Chapter 57: All is well.
Jeanne offered her hands to Nagy and Lillith, and when they both grabbed her hands, she threw them both toward the giant winged eel. Although the winged eel was so big, it was as squishy as the normal one. It was so easy for them to cut its skin and flesh, but the problem would be the skin that was so slippery.
"Nagy, want to do something stupid?" Lillith asked as she was hanging on the winged eel’s body.
"No... I don’t want to make the same mistake that you did in Montana," Nagy answered as she shook her head because she already knew what Lillith was about to say. "I have an idea though. How about you follow me this time?" Nagy asked back as she looked at Lillith.
Lillith nodded her head, and then she saw Nagy pull her daggers out of the winged eel’s body. She then started climbing up as she carefully stabbed her daggers at the winged eel’s skin. Lillith followed her from below and it looked like Nagy was targeting the wings.
The giant winged eel flapped its wings, and that was a bad sign for both of them. They both immediately stabbed their daggers as deep as possible so they could hang on to something. The giant winged eel started flying up high into the sky and went beyond the clouds.
"This is the stupidest idea you have ever suggested!" Lillith shouted as she looked at Nagy who struggled to hold onto the winged eel’s body.
"Not really! Just watch and catch me!" Nagy replied.
Nagy suddenly launched herself up into the air, and she immediately swung her daggers to create multiple projectile attacks. She aimed at the eel’s wings and it was enough to cut both of the wings since she aimed at the core.
The eel was free-falling and so did Nagy, and then Lillith climbed the eel’s body to where Nagy would fall. She climbed as fast as she could, and then she grabbed Nagy’s left leg, and she barely lost her grip.
"Now what? We are going down," Lillith asked.
"Well, let’s just hope Jeanne and the others can use this chance to kill the eel," Nagy answered.
Jeanne looked at the eel slowly going down to the sea, and she immediately told Sven and the others to get ready. She scraped the ice with the tip of her blade, and when the eel’s head was about to hit the water, she then leaped when she reached the edge of the iceberg.
Sven, Vincze, and Bhatmelec followed Jeanne from behind without hesitation even though the distance between the iceberg and the eel was a hundred meters away. Zhang, Ren, and Jeong couldn’t help but be shocked by how far they could jump and how crazy they were to do such a thing.
Jeanne was the first one to slice the eel’s head, but her cut wasn’t deep enough since she lost quite a lot of momentum because of how far it was. Sven and Vincze slice the other side of the head, but they both also couldn’t cut it deep enough. Finally, Bhatmelec thrust her sword right in the middle and then swung it as hard as she could.
"What?! Are you crazy?! Do you want to kill her?" Magnus asked with his eyes wide open and stared at Mykel in disbelief.
"I swear if you say another word and don’t do what I said, I’ll kill you," Mykel said as he looked at Magnus with a serious expression.
Magnus immediately held his spear with both hands and pointed it at the woman on the bed that he didn’t know who that was. He gathered all the life energy into the spear, and since he didn’t want to kill a person, he only used ten percent of the artifact’s power.
"More, use everything you have," Mykel said.
Magnus wanted to say something, but Mykel’s gaze made him shut his mouth and do what Mykel had told him. He then increased the power of his spear to his limit, and when he charged the spear with an immense amount of life energy, he shot it right at the woman’s body as he closed his eyes.
He thought that he would hear a scream, but to his surprise, there was nothing. He slowly opened his eyes and he was shocked when he saw the beam that he released didn’t only hit the woman, but the beam was being sucked into the woman’s body.
"Keep it steady and don’t stop," Mykel said as he walked to the bed.
The blanket and the bed got torn apart, and that was when Magnus realized who that woman was when he saw the tattoos. He was speechless when he saw Elena’s condition and how she looked so skinny and old.
Magnus started to see shadows in his visions, and he started to lose strength in his hands and feet.
"How much longer do I have to do this?" Magnus asked as he was dripping sweat from all over his body.
"As long as you can," Mykel answered.
Mykel watched as Elena’s body slowly gained weight and her skin became much brighter. Her hair turned brown again and she was no longer in pain as Magnus kept showering her with life energy.
She slowly regained consciousness, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Mykel sitting next to her as she felt the warmth of the life energy around her. She looked at Magnus who looked red as an apple, and then Magnus dropped his spear and collapsed to the ground.
"Dad," Elena said as she glimmered in tears and hugged Mykel so tightly.
"Welcome back," Mykel smiled.
