Mermaid Demon Mermaid

Immobilize the Wicked Witch

"Miriam. So your name is Miriam?" max touched the girl's hand. "May you survive."

At the bottom of the sea, Hades at full speed swam to the mermaid kingdom. After almost a little more until, he was exhausted on the road. "Miriam, my goodness. I'm tired." He had to stop for a moment.

"Hades what are you doing here?"

Hades. Her tears fell. "Dad ...." Pearl granules came back out from the man's eyes and flew away carried by the current.

"What's wrong? Is Miriam already ...."

Hades nodded.

The middle-aged mermaid thought while tidying up her beard. "The problem is that this does not happen at night but in the morning. Even though tonight is a full moon, the perfect time to conquer it but Miriam's soul will not be able to survive until then. In a few hours he'll be perfect for the Witch and we can't save him anymore.

"Dad, please Miriam. I beg you." Hades bowed at his father's feet.

"Even when Miriam comes back to life, she'll never choose you?"

"My heart can't see him suffer, even though he won't choose me. I beg you, Father." Hades is still prostrating.

"I've read about it in other magic potion books. It says, 'only the tears of sincere prayer from the well to the well will save him.' The book is notoriously complicated. I don't know what that sentence means. We have to parse that sentence but we don't have much time to do it other than work on it."

Hades raised his head. "Whatever, please help me, Dad."

"alright. Help me gather the troops."

------------+++----------

They came to the abode of the most feared creature on the seabed. He was feared not because of his horror, but because those who had been there, could never successfully carry out his mission until his soul was taken away by the witch, but still, he said, someone came to ask for his help.

The cave had been surrounded by an army of mermaids carrying spears as well as the royal Witches. The king, Hades' father led the army and Hades was behind the army. Known, the sea serpent demon was changing its skin until it was easy to attack it.

"Hey, sea serpent demon witch, come out! You've been surrounded by the underwater army of mermaids! Let go of our citizens or you'll attack us!" shouted the mermaid king from outside.

The snake demon was troubled by the commotion. He looked towards the wall where hung all sorts of demon souls he had taken today and only one demon soul was a mermaid, a red-haired mermaid.

The mermaid is the quietest. Unlike other demons he took that were very noisy to be released, the mermaid's soul just sat in the ball of life without doing anything. He seemed to have given up on what he was going to do.

"Please let me go" asked one of the crocodile's demon souls.

"Whisper!" snapped The demon witch. He then touched the sealed ball of life in front of him. This red-haired mermaid's soul, was it what the mermaid king asked for? So valuable is this one creature for the mermaid kingdom? The soul of a young mermaid who wasn't even pretty. What care?

"Hey, mermaid. What's your relationship with the mermaid king, huh?" The witch touched a ball that was only the size of her fist.

Miriam did not answer. He just sat quietly inside the ball.

Goddamnit! Because of this ugly mermaid I was attacked. I am not in a good position. Even if they can't beat me, they can hurt me. I'm changing my skin right now, and they can hurt me because I can't move around.

Thankfully, today is not night. If that happens, I could die. I hope they can't translate the other magic book or I will completely disappear from the face of this earth.

Justright. When the troops came they directly attacked the sea serpent Witch who was 4 times the height of them. They pricked the body of the snake that was struggling to change this skin.

"Agh! Goddamnit!" The witch complained in pain whenever a spear hit her body.

"Let's tell me where he is!" the mermaid king shouted, but the creature did not care so they were forced to find Miriam among the thousands of collections of life balls hanging on the top wall of the cave.

"Hades! Quickly find Miriam up there!" the Mermaid King's orders.

But finding Miriam was not difficult. He was the only demon with red hair that existed among those thousands of lifeballs.

Hades saw it. "Miriam!" loud shouting.

Miriam, who was sitting on her knees, raised her head. He was very upset with the voice of Hades. "Hades ...," he whispered slowly.

Hades swam closer. Miriam's soul that had entered into the ball of life, was only half the size of her original body. The mermaid touched the ball. He had no idea how to get Miriam out of that translucent ball of life. "Milgrand ...."

Meanwhile the Demon Witch was upset that she was attacked while she was in her weakest position. "Ouch! You are a nation of cowards, what? Attack when I can't retaliate!"

"Aren't you a loser because you can only fool weak and helpless creatures again" the Mermaid King replied.

Damn it, really shit! Though my skin change was still half over again and they cleverly attacked me. Patience, I need to be patient. Soon I'll change skin and they'll all be finished by me. The witch grinned coldly.

The mermaids still continued to pound the giant-sized witch. Stabbed him with the spear they were holding.

"Agh!"

"Tell me how to get that mermaid out of that ball. Release her!" shouted the Mermaid King, once again.

The witch simply laughed and echoed in the cave until all the creatures turned to her terrible laughter, including Hades who was touching the ball of life without being able to open it.

Hades turned back to the girl. "Miriam, are you okay?"

Miriam nodded her head.

"Miriam, don't worry. I'm gonna try to get you out of here. I promise."

Miriam shed tears. "Hades, you don't have to promise. You've helped me a lot but I always let you down. Your earnestness is enough for me, Hades. You can't help me anymore, I'm no longer helped."

"Miriam, don't say that, I won't. Be optimistic. I can definitely help me. If it turns out that I can't keep my promise, I'm willing to die as punishment for failing to help the one I love."

"Hades ...." Miriam is teary-eyed. He touched the wall of the ball of life that was greeted with Hades' hand behind it. Now he knew how much Hades loved him. Why did he not give the man a chance to approach him. Hades' love turned out to be sincere to her. "Hades, I'm sorry."

"No Miriam, you're not wrong. That witch is wrong. He uses people who are frustrated with their lives. Like you." Hades doesn't know what Miriam really meant.

Miriam's tears fell into pearls that gathered at the bottom of the ball of life, while Hades's tears fell into pearls at the bottom of the cave.
