Chapter 74 You did well
74 You did well
But the cat's eyes widened and then soon the cat laughed, "Hahah.... well done human" The cat appreciated Eli's efforts to break the chains that hold the cat.
'ting'
'ting'
'ting'
'ting'
'tttttrrrrrrr'
Without much effort, the chains broke off easily as if the creator saying 'Who in the right mind to break the chains of the dangerous monster?' and due to the chain breaking, the barrier itself disappeared.
"The chains must be created especially for that cat" Eli muttered as he felt the chains were easily broken, "...or is it broken because I used the arts?" Eli didn't know whether it broke due to the water elements or something else but it is not the right time as the Boss Cat slowly purred its body and said,
"After a long time, someone freed me...ahahah"
Eli didn't care about its freedom,
"Ocean Arts: 2nd Form"
Eli's eyes turned ocean blue and his body was covered with water then he leapt towards the boss cat, he used full force and tried to finish it single attack.
"Oh, Oh" but the cat acted carefreely, and when Celestria touched the neck of the cat.
'TTTIINNNGGGG'
'SSSSSOOOWOWWWWHHHHHHH'
Eli felt the cat's neck was hard steel and the whole Celestria vibrated due to the impact while the waves of impact travelled throughout the cave as waves of water elements destroyed the ghostcats....leaving these two only.
"Are you done?" The cat asked nonchalantly and fired the blue ball.
'shoosh'
Even before Eli could react and due to being near the cat, the blue ball hit his sternum as fell and rolled back.
'cough'
'cough'
Eli coughed more blood due to the sudden impact on the sternum. He tried to stand up but,
"Not happening" The cat suddenly came near him and stomped on his chest.
'Boom'
Well, that's what the cat planned but Eli threw the Ember to the side as it stuck on the wall and then he pulled as his body slid to the side.
The place where the blue ball hit was burning inside and outside and Eli could see his blood flowing in dark colour.
"Hmmm...You really are great but if you are a little more strong, you may have a chance to kill me" The cat pondered a bit and then glanced at Eli who stood up with pain.
"Hey" The cat called.
"...." Eli didn't say anything as his eyes started to shake.
"Why don't we make a deal?" The cat didn't care about anything and asked carefreely.
"Hmm?" Eli tried to focus.
Getting his attention, the cat continued, "I will let you live and in exchange why do you become my slave....you are good warrior" The cat tried to praise him.
'spat'
Eli spat blood in his mouth and ran towards the cat.
"sigh, not a good listener.." The cat muttered as it shook its head and fired the blue ball at him.
'sshh'
Eli fired a water bullet at the blue ball....Even so, it is only distorted not destroyed but that's what Eli wanted.
When it distorted, it passed through Eli.
The cat raised its eyebrows and when Eli was about to slash its neck.
'sigh' The cat sighed and thought, 'No matter how many times, you cannot cut my body'.
But,
'chck'
Blood started to flow from Eli's eyes, ears, and nose, Eli used the remaining water which was from the mana vision of his half-body to fix the limbs of the cat on the floor, and then he used Celestria to cut its neck but,
'cchkkk'
the cat didn't think that he used Ember to pierce its left eye.
"AARRRRR"
Due to that, The cat's left eye was pierced, with blue-coloured blood flowing from it. The cat screamed in sudden pain without wasting time, the tail which was smaller earlier, now elongated and pierced Eli's stomach.
'cough'
Eli coughed the blood as the weapons on his hand loosened. His eyes returned to normal.
Blood flowed from everywhere in Eli's body.
"..." The cat shouting something but Eli couldn't hear anything and his eyes were hazy.
'Maybe....I am going to die...This is what I wished for the past 3 years....' Eli thought and smiled inwardly, 'It's....not bad...I tried my best....I think....I will be with...you soon...dear'.
The cat opened its mouth as it was about to eat Eli. Eli soon sealed his fate.
Feeling his end coming near....Eli slowly closed his eyes and remembered a beautiful woman walking along with him in the mountain which was filled with different kinds of flowers.
Her smiling face will always be etched on his memory, 'I always lov...'.
Everything slowly turned dark black as Eli was about sleep when he suddenly,
/
"~Darling~"
"Hmmm?"
"It's been three months since we married...."
"Yes..."
"...I wonder, do you...love m-me now?"
"...."
"...."
"...g-give me some time"
"It's ok Darling...I will always love you"
"...."
"No matter where you go, I will always follow you to the end, Darling~"
/ n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
A voice that shook Eli's entire core, she who forced him to open his closed broken heart to her, Eli who was ready to rest suddenly remembered a woman with dishevelled golden hair and red teary blue iris eyes with dark circles crying infinitely at his grave as her life slowly leaving her.
'No, No, No, No...not again...'
Eli's entire body trembled in fear.
The thought of her not calling him '~Darling~' anymore and dying along with him, scared him more than the death he was about to face.
"NNNNOOOO!"
Eli shouted as he powerful water bullet at the Cat's mouth which was opened to eat him.
'splash'
'thud'
Of the sudden attack, Cat threw Eli at the wall as it trembled and wriggled on the ground while screaming.
"AAAAHHHHHHH!"
Eli with trembling hands took the final healing potion and drank it. He didn't know he used water bullets without activating the technique.
Soon, He started to heal slowly, but the hole in his stomach didn't close fully.
"Haha....I-I am sorry...Lilith, making you cry....." Eli said with a sad smile.
"I realized...How important you are to me, I will not die....we are just starting our story..." Eli said solemnly and added,
"and it's about time, I move forward....."
Eli slowly stood up with the help of Celestria and looked at the monster who was about to come to its sense.
"I haven't used this before, but....There are no options and for some reason, I think I will be fine, is it related to the dungeon or...." Eli thought from the very moment he entered this dungeon, he always felt something supporting him but he soon shrugged it off.
Eli closed his eyes and said,
/MANA BREATHING/
"Ocean Arts:....3rd Form"
'Deep Inhale'
'crack'
Mana around the dungeon started to flow toward Eli as cracks started to appear in the cave.
Sensing danger, the cat stood up in pain and ran towards Eli because of the water inside its body, it can't fire the blue balls.
"I understand" Eli muttered and slowly opened his sapphire blue eyes, his hair turned bluish-white and slightly water-type armour slowly appeared on his entire body and glowed which started to heal his body at a rapid rate.
"Heed my call, My Loyal Servant....It is my well that creates your soul and body, Plunged in a sea of death, The origin of life...Come forth....." Eli said in authority tone, devoid of emotions.
The cat monster suddenly felt a chill running through his spine as it stopped his track and 'something big coming' with that thought, it started to beg,
"I am sorr..."
"MEGALODON" Eli called his servant.
Under the cat, large teeth appeared and it looked like a big shark jaw made of pure water from the ground and closed the jaw as it bit the cat and like that, it pulled the cat into the ground.[A/N: I don't how whether you guys understood or not (the way I explained) but I added a reference photo in this para comment...shark made of water, little boat is the cat and there is no water instead it is land]
09:36
The whole dungeon trembled few seconds and soon it stopped as if nothing going to happen.
"...." But the cat knows something was approaching and soon,
'CCHHHHKKKK'
Under the cat, large teeth appeared and it looked like a big shark jaw made of pure water from the ground and closed the jaw as it bit the cat and like that, it pulled the cat into the ground.[A/N: I don't how whether you guys understood or not (the way I explained) but I added a reference photo in this para comment...shark made of water, little boat is the cat and there is no water instead it is land]
The cat only saw large teeth covering the whole area around it and then everything turned dark.
Soon,
/THE DUNGEON HAS BEEN CLEARED/
A mechanical voice sounded throughout the dungeon.
Eli slowly started to lose consciousness and like a spat, two things came from the ground.
Eli didn't say anything, he just fell forward as his body returned to normal.
But, he didn't fall to the ground.
"You did well" A familiar voice and smell he knows, as Eli fell on the two heavens while losing consciousness.
