Chapter 245 Won't let go
Jormungand's figure who had caused so much turmoil, watched intently from a distance. His injuries were apparent as he even didn't have the energy to stand up, yet his attention was fixated on Alva's transformation.
As the liquid energy continued to seep from his mouth, a maelstrom of thoughts swirled within him. He had initially planned to replace Alva, recognizing the power she possessed, but now, witnessing the extent of her changes, doubts began to creep into his mind.
"She is becoming a monster, far beyond anything we can control, both Nikol and I have better control over our power and the laws stop us from going too crazy because we are natural apocalypse, but her-" He paused for a minute as he saw the most unexpected thing he saw.
Gently laying the girl down in a safe spot, Nikol turned his full attention to Alva. The air crackled with energy as her transformation reached its zenith. Her form expanded, her features elongated, and her eyes glowed with an otherworldly light.
She lost her ability to talk and the ability to sense things around her.
To her, it felt like the abyssal that kept swallowing her but her heart was at peace.
"Finally! Finally, I let Nikol heal that girl, she won't die anymore, now I can give up on this pressure I feel at peace," She muttered those words to herself since in her mind she was not caring about her own life. To her Nikol and the other girl's life mattered more than anything. Upd𝒂ted chapters 𝒐n n𝒐velbin(.)com
It was a sight that both mesmerized and unnerved Nikol, for he knew that whatever emerged from this metamorphosis would be a force to be reckoned with.
"I need to be with her," He slowly got close to her and held her.
As Nikol stepped closer, his heart pounded with a mix of fear and determination. He had witnessed Alva's strength and resolve, and he believed in her potential not to give up.
But to his surprise, he felt a strange attraction like he was getting invited by Alva, and he didn't hesitate.
"I'm sorry everyone, but I won't leave anyone, especially someone that is in front of me, I don't know what will happen, but I will be with her throughout this whole thing," He whispered those words without any hesitation while reaching out a hand to touch her shimmering skin.
The moment their skin made contact, a surge of energy coursed through his veins, connecting them on a profound level. Images flooded his mind—visions of battles fought, sacrifices made, and a future teetering on the precipice of chaos.
They had visions of the past and present but not the mere future.
In that instant, Nikol knew that their paths had merged, that they were bound together by more than circumstance. They were intertwined by a shared purpose.
All three of them knew this is the birth of a third apocalypse, but the question was whether it would be good or bad and what the mysterious world laws would do sensing this presence that shouldn't be on this land.
Nikol's existence was already enough for it to at least destroy this world and recreate it, so people won't know about the presence of the beings like them and Jormungand knew things will only get interesting from here onward.
Nikol whispered words of encouragement to Alva, his voice carrying the weight of their intertwined destinies, as he kept embracing her body.
"Alva, can you hear me? I will be with you, don't give up, fight against whatever you're going through, I want to see you again and go back to our normal life, so don't give up,"
His words came from the pure desperation, but then he noticed the liquids that kept changing Alva suddenly started to invade his body as he watched her body change from a human look to something that looked like a crystal.
As the merging continued, Nikol's body began to exhibit subtle changes. His skin shimmered with a faint luminescence, and a newfound strength coursed through his muscles. He could sense the world around him fading into the darkness just like what Alva experienced.
"Are they combining? No! No! This can't be happening, she's my sacrifice," Jormungand witnessing the horror quickly got up forgetting about his own weakness and run toward Nikol, who was getting enveloped by Alva's liquid.
"Get away from her! Nikol, stop interfering with my plans, you and I both will be free if you give her up, get away from her, "He shouted but Nikol just looked at him with a smug look.
"Too late!" As soon as he muttered those words, his whole body got enveloped by the crystal causing Jormungand to attack the crystal but nothing happened instead he was repelled by the crystal denying his touch, which caused Jormungand to almost die which brought hope to his face but then he realised how bad it would be for him if he dies when he is the apocalypse that laws identify.
"I can't die yet If I die now, I will be brought back to life, I don't want that, what I seek is a perfect death, that I need to sacrifice one of the two, but right now-" He looked at the crystal and he didn't know what he was supposed to do, but he knew things has to change.
Meanwhile, inside the empty space, Alva's confusion was palpable as she took in her surroundings. She had expected darkness to continue and the pain to embrace her, but instead, she found herself in a surreal and beautiful ocean with stars above her head.
As she took hesitant steps forward, Alva could feel the cool, weightless sensation of the water beneath her feet. It seemed to embrace her, cradling her with a sense of peace she had never experienced before. She gazed down into the depths of the ocean, marvelling at the vibrant hues of dark blues that danced in harmony.
A gentle breeze brushed against her skin, whispering secrets from distant galaxies. It carried a soothing melody that resonated with her soul, filling her with a profound sense of belonging. Alva closed her eyes, allowing the symphony of the cosmos to envelop her entirely.
As she stood there, with the vastness of the ocean extending beyond the horizon, Alva's confusion began to fade.
The crystal that now encapsulated her form emitted a soft, otherworldly glow, casting shimmering reflections on the walls and she felt two cold hands embracing her from behind, which almost caused her to jump forward in fear, but when she saw who those hands belong to her, she felt her heart beating so fast.
"Nikol?" she called out, her voice echoing through the void. "What's happening? Why are you here? Where are we?"
Nikol emerged out of nowhere, his appearance altered by the merging process. His eyes gleamed with a mixture of curiosity and determination as he approached Alva.
"We've merged, Alva," he said, his voice holding a touch of awe. "I can feel your thoughts, your emotions, everything."
He said those words almost like he had no regrets about joining Alva, but Alva didn't have any idea of what was happening to her or Nikol so she decided to depend on Nikol at least for now.
