, "you must be having a time of your life."
"Leave us," Kenna cut in, her voice trembling, never leaving the sight of Melody.
Mich raised a brow at her action but said nothing in response as he complied.
Once she was sure that he had exited her hut, she engulfed the walls with her Sux and inched closer to the bubble.
"You aren't a true mermaid," she revealed, narrowing her ears at Melody.
Melody immediately shared her connection with Hisha. 'master, someone knows!'
Hisha, who had his feet drumming on the floor, was quick to respond when a notification popped up.
[Melody, what happened?] He had immediately blurted out but went silent the moment he witnessed who was staring back at the screen through Melody's perspective.
[Last host of the white pearl]
'I see.' Hisha rubbed his chin, partially understanding why Mich would bring her to the predecessor.
[40:07:34]
'Master, she has an idea of what I am.' Melody complained, weary about this elder's knowledge.
[She doesn't look like she is on the side of Mich. Test her]
Melody blinked her eyes in response, smiling at Kenna.
As though in a trance, Kenna's blue eyes spread out her palm on the bubble, "you also have a limited time."
[That's quite unexpected] Hisha observed.
Placing her hand on the bubble, Melody gave a shy smile, unable to explain herself more than it was.
Kenna gasped and pulled away, "you're... you're... the..."
Before she could say any more, she dropped–unconscious, her hold on the barrier dissolved.
Melody blinked several times, trying to come to terms with what she had just witnessed.
Groaning in pain, Melody could see her vision dim and images replicated in a sort of afterimage.
'What's going on?' She thought with a groan of pain.
[32:07:34]
Hisha furrowed his brow as he questioned HTC on why she was experiencing pain when nothing had been done to her and most importantly–why her timer had reduced drastically.
[The repercussion of creating the same living entity twice had taken a toll on her lifespan and would decline greatly]
Staring with a stoic face at the screen, unable to express his emotions at watching her suffer the consequences of her creation once more.
'Melody,' Hisha began, hoping to at least appease her before she could pass out, 'I adored every moment spent with you and I never regretted any, if there's a way I could extend this, I would."
Melody's gasp had finally caught the attention of some guards outside securing the premises.
Once he had stuck his head in, there was a flash of shock on his face before he alerted the rest.
Rushing in, most had gathered around Kenna, checking for some sign that she was still alive.
Spears were drawn to her outside the bubble, Melody unable to make out their faces but the pointed tip of them.
[Hang in there, you'd soon get your desired rest] Hisha reluctantly assured, knowing that wasn't going to do much use to her situation.
[29:44:29]
Forcing a smile as he heard Melody chuckle at his words, knowing her end was close.
'I should kill more again, take them with me, my lord!' Melody exclaimed in rage in her thoughts, forcing her right eye open.
[You can but make sure you only kill those who treat you badly at this moment!]
Huff!
Huff!
She struggled to breathe, internally cursing at the feeling and almost wishing she could live long like the rest.
Kenna was assisted by three guards covering her body with an encasement of water which made her hover in a sleeping position until they found a solution.
Mich rushed in at that moment, breathing heavily and eyes doubled in shock at the state of the two.
Pushing the guards in front of him, he rushed to Kenna's side, "what the hell happened here?!"
All the guards were startled and looked at one another in confusion.
"You!" Mich sneered, dissolving the bubble. Although he knew he couldn't touch her, he had other sinister ideas for her.
Taking a body count of the number of guards present, his eyes glinted with rage as he ordered they all have a share of what she could offer.
"You are not allowed to leave this hut until she truly dies this time!" Mich ordered as he took Kenna with him, locking the door behind him and coating the hut with a barrier formation with his Sux.
Hisha got to his feet in disbelief and disgust. 'What the fuck is going on?!'
[He had just ordered that they–]
'I fucking know! How dare he jump to conclusions without getting the facts straight, that old lady is still breathing!!' Hisha barked, disheartened that Melody's little moment would still end almost the same way she had died the previous time.
[25:03:57]
These words had an euphoric effect on all guards present at the moment as they dropped their weapons and began to unbutton their pants.
Pop!
Melody dropped to the ground with a thud, struggling to get to her feet.
[Do not cut off my connection!] Hisha warned as he stared at the visual interface, needing the right time to lend her a part of his Sux.
Using her elbow to push her up, she winced in pain and took in a breath of fresh air, a silent laughter resonating off of her.
It almost felt as though she was slowly losing her senses at the sight of all guards either half-naked or fully naked.
[23:10:08]
Clicking her tongue, she didn't bother pushing the hair off her face as she stared at the guards who she could see approach slowly.
"We promise to make this as pleasurable as possible, and as gentle as we can go." One of them spoke out with a creepy grin.
If this was a way for them to get a chance to mate with anyone, they were sure to take the opportunity with such a vulnerable and beautiful mermaid.
Managing to slouch while sitting up, she had her palms spread out as a way of keeping herself upright.
'You're all going to regret doing anything!' Melody sneered and smirked as she felt a hand grab onto her wrist.
Making a move to pull her, the guard was shocked by the sheer strength she possessed when she didn't budge and still held her position.
Raising her head so she locked eyes with the guard, her eyes glowed and so did his and he let go almost immediately.
The others couldn't care less about what had transpired and one of the guards covered her eyes with a cloth. "You wouldn't get on our nerves twice!"
'It's about time I intervened and this time make them aware of their cruelty and stupidity!' Hisha smirked with his head leaning on his palm after getting a temporary solution for Melody's delicate condition.
The rest held onto her legs, forcing them open, the sounds of lustful cackles could be heard when they ripped off her panties.
[Let them experience what could come with a new experience, bite down on your tongue] Hisha smirked as he conveyed his plans.
Melody stilled as she stopped struggling, and proceeded to do the very action she had been ordered to.
An ear-piercing scream was heard as blood trailed from the corner of her lips.
For a second, all guards stopped in their actions, but had their lust cloud their judgment, and couldn't care less what state she was in.
"As long as there's a hole, there's a way!" A guard cackled and nodded to the very one who had nestled in between Melody's thighs.
Feeling the tip of a guard's cock at her entrance, she trembled but couldn't speak even if she wanted to.
Her mouth was made into an 'o' as he thrust in with balls deep into her folds, having blood over his chest as some escaped her mouth.
Hisha let out a sinister laugh at the scene, snapping his fingers. 'Let's spice this up, shall we?'
