Chereads / Life Set on Stone (A HPMF) / Chapter 22 - Kaizen— 5

Chapter 22 - Kaizen— 5

ELENA POV—

Suddenly, a huge explosion occurred, blowing me away from my spot. I crashed on the ground with a sickening thud. With much difficulty, I tried to open my eyes. My vision was blurry and my ears were ringing. I rubbed my eyes to disperse the blurriness in my eyes. I have to find Liam.

 

Somehow, I stood up on my feet. The monster was not visible anywhere near me. That means it either got decimated into ashes or blown away, I don't give a fuck to it. My main objective is to find Liam.

 

I started to search my surroundings for any sign of Liam. Upon spotting him, a few metres away from him, I rushed towards him.

 

I shouted, 'Liam!!' I crouched down and took him in my arms. His eyes were closed. His skin was burnt from the impact.

 

'Liam!! Wake up! Wake up, buddy,' I sobbed and shook him with my all might. Fuck! He is not responding. He was neither breathing nor got any pulse. No! No! No! I gave him CPR but it was not working. Fuck, why the heck it is not working? I tried gain but it was futile.

 

'Stay with me buddy. You are not g-going to leave me. Not now, not like this. We have so much to do. We are going to Hogwarts. I-I am going to start my own industries and... I am going to make you the mascot. No, f-forget about the mascot stuff. I am going to... make you the owner of one of my industries. Yes-yes, I will do it. I promise to never bully you again and also, I am not going to stop s-stop you from eating chocolates. J-just don't leave me please,' I sobbed. He can't leave me, not like this. It's my fault; I should have never forced him to come here. It's my fault, all my fault. I was sobbing loudly. Someone like me, who rarely cares for anyone, was feeling devastated. It was because I got too comfortable in this universe, this fucking Marvel. I was feeling as if my past life, Misha Cliff is mocking me, for getting so soft. I don't care if I have become soft. What I care is about Liam. I don't want him to leave me.

 

'LIAMM!!!!'

 

'Could you stop your crying?' said a very familiar voice.

 

I looked at Liam to see him looking back at me. I yelled, 'Liam!! You are alive. Thank goodness!'

'Yeah, I am alive, so stop your moaning. You are hurting my ears.'

I asked, 'But how? You were not breathing and you certainly had no pulse.'

 

'Apparently your yapping brought me back to the land of living. Ah, just as I thought I got rid of you.' I hugged him tightly just for him to hug me back.

 

'I-I am... g-glad that you are a-alive.'

 

Liam chuckled weakly and said, 'It's ok. Stop crying. Crying does not suit you.' I wiped my tears.

 

'Also, I heard what you were saying. I am—'

 

'Wait! For how long you were acting?'

 

Liam gulped and said, 'I-I was—'

 

'You were fooling me weren't you.' I pinched his ears.

 

'Ow!! Ow!! Stop it! You promised that you won't bully me. Be a lady and keep your promise.'

 

Promise! He is saying about promise. It got discarded the moment I knew he was fooling me. Suddenly, a familiar roar was heard across the forest.

 

'ROAARRRR!!!!!' So, it's still alive. Fucking great! Even that explosion didn't kill it. Hmmm, so then I need a bigger explosion than this.

 

'Eloise, leave me and run.'

 

'Just shut up and take some rest in your pocket dimension,' Liam wanted to disagree to my words but I stopped him, 'don't say anything. Take rest and let me handle this monster. I promise I won't die. Besides, if I die, you die as well. Believe me, I can handle it. Also, come out of your pocket dimension when I call your name, do not come out randomly, understood?'

 

Begrudgingly, Liam nodded and entered his pocket dimension, leaving me to handle this. Thank God, his pocket dimension was still working. Let's go time to finish this monster. I have a plan.

 

'Oi! Monster, I am here, come here. I am going to destroy you, hear that,' I yelled drawing its attention.

 

'ROAARRRR!!!!' Man, it's getting boring. Say something new. I am bored, my audience is bored. Within a few seconds, the monster entered my view and roared, just as I wanted.

 

I took out the polythene bag from my pocket and used tracker magic on it.

 

{Magie du traqueur}

 

The bag started to levitate and move in the direction of phosphorous trees. I started to run after it. It roared again and followed after me.

 

Monster, you made a fucking mistake. You were the reason that my friend almost died. So, I am going to kill you. I will attain vengeance, for both of us, me and Liam. Your death will be painful, I promise you that. I am not some shounen protagonist who will show mercy to someone who tried to kill me and my best friend.

 

Dodging all of its attack, I ran after the polyethene bag in the hopes of finding phosphorus trees. If that explosion didn't kill it, then this explosion will. I am going to blow it up.

 

Running for at least 15 minutes, I was almost near at the end of the forest. Just as I was going to give up, I saw the similar greenish-white glow in the leaves of the trees. I ran towards it. Ok, time to set my plan to action. God, help me survive. The monster appeared in front of me and raised its head in the similar way as before and it attacks through its left head. Hmmm, this monster has some sort of time limit. If I give it the time to attack, it certainly will kill me. I don't have any way to survive, if it attacks. I have to capitalize it.

 

{Racines de bois}

 

I channelled more of my energy into this spell. Countless roots shot out from the ground, moving upwards and binding its mouth and stopping it from releasing its attack. Quick, I have to be quick. I conjured some swords and threw it in direction of the trees. The swords penetrated the trunks of the trees. The monster almost broke through the bindings around its mouth.

 

{Boules de feu maximale}

 

With my maximum power, I called forth 10 large fireballs. I calmly gazed at the monster and said, 'Bye, have a bad, very bad afterlife. If you have any, I mean.'

 

I shot the fireballs towards the trees. A series of explosions started, almost like a chain reaction. I started to run in order to get out of the forest. The blasts from the explosions hit the monster. The monster howled because of pain. A sense of satisfaction coursed through my body. Due to plot armour, I safely got out of the forest. Getting out, I stopped at a few metres from away from the forest. The whole forest was burning and the noise from the explosions could be heard. Along it, the painful screeching of monster could also be heard. It was like a cherry on top of the cake. As I said before, I will attain vengeance and your death would be painful.

 

'ROAAAARRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' By some means, the monster came out of the forest. It was burning and howling in pain.

 

After some minutes, the screeching stop and it dropped dead in front of me with a loud thud. Its dead body was rapidly turning into ashes. Within a few seconds, the only thing left was ash. I sighed and took a deep breath. Looking at its remains, I smirked. Time to continue my journey.

 

As I was moving head, I saw something glowing in the ashes. What is it? Is it not dead? No, that's impossible. Infront of me are its remains. Then, it is something different. I used a wind spell to remove the ashes from that thing to find out it to be an orange object.

 

My eyes widened in recognition; it was a core. I got a fucking core. Yes! Yes! Yes! Take that Ollivander. I have finally got the first ingredient for my wand.

 

'Again, fuck you, Ollivander! Shove that wand of yours in your ass as if it is a dick from Dumbledore. You motherfucker!' I yelled, loudly. Honestly, that felt nice.
