Chapter 44：Death (2/2)

Alex turned to look at the thing sticking from its back. 'So that was a sword handle huh.' He thought.

He walked up to the back of the cat and tried to pull the sword off. But it was too heavily stuck in there, and he didn't have the strength to pull it.

He tried a few more times, but it was fruitless. He was about to give up when he thought of something. He looked towards the cat and said, ”I am about to try something different. If it works the sword will leave your body, are you ready?”

”Yes,” the cat said.

Alex looked at the handle and grabbed it. However, instead of pulling it this time, he just closed his eyes. His Qi started flowing around the surface of the sword. He felt some resistance from the remnant Qi of whoever owned the sword, but without someone to guide it, the Qi simply disappeared.

Whoosh.

MEOW

The cat purred loudly. The little kitten was scared for a moment but returned to nudging its mother. The cat slowly licked the little kitten as Alex heard it speak in its mind.

”Thank You,” its tongue had stopped licking its child. The cat was dead.

This was the first time Alex felt horrible for seeing a notification appear.

”Meow?” the little kitten nudged its mother a little more but there was no response. ”Meow! Meow!” it kept calling its mother to lick him some more, but Alex knew there was no way the cat was going to do anything anymore.

Tears started welling up in his eyes as he was saddened by the little kitten's cries.

*Cough*

Suddenly, he vomited some more blood and got lightheaded. He couldn't keep standing anymore and fell down hard onto the ground.

”Meow?” the little kitten saw him fall down and walked up to him.

Alex's mind was starting to get hazy as he couldn't tell what was going on outside. He saw a vague silhouette of the little kitten come up to him. He thought he felt something on his forehead, but wasn't sure if it was the little kitten or just his pain.

Suddenly, white light shined bright in front of him. He closed his eyes as the light was too much for him to look at. He heard a bunch of notifications pop up, but he wasn't in the state to read them at all.

Once the light died down, he opened his eyes once more. The little kitten was there no more.
