Capítulo 66: Demon's Contract
"I can't give you a gift like power or an artifact like those humans have been imagining if they encounter a myth or a legend like me. So how about I give you a deal?"
Saying those words Mike glare at the creature with a spark from his eyes. His other holed eye is already healed that he can now look at his surrounding with his eyes alone.
Through the glimpse from his eyes the fire of greed burning just by hearing those words.
Seeing at Mike's eyes the creature found it interesting and continued what he's talking about.
(Contract you say?)
"Hohoho... It seems that you have a deep understanding of this word 'contract' eh?"
(Oh please... Because of that, I can't live a peaceful life on the surface. Just by hearing about it again makes my body tingles.)
"Hmm... I see."
(So what's this contract you talking about?)
"Fast at picking up the situation, huh. This contract I'm talking about is about I'll let you go to the surface in this instant."
After hearing his statement Mike trembles with excitement. The word 'surface' and 'instant' caught his very mind.
Creature ignore his reaction and continued;
"However, as you human understand the contract. There's a condition."
Mike cannot form up a word from his mouth and only give an understanding nod to the creature.
"After you reached the surface you will encounter countless trouble than any human mind would think of. My condition to you is that you must continue my bloodline. My clan.
You don't need to know anything about this yet, you barely have time left to stay here in the bottom. You must not die, you must not be controlled by others, you must be free this is absolute, I don't want my clan to be just an underling of others."
To be honest you have the most average talent compare to your friends on the ship years ago. You have average talent but as cliche, as it gets you managed to surprise me. This might be boring to your ears but I choose you... I mean like I have another choice than to trust you."
Stating the condition Mike gives a confused face as he can't understand a thing from what he said. The creature said that he will understand this in the future as long he desires to live which makes Mike more nervous than ever.
The hunger for answers makes Mike frustrated to himself because of his shallow knowledge of this situation. He's not to be blamed here though but if only Mike knows what's his situation maybe there's the chance that he won't suffer from these years of descending towards the bottom.
Having a choice to give him a chance to go back to the surface Mike resolved himself.
(Alright, this is better to die here alone I guess.)
As his answer, his surrounding water started to shake wildly.
This must be the cause of the creature.
As the water vibrates, again and again, hundred giant tentacles appear in every angle carrying a huge lump metal ball bringing it towards Mike.
A huge lump of metal balls are coated with a weird liquid came from the creature. This is the creative way to prevent the iron to rust or crumble from the pressure.
While it slowly goes towards him his left leg is completely healed like a new leaf appeared from the soil. His other leg is almost getting healed as it's halfway growing his knee.
His other arm is almost done regenerating. His regeneration is extraordinary fast but this is on a whole different level. Before he could even notice his inside, Mike is now already breathing from the air that has been producing from the creature's liquid.
Widened eyes Mike solve the mystery about where in the world the bubble came from. He didn't expect the bubble came from him. The taste of air is slightly different from the normal air on the surface nor from the usual air bubble but Mike didn't bother to be picky as long it helps, it helps.
The metal balls attached around the sphere liquid flattened it and curved it to make it an even metal sphere around him.
Because of the creature's liquid inside it help the metal cover not too deformed from the pressure.
After a little adjust in the outside a ball of the metal sphere was created as the thick creature's liquid is inside for Mike to stay in.
It's comfortable, perfect for staying away from the intense pressure of water.
The creature's tentacle grabs the metal sphere and stance himself preparing for something big.
The tentacles' muscle reshapes itself stretching far away down from the creature.
Mike had no idea as he can only look through the small gap of the metal sphere and hopes this will be something good according to their contract.
As he goes lower the surroundings get brighter. With his dazzling stars view, he can't see any presence around indicating this light is not from any creature but its an actual light.
Thinking back he didn't see any light from the creature.
*Thud*
The metal ball hit the very ocean floor.
(This is the real one, right?)
[Yeah, it seems like it.]
(You only appeared at weird times.)
[My perspective of time is kinda complicated.]
His descend stops from the ocean floor.
Looking around his eyes strained from the brightness.
The light is not that bright compared to the sunlight nor from the bulb light but because Mike haven't seen any light for years his eyes are now sensitive.
The dazzling stars are not actually light because it uses his other senses than eyes so there's no problem in there.
Covering his eyes Mike forces his eyes to adjust itself to see the view.
However, before he could adjust the metal sphere started to move.
It moves in an instant, at such high speed upwards that defines the physics in underwater and pressure.
Opening his eyes he tried to peak just for a little before the scenery change.
Looking bellow he sees the source of the light.
It came from the blue beautiful crystals radiating a bright light everywhere in the ocean floor.
Along with the crystals, he saw the countless creature's tentacles moving around the floor. Thin and thick its everywhere but because of the darkness Mike can't see the tentacles around him.
Because of the light, he could now see the metal sphere in detail in an instant.
The metal sphere looks familiar, well yes it is. This metal scraps came from the ships that have been sunken. I guess the question about where the sunken ships go have been answered.
In a short moment, the light around him quickly gone as he ascends quickly than ever.
Because of his mind can handle any kind of mental pressure, he can handle the increased speed without being nausea.
He passed the creature like the creature is giving him a farewell.
To his last words for him, he gave him a reasonable answer to his question that still not have been asked.
"I'm only supposed to collect some dead organism or things from the surface to put into my collection but I guess letting you alive has more worth for me to see. Don't bore me, human. And farewell.
Make sure this shit that I've been doing for you to be not in vain. This is a hassle as fuck." Just before this creature can't speak straight in human language but now he can even use cursed words like its natural.
Hearing his words Mike thought that this creature only moves based on his selfish feeling alone. A scum creature if I say so to myself.
(That creature is almost like me, huh.)
He thinks that he caught a little glimpse of creature grinning like its thinking something bad.
[Well, if he didn't see himself from you then you are not alive right now.]
(Hahaha, please don't talk about that. Luck is too much for me to handle right now.)
In an instant before one could know it. Mike reached the surface in no time.
With the help of a tentacle that almost kills him back then is now helping him to ascend back to the surface.
Through his welcome party, Mike didn't know what will come to him at the surface.
He wishes for a comfortable place to be given to him when he arrived.
For his sake, we wish for his safety through his journey.
