21 The Courage to Listen a Story (1/2)
Rin then glared at Elihim.
Elihim defended himself, wacing his hands in front, ”Come on, come on, you won't touch a God.”, his eyes narrowed, ”Well, I mean, not that you can anyway.”
Rin gave up, sighed and dropped the metal pipe. ”I know that…”, Rin said calmly, maitaining his eye contact to Elihim.
”Hmmm, good that you know. I thought you're not going to be able to control your emotions and stupidly attack a God.”, Elijim couldn't contain something any longer but he had to wait, ”So… How did it felt?”
Elihim asked a vague question but Rin know the answer already without asking any further, he looked at his hand that held the metal pipe and said, ”I felt good, it is refreshing.”, he gently smiled.
”Hahahah, great! Great! You are truly the only one that could follow me!”, Elihim celebrated.
Rin tilted his head in confusion.
”You are perfect!”, Elihim pointed at him, he was really overjoyed by this that he is staying out of his character.
Rin clicked his tongue and thought, 'Perfect? How? What is this man trying to say? Maybe he's mocking me. Yeah that must be it. Then again, it's not like I can do anything about it.'
”Oohhh, I'm in no way mocking you. No, no!”, Elihim waved his fingers while his chin lifted, his voice lowered as he crouched and looked at Rin in the eyes, ”Think about this… you can't die. Death is the main limiter of a human being. A man that can't die can longer be called a man but you… your immortality is absolute.”
Rin remembered something like that as well, [Absolute]. His contract is said to be absolute and so it means his deathless body would be too.
”Wait, the best part is yet to come.”, Elihim grew excitedly, ”How do you think you defeated those men with your pitiable body, huh?”, he pointed at the thugs that were lying unconscious.
Like a lightning flash into his mind, he just now realized it too. Even if they are already tired from beating him. How could he, the one that was being beaten, have more strength than them and actually beat them into their state?
”If you can't think of any reason then let me tell you. You're body had been sucked to the point that you no longer have energy to spare for your brain to work. That would mean death but remember that the contract is absolute! Which means it needs an alternative energy to use.”, Elihim stood up, enjoying the pleasure of explaining, ”But what other alternative energy is there? Well, other living things have energy but that is called eating. The other way is the natural energy!”, Elihim spread his arms high.
”Natural energy?”
Elihim nodded.
”What's that?”, Rin was intrigued. It is normal for humans to be curious of something like that.
”Hehehe, I can't tell you about that though.”, Elihim stuck out his tongue.
