Chapter 124 - 124: The Other World [Part 2]. (1/2)

'I can't breath!!!'

Gray's eyes grew redder, he placed his hands on his throat trying to get air in.

His heart's pounding grew faster whilst his eyes bulged out. Instead of properly breathing, he could only gasp for air, his body was functioning differently from normal.

Was it because of the teleportation? Or was the air in this world simply unbreathable? Gray wasn't sure.

'System...! What's happening!?'

[The body has not yet adjusted to the dimensional loop. Although the air is breathable, the body is simply reacting negatively to the sudden change.]

[You are simply not breathing. You must force yourself to breathe.]

Before his consciousness could drift, he began slamming his closed hand at his chest as he realised all he was doing was exhaling.

He needed to inhale.

'Breath damn it!!!' He shouted inwardly.

*WHAM!*

Gray gasped once more, but this time he managed to do it.

Before his consciousness could give out, he was able to inhale in a substantial amount of air.

*Cough* *Cough*

[Breathing successful.]

Gray coughed out, the little air he had in him before inhaling a large portion again.

Relief rushed through his body as he barely avoided death.

”That was way too clos-”

The silver-haired girl in front of Gray was also gasping for air as she suddenly got up, giving Gray a shaken look.

As she placed her hands over her neck, her golden irises gazed left and right in surprise.

When her eyes landed on Gray, she tried to call him extended her arm out towards him as if pleading for help.

”Breathe! Do whatever you can to inhale!” Said Gray.

Visibly confused, her eyes began to roll back as her consciousness began to fade.

Her arm suddenly dropped, and so was she - But at that moment.

Gray suddenly grabbed her arm, and pulled her in closer.

Before she could react their lips intertwined.

Gray wrapped his arm around her back, preventing her from moving away and falling.

While she was in this position, he began to blow air into her mouth.

Her expression softened for a moment. However, that was only for a split second before she pulled away and began coughing.

*Cough* *Cough* *Cough*

”Thank... Thanks...” She muttered before taking in a deep breath.

”No prob-”

Gray's eyes widened, he felt a chill go down his spine as through the corner of his eyes, he saw it.

A giant fanged mouth, lunging towards them.

[Pause Step]

Their figures vanished, the tree which they had been standing on was torn away by a large monster in the very same instant.

In the air just above said tree, Gray got a clear look at what it was.

A giant, long scaly white cobra slithering through the trees. It's length seemed to be over 10 meters long, as it kept itself hidden beneath the trees.

Before it could notice, and he could drop back down, Gray paused the air beneath his feet, creating a platform for him and the girl to stand on.
