The Forgotten Tower - III

Nikolai wasn't concerned about what Amphitrite claimed.

Once they discovered a body suitable for his mother, he would kill her. His eyes flicked across the destroyed tunnel as they moved through the fifteenth floor, searching for the passage which led into the hidden parts of the tower.

"Come on~ why are you so stiff?" 

"Because I hate you, get away from me." He pushed the mermaid away with a low grunt before walking ahead. 

"It's not that way~ dear—"

Shling!

The mermaid's voice cracked as she froze on the spot, black claws tainted by the evil god's blood pressing against her soft throat.

"Make yourself useful, I am not your toy to manipulate." 

He refused to be taken into her pace.

After being tricked by Alucard, he learned to protect himself and read people better. Even if the mermaid claimed to have become his husband. Nikolai had no desire to follow such a thing.
