Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

154 Chapter 154



Acht felt his mouth go dry as he witnessed the huge shadow looking over him like a veil of darkness. It was simply colossal to the point where it could make him look like an ant in front of it.

Not only that, but the shriek that came from this monster was chilling, to say the least. Acht felt his heart stop for a moment. The level of strength of this monster was not something he could deal with in such a place and in such conditions.

But, he didn't stay in that state for long as he knew that staying here was akin to a death wish. So, with an urgent movement, he tried to swim away while trying to call for Lein who was still frozen for some reason.

"Move, you fucking idiot!!" He shouted.

Truthfully, he didn't care whether Lein dies or not, but because he knew that if the situation becomes catastrophic, he will need her strength to increase his chance of survival. That's why she must at least live until he gets out of this place.

Luckily, his words seemed to have woken her up from her trance as she shook her head and started swimming away quickly.

The two tried to create as much of a distance between them and the sea king fish before it did any small movement that could kill them instantly.

They both knew that the suit won't hold on with a strong impact after all.

But, before they could even swim far away, a strong shockwave came rushing at them. Acht and Lein tried to dodge but couldn't since moving quickly in this pressure was very hard.

"Ahhh!!!" A whimper of pain came out of Acht's mouth as he was sent flying away into the darkness.

It took him a good 5 seconds to restabilize himself. He then looked around him and tried to find the location of Lein and the sea king fish.

Luckily, he felt the colossal presence of the monster far away. But, he also discovered something else horrifying.

'There are two auras of the same caliber near each other.' He thought.

He wasn't able to discover this at the time because he was busy trying to find a way out of this mess.

'Are these two monsters fighting?'

He couldn't tell since they were far away but that was the most probable reason for the sea king fish's rampage.

"Dammit! Where did that bitch go?" He tried to sense Lein but there was no use.

So, without any other solution, he started swimming away. The last thing he wanted was to get mingled into the fight between those two creatures.

The darkness surrounding him and the silence that suddenly took the place made him feel even more tensed up. It was almost nerve-wracking not to hear or feel anything around you.

But, Acht kept a calm and composed expression.

Then, as if to deny any kind of attempts to escape, Acht felt one of the auras of the monsters rushing towards him at an impossibly fast speed. It was so fast that he could barely sense it before it already reached him.

He looked around him, searching for the monster as he kept moving. But, even though he could sense its presence, he couldn't see it in such a dark place.

'Where did it go, dammit!' He thought.

That's when he saw it, something straight out of nightmares. In front of him was a huge eye, big enough to be compared to a building.

The eye was completely black with a weird hint of red to it. But, that wasn't the reason Acht dreaded this sight so much.

What made him feel a chill run down his spine, those were completely empty, devoid of any emotions. He normally wouldn't feel any kind of fear, but at that exact moment and for a split second, he actually felt fear.

It was a new feeling for him since he was never someone to fear anything no matter what it was which speaks volumes of how horrifying this gaze was.

The two kept looking at each other for a good 30 seconds, neither Acht nor the sea king fish moved an inch. It was akin to a staring contest.

Then, as if it already had enough, the fish swam into the darkness again, vanishing completely.

This gave Acht a few seconds to breathe and calm down.

'Fuck, this made me feel fear?!' He thought to himself in disbelief.

It was a huge hit to Acht's pride. Why would he fear something? It was indeed way stronger than him but that wasn't a reason for him to fear it.

"Tsk." He clicked his tongue and started moving again.

Deep down, he wanted to leave this shithole as fast as he could.

He kept swimming and swimming as if it was the only thing his body is capable of.

The boy was still far away from the clear water but he at least made some distance.

As he was swimming, he heard something from his communication device. It seemed to be Lein.

He tried to listen to the words she was saying but they were incoherent. It was almost as if she was muttering her last words.

"Hey, are you still alive?" He spoke to her.

But, she didn't answer him as she kept muttering something before she suddenly said.

"My suit has been destroyed and I'm losing oxygen at a fast speed." She said to him with a quiet voice.

Acht's expression tensed up slightly. He didn't know what to say in such a situation.

"Are you still far away?" He asked.

"Heheh, it's over. Fuck, how could I die in such a stupid place? Ugh!!" She laughed slightly before groaning in pain.

Acht unconsciously looked behind for a split moment before he shook his head and continued swimming.

"Neh, little shit. Could you keep this link open until I die? The last thing I want is to lose my life alone in such a dark place." She asked with an almost pleading voice.

"...Are you scared?" He asked.

"Hahahahah!! I don't know. Why would I? My body is already growing numb from the cold water and I am losing consciousness gradually. It's not that bad."

"But, could you at least grant one wish of mine?"
