Chapter 69: Cursed Creature (1/2)
Rex and Devan was shivering while looking at the murky water,
The water becomes a volcano in their eyes, something that they need to absolutely avoid.
The creature inside it is so scary, from the looks of it the creature only attacks if they disturb its peace.
”What should we do?”, Devan asks, his face is still pale from the incident before.
His chest heaved up and down in fatigue, 'He has telekinesis ability so he can probably lift the both of us to avoid the water but...', Rex thought before he looks at Devan.
'In his state, it's not possible unless...', Rex opened the system's shop and try to search for an elixir that can recover someone's mental power.
He scrolls in the shop before his eyes lock onto something,
< low-grade=”” mental=”” elixir=”” -=”” 100=”” gold=””>
Recover mental fatigue by a bit, it can be made by combining Ailaqloot and Pleasant water. it is useful for people with mental prowess.
After reading the description briefly,
Rex puts his hands inside his robe as if he's grabbing something, he takes out two Mental Elixir before he glances at Devan.
”Can you fly both of us? I got these to help you”, Rex said while holding two bottles of Elixir.
The Elixir is made of translucent glass, it has a spiral symbol on the side that is carved beautifully. The liquid inside of it is light grey in color, and it doesn't have a smell.
Devan turns his head, ”I probably can but I can't maintain it for long”, he then looks at the Elixirs with a questioning look.
”It is an Elixir to recover your mental power, with these you can take us at least there”, Rex points towards a direction where they can walk on the ground again, about 100 meters away from them.
Devan takes the elixirs with care, ”There's such thing as this elixir? I never knew about it”
Hearing this, Rex was ransacking his brain trying to find an answer, ”*Ekhm* It's classified so please don't tell anyone”
Devan nodded his head with shining eyes,
He then inhales slowly before exhaling slowly to stabilize his breathing, he musters his telekinesis power wrapping both him and Rex.
Rex felt something enveloping his body, he let it covers his body before his feet started to lifts off the ground.
Devan scrunched his forehead, he's trying his best to stabilize both of them.
Slowly but surely, both of them started to fly away leaving the tree behind. It takes quite a toll on Devan to fly, especially adding Rex's into it.
If it's just him then it's probably not this hard,
They levitated on the air slowly passing meters by meters,
Rex is looking to the ground with extreme caution, he doesn't want to get suddenly bitten off as the blue Haltija did.
While they are slowly leaving the murky river, suddenly a figure slowly appeared from the water.
The figure is jet black and it is very big, bigger than any creature Rex has ever seen.
It slowly emerges out of the water, there is no sound coming out of it as if it's just a frog coming out of the water.
Even Rex who is cautiously looking down didn't realize the figure behind it, the figure got closer and closer towards Rex and Devan. It is only a couple of inches away from Rex and Devan.
Rex and Devan didn't notice anything when suddenly,
Breeze...
They felt something blowing coming out of their backs, there is subtle breathing behind them and they felt it clearly.
The both of them were stunned, they are frozen on the spot.
Their eyes widened in fright, they can finally feel the figure's presence behind him. They felt the gaze of something behind them.
Rex and Devan look at each other, they then look to their back together.
Just as they are turning their bodies, they are frightened shitless when the corner of their eyes saw the figure behind it.
Their body started to tremble, that tremble comes from pure shock!
The creature behind them is the same creature they met underwater, it is black in color and its body emerges on the water all the way to the same level as them who is mid-air!
It is a snake-like creature with glowing green eyes, it is very huge at least as wide as a house and as long as a normal train! Its body is black covered with black scale, there is a black substance coming out of its body.
The murkiness of the water turns out to come from the black substance!
The creature is so big that even the black substance coming out of its body turned the water murky, it is simply shocking in size!
Meanwhile,
Rosie is chilling on her bed, she can't go to sleep for some reason, 'Why am I feeling uneasy? I hope Rex is okay', she thought before she decided to leave her room.
She left the room with going to the rooftop in mind,
She walks leisurely while playing with her phone, the university is quiet because it's already past midnight right now.
Just as she was reading the latest news, she suddenly bumped into someone.
Bump!!
”Ah!”, she screamed as she fell to the ground.
She already readied her butt to land on the ground when suddenly, a hand wrap around her waist preventing her from falling.
Rosie looks at the guy who is wrapping his hands around her, they both locked gaze for a second.
The guy looks dazed as he gazes at Rosie, they held eye contact before Rosie breaks it off.
She tidied up her clothes before saying, ”I'm sorry”
The guy in front of them then smiles faintly, ”It's okay, I'm at fault here”
After apologizing, Rosie can finally look at the guy properly.
The guy has red messy hair that looks perfect on him, his eyes are burning red with a red tattoo peeking out of his collar. He is good-looking, to say the least, and there is a charismatic attraction in his eyes.
Rosie nodded her head before she went past the guy but suddenly,
Grab!
”Yes?”, Rosie asks meekly.
The guy zoned out for a while before he snapped out his daze and asks, ”May I know your name?”
Rosie blushed a little, ”It's Rosie”
”Rosie huh? What a beautiful name for a beautiful girl like you”, he said teasingly, his smiles are bright and confident making Rosie felt uncomfortable.
