Chapter-120
—----------------
'This should be plenty' Yuno inwardly said this After activating his shikai, he has been trying to concentrate the darkness only on the blade rather than let the darkness spread outside of the blade
This will not only make his power more precise and dense but also ensure that none of the darkness will be near Lili
From his previous attempt of using Darkness, he understood that he can shape this darkness in any form he desires but it's also extremely taxing on his body especially if he wanna condense the darkness into a small form
'But this is really difficult' Yuno inwardly said this in his mind as right after activating his shikai, his whole body feels like he is lifting a very heavy thing that he hardly holds
Even though he has gravity powers from his previous template he still can't do anything to make that heaviness any better
So on top of that, controlling the darkness while his body has been taxed like this is really extremely hard to handle
'Even moving from this position is difficult but not impossible' Yuno said this in his mind because even though moving his feet is really tough but he has a technique that lets him use short-distance teleportation
"Yuno, you okay?" Lili asked this in a concerned tone as she looked towards Yuno who had been sweating a lot as well as she could see his whole body was trembling
Luckily the monster hasn't been spotted yet which is good since they have just arrived but it will change soon
Because the monster senses Yuno due to his shikai releasing so much power making the monster worry about him
*ROAR!!!*
Monster after seeing them, He lunged forward with a roar and his roar was too loud making Lili and yuno Ears hurt since both of their Ears are highly sensitive
Even though Lili managed to endure herself by covering her ears with her hands but its not the same case with Yuno
As his whole body is already struggling to stay still and both his hands are already holding his sword, covering his ears isn't possible
But to deal with this, he bit his tongue and gritted his teeth which helped him endure the sound
"At least now I dont need to move" Yuno muttered in a low tone to himself since the monster is already coming towards him saving him the trouble of using his skill
"Here goes nothing" Yuno said this next to himself while the monster came very near him as this is the chance for him to attack
*swoosh!*
With that Yuno swung his sword with all his might, as a slash was released in the form of complete darkness slashing through everything in its path
The monster got split into 2 pieces with ease after a slash passed through the monster, as the slash even went further to destroy the wall
Right after this, it was a moment of total silence because Yuno was already on the ground resting as he was so tired that he couldn't even celebrate the flawless victory
Meanwhile, Lili was too stunned by this as her whole body got frozen, she couldn't believe what she had just witnessed now, as it was too much for her brain to handle
"What!!!!!!!!!" Lili shouted this after a few seconds of pure silence as she couldn't believe what she was seeing at this moment
She looks at the monster in front of her which was split into 2 pieces and now it even begins to disintegrate leaving behind a big magic stone
"Yuno, that was amazing!!!" Lili said this as she looked at Yuno with bright shining eyes since even though she was very much shocked but she was also very much amazed by the power that Yuno just showed
"Haah…haa…i…ha…know…" Yuno speaks with difficulty as he is breathing heavily due to fatigue, and right now his blade is back to normal since now the blade is shining white again
"What happened to you?!" Lili asked, panicked as she ran to him after seeing his condition, she couldn't understand what had happened all of a sudden
She clearly remembered Even when he was holding that darkening, his body was trembling and he was very much sweating
"Haa.. .D-Dont worry, it….. just i… haa…got tired…. after using …haa…that power.." Yuno replied with difficulty as he told her not to worry about him and he would be okay after rest
*Phew~*
"I see" Lili said after releasing a sigh of relief knowing that Yuno isn't in any danger at all
'Wasn't he like this that time too?' Lili asked this in her mind remembering she found Yuno with Ais, That time she thought it was all Ais' fault but now she realised that it must be because he used this power that time too
"Can I do anything for you?" Lili asked me this question as she looks towards Yuno, wanting to do something for him who is right now in that condition
She couldn't help but feel sad about the fact that she couldn't do anything for him, She came here to help him fight but it seems he was capable enough to handle this in one attack
She wants to do something for him since due to him, her whole life has changed from bad to better, so she wanted to do something for him too
At the start, she was very weak as she also understood that she couldn't do anything while being weak but she is strong though she can help him but now she realised the big gap between them
"…Can…haa… you…ha.. bring me that..haa… magic stone" Yuno said this as he breathed heavily Since he wanna put that magic stone into his inventory and see its worth
He wants to know what he earns with that monster magic stone, he wants to know whether it is worth it or not
"Alright" Lili agreed to his request immediately and ran to pick up the magic stone from the ground where it dropped, and lili couldn't help but be surprised by the sheer size of this magic stone
'This is really big' Yuno also said this as he could sense the magic stone and the energy inside it, and he is very sure that it will be really worth it
After Lili brought the magic stone near him, Yuno put it inside his inventory as the magic stone completely disappeared
Lili was a little surprised about the fact that such a big magic stone disappeared all of a sudden but she remembered Yuno's skill, so she quickly calmed down
"Yuno let's head to the next floor and rest up" Lili said as she thinks it's not safe to rest here and it will be a lot better if they move to the next floor
'She is right' Yuno inwardly said this in his mind as he couldn't help but think what she said was right
Because he knew from Eina in the guild that the next floor is the 18th Floor, which is a safety point where no monsters are born, though some monsters can come up from the floors below. It is also called the Under Resort. The floor is filled with crystals and nature.
Large forests and lakes cover the floor. Within the forest are blue crystals of different sizes that reflect the light from above, causing the forest to be filled with a pale blue glow
The exceptionally high ceiling is filled with brilliantly shining crystals of two colours: white crystals in the centre that resemble the sun and blue crystals surrounding it that resemble the sky.
The amount of light from the crystals depends on the time and cycles throughout the day.
He also knows that there is a town made by adventurers located on the 18th Floor of the Dungeon
And on the eastern side of the island, facing the lake, stands the city of Rivira. It is located 200 meters above the lake on a cliff. Level 2 adventurers would need to be extremely capable to reach this floor solo
Which is why he thinks he can take proper rest without any worries as well as on a comfortable bed there
"Can…. yo-you…haa.. help… m-me ….to get me…. th-there…. haa..?" Yuno asked this request to Lili as right now he can't really move himself, so he will really appreciate it if she helps
"Of course!!" lili replied to Yuno in an out-loud tone as she immediately agreed to his request without any second thoughts
Because she was happy that he really asked for her help even though the task might be very small still she was still very happy about it since this was might first time asking her for help
With that, Lili moved forward towards Yuno and tried to pick him up with her arms but due to the height difference it was quite difficult
"I j-just…. need… an...h-hand..haa" Yuno said this with difficulty as he realised how Lili was helping him, so he corrected her and explained what he meant by help
