Chapter 99- Anomaly In The Deep (Part 3)

Kai\'s vision turned upside down as he felt the coldness of the frozen water engulfs his body. Without hesitation, he channeled his Origin powers to protect himself from the coldness. However, even with that, swimming in this extremely low temperature wasn\'t a good feeling at all.

What made it worse was the fact that Kai saw it clearly before the darkness of the sea clouded his eyes.

\'The boat broke. Tsk… This is annoying!\' He cursed inwardly before he twisted around, adjusting his position to take a look around.

Although he was technically still close to the surface of the water, the darkness of the waters was chilling, to say the least. It was as if he was just thrown into a completely different world. A world where light doesn\'t exist.

The first thing he did was to scout the area searching for Eva. Luckily, she wasn\'t that far away from him so he quickly swam toward her.

On the other side, Eva had also regained her composure quickly. Before falling into the water, she was able to take a breath. Considering her training, that breath would be able to allow her to stay underwater for a good 15 minutes. But, keep in mind that 15 minutes is only possible when she doesn\'t move at all.

The more a human moves underwater, the faster their oxygen would deplete and that meant that if Eva was to fight whatever abomination was lurking in the darkness beneath them, she would only have around 7 minutes give or take.

\'Where is it? Reveal yourself, fucker!\' Eva looked around hurriedly. However, other than the abysmal scenery around her, there was no trace of the monster or the tentacles.

As she was about to move, she felt something grab her which made her turn around quickly. When she saw that it was only Kai, she instantly relaxed her tensed muscles.

The latter looked at her before he pointed at the surface. Eva understood what he meant. Then, she started rising to the surface.

"Bwah!! Kai!" The moment Eva reached the surface, she immediately called for Kai. The latter had also swam up with her.

"We don\'t have much time. We will have to kill this thing if we want to leave this place."

"What should I do?" She asked when she noticed that Kai had some kind of plan.

"I want you to try and catch its attention. Meanwhile, I will try to dive deeper so that I can hit the main bo-"

Before Kai could even finish his words, he felt something grab his leg before he was pulled down underwater violently.

\'Tsk…\' Clenching his teeth, Kai looked down at the huge tentacles surrounding his left leg. Quickly, he pulled his sword out and slashed down with great strength. Even when the water was fighting back, his speed and technique were still horrifying, to say the least.

With one swipe, he severed the tentacle into two, freeing himself easily. But, at the same time, another tentacle was already flying toward him.

\'How many does this thing have?\'

He was already in a bad position as it is, and now he had no way of dodging that tentacle. So, he immediately channeled his Origin and used Momentum Talent.

\'Reverse.\' He thought as he pointed his hand at the tentacle.

Immediately, the tentacle\'s movement halted as a huge explosion occurred in the opposite direction. A trail of turbulent water moved into the distance from the tentacle\'s initial position like a cyclone underwater.

Without wasting time, Kai slashed with his sword, cutting the tentacle successfully. Kai\'s face was turning colder and colder by the second. Because of the sudden attack, he had no time to take a long breath. He would\'ve wanted to take a breath but he knew that this creature won\'t allow him.

In fact, as he was constantly moving around, he could sense tentacles following him.

The situation could go from bad to horrible depending on what he would face the deeper he goes.

At the same time, Eva had already dived down. When she saw Kai being followed by those tentacles, she quickly activated her runic domain.

Instantly, numerous swords appeared around her before they were sent flying. Even underwater, the swords\' speed was impressive. The moment they made contact with the tentacles, they pierced their skin. Orange blood leaked out profusely from the weird limbs.

But, it didn\'t seem to have any immediate effect as the next second, the tentacles changed the target and flew toward Eva. The latter\'s face turned serious as she quickly swam away, luring the tentacles closer and closer toward her.

When Kai noticed that, he nodded his head before he changed his direction and dived deeper into the darkness. Even those that didn\'t fear the deep, abyss-like nature of the sea, would feel bone-chilling fear diving into this sea.

It wasn\'t simply dark or cold. It was a realm of enigmatic darkness that could suck you in if you weren\'t careful. That is ignoring the fact that something horrifying, straight out of dark fantasies lurked down there, waiting for someone or something to approach it so that it can suck it in.

Seconds passed as Eva tried to hold the tentacles as far away as possible while Kai continued his journey down. Ten meters, twenty meters, fifty meters, one hundred meters… The deeper he went, the colder and scarier it got.

\'Come on, where are you… Reveal yourself…\' He thought as he looked around with a frown on his face.

He could already feel his lungs quickly depleting from oxygen with each passing second. He also knew that Eva won\'t hold on for longer.

Kai\'s speed underwater was already mind-blowing as it is. He could easily rival extremely fast sea creatures in their own domain and yet he didn\'t think he was fast enough.

Eventually, he reached the 400 hundred meters mark. At this level, the pressure of the water was inhuman. Was it not for Kai\'s extremely sturdy body, he would\'ve been easily crushed and turned into meat paste.

The darkness was now blinding. He could see nor hear anything. So, all he could do was rely on his senses. Spreading them to the extreme, he searched for the monster\'s presence.

A few moments passed in eerie silence before Kai finally opened his eyes and dashed to the right without any hesitation.

Eventually, in the distance, he could hear something. The same hollow bell ringing that he heard at the surface. This time, it didn\'t sound painful. Rather, it was angry and impatient. Kai didn\'t even know how these seemingly monotonous sounds could convey such emotions.

As he closed on at the creature, he eventually could see a glimpse of it. This blinding darkness didn\'t completely get rid of Kai\'s eyesight since he could enhance it with Origin but it still obstructed his full vision.

However, even with that blurry view, it didn\'t diminish from the abomination he just witnessed. Now, in fact, that blurriness added a layer of bleak horror to its form. This was the first time in Kai\'s entire life that he had seen something so vile, so terrific that he could only look at it with a frown.

It was a complete and utter nightmare.
