My Yandere Wives are Transcendents-Chapter 355: The Chosen ones...

"..." Eli stood in silent observation as the monstrous Eagle struggled and contorted, caught in a battle with unseen forces. Its form flickered erratically between a majestic golden hue and a haunting skeletal visage.

"Please... Hu-- Asher...Eli" the Eagle pleaded, its voice strained with desperation and a hint of recognition buried within the chaos.

Despite the creature's plea, Eli remained stoic, his expression hardened by the weight of uncertainty and frustration. He muttered under his breath, a mix of annoyance and resignation evident in his tone,

"I haven't got any information," his words carrying a sense of resignation as he grappled with the enigma unfolding before him.

Yet, the Eagle persisted, its voice growing weaker with each plea. "...kKikkki... Please...KKIIKKKIII... I-it h-hurts...KIKIIII" it begged, its cries echoing through the ethereal space.

Sensing that further conversation would yield no answers, Eli sighed heavily and closed his eyes, a gesture of weariness and resignation.

In an instant, his entire being underwent a startling transformation, enveloped by a reddish-black aura that pulsed with reddish-dark energy.

"Good Nourishment...."

The transformed figure remarked, its gaze sweeping over the bluish figures scattered across the realm. Despite the gravity of its words, there was an eerie calmness to its demeanour, as if it were executing a..... predetermined plan.

"N-No, They are innocent, let them go," The Eagle pleaded, its exhaustion palpable as it struggled against the inexorable tide of fate.

However, the reddish-black figure remained unmoved, its silence speaking volumes as it raised its hand in a gesture of finality.

"Good Bye"

It uttered solemnly, with a swift motion, the realm transformed into a swirling vortex of reddish darkness, consuming everything in its path with an insatiable hunger.

As the chaos unfolded, the Eagle watched helplessly, its heart heavy with sorrow and regret. It could only bear witness as the reddish-black entity devoured every bluish spark of life... Innocent souls, extinguishing them with ruthless efficiency.

"Forgive me, My Lord Vishnu... Your mount is finally set free from this eternal curse" the Eagle whispered solemnly and longing...

Then it was fully devoured by the Reddish-black figure.

In its final moments, the Eagle left behind a few cryptic words, a testament to its unwavering loyalty and..... sense of duty?

"Protect the chosen ones...."

".... Who? Heroes?"

"No, The Keys a..."

"Keys?"

And with that, the entire realm turned into nothingness.... everything vanished, leaving Eli alone in the vastness of the void, his mind awash with unanswered questions... He disappeared.

.....

....

"Eli!!!" Arlyne's voice pierced through the haze that enveloped Eli's consciousness, pulling him back to reality.

"H-Huh?" Eli's eyes fluttered open, greeted by the worried gaze of Arlyne.

Eli reached out and gently touched her cheeks, his fingers tracing the rough, cracked texture of her skin. The sight stirred a mix of emotions within him.

"How long?" he asked, his voice still heavy with grogginess as he slowly rose to his feet.

"Around ten minutes..." Arlyne replied softly, her eyes reflecting the concern etched on her face.

Eli's gaze shifted to the lifeless skeletal eagle lying nearby, its stomach missing and its body broken.... a casualty of Arlyne's fierce determination.

He scanned the area for the soul crystal, but it was nowhere to be found.... just like Dungeon Walker and Dimensional Beast.

"Let's leave..." Eli said with a reassuring smile, his hand reaching out to cradle the motionless Pearl in his palm.

Arlyne's eyes shimmered with relief and gratitude as she nodded, her steps hesitant but resolute as she approached Eli.

"Hop on the back," Eli said with a playful wink.

Arlyne's cheeks flushed with a rosy hue as she wrapped her arms around Eli's neck and settled onto his back, her heart fluttering with a mixture of excitement and nervousness.

Before they set off, Eli invoked his healing arts, bathing both Arlyne and Pearl in a soothing warmth that seeped into their bodies, revitalizing them after the ordeal they had endured.

"At last, we are going to leave..." Arlyne whispered, her voice filled with a mixture of relief and joy as tears welled up in her eyes.

"Yes," Eli replied, his smile warm and reassuring as he gently patted Arlyne's head, offering her comfort and support.

"!!" Arlyne startled, her blush deepening as she stammered, "I-I love you..." She quickly hid her face behind Eli's back, overcome by the sudden confession, 'aaahhhhhh!! I TOLD HIM!!!!!' she screamed inwardly.

Eli's expression softened at her words, his heart swelling with affection. "Tell me after getting out of this dungeon," he replied tenderly, his gaze drifting towards the swirling portal in the sky.

"Hmmm," Arlyne nodded, her voice barely a whisper as she struggled to meet Eli's gaze, her emotions in turmoil.

The once yellowish sparks now turned into golden sparks that were similar to Garuda's slit eyes, Eli propelled himself towards the portal, his body moving with grace and agility.

And in the blink of an eye,

'Thud!'

Eli landed outside of the dungeon, his mind still reeling from the sudden transition. 'That was fast..' he thought to himself, momentarily taken aback by the swift speed.... Faster than ever.

However, his attention quickly shifted when he noticed three figures standing before him, their expressions solemn and unreadable.

"You jumped really fas---" Arlyne's voice trailed off as she caught sight of the three individuals, her demeanour instantly shifting as she landed from Eli's back and gripped her weapon with a serious expression.

Tension hung heavy in the air, threatening to escalate into conflict, when suddenly,

'Sssshhhh'

A red-blue-haired woman materialized between them, bowing her head respectfully. "My Lord," she greeted, her voice reverent and deferential.

Eli's guard lowered at the sight of Evelina Velistrike, knowing who she was. He addressed her with a calm demeanour, seeking clarity amidst the uncertainty, "What time is it?"

"The race is about to finish, My Lord.... Her Majesty is really worried" Lina replied, her words carrying a sense of urgency that mirrored Eli's own thoughts.

Arlyne, sensing Eli's ease in Lina's presence, relaxed her grip on her weapon, her expression softening as she observed the exchange between them.

"Hmm," Eli nodded absently, his thoughts momentarily distracted as he prepared to hand over Pearl to Lina.

But before he could complete the motion,

"~chu~"

Eli froze as he felt a tender touch against his lips, his heart skipping a beat as he realized Pearl was stirring from her unconscious state. Slowly, Pearl lifted her head, her gaze meeting Eli's with a softness.

"My master's name is Medusa and...." Pearl's voice broke the silence, her words carrying a sense of vulnerability and longing. With a hopeful smile, she added, "I love you..."

Eli was momentarily speechless, though he expected but not at the same in a day.... But instead of responding with words, he leaned forward and pressed a gentle kiss to Pearl's forehead, a silent gesture of reassurance and understanding. He knew that Pearl had begun to trust him fully, and for Eli.... that was enough.

Then, Eli handed Pearl over to Lina, who watched the exchange with a mixture of confusion and curiosity.

Arlyne, who had been observing the scene unfold, felt a surge of competitive spirit rising within her... her expression turned dark before returning to normal. With a shy expression, she walked towards Eli, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

And then, without a word,

"~chu~"

Arlyne planted a tender kiss on Eli's cheek, her actions speaking volumes about her feelings..... She was too shy to kiss him in front of others, but her affection was unmistakable.

"Hehe..." Eli's smile softened as he affectionately patted Arlyne's head, "Take rest, I will be back," he assured her, but Arlyne shook her head defiantly, her determination evident in her eyes as she braced herself to confront the person responsible for their ordeal.

"Arlyne," Eli's voice cut through the air with a sternness that made Arlyne reluctantly back off, recognizing the seriousness of his tone.

"Heal and take care of them..." Eli ordered Lina who took Pearl in her arms.

"Where is Nex?" Eli inquired, his posture tense with anticipation as he prepared himself for the confrontation that awaited him.

"In that direction," Lina replied as she pointed in the south direction.

"I see...." Eli muttered, his focus intensifying as he summoned his mana,

Mana Breathing

Deep Inhale

"Lightning Arts: 1st Form"

"THUNDER!!!!"

A massive bolt of Golden lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the darkness with its brilliance as Eli vanished from sight in an instant, propelled towards his destination with unparalleled speed.

"...." Lina arched an eyebrow in surprise, impressed by Eli's mastery over the lightning element instead of plasma... 'It seems he has grown significantly,' she thought to herself before disappearing alongside the others.

Eli, who had been maintaining a soft cascade of energy, suddenly found himself consumed by fury.... Golden sparks erupted from his body, crackling with unrestrained power as he propelled himself towards the hovering figure of Nex.

His eyes, now a fiery reddish-black, mirrored the intensity of his emotions as he unleashed his pent-up rage.

"THUNDER!!!!"

With a deafening roar, he unleashed a devastating bolt of lightning, the sheer force propelling him with unparalleled speed.

In a fraction of a second, he materialized above the arena... dark clouds swirled around, and his auburn hair swayed gently and yet his expression was quite opposite.

"THUNDER!!!!"

"DID. YOU. MISS. ME..... HUMAN?"

His voice rang out with a chilling intensity, his words dripping with strange emotions that could annihilate the world.

For a brief moment, Eli's form flickered with a reddish-black hue, a manifestation of the raw emotions that surged within him. But just as quickly, he returned to his normal state..... though his eyes stayed reddish-black as if he let lose his emotions... a little bit!!ƒrēenovelkiss.com
