Chapter 71 Just a Cat
71 Just a Cat
'From the moment, my Physical attack didn't work on it. I created a pit under my leg in order to trap it in a definite position but when I saw that it was scared of water, I suddenly filled the hole with water...and how I gathered so much water within a few seconds because under the land everything was moisture...almost looked like we are under the tunnel surrounded by water.
I thought of using it directly but I decided to go with this safe plane because I still don't know anything about the monster and it is an intelligent being, so there is a possibility that it could hide something....
and just like I thought it did hide his trick' Eli thought as he looked at the Cat like a shaped monster with two antennas on its head and a blue crack on its body, was wriggling in the water pit that Eli made.
'...' n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
And slowly it died in the water and floated on the water.
Still, Eli doubted so he pierced it with Celestria and dark blue blood bled.
Eli then pulled it outside and scanned its body for anything else then finally pulled out the Soul Crystal and looked at it few seconds and then put it in storage.
"Sigh, Thank goodness I made the pit" Eli sighed in relief.
"This is the original body and what I fought is nothing but an illusion....and original always behind it.....talk about my idiocy" Eli facepalmed himself.
Because it disappeared from mid-air and appeared on the land, Eli thought if it used teleportation but then he would already lose one or two limbs....so the only possibility is Illusion Magic which this monster must have used and hidden in the darkness.
"I should have used Flames to light up this area....sigh my back is burning like fire" Eli sighed while rubbing his back while lamenting about his incompetence.
Eli then used his flame art and rubbed it on its back to avoid any infection and bleeding.
Even though his flesh was burned, he didn't feel any pain as if he was used to this.
"hmm...what about the blue light ball then..." He thought as he looked at his leg only to the point where it hit completely turned dark blue colour and when he touched it, he didn't feel anything.
"...." Eli frowned and tried to pinch the affected area....still he didn't feel any pain.
Eli then tried to touch the surrounding area and now he could feel the touch, "I guess, It is not an illusion...." with that thought, Eli used Ember to make a slight cut on the affected area.
Red blood flowed, "sigh" he sighed in relief but when he cut he didn't even feel the cut and he finally realized, "If the monster hit at the affected area, then without knowing I lose my blood and soon fall into a dizzy state, then pass out during the battle....talk about the perfect plan"
Then used his flame and stopped the bleeding.
"I don't why but I am starting to feel more power when I used the Ocean Arts....maybe because I am surrounded by water elements....sig..." Eli sighed.
Eli felt he sighing so much.
"Should I use the Healing potion?" Eli pondered whether to use the healing position he brought but,
"No, Not now there is a possibility that I could face someone dangerous"
"Anyway, I don't think this is the only monster here" Eli said as he looked at the inside and sensed his surrounding.
"....Nothing?" Eli doubted then he created a fireball and threw it.
"...." Now he could see the same monster hiding a few meters away like a tiger waiting for its prey.
"I see now....because that Illusion failed, they decided to hide...ah...they certainly intelligent" Eli mumbled and readied himself.
"I got at Most 30 Seconds....Let's try to finish this before" Eli encouraged himself.
"Ocean Arts: 2 Form"
His eyes turned Ocean blue colour and Mana swirled around him then entered his body and Eli could sense water around him within 1 KM.
"Weird, I can sense every water drop and...I slowly started to understand its composition..." Eli muttered but soon he focused on the matters in front of him.
With a smile, Eli ran towards the group of Monsters while using only Celestria.
'...'
He didn't do anything else, his whole body was covered in water, so he slide through them and slashed his weapon as waves of water created.
'....'
'....'
'....'
For every slash, Water particles around him created sharp water waves as they cut the monster's head like a knife cutting butter.
Whenever they fired their blue ball, water around Eli vapoured without letting it touch Eli.
Seeing their idea didn't work and their brethren die without fighting, they started to flee.
"Do you think you can escape?" Eli shouted whether heard or not, they started to run faster after he shouted.
Eli swung the Ember which was now fully covered with water, even the chains covered with fine water particles.
'.....'
With a single swing, everyone's head and body cut down as they slowly fell onto the land.
Feeling no moments, Eli changed the technique,
"Flame Arts: 1st Form"
and shoot the fireball in every direction....seeing nothing. He relaxed a bit.
'Deep Exhale'
~pant~
~pant~
"I-I ~pant~ killed them within 30 seconds...way to go me" Eli congratulated himself and rested before collecting their Soul Crystal.
.....
After that, Eli walked inside while throwing a fireball every 1 minute because he was on a narrow path because there won't be anyone from the sides.
Soon he could see a light at the end of this path.
He hurriedly walked towards the light while still keeping his alert.
He reached the end and walked out of it....only to see a door.
Eli was flabbergasted, he didn't move anywhere as he only looked at the Blue colour door which illuminated brightly.
Even though he came out from a narrow path but now he didn't have any side walls only the door stood proudly in front of him.
"I-I...." Eli tried to control his anger but unfortunately, he couldn't now as he punched the ground while falling onto his knees because this door was where he entered the prison.
"..." Eli looked lowered his head and muttered, "I know, I know, I know....".
Then He looked up and said with a defeated look, "I know, I shouldn't hope for anything....b-b-but..." Eli lamented himself.
This was his first time raiding a dungeon so he felt lost after doing so much but soon,
'Deep breath'
"There is no point worrying.....I only had a piece of incomplete information, so..." Eli tried to focus his thoughts.
"I did everything to come here....I can't go with empty hands...."
"Should I go inside again..?" Eli thought about returning the way he came.
Eli turned around and was about walk inside but he suddenly stopped and his eyes widened suddenly as he muttered,
"Illusion?"
