'This creature…could use gravity?' He muttered to himself with utter disbelief and deep shock that sent his body into a frenzy. He even lost the resistance in his body that he tried to muster to save his and Leislet's life.
In a matter of a few moments, they were back inside the room, their bodies didn't immediately stop and they hit the wall roughly.
Acht felt the air escape his lungs and his eyes widened with surprise. Then, he fell down along with Leislet who was in a bad shape too but she was faring better than him since she was way stronger.
She stood up first and looked at the wand in her hands. It was now bent like a metal pipe hit by a truck at full speed. It should've been impossible since the wand was made of an extremely sturdy wood but it somehow happened.
She then looked at what pulled them inside again and closed the only exit of this place for them. Her eyes were full of horror as they gazed at the abnormal entity floating calmly in front of them.
He was a man, or so his appearance says, but Leislet knew that he was far from being a human let alone a man. His most striking features are his extremely long silver hair and his extremely beautiful body that looked as if it was sculpted by the gods themselves. It was just beyond anything that could exist in this world.
His face was extremely handsome and lacked anything that could be called an 'imperfection'. There were also some weird tattoos that resemble ancient runes running through his torso and to his back. They were some kind of ancient language and they carried an ominous feeling to them.
His crimson red eyes that lacked any human emotions looked at them from above like a god of some sort that was about to punish puny humans.
He didn't seem to be intending to talk or show any kind of expression. He just kept gazing at them like a statue. But, what Leislet discovered after a moment was that he wasn't looking at them both. He was only looking at Acht who finally mustered the strength to stand up.
He then looked at his left hand which had a big bruise covering most of it. He had hit his hand when he struck the wall so it was now injured and he could've potentially broken it. That was how strong the impact was.
He then shifted his eyes to the thing that was in front of him. He had somehow the same reaction to Leislet but also different at the same time.
The entity didn't lose focus as he looked at him and only him.
Seeing those eyes, Acht immediately discovered something important.
'The thing that kept whispering to me since I came to this dungeon was this creature.' He thought as he squinted his eyes.
The pain in his head was still there but it subsided enough for him to hold himself up without losing balance.
After standing silent for a few seconds, the entity finally made a move. He started approaching them while keeping himself up in the air.
Immediately, the duo grew extremely wary and they held themselves in a fighting position even though they knew that resistance was useless.
The entity ignored that and kept approaching them, slowly and steadily. Then, when he was close enough, extended his hand to the front.
Instantly, Acht felt his body lose control and he started floating in the air without any influence from his side.
He didn't wait and immediately used gravity to make himself land again. What he discovered, however, was quite surprising but also predictable. He couldn't make himself land on the ground no matter how much he made the gravity around him stronger, he still moved closer and closer to the creature.
Leislet didn't stand idly either, she grabbed Acht and tried to pull him with all of her strength.
But, nothing could stop him from moving. So, Leislet decided to do another thing. She looked at the creature and dashed at him with a loud shout that helped to give her the courage to attack the monstrous being.
When she reached him, she used her light element and tried to attack him with it. Her only bet was that he may be vulnerable to her light element since he could be a monster like orcs.
But, she soon came to know how naive her thoughts were…extremely na?ve!
The entity didn't even look at her and just swung his hand casually. However, what was considered casual for him was akin to the speed of light for Leislet. Without even seeing what hit her, she was sent flying like a ragdoll and smashed against another wall, destroying it to smithereens and creating a huge hole in it.
"UGGHHH!!!" She groaned in pain as she vomited blood from her mouth along with the breath in her lungs.
Then, she landed on the ground roughly. Her body felt so painful and paralyzed that it took her a few seconds to regain control of her limbs.
During that time, Acht was already close enough for the creature to grab him by the neck. The boy felt his neck get squeezed like a lemon and he immediately started suffocating.
He squirmed around frantically while looking for anything that could help him.
'Ugh…What should I do..think Acht..think!'
Then, his eyes suddenly fell on something not that far away from him. It was a shard of the crystal that was trapping the creature.
He didn't hesitate as he pulled it with his gravity and held it tightly in his hand. Then, he slashed at the creature's face. He thought that if this thing was trapped inside that crystal then this thing could be able to harm him.
*SWISH*
Luckily, the attack hit the creature's face. However, it didn't do any lethal damage since the monster evaded at the last second by casually moving his head to the side.
Then, he looked at Acht coldly with blood dripping from his cheek.
