Pick Me Up!

Chapter 145: Turmoil (2) (2)

One side of the cavity was breached, revealing the head of a water dragon.

Seawater began to fill the cavity.

The water dragons massive mouth approached as if to swallow me.

Simultaneously, a crystal golem rushed towards me.

I lifted my sword.

Just once.

I stepped forward.

The ground caved in and then cracked like a spiderweb.

I gripped the sword with both hands.

My grip was so tight that my hands bled.

Durability was unnecessary.

Stamina was unnecessary.

All I need is a single moment of explosion.

Kraaaaaaaah!

The water dragon opened its mouth wide.

I moved my hand.

Every organ in my body rallied its strength to its limits for a single devastating strike.

I didnt think about what would come next. 100%, 200%, 300%. Even beyond.

I put my soul into this ultimate strike.

[Han() has fallen into a critical state. His life is in danger!]

Crack.

Every bone in my body shattered.

All the veins in my body burst.

My vision turned as red as blood.

[Skill Awakening!]

[Hero Han()s Heavenly Sword Spirit and Power Strike have combined to create a new skill!]

[Han() has acquired Soulblade Fusion(Lv.1).]

I swung my sword sideways.

Following the trajectory of my sword, my blood slowly scattered, and the blade collided with the creatures teeth.

[Skill, Soulblade Fusion activated!]

[Divine Protection of the Water God ignored!]

The great sword pierced through the teeth, scales, outer skin, entrails, and shattered the brain.

The body of the water dragon, tens of meters long, was split in half with a single strike. Then the golem behind it was hit. As the sword hit the golems transparent surface, blue flames sparked.

Crack!

[High-Intensity Force Field Shield ignored!]

The guardians divided upper and lower bodies scattered to the sides.

Boom! A column of water belatedly shot up.

Blood poured out from the water dragons corpse like a waterfall.

The shattered crystal golems body didnt move an inch.

Its over.

I exhaled.

And then I collapsed.

Upon examining my body, it was damaged beyond description.

It wasnt a technique of sacrificing flesh for bones, but a technique of sacrificing flesh to take the enemys flesh as well.

How absurd.

Utterly ridiculous, indeed.

I crawled on the ground. Using only my arms, I climbed the stairs to the altar and snatched the glowing blue gem at the center.

This was the end.

Cough!

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, I leaned my back against the altar.

Ediss voice was heard.

I closed my eyes.

Water began to fill the cavity.

O.

Oppa! freeweb .co m

I opened my eyes.

Someone was shouting in front of me.

Please come to your senses! What are you doing here?!

What happened to you? What are these wounds? What happened that Sis Eloka is!

She must have seen Elokas body.

Jenna couldnt continue her words.

I lifted my immovable arm with difficulty and handed the gem to Jenna.

Take this to the surface and hand it over to Priasis. The mission will be over then.

And you?

I dont think I can come.

Theres only one mermaids tear.

I dont think I can swim.

Even speaking was difficult.

Can you stop saying this!

Jenna snapped.

Im sorry.

Nows not the time for apologies!

Jenna took out a potion, uncapped it, and tried to pour it into my mouth, but more than half spilled out.

Jenna bit her lip hard then filled her mouth with the potion and pressed her lips to mine.

This.

I hadnt thought of this method.

The potion flowed down my mouth.

Really, really, really!

I really wont forgive you if you die. Ill go to hell myself to bring you back. What are you doing, saying I should be careful and then doing something like this?

Jenna took out a red cloth and began to tie me to her back.

I squinted my eyes. The red cloth was a piece of Elokas dress.

Living people should live, you shouldnt have such bad thoughts.

Jenna took out a white potion.

The mermaids tear. This time, she uncapped it and was about to fill her mouth with it.

Hey.

What.

Just give it to me. Ill drink it.

You should have said so from the start.

Jenna placed the potion into my mouth.

I coughed but managed to swallow it.

Do you think dying with style will make anyone happy? Hell No! Sis Eloka..

Well talk about that later.

The water rose just below the altar.

Living people must live.

Jenna wiped the corners of her eyes and then tightened the cloth that tied her back and me once more.

After emptying her portion of the potion, Jenna took a deep breath and dived into the water with me. I weakly watched Jennas back.

Boom.

The entire temple began to collapse.

Jenna, carrying me, swam through the water, dodging the rocks and debris being swept away.

[Oxygen Level 39%]

I moved my hand.

I loosened the cloth tying Jenna and me so I could fall away easily if she reached her limit.

Elokas sinking body appeared among the bubbles.

Pushed out of the temple, she was being sucked into the deep sea along with the water dragons corpse.

Is she going to rotten there.

In the deep sea where no one would come.

Slowly disappearing.

I didnt want to leave her there.

The taste of blood was bitter.

Jenna struggled upwards.

She couldnt gain speed. Her legs hadnt fully healed, and she was carrying a large burden on her back. Nevertheless, Jenna bit down and continued to swim.

Elokas body disappeared into the abyss.

Jenna didnt look back. And just as I was about to completely untie the cloth, a vague shape swam down from above.

They were moving their arms and legs swiftly, coming towards us.

Theyve come out to meet us.

Light began to enter my eyes.

Foolish. How really foolish.

I closed my eyes.
