Unsealing Emptiness

Chapter 68: What happened now!?

The prosthetic leg had the explosion function just as Ozul had wanted it to be. With enough money on hand, there was nothing that Mr Smith wasn’t able to add in the prosthetics. Not only the leg, but even both arms also had similar functions!

Of course, the explosion was not so small that Ozul could just ignore it. It took all his efforts only to keep his conscious when it blasted!

Smoke rose everywhere due to the scale of the explosion. Anyone from outside might not be able to see inside, but the Monster and Ozul were near each other, so Ozul did not have any trouble locating his target.

Although the explosion also affected him, Ozul had it better than the Monster as he was prepared for it while the latter was caught off guard.

He took advantage of this moment when the ‘Anomaly’ was still stunned due to the explosion. Ozul quickly called back the Ball of Purity and formed a leg for himself. Now, on both his feet, he sprang towards its mouth.

At this moment, Ozul did not think of any consequences, or how disgusting it was to jump into a creature’s mouth. All he knew was that his leg was still intact, and he wanted it back!

The Monster did not even have teeth. If it did not have a human frame, many would just consider it some kind of Slime Magical Beast.

.....

It felt something going inside it from its mouth, but due to the earlier explosion, it wasn’t able to properly move his arm. Its mouth was big enough that even two of Ozul’s could easily fit in, so he encountered no problem in it.

However, he took a huge risk in going inside it because he did not know how he would be able to get out!

He had already tried to cut open the Monster’s skin, but the blades would always just get stuck in its gooey surface. Ozul knew that once inside, he may never be able to get out.

Not to mention, there was also a risk that the Monster even starts to absorb Ozul! Despite all the risks, he was determined to get his leg back.

‘Would it even be worth living, if I’m never complete again?’

It was the question that made Ozul jump into the action without caring about the consequences. Ozul did not even know what he was, and permanently losing himself would be way too much for him.

When the smoke cleared away, Blaze and Raven were both stunned because they could not find Ozul anywhere!

Just then, they noticed that the Monster’s mouth was unusually swollen. They put the pieces together, and both were shocked out of their minds that the Monster had swallowed Ozul!

Raven, who did not even have the power to stand up straight, suddenly mustered up her strength and ran towards the Monster! She had tears running down her cheeks when she thought what could have happened to Ozul.

The moment when Ozul had jumped into the Monster’s mouth, there was smokescreen around them. So, Raven had no idea that Ozul himself had gone inside it.

She did not know what she could even do to help Ozul, but she still ran towards the Monster to ‘save’ him.

Blaze also mustered up his strength and ran right behind her. Like anyone would think that being the guy, he should try to stop Raven from approaching the Monster when they could not even do anything, Blaze had the opposite thought process!

Ozul had given Blaze his life; he had given him a purpose to live. He was not going to stop Raven, but join her!

In such a vast field, where even the individual at Rank-8 stood petrified looking at the ‘Oddity’, where corpses of Rank-6 and below were scattered around like some dirt-Raven, and Blaze, two Rank-5 existences advanced to face off against that giant ‘Abomination’!

The fire burning on the ground illuminated their figures, revealing their cold gazes that were fixed on the giant 8 meters tall Monster.

They did not care if they could change anything by fighting; all the duo had in mind was that they were supposed to assist Ozul!

The survivors of the earlier clashes looked weirdly at the duo. They had the same looks on their faces when they had seen Ozul dash towards the Monster.

It was at this moment when Duke Edwin also decided to get out of his stupor and moved tens of meters back. He was afraid to the point that his hand was still shaking, but he chose not to leave the scene just yet.

He had a feeling that he might miss something if he left right now. Also, he was confident that he could escape if push comes to shove because of his Magical Tools.

At this moment, he sneered while looking at the figures running towards that giant ‘Anomaly’. Edwin had also seen Ozul ‘being swallowed’ by the Monster, and he did not understand how these kids wanted to save their friend.

What would they do with a friend when they wouldn’t even keep their lives? Anyways, Edwin did not care about their lives; he would only save his own life in this situation.

Back to the duo, both of them were just tens of meters away from the Monster. Though just as they were advancing, something unusual happened.

The Monster, who was just increasing its energy reserves, suddenly stopped, and its body began to move weirdly.

Raven and Blaze were both alerted at its weird behavior. They did not know what to expect from an anomaly such as this.

*Schreeeeech!!!*

Again, an ear-splitting scream sounded out from that Monster, which nearly made Raven and Blaze’s ears bleed! Both of them had to put their hands on the ears to protect them from further damage.

All the surviving Mages and Fighters on the scene clenched their fists to prepare themselves for the upcoming disaster.

Nothing good happened when this ‘thing’ screamed, so everyone was expecting a disaster.

When everyone was just waiting for it to release some kind of energy wave and blast them away again, something unexpected happened. The giant 8 meters tall ‘Abomination’ suddenly started to melt?- But how, or instead just what happened!?

In a matter of seconds, all that viscous skin began to dissolve and melt down as if some chocolate ice-cream on a hot day!

*Pssssssss...*

The skin which hit the ground started to erode even the dirt! No one knew why the Monster’s surface suddenly became so toxic, but they did not care about it at this moment.

Because at this instance, they could not see anything clearly due to the night time and the smoke all around, but they heard some sound where the Monster previously stood!

What was it now?...
