Level of Madness

Part 2

Gore content

(Internal point of view: Spandel)

Angèle and I continue to advance to the depths of the hole where the accursed siren lands, so that we do not part, we hold our hands and we swim at the same speed because the sirens go from the sea creatures the faster from the oceans, almost no creatures manage to beat a mermaid to swim. She's so pretty, she makes me think of Helen when I look at her, but they have a difference, Angela is sweet, Helen is violent. She smiles while continuing to swim at my pace, then we begin to see bits of ruins deep in the hole, then there is something transparent that winds and waves in the water.

I remain suspicious.

Angèle pulls my arm to signal me to stay on my guard and not to approach too abruptly. But I feel it trembles when I feel another presence different but less threatening than that of the accursed siren ... hiding right under our feet. She is asleep so it is better to go on the attack while she is no longer conscious, I will not let Angèle be afraid any longer, and I have to save her people ... She is counting on me! Suddenly, a sound warns me, I catch Angèle by the waist and have it swim lower and happily ... because a strange person with a mermaid tail and a humanoid head but with tentacles as a beard and possessing a red trident has just attacked us. I have Angèle behind me to protect her.

- A human here? Angèle what is wrong with you, dare to befriend a human, which is very strange, you are really the most pathetic siren that is, and say that you are our princess! Exclaims the tentacle-bearded siren in a threatening tone.

Angèle is afraid, I feel it.

- But I have to save my kingdom, it's my duty as a mermaid princess, you should understand you too Orson! Angèle answers in a hopeless tone hoping he understands, but I feel in him a terrifying and despicable aura, this guy makes me feel uncomfortable. I see him wield his trident towards us by declaring himself

- What to do with the kingdom of mermaids? I could always build another once I bring them back to your body and the human's head, I mean ... the demon with you! I frown and tell Angèle to back off the time I give her a little lesson, I leave my little dagger and puts me in a fighting position, the power that Angèle passed on to me is really important unfortunately ... He does not I can not swim as fast as a mermaid, water is not my element and it is not as easy to fight under the water.

But I do not have a choice. Angèle believes in me, I prepare for the fight and this monster comes to attack me with his trident, I dodge but he is too fast, the blade of his trident come slashing my chest, I grunt at seeing my gauge of life down to 85/100, before brandishing my dagger and then with a graceful swim I plant my dagger in the shoulder of this monster, he growls in turn before giving me a nudge in my chest, my breath is cut while he drives me deeper into the water catching me by the throat

- Well tried kid! But under water, even a demon like you can not survive a demon like me! (He brandishes his trident above me) Farewell ... demon! He said to me with a smile, that smile ... this is not the first time I see him, I see this very tall man with his raven hair and his bangs falling into his eyes ice-cold incredibly bright blue and with that heart of key inked on his heart ... I could never forget this man. This man I hate. Suddenly, while Orson was going to slice my head, an arrow of light comes pierce him, blood trickles from his frightful mouth as I free myself, then in the distance I see Angèle hold a white bow decorated with gold with very sharp and bright arrows

- I'm covering you Spandel! Take the opportunity to kill the accursed mermaid! She cries, holding Orson away from me.

- Out of the question ! I'm going to fight with you, I've promised to help you. I replied, she gives me an insistent look.

Tears begin to flow down her cheeks as she continues to fight

- Please Spandel, do not make things any more difficult, I beg you I do not want misfortune to happen to you, so please do what I tell you! She implored me, I grit my teeth in front of her words, she does not want me to intervene while she may be killed. I turn my back to swim to the invisible tentacle unfortunately, the ground begins to shake heavily as a hole in the sand widens and I see the gaping mouth of the cursed siren, she woke up.

Suddenly, I see Orson violently pushing Angèle who is hurt, because I see her losing HP, she is now 70/100, I hurry to swim to her to come save her while the accursed siren is out of sand, when at Orson he ran away shouting that the cursed siren will take care of our case while he is now heading to the surface ... Helen! Others ! He must not find them because ... Alizé is not with them, I feel it!

(Internal point of view: Helen)

Alizé left us to fight further on the bridge, leaving us to go a little further, Kirron comes to help Rochelle and Jack with the help of Damian while Emily and I take care of Angel, Lucy and Maria, I still do not understand why these little ones are there with us, even if Angel had managed to get away from the monster in the castle, it does not say that this chance will happen again ... I do not I'm not reassured! And Spandel ... Where are you? Suddenly, I hear agitation in the water then it is then a humanoid with a mermaid's tail and a beard in octopus tentacle armed with a large red trident rise out of the water

- But what's that hideous thing? Grunting Kirron disgusted, I clench my teeth with rage knowing what it is

- It's a demon of the waters! Kirron then quickly felt the demonic energy emanating from this monster.

Suddenly he turns to us and glares at us

- Ahhh! More humans, but it will never end! He growls angrily before heading dangerously towards us, we put the children aside before we prepare for the fight.

- Who are you ? I cried as he prepared to attack. He introduces himself under the name of Orson: Orson the demon of the waters, level 40, classified in Easy Boss! but by adding that he does not have to talk to humans and that he is there to eliminate us. I frown, then it's me who tells me to fight in place of Kirron who was ready to fight.

- Ah ... plus it's a female who comes to fight against me! It will be so easy! And once I get rid of you, I'll take the little ones behind you and the other golden-haired female, and then I'll kill the stronger ones! He declares with a haughty air, in my turn I look down on him, unsheathing my dagger of yokai.

- I advise you not to underestimate me! You could lose your tentacles, with me the slightest mistake will be fatal so watch out, the walking octopus! I replied, cracking my wrists and neck. I hear him laugh as he screams for me to prepare for battle, but before that, I do not hesitate to ask him the question.

- Before I decide to put you in a piece ... Have you seen a black demon all shy who is under the ocean? This is my husband and I would like to know where he is! I see his eyebrows rise.

- Would you speak of the demon dressed all in black? (he sketches a sadistic smile) Well female, I regret to tell you that he is now between the teeth of the accursed siren and if as you say you are his female, I regret to announce you that I saw him in the company of an adorable mermaid, and they seemed very close!

I have a painful feeling in my heart, I have extreme confidence in Spandel, but ... to hear that he is in the company of another girl hurts me a little. I have teeth that he tightens with anger when he had the audacity to tell me

- You should drop, your husband will never come back to you! There this time is far too much, I creak the blade of my dagger and a darkness invades my heart while my eyes scarlet blood color start to shine.

- Very well, this time you really made me angry, I will make the pleasure of killing you slowly and make sure that you suffer as long as possible!

My bones begin to crack and then this man-mermaid octopus goes on the attack, playful I respond to his savage attack by planting my dagger between the blade of his trident to block his attack, but with force he succeeds in breaking the blade of my dagger then he catches me by the collar of my cape

- You are at my mercy, without weapons you can not beat you! I smiled amused before laughing in his face and forcefully I hit his ribs with my leg, he emits a cry of agony so exciting and spit blood spatter me in the face. I chuckle amused

- You bitch! He insulted me by trying not to think about the pain, he brandishes his trident again to try to get in, I dodge with agility except that one of the points comes to scratch my leg, I lose only "A miserable point of life but at the same time I managed to make a big cut with only my nails, I see him take a distance. His haughty air quickly decamps and his shoulders tremble.

I feel like I'm having fun with him!

It was then that his gaze turned to my friends behind me, their faces are all dark and a half-smile adorns their lips.

- Was he the one who said we were weak? Kirron asked almost haughty and amused.

- Yes, that's what I understood! Answer Emily, Rochelle, Jack and Damian nod like that, I smile at them before moving towards him dangerously, try him who tries to get up

- I told you not to underestimate me and that the slightest mistake would be fatal, you should have shown you considerate from the beginning ... (my red eyes shine more and my soul is dyed black) unlike you, I do not need weapons to kill! And my friends also would have put you in misery except ... that I am different! I said, crushing her throat under my feet.

He forces himself to breathe and tries to clear my feet from his throat.

- You different ... Do not make me laugh proud human! You are only an insignificant human! He cries with rage. I'm sketching a smile

- Do you really think I'm a human? (He is surprised) That's what I thought ... You're a low-floor demon since you do not have an LM, because only the weakest do not recognize those who can you overwrite. It is pathetic ! To eliminate it will take only a moment, you are too fragile ... What a pity, me who thought to have fun! I growled.

- Waits ! Wait, do not kill me! Your husband is still alive, I feel it, he will face the accursed siren, I could not do anything to him and I know where he is! I can help you ! I sigh bored of his whining, I advance my hand to the level of his mouth and under my will a black and purple energy emanates from my arm and instead of my hand, razor blades appear and come to pierce him inside mouth and spreading my fingers, his head is shredded leaving only one body of siren-man decapitated. I emit a frustrated groan while shaking my blades to get rid of the blood and then see my stats appear in front of me: Helen Scarsheld, 90% ML, 2300/3000 level! Then I see my heart a little cracked, I emit a sigh and then disappear my statistics.

That's when I feel a hand come to rest on my shoulder, then I see Rochelle trying to reassure me with a conscious smile before embracing me. Spandel, your presence, I can feel it ... I know you're alive!

(Internal point of view: Spandel)

The cursed siren has her head out of the sand, I can see this filthy thing now, she has a large globular eye in the middle of her face, hair in tentacles, and a sharp mouth, Angèle beckoning me from afar indicating that she will aim for the eye and that I had to prepare myself, I made him an "OK" and prepares me, unfortunately before the arrow can reach his eye, the accursed siren come out of his sand hole and all her body is revealed, she has a big red mermaid's tail covered with spiny scales, it looks almost like a dragon and she has big venous arms, I see her swim to Angèle who is quick to take flight

- I've got your back ! Catch her ! She cries to me in the distance as she swims very fast to escape the dangerous teeth of the creature, I hasten to swim towards the creature by trying to swim higher than it and when I see a fault, with the power of the water offered by Angèle, the sea surrounds me and offers me a real tail of black siren and a strange shield of water protects me from the poisonous smoke that emanates the accursed mermaid, I come back not.

But I do not have time to think!

I swim at high speed and just hang on to the skin of the accursed siren, and distinguish an eye placed on the back of his neck: The accursed siren, Level 60, ranked Difficult Boss! Thanks to my mermaid's tail and my arms, I crawl on the mermaid's skin and come to the nape of the neck, I cling firmly to the skin around the eye and with my dagger, I stab with all my strength the center of the eye. The monster utters a scream of agony as its eye is pierced, it flutters before it starts to rise to the surface, the cloud of poison has finished poisoning the water, but is still cloudy. 'elsewhere. I did not kill him the first time.

- Spandel, she's on the surface! We have to go ! Cries Angèle, I swam quickly to it that comes to the surface with me, we are now in a dark part of the ocean where is full of shipwreck under a cloudy sky.

Angèle and I swim to a wreck but before we can blow, a tentacle emerges out of the water and finally thrown Angela out of the water and landed on the top of the boat. His bow falls a few centimeters from my feet.

- Angèle ! I shouted running to save her, but a tentacle blocked my path and made me fall to the ground, out of the water the accursed siren rose in front of the remains of the boat and waving her tentacle hair, ready to attack. I keep my dagger in hand and at the same time recovers the bow of Angela, I never used a bow but it will be necessary that I arrive there. The mermaid strikes the boat with her arms to crush me, I put an arrow in the bow and it is then that my mark of lightning starts to shine and surrounds the arrow that I draw, this one Planting in the eye of the creature, the lightning strikes her and she hastens to plunge to the bottom of the ocean.

She goes to Angèle. Quickly I begin to levitate to go to his rescue and when that I see my dagger shine, and turn into a silver bayonet emanating a great power, would I in turn unlock my power? I hurry to get to the top and I find Angela fainted on the ground and in difficult situation, she is lacking air, I must quickly put it back in the water before she dies.

But before I have to get rid of the accursed mermaid !

Here she is screaming with anger and waving her tentacles, I hurry away Angèle from the grip of this creature, I draw the bow of Angèle and aim in the eye of the accursed siren screaming in pain and s' collapse on the ground, I run to the creature and then with my bayonet of money filled with the energy of the lightning and with this power of the lightning, the eye explodes and at last blow, I cut off its head. Causing the improvement of my statistics: The accursed mermaid Defeated, 2000/3000! My level has increased and in addition I accomplished the mission given by Alizé, she will be happy.

- Spandel ... Angèle whispers exhausted, immediately I launched it into the water that became clear again and the sky clear. The water invigorates her and I saw her come back to the surface to come and kiss me on the cheek.

I blush a lot!

This girl is amazing but, Helen's face remains in my mind, all the moments we spent together, but also the best moment of my life ...

Flashback

I'm sitting alone in the kitchen playing with Pinel, jealousy a little Pandore and Damian waiting for their first children, I too would dream to be Daddy too, but I'm not sure Helen would agree, she would not I do not like children too much ... Suddenly I saw her come home with her cloak on her again while we're in the middle of summer

- Hi darling ... You still wear this horrible cloak? You're not hot in there? I asked her, she sends me a smile then she suddenly changes the subject

- Tell me my love, why are you doing the head? You are having a fit of jealousy, what is it?

- No there is nothing ... I just saw Pandore and Damian today! I admit by burying my face in my arms. I hear Helen sigh and then she rubs my shoulders.

- Ohhh if it's just that ... Turn to me!

I turn then she comes to take my hand to put on his stomach while sketching a smile.

- Tell me, do you feel something? She asked me, I felt a little movement in her belly, I opened my eyes in surprise and then blushed deeply

- That is true... ? Can I stammer, then she acquiesce in revealing me rounded belly pregnant woman 5 months. I felt an immense happiness that I had not felt for so long that I threw myself on her, pressing her belly against me. Helen laughs and then strokes my hair

- We are waiting for twins! She told me, I still felt more joy in me and throughout the pregnancy, I remained the ear stuck to the belly of Helen and wait for the birth of our two little boys adored: Alvis and Sparrow!

End of Flashback

Helen is my wife, and I can not leave her for another woman, so I take the hand of Angèle who thanks me for helping her save her people and the ocean

- Angèle ... Even if I like you a lot, I .. I can not stay near you and I'm sorry but ... I have a wife, and two children waiting for me and ... All my life I dream of this and I can not give up everything, I'm sorry but I hope you will find your happiness anyway and I wish you all the happiness of the world! I must admit, she then shook my hand

- I had understood Spandel, I saw you with your friends in the company of Alizé when you were in the underwater city so do not worry about me, life your life be happy too, and especially careful okay? She told me.

I smiled at her and then saw the power of the water leave me a drop-shaped mark on my thigh then Angela told me that now the sea is by my side and that the ocean goddess will pray on me and will always there to protect me from dangers on earth as in heaven.

Water is now my ally, as well as marine animals !

(Internal point of view: Damian)

What happened before our eyes surprised us, the cursed siren struggling and collapsing on the wreck of a boat before disappearing and in the distance we see a giant shadow swim towards us, and on his back, Spandel bringing back the siren's head we're making big sign

- Spandel ! We all call him with a smile, we knew that Spandel would not be shot so easily, and when he arrives on deck, we jump on him to come hug him. Then Spandel sees Helen at a distance crossing her arms without a smile, Spandel understands that she is aware of her adventure with the mermaid and yet ... he came back. He walks up to her without a single word, too frightened by Helen's reaction. But before he starts to explain, Helen wraps his arm around his throat to lower him to her level and then hug him firmly

- Don't do that again okay ?

Spandel then hugged him, promising not to scare him like that anymore, and of course he nibbled his neck slightly to show him his affection. I always said he was great together, and Pandora had never wanted to believe me until these two decided to get married and started a family. Suddenly, I feel a presence close to ours, then turning around I thought I saw a small black shadow with a purple eye to fix me before disappearing, she was very small, the size of a doll.

- Well, you did not make much progress during my absence! Suddenly declares the voice of Alizé behind us, and indeed she is there, she has only a few wounds and her eyes are tired, we also note that she has lost a lot of PV ( HP and PV are the same thing ), she is now 60/100 and her clothes are a little torn.

- Huh ... everything okay? Rochelle still exhausted from her fight, Alizé chuckles as she pulls the dust off her shoulder and pulls out a cloth to clean her sword full of blood

- Let's say that I had fun, I did not expect less from her, but again ... I'm the winner! She declares, there a thrill through our backs

- Did you kill her? I asked her, she turned to me and smiled at me

- How could I do it? She is precious to me my rival ... Without her I lost my fun! Go on the way ... Someone is eager to meet you Damian and she is at the other end of her bridge after the cliffs there! She replied.

I sigh and look on the horizon, it is true that on the other side of the bridge, I see something that scares me a little ... The sky in the distance is a dark orange with black clouds emanating from will be diabolical and sickly, and from there I hear lamentations ...

These laments call me …

(No point of view)

Naru is lying on the stone bridge with a serious belly wound, she is still alive and looks at the sky holding a revolver to the sky

- "laugh" You will never change Alizé, you have always been like that since I know you, I just hope that for the moment you will continue to grow stronger and your little protected but when I think about it, I still think it's crazy ... How come your sister is here ... Helen Scarsheld is alive in this world? Incredible ... The two demonic sisters both? The world will really be plunged into total chaos, it's going to be a great spectacle between the darkness and the small forces of light, but I believe in you ... And especially you, little Damian Hart . Soon ... The Prince of Twilight will wake up again! Ahhhh ... what happiness! She exclaims.

Meanwhile...

As the group continues to advance, all fall to the ground and Alizé turn to them surprise, they are all hungry and no longer the strength to move, their stomach grunts claiming food, which has had the gift exasperated Alizé, which prevented him from feeling the presence of this little person in the heights, watching them attentively and waiting for the perfect moment to make his appearance.
