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.

"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!!
