Chapter 4 ~ He protected you

-3 days later since discovering the mystical sword...-

"Why the monster here is so tough!?" Chasing breath...

"Of course! We are now on the lowest floor of the abyss, just think about it you moron!."

'She's really didn't like me at all *sigh* but, I'm surprised that I'm still alive. The monster here is almost an SSS+. Even an entire elite squad would not able to defeat them.

"By the way. Eleina, why are you here?"

"As you already know. I just look like a stick. Without the power you possessed, I will not be refined into a fine sword and will be able to use my human form. I also have a question for you?" Serious gaze.

"What is it?" Backing off.

"Why the shape of my sword form, is a thin and a little curve sword?" She's, even more, look curious.

*sigh* "I'm from the Outside of this world. That is what we called KATANA."

"Ohhhhhh! Then because you answer my question. I will reward you."

She slowly approaches and kisses Yuki.

"Wha-what the heck!... I will get arrested because of what have you done!" 'She's teasing me a lot!.'

"Fu Fu Fu... you're really cute. You know?"

'Yup! She's teasing me.'

A monster came from behind them. Yuki able to feel its presence and able to dodge

"Eleina!" Yuki called eleina.

"Ok...Goshujin-sama." Eleina respond.

*transform into a weapon.*

[Goshujin-sama try to put some fire mana on me.] Eleina suggest.

[What do you mean?] Didn't want to do it.

[Just do it...]

The katana has been engulfed by Yuki's flames.

"Wh-what!" I'm really surprised that Eleina's energy becomes more powerful." *Shocked*

[That's what is the kissed for *tehee*.]

*dash* *vanish*

"Let me slice you up." Yuki charged on the monster.

*swosh*

'In one swing, it cut its head and now the body is burning! Isn't this kinda overpowered?'

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

"That was easy!." Swipe sweat while chasing his breath

'She transforms in a human form again. But, her armed got burned, it looks like a curse!'

"WHAT HAPPEN TO YOUR ARM?" Yuki's worried.

"It's, ok. It will be healed up later"

"Eleina tell me! Where that came from?" Mystify expression

*sigh* "I'm a lot weaker when you saw me. This will happen every time you put mana on me."

"Then let's not do that." *smiled*

"But...if we didn't do it, we will die inside this abyss." Her words are Uncomfortable.

"But your life is my priority..so, let just find another way" Yuki trying to comfort eleina.

"O-Ok..."

After 23 days of fighting inside the abyss. they almost cleared up haft of it. Yuki is always badly injured. But, he didn't use the mana. Because eleina is the one who will suffer.

"Eleina, your skin has cut"

"It's Ok. The durability and sharpness of the sword that the monster use is far better than mine." Trying to hide the pain.

"We didn't know how many days with been here, I think it's almost 1 month that we're inside. but I think the enemy will be easier now."

"Y-yeah, your rig--" Eleina lost her consciousness.

Yuki tries to wake eleina up. But eleina didn't respond at all. Yuki just lifts eleina on his back and continued to walk up.

They encountered a lot of enemies in the way, and Yuki fought them alone. Eleina is still not waking up for 5 days.

"When did you going to wake up?"

Eleina opens up her eyes, and saw Yuki full of wounds, and bleeding, while she is still riding on his back.

"Yuki., why you didn't use me?" Immediately asked.

"Huh?.. your asleep you know?"

"But you can use me as your sword still"

"Remember? When you're asleep. Your more fragile, what if you broke!?" Yuki's serious face makes eleina scared.

"B-but... your life is more important than my life, you're my master now. You know that!" Almost going to cry.

"Don't worry, we will be able to escape this. Also how many years you've been here. You should at least feel the life of being alive, and being a human, right?"

His word calmed eleina'a heart, but when they are closed to the exit of the abyss. The boss of the abyss shows up in front of them. Eleina's feet collapsed as they didn't expect that the strongest monster will be on the easiest floor.

"Y-Yuki..what do we do now.," *shivering* "you should use your mana on me.."

Yuki put mana on eleina and attack, but they just got blew away once he hit up the monster.

"Tsk... His body is though! eleina why you so scared? Isn't it's only the boss here, and you're a legendary weapon."

[T-that monster...is the one who killed my previous master...] Eleina is terrified.

"This will be our grave....*sigh* it's really a good adventure we have."

[Goshujin-sama! You can escape here, I can fight on human form, then escape here!] Eleina decides to save his master this time.

"That's a good idea" Yuki agreed.

Inside of the mind of eleina, a satisfaction that she will be able to save Yuki. 'I can save my master this time. My previous master throws me away and fights the monster alone, so he can save my life. But, this time I will save him.'

she's ready to die, when suddenly she has been thrown into the outside of the door, and let her take her human form.

"What?.." she tried to stand up and get back. But, her body can't move, Yuki stares at her while the hand of the monster is stuck on his chest.

"Eleina!.. li-ve on! And feel the lif-e of being alive. *cough*Not as a tool, but as a hu-man."

Yuki's body has been torn off and the door closed. Eleina can't speak and move because of what she saw. Her body collapsed and started to cry.

"Y-Yuki...why? Why you choose to save me?. I failed to protect one important person to me again. Why? You choose me to live than your life." She started to cry and punch the door to open it again, but it didn't respond. She didn't give up and didn't leave the door of the abyss labyrinth. Even 3 days already passed, she' still at the door crying.

The 8 goddesses of elements inside Yuki's body discussed if they should accept the little kid as their master.

"I can't believe it! A human choose to save a weapon spirit, than his own life!" The element of ice.

"Your right, now I'm thinking if we should help him." The element of shadow.

"He proved enough that he's ready to give off his life to the one he loves, but now, even a mere spirit weapon. He saves him." The element of earth.

"I will accept him as my master!" The element of wind.

Everyone accepts Yuki as their master and Yuki's body, been healed once again. Yuki's woke up, inside of the 9 different elements protecting him from the monster.

"What did just happen?" He's confused about what he saw.
