My Yandere Wives are Transcendents

Chapter 335: Girls weren't scared anymore

"Are you guys ready?" Asher Eli asked, his voice tinged with determination as he prepared to make another attempt to reach the sky.

"Yes," Arlyne replied, her grip tightening on the massive humanoid armour she held in her hands.

"Then, Three...

Two...

One!!!" Eli counted down before launching himself into the dark expanse above.

"SSHHHHHHHH!!!"

Arlyne's hands bulged as she hurled the armour skyward, aiming for the sparkling portal looming overhead.

Eli followed the trajectory of the armour, his gaze fixed on the portal's shimmering surface.

'Spark, Spark'

But just as the armour was about to reach the portal, a bluish, sparkling light struck it, and...

"Spprttttt"

The armour disintegrated into countless particles, scattering across the sky.

'Sigh' Eli let out a heavy sigh as he descended back to the ground.

"So, what happened?" Pearl inquired, her curiosity piqued.

"Even the bones shattered," Eli explained, shaking his head in frustration.

Hearing this, both Pearl and Arlyne grimaced, their hopes dashed once again.

It had been several days since they were trapped inside the dungeon, and despite their numerous attempts, they had been unable to breach the barrier imposed by the mysterious sparkling object that destroyed anything attempting to reach the portal.

Today, they had hoped that by enclosing a skeleton within the armour, they could test whether the unknown entity would destroy the contents as well. However, their plan had failed miserably, leaving them back at square one with no viable means of reaching the portal.

Thus..... their plan to send Eli first was halted.

"THUNDER!!"

The distant rumble of thunder signalled an approaching thunderstorm, prompting the trio to retreat to their makeshift shelter amidst the skeletal remains scattered about the cave.

As they entered the dimly lit cavern, Arlyne and Pearl exchanged worried glances as they observed Eli's visibly thinner figure, his features etched with the strain of hunger.

Meanwhile, their own bodies remained relatively unaffected, still fresh and untouched. A pang of guilt gnawed at their hearts as they realized they had no means to alleviate Eli's hunger.

With no food in sight..... not even a single bug to be found, they felt helpless. They wanted to assist Eli, whose stomach growled audibly, yet he remained stoic, never showing any sign of frustration or anger or any kind of weird behaviour that normally humans would do.

Both of them hailed from noble backgrounds and might not fully grasp the true meaning of hunger and desperation.

This was why they had agreed to send Eli first, if possible, and wait for his return. Deep down, they knew he wouldn't abandon them.

It wasn't a sudden blossoming of trust...

"Pearl," Eli's voice broke the silence as he settled on the ground.

"Eli... I don't think it's a good idea," Pearl began to protest, but Eli was insistent.

"Pearl, it will be hard if you dry up like a fish," Eli teased lightly, attempting to inject some levity into the tense atmosphere.

Both Pearl and Arlyne understood that Eli was trying to maintain their spirits, despite their dire situation.

Blushing slightly, Pearl reluctantly made her way over to Eli and settled on his lap, leaning back against his chest.

Eli showed no surprise at her proximity. Instead, he gently touched the dried gills on Pearl's neck, beginning to heal them with his powers.

'sshhhiiii'

As the cool sensation washed over her, Pearl sighed in relief, while Arlyne observed the scene from a short distance, her emotions swirling with uncertainty.

Pearl's concern was evident as she muttered, "Eli if you keep using your power, you might weaken yourself."

Despite her worry, Eli responded with a reassuring smile. "Don't worry about it," he said calmly, his voice carrying a sense of confidence that seemed to ease Pearl's anxieties.

A heavy silence settled over them, contrasting with the raging thunderstorm outside, which they had grown accustomed to.

"THUNDER!!"

The once-frightening sound no longer instilled fear in the girls.

They say that everyone eventually gets used to everything...

So, instead of fear, the girls felt concerned for Eli, whose strength seemed to wane with each passing day. It was a subtle shift in their dynamic, but one that spoke volumes about their growing bond.... It's really growing well!!

"So..." Arlyne suddenly broke the silence, her voice tinged with curiosity, "You guys are... dating now?" with hint of awkwardness.

"W-What?"The question caught Pearl off guard, her face flushing crimson with embarrassment. Before she could even respond, Eli interjected with a teasing tone,

"What do you think?"

Pearl turned towards Eli, her cheeks still flushed, and stammered, "W-What do you mean by that?"

"Hmm? It means...." Eli leaned in closer, a mischievous glint in his eye, preparing to whisper something when suddenly,

"Cough, Cough," Arlyne interrupted with a forced cough, her eyes darting between Eli and Pearl.

"What?" Eli tilted his head, a questioning expression on his face as he glanced at Arlyne, sensing her unease.

"Nothing," Arlyne shrugged her shoulders, feigning nonchalance as she turned her attention back to the dancing flames.

As she watched the flickering fire, her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to Eli, and she couldn't help but feel a flush of embarrassment as she caught him staring at her intently. She couldn't deny the butterflies fluttering in her stomach when he looked at her, no matter how much she tried to suppress them.

Arlyne wanted nothing more than to put Eli in the ground, just as he had done to her before..... But despite her frustration, she found herself unable to act on her impulses, especially after his teasing remark "You look cute when you're embarrassed!".... She couldn't pull herself to do anything.

Glancing over at Pearl, who was comfortably nestled against Eli, Arlyne couldn't suppress a pang of jealousy. It had only been yesterday that Pearl had asked Eli to let her sit between his legs like a child, and Eli had readily agreed, leaving Arlyne feeling left out.

"Pervert, don't you have wives?!" Arlyne muttered under her breath, her irritation mounting as she stewed in her own thoughts.

To make matters worse, after Eli finished healing Pearl's neck, Pearl remained close to him, basking in his warmth and care.... as if they were lovers or something.

If this wasn't dating, then what else could it be?!

After Eli finished healing Pearl's neck, he observed her still fuming with anger, though she remained nestled against him, unwilling to move away.

Eli, sensing her tense state, decided to break the tension by slowly wrapping his arms around her hips in a gentle embrace.

Pearl initially flinched, her eyes widening as they landed on Eli's warm hand encircling her waist. However, to Eli's surprise, she didn't recoil or express any sign of disgust as she had before. Instead, she remained still, her body gradually relaxing into his touch.... she didn't feel disgust unlike before.

"Hehe..." Eli couldn't help but inwardly chuckle at Pearl's reaction, finding amusement in the situation. Despite her initial reaction, Pearl seemed to be growing accustomed to his presence, which pleased Eli more than he cared to admit.

As the silence stretched on, Arlyne lifted her head to observe the scene before her,

"W-What are yo---" Before she could complain,

An explosion occurred outside.
