Chapter 390: True Spirit
"....."
Eli's eyes swept the pitch-black expanse around him, trying to make sense of his surroundings. He couldn't recall exactly how he ended up here, only a vague memory of stepping through the door before everything went dark.
'Did I truly enter the door?' Eli pondered, his senses heightened as he tentatively reached out to touch his surroundings. To his surprise, he encountered an invisible barrier blocking his path, confirming his presence in an otherworldly space.
Eli's hand moved forward and then backwards, a surprised expression crossing his features as he realized that the darkness enveloped him from behind while the path ahead remained clear and inviting.
"Where does this path lead?" Eli wondered aloud, his track stretching on for what felt like an eternity until a faint glimmer of light appeared in the distance, drawing his attention like a beacon in the darkness.
Quickening his pace, Eli approached the shimmering light, his heart quickening with a mix of curiosity and apprehension. As the light grew brighter, revealing the outline of a familiar form, Eli's eyes widened in recognition.
"A door?" Eli's voice echoed softly, his brow furrowing as he beheld the same wooden door he had encountered earlier. However, this time it appeared pristine and untouched as if it had just been crafted moments ago.
"This door..." Eli murmured, his fingertips grazing the smooth surface of the wood. Etched upon it was an intricate design, depicting a majestic tree reminiscent of the world tree he had glimpsed before.
Just as Eli was about to turn the doorknob when,
"Are you absolutely certain?" The voice seemed to resonate from the depths of the void, its tone laced with a warning that hung heavy in the air.
Eli halted his movement and glanced back.... Standing behind him was a colossal Megalodon, its presence both awe-inspiring and intimidating. Its sharp teeth gleamed ominously in the dim light, casting elongated shadows in the darkness.
Despite the pitch-black surroundings, Eli could discern every detail of the Megalodon's form, its powerful presence seeming to emit a faint, otherworldly glow.
"So, you've finally decided to speak with me?" Eli's voice held a hint of scepticism, his eyes meeting the Megalodon's piercing gaze without a trace of fear.
Since the moment Eli had summoned the Megalodon, he had attempted numerous times to establish communication, only to be met with silence and enigmatic stares.
However, instead of providing a direct answer, the Megalodon fixated its menacing blue eyes on the door, its gaze unwavering as it said, "Once you open the door, you shall never go back to the life you always wanted"
Eli's gaze remained fixed on the Megalodon, his expression a mask of contemplation as he grappled with the spirit's refusal to acknowledge him.
Ignoring the spirit's cryptic warning, Eli turned his attention back to the door, determination etched in his features. With a deep breath, he grasped the doorknob and turned it.
'Thud'
The sound reverberated in the space as Eli slowly pushed the door open.
'ccrrrkkkk'
"SSshhhhh"
A hushed noise accompanied the movement as a blinding light suddenly poured out from the doorway, engulfing the darkness around them in brilliant white illumination.
Eli squinted against the sudden brightness as the scenery shifted before his eyes.
He found himself standing before a colossal world tree..... larger than any he had ever seen. Yet, instead of vitality, this tree seemed to be in a state of decay, its branches wilting and its once-majestic form marred by darkness..... Maisma.
'Crunch, Crunch'
Eli's attention was drawn downward by the sound of gnawing, his gaze settling on the roots of the world tree where a.... massive serpent was coiled.
"It's a very, very big snake..." Eli muttered in awe, his eyes widening as he beheld the immense creature attempting to devour the roots of the towering tree while simultaneously constricting it with its tail.
Trying to break the tree!
"That is my Lord Jormungandr..." The Megalodon spoke with a mix of reverence and fear, its gaze fixed upon the serpent.
"Jormungandr?" Eli echoed, puzzled by the unfamiliar name... This was his first time hearing a weird name.
"It is the true spirit that you have nurtured within yourself," the Megalodon explained, its tone tinged with awe as it continued, "You may find it perplexing and confusing but I am not under your control..."
"Hmm?"
"I am merely a fragment of my Lord's power... You are only harnessing a portion of my lord's strength.... That is me," the Megalodon clarified, its blue eyes locking onto the serpent with a mixture of reverence and submission.
".... Yeah... It's all confusing now" Eli muttered, his mind still reeling from the revelations.
"So, that thing was dormant within me all this time?" he inquired, his gaze turning back to the Megalodon for clarification.
"..." The Megalodon regarded Eli with a frown, seemingly displeased by his lack of reverence. With a resigned sigh, it nodded in confirmation, "Yes, deep within you, slumbering... but since you opened the door, that means your body was strong enough to awaken My lord"
"What do you mean by 'awake'?" Eli pressed, his brow furrowing in confusion.
But before he could receive a response, the Megalodon vanished into particles, leaving Eli alone in space.
Sighing heavily, Eli turned his attention to the serpent.... Jormungandr. However, his astonishment quickly turned to alarm as the colossal creature loomed before him, its gaze fixed upon him with an intensity that wanted to devour him.
Before Eli could react, Jormungandr enveloped him in its jaws, swallowing him whole.
"Arrhh," Eli groaned as his eyelids fluttered, slowly opening to Alysia's concerned gaze.
"You're finally awake?" Her voice was a mix of relief and amusement while offering him a lap pillow.
"W-What happened?" Eli's head throbbed with pain, his memory hazy from the recent events.
"Well, you kind of knocked down..." Alysia explained with a small smile, her eyes reflecting both worry and a hint of playfulness.
"Sigh..." Eli let out a sigh and attempted to lift himself from the soft cushion of her lap, but in his dazed state, he ended up falling onto her chest.
"Ah!" Alysia's startled cry filled the air as Eli unintentionally landed on top of her.
Seeing her adorable cute Elven features up close, Eli couldn't resist teasing her affectionately, "My darling~ why are you so cute?" He whispered softly into her pointed ear, gently nibbling on it.
"~HMMM~" Alysia's lips trembled as her body lost control just from the one single bite on the sensitive ear.
Her face turned tomato bright red!!!
Seeing her face shy face, those fluttering pointy ears....
'Ba-Dump'
'Okay, let's seal the deal!' Eli's inner voice cheered, his heart skipping a beat at the anticipation.
"Alysia~ you're truly seducing me now~" Eli whispered huskily before leaning in to capture her lips in a heated kiss.
"~Hmm~"
Alysia's initial shock turned to a mixture of horror and arousal as Eli's lips met hers. She tried to push him away, but Eli's gentle touch on her ear caused her resistance to melt away.
"W-Wait! Wait!... I-I am no~Hmmmm~" Alysia's protest was interrupted by Eli's passionate kiss.
Unlike before, this kiss wasn't a mere peck. Eli bit her lips which caused her flinch and parted her lips. Using this chance Eli invaded her mouth and deepened the kiss, his passion overwhelming her.
Alysia's eyes widened, tears forming at the corners as she succumbed to the intensity of the kiss.... Her hands found their way to Eli's head, pulling him closer as she surrendered to the moment and accepted his kiss passionately.
As they indulged in their passionate embrace, their senses heightened with each lingering touch and fervent kiss.
'~slurp~'
'~Hmmm~'
Their heads tilted back in unison as they surrendered to the intensity of their connection, delving deeper into each other with every moment.
Alysia's legs instinctively wrapped around Eli's hips, conveying her eagerness as she drew him closer.
Eli's hands, driven by desire, finally reached her ample breasts, eliciting a primal response of pleasure from both of them.
'Busty boobs... Fuck! Yes!' Eli couldn't contain his excitement as he savoured the sensation of her curves beneath his touch.
"~annnnggg~"
Alysia's weird and sensational moan escaped her lips, a mixture of pleasure and desire mingling in the air between them.
Just about to remove her dress when,
'Busty?..... She hadn't this big!!!' Eli's mind raced as he quickly halted their kiss, lifting himself to look at those big knockers... bigger than what he had known.
"Alysia?" Eli's voice held a note of uncertainty as he gazed at her flushed face.
"Hmm...?" Alysia, still caught in the aftermath of their passionate encounter, responded with a dazed expression.
"Alysia's Favorite Mother... Morgan Flora," she murmured softly.
"Fuck!"
