UnderTéras

Chapter 16 Eliezer

Culte's POV

The battle had ended and I explained to Eliezer that the star indicated the ammount of time I've been alive for, something called LV and gave me the options to "Save, Continue, Load and Reset", I told her that I didn't know what "Load" nor "Reset" did because they were grayed out, unavailable for some reason but I did know what "Save" and "Continue" did, the former would heal my injuries and "Save a file", whatever that meant and "Continue" would simply exit the screen.

Eliezer: How... Intriguing...

She muttered pondering what this star was abd why only Culte could see it but we decided to drop the subject and have Gaster tend to Kallavan, Eliezer wanted to spend all night by his side but I refused to let that happen, it had been a long day, specially for her, not only was she still a little worn out from fighting but she lost her pupil, she needed proper rest so I drove us home with Kallavan's car

Once we got home Eliezer took a bath and went to bed without so much as saying a word

Culte: She's struggling...

I muttered under my breath, but right now I had no answers we had definitely taken a hit today, I needed to find a way to fix this and there was only one place where I could think clearly but before that there was something I had to do

I walked towards the rack that bore my 9 ring Broadsword, I took down the rack and there was a small vault, and inputted the password "7154129115", in there was my Stiletto, I put the rings back inside and reached for the knife, the last time I used it I did it against Kahill all because I needed to vent and replace Eliezer's love but this knife was much too significant for that, I slid my finger accross the edge and remembered all the lives it took during the war, but even before that was Carius and his family, the Mortyrs but it all began with that one genocide

Culte: ...

I remained silent for a minute, I felt nothing, for now, however, I got a hold of chains and wrapped them around the knife, I knew I would wield it again but the moment I did I knew I would let loose and completely revert back to my far more unhinged self

Culte: I can't wait

I muttered with an ever growing smile, once I was done I closed the vault and put the rack back in it's place and I jumped out the window, I traversed the rooftops and climbed up a skyscrapper and sat at the edge and thought, Kallavan was out of the game, it was safe to say that Divine had taken his place as 3rd strongest, I'd even go as far as saying that he's tied with Eliezer, that Rei guy would be 3rd or 4th given his powers which we weren't warned about, Kallavan would be 5th, Chara a distant 6th, Ezhil a close 7th and the Téras would go from 8th to 37th respectively

Culte: And meanwhile I remain as the undisputed number 1

I said but gritted my teeth

Culte: And yet I can't shake off this sense of dread in my gut!

I complained, I couldn't help but fear for Eliezer and Kallavan's lives, God knows that there'd be hell to pay if that happened, Kallavan had to stay out this, unfortunately, doing the same with Eliezer would be taking an unnecessary risk and she wouldn't listen either, thankfully, Gaster had 2 robots in the works, he wouldn't disappoint me

Culte: (Or so I hope...)

I thought to myself, regardless, I needed to get Eliezer's mind off things, probably with a date, maybe we could take Chara with us, I'd also have to talk to Gaster about repairing the base before The General finds out if he already hasn't and last but most importantly, I needed a new weapon, knives alone would not cut it anymore
