Entering the lake everything is different like a different world.
This place has a subtle light coming from the volcanoes everywhere no matter where you look.
The temperature here is beyond hell like Mike is swimming under the magma.
Because this place has dim lights Mike can see a little from his surrounding without relying on the view of the dazzling stars. But he can only see in a short time because of the pressure that will destroy his poor eyes if he opens it longer.
Mike might not notice but his eyes are sharper than Daniel now but no one called says that Daniel is still the same from the past or he changes into something more terrifying at the surface.
The only senses Mike can use underwater are his sense of touch and his sense of sight.
But he can't control his body well in this harsh place.
It's been three months since Mike entered the lake and his body is still in not in perfect shape.
His regeneration can't handle th
Drowning himself from his thoughts Mike hits something from his feet.Looking below his eyes widened in surprise for seeing the very ground of these deep waters.(This must be it, right?)Thinking if this might be another trap he looks carefully checking every corner to find any suspicious things at the ground.At the end of his search, he didn't find any suspicious things.(I guess this must be it, huh.)[Yeah, no doubt. As if that will happen to you for a second time, right? If it did I don't if you survive another wave of intense pressure... You barely recover from the last time.](Don't raise a flag for me, geez.)Increasing the speed of his descend his feet touch the ground safely without any trouble.This time he didn't lower his guard and checks his surroundings if something changes.Miraculously, there's nothing suspicious found.Eager to lie down and rest, Mike, hold his feelings back and proceed t
Dozing off in the garbage void without nothing to do, Mike stares at the metal chest without having a thought.It's been three weeks since he is here and there is nothing to do except to wait to be pulled again to his real body.Usually, Imuthis is there to play along with him but for some unknown reason, he can't find Imuthis anywhere in this base.(Arghh... I'm dying from boredom.)He isn't thinking about what will he do when he gets back but instead he isn't thinking anything at all.(For some reason I'm not worried about what will happen to my body... Did unconsciously accepted death? Ahhhh! Forget it! I'm sleeping again!)Covering himself with a rag as his pillow is a chunk of metal Mike shut off himself from the outer world.[Oyy... If you are just lying around doing nothing it's time for you to go back to your body, kid.](Eh!? Imuthis!? Where have you been!?)Popping out from his chest Imuthis the rotten head app
Looking up to the waters with a view of dazzling stars Mike's resolved doesn't waver.(Still, this will be difficult for me to go up... Guess it's time to form up a plan on what to do now.)Gaining a boost to his body Mike's movement through underwater is now smooth like a fish living underwater. By using the experience from surviving underwater for years Mike's form when swimming is gradually changing into a beautiful form that swimmers will be captivated.Because the troublesome tentacle is now gone Mike can now freely choose where he wants to go but even tho he can go anywhere he still can't get to the surface without storing enough air bubble into his hands.Thinking back the bubbles are always there to help him when he is in a pinch, this time because he is now at the bottom maybe he can see the place where the bubbles came from.Walking randomly at the bottom ground Mike sense that there is this unusual aura from the path at his left side.
Four days have passed.After the endless travel on foot, Mike finally reached his destination.The place where the unusual aura is coming off.(Haha... This is crazy.)Grabbing his head with his right hand Mike's eyes widened wide from surprise from the bizarreness this place that has been shown to him.His tired legs finally gave up as his body drop into his knees with a thud.This place where he reaches makes his hope shatters like a fragile mirror clashing that been fell from the four-story building.What he reaches from his long time travel is the end.What I mean the end is the end of the ground.He reaches the cliff of the ground he standing showing that this ground is not the very bottom of the ocean.Just when he thought he was sure that he is at the end.In the cliff, everything is pure darkness no dim lights found from volcanoes nor he sees any life form living down the cliff.Like it was m
The giant tentacle that one thought was a floor of the sea moves at an intimidating pace.No one would believe if one could tell the tale but this is the reality where Mike is facing.The giant tentacle began its move by stretching upwards as it tries to reach something from above.Mike didn't have any clue nor damn care about the giant tentacle for now as he is dealing with another tentacle that about to crush his lower body.Using his dark grey hands to attack the tentacle in full force desperately trying to damage it even if its just a little.*Crack crack*He heard all of his lower bones are breaking apart as a moment passed by his senses on his lower body started to get numb.(Dammit!)Still, he didn't stop destroying the tentacle... As his power from his dark grey hands is disappearing his power gradually weakened and also his defense started to shatter.He will die after his cards have been used up and his regener
Having only a torso, head, and a limb, Mike loses to the tentacle.It was total defeat no matter how you look at it.It ended him having in a pitiful state.However, he hasn't lost his consciousness.Pulling himself together in spite of having his body getting filled by ocean water from the open wounds he had.Biting his lips, thinking non-stop, he is doing everything to not lose consciousness.Losing his consciousness means death.There's no excuse if he ever fell asleep from here.If his head is still okay even if it has a large hole as long there's a chance to come back.Mike looking at his wounds there's no sign of healing but his little amount of weird substance inside his body is patching up his wounds to prevent blood loss.(Even if it just a little this will help.)As his body getting numb Mike didn't know that his scenery began to change slowly for him to realize.The tentacle grab his waist
"Why. Do. You. Desire. To. Live?"The deaths speak in a deep intimidating cold voice that brings chills to the ones who hear his words.The death speaks in human language to Mike who's about to lose light from his single eye.His descend stops as it exactly stops in front of death.Mike who has little vision in his eye saw the face of the death that is in front of him as the dim light from below shows the death silhouette's face.Eel face, glowing white two eyes, with hundreds of layers of razor-sharp teeth as its long tongue slipping out from its mouth. The rest of his body cannot be seen because of the darkness wrapping around him except its face.Slowly the light from below shines more as it's overshadowed by the death's giant body.The death is huge even with Mike's dazzling stars view can't fully see the other end of its body.This creature of death is invisible from Mike's eyes with the view of dazzling stars.This
(You motherfucker, you're Imuthis arent' yah?)Mike quickly snorted some jokes towards the giant creature.Without holding back Mike change his attitude towards the creature.Thinking back why Imuthis isn't responding in these past days maybe because of this reason.His impression of Imuthis changes into something to Anonymous like he didn't know anything about Imuthis anymore.('Memories are shared' my ass! You literally hiding all of this shit!)He's certain that Imuthis is not an enemy, he must be certain or else... but anything other than that is a mystery since this guy appeared from his head.One could have been doubting Imuthis when he started hiding from him but Mike has still trust him.He must.He certainly must be.Or else...(I'll try dragging you into the afterlife if this suffering shit is your cause.)He deliberately said that with intent.Even their power has this large gap.
