Chapter 35 To The Surface
Huh!!!
It didn't seem like my body has caught on fire yet.
But, it still felt hot as I craved for water while I repetitively channelled my magical energy through it.
"Drip!!" "Drip!!!"
There it was again. As though there was a dribbling leaking tap that hung in the air on top of my face, but my eyes were too dizzy and my head too unfocused to figure out what it was.
"ROARRR!!"
That was the Tiger whale's voice again. What was he saying again?
I don't know!! My mind was too disjointed to understand what he meant.
But It seems that I am channelling my current emotions and thought to both of them.
'Let go' A thought found its way to my enclosed spiral mess of mental disunity.
What does he mean by letting go?
Can't you see that if I let go of what I am doing, I might die due to my body burning apart from the inside out?
'Let go'.
My thoughts paused. My mind went blank as it focussed on the only stable thought it could read out completely.
Haaa!!!
Completely ceasing my control over the mana in my body, I collapsed on the ground as I felt my body turn weak together with the severe heat and dehydration vanishing into thin air.
It was as though everything that had happened was only a figment of my imagination.
"HAAHH!!" "HAAAHH!!!"
But my drenched clothes and uneven breathing assured me that it wasn't.
"Drip!!" "Drip!!!"
There it was again.
I was previously too disordered in my thoughts to understand what the wet liquid dripping on my face was, but my current mind quickly processed the answers and gave them to me.
Quickly getting back control of my body, I turned around, lying back first on the hard lump of flesh as I looked up above me, waiting for my vision to stabilize itself completely.
And soon, it did. My vision got clearer, and all I could above me way…..
A huge ball of water.
A huge spherical ball of water was held in the air by an invisible force above me as droplets of water trickled down against my face from its surface.
Before it was fire, now it was water.
I guess that possessing 'Elemental magic' gives me access to all the elements then.
Though I could guess that they had to be some restrictions, but I would rather find someone knowledgeable about ascendants, their ranks and mana than confirm it by myself to see if there weren't any.
And I would have to halt my plans of taming a beast till I have found that someone.
Before it was fire, now water. Which meant that the next would either be earth or air.
I wouldn't want to suddenly find my six deep below the earth or render my lungs devoid of any air for me to breathe, killing myself in the process.
So I would have to slow down on my beast-taming opportunities for now.
"Drip!!" "Drip!!"
Although, I liked that my body which was previously set ablaze from the inside out was now quenched and calm, but the water would be more effective if I could bathe myself in it too and relieve my body of the stress...
"SSPLLAAAASSSHHH!!!!"
"Haaaa!!! Cough!!! Cough!!!" I stood up because the water had surprisingly collapsed on my body and had found its way into my nose and mouth, choking me in the process.
"Cough!!! I said bath not drown".
"Squeak!!" "Squeak!!!"
Looking down as I felt Bones's emotions together with his voice, I couldn't help but pat the little guy on his head as a way to remind myself that I wasn't dead yet.
But if I kept on going through this same process at this rate, I might die before I even understand what was going on.
"ROAARRR!!!!"
Yeah, you too big guy!!
"Thanks for the help, you did a good job!!!".
No matter how natural I tried to make it seem, petting a man-eating whale from the insides of its stomach didn't look as natural as I had imagined it to be
"Ahem!! Let's get out of here first" I said as I stood up, quickly storing the book into its storage space before proceeding to do the same to Bones.
I didn't need to ask the little guy to know if he would rather spend time with me here as I scaled through the belly of my new tamed beast belly or go into the book's temporary space storage.
His answer was obvious even before I thought of the question.
"Here we go" I said as I jumped from one lump of flesh to another, making my way up to the beast's mouth.
….....
"Hah! Hah!! Remember me to never dive into the throat of an enormous beast again. This should be the last one" I said while trying to keep myself stable on the squishy enormous tongue below me.
I haven't thought of a name for her yet because climbing from the insides of my newly tamed beast didn't in any way help me generate the inspiration I needed to come up with a fitting name.
So I had to put it off until I could no longer smell the rotten fish she had eaten for breakfast, or watch how her body breaks them down to form whale poop.
Yes, she was a she, not a he.
Not that the diversity in one's portfolio matters in this world. But hey! I wasn't one to complain as long as the fish was worth the catch.
Channelling my thoughts, into her mind, I informed her that I was currently in her mouth and waited for her reply.
'Alright, I will wait for you to get to the surface first' I thought, sending her back my reply.
It didn't take any longer than five minutes before I could feel the enclosure of her mouth opening up as the fresh sea breeze clashed against my face, while I shielded my eyes away from the harsh rays of the sun.
