Cosmic Ruler - Chapter 111

Chapter 111: Tista

Jake looked at the red juicy strawberries like fruit in his hand and felt depressed.

‘The only time when I decided to not use Akashic eyes, I ended up like this’ he sighed and washed his hands and then looked at Ashen Elf.

” Master, you are immune to poison” She replied seeing him giving her looks.

“…. I asked you to bring fruits for her” Jake said with a weird look.

” She is just a vermin master, there is no need to take care of her” Ashen elf snorted as she looks at Tista.

Tista flinched seeing her glaring at her, the trauma of her heart getting pierced by her still lingering on her mind.

Seeing her getting scared of her, he mentioned Ashen Elf to leave.

Causing ashen elf to glare at Tista more as she left.

” Don’t worry about her, my servants are too passionate in serving me” Jake said as he assured her.

Tista nodded and then thanks Jake for saving her.

Jake gave an awkward laugh as it was his undead who injured her in the first place.

” Please help us! ”

Jake mind was brought back from Tista unexpected words.

” Us? ”

” There are more survivors? ” Jake asked and then thought it’s normal as other survivors would be Moon Elf too.

” Yes there are, our clan tried to save as much as we could” Tista said.

” But now we are running out of supplies, so we have to scavenge for food but, Eldritch usually roam and we can’t show ourself to them, although they can’t sense our life energy but when ever they see us they now attack us” Tista said as she started crying.

Jake patted her back and let her cry and then asked Nexus if he could do something about it.

[I think of a reason why Eldritch attacked them despite them hiding their life aura]

“Yes it’s probably due to Eldritch energy that have seeped into the atmosphere, it is rendering their disguise useless” Myne said too.

Jake nodded and then said ‘ so if I secure a place where there is no Eldritch energy they will be safe? ”

[Technically yes but that will be temporary solution]

“Even with your prowess you can only form a barrier for 3 years and given the time difference between this world and yours its even less”

Hearing them Jake nodded and then decided to use this temporary solution first.

As for long term cure he can use the time bought by temporary solution to find one.

[You have two ways first reach S rank, which is possible for you when you start killing and raiding numerous gates and kill the creatures and level up, this would allow you to reach S rank in short time probably in 3 months]

” Though this will cause many unkind gazes to linger on you” Myne said

Jake sighed as usually the higher you reach the longer it takes to breakthrough and him suddenly speeding up can raise many eyebrows.

[Don’t worry about it we can always say you were lucky enough to come across a natural treasure]

[Though such fast leveling up might weaken your foundation]

” Which we can’t afford” Myne said and Nexus nodded.

[This leads us to second solution which is system quest]

” He or she might have known of them or this situation” Myne said as her voice sounded fear ful.

Jake was taking care of Tista so he didn’t focused too much on it.

” Hmm, he might have given the quest knowing this situation ” Jake agreed with Myne and then said to Tista.

“Actually I am helping this world already” Hearing him Tista stopped crying, she sniffed as she looks at Jake with teary face.

” What do you mean? “She asked.

” I have a way to seal those cracks as well as remove the eldritch energy, in fact the reason I was here to seal the crack in the underground of this kingdom” Jake said.

Tista tilted her head and then sensed the surrounding energy and exclaimed as there is not a single drop of Eldritch energy anymore.

And this kingdom was overflowing with it just few hours earlier.

She looks at Jake and then asked as her voice quivers ” I-is this… This purification your doing? ”

Jake looked at her eyes which were overflowing with hope.

Jake nodded and Tista started crying once again and this time she hugged him.

Jake felt his shirt getting wet as if he has taken a shower with his shirt on.

‘ is this woman made of water? ‘ Jake thought seeing his shirt already soaking with her tears and now reaching his pants.

Jake sighed and let her do whatever she wants.

After an hour Jake looked at Tista who is sleeping peacefully while he is soaked from head to toe.

” She is definitely made of water” Jake shook his head and then coming outside he removed his clothes and took a dip in the pond.

The pond water was as clear as filtered water due to only plants inhabiting it and no aquatic animals.

Jake looked around and felt the beauty of nature as he looks at the serene atmosphere, he is dipping in lake under the light shade of trees.

” The only thing missing is chirping of birds” Jake closes his eyes and mumbles.

Chirp~

Chirp~

Tweet~

Jake opened his eyes puzzely as he heard the chirping birds.

“Don’t, just enjoy” But just as he was about to fully open them Myne stopped him.

Jake closed his eyes once again and enjoyed the sounds.

He soon fell asleep and Nexus made sure he didn’t accidentally activates the Sleep slip.

While after an hour Tista wakes up again and looked around, and sighs as she didn’t saw Jake.

” So it was an dream” She muttered depressingly.

Tista then shook her head and stretched but then stiffened as from corner of her eyes she saw fluttering clothes of Jake.

” It wasn’t a dream ” She mumbled as tear streamed down her face… Yes, she again started crying.

Wiping her face she came out of the shed and looked at bare chested Jake sleeping inside the pond while golden energy birds sung lullaby for him.

She then started to walk towards him but as she was 10 meters away from him, a golden bird looked at him and spoke ” Don’t disturb him” It was Myne voice.

The golden birds are her creations, she made it so that Jake can fully enjoy this nature bath.

” Let him rest, he will help you once he wakes up” Myne said to Tista and Tista although curious about the golden birds, nodded and sat under a tree some distance from him.

She then looks at Jake clothes fluttering in wind and remembered it was her who wetted them in the first place.

She then stood up and ran to Royal palace of this kingdom and reaching the palace wardrobe ahe selected the best looking clothes for Jake, she took many sets of them as she doesn’t know Jakes taste.

Tista then also picked some fruits and using the utensils from Palace she prepared a light meal for Jake.

After having all things ready she returned to Pond side, she then set up a table under a big tree shade.

And waited for Jake to wake up.

Myne who was watching all of this nodded and then she sent some golden birds to unknown locations.

After three hours of sleep Jakes eyes fluttered open he looked around and stretched, ” I guess I fell asleep ” He mumbled and then looks at his back where he finds many sets of clothes as well as towel.

” It was that Elf girl” Jake hearing Myne voice looked at the golden bird.

” I see, it was good you stopped me Or I wouldn’t have been able to get such good sleep” Jake said to golden bird.

” No need to thank me, I am enjoying following you too” Myne replied and then all the golden birds dissolved into molts of light.

Jake chuckled as Myne while dissolving her birds give away a show as golden glitters bathed the pond and trees.

Jake then taking the towel wipes his body and then looks at the various sets of clothes.

” Elves way of clothing is really weird” He looks at the clothes and yet wore them.

” Fortunately there is no more people alive in this world or it would have been social death” Jake thought as he looked at himself in the mirror or pond water.

His clothes consist of skin tight shirt and pant with green long coat over it.

” Hmm oddly it looks somewhat good” Jake thought and then went to Tista location.

She had turned her head from the time Jake came out of lake.

” You can turn back” Jake said and then Tista nodded and looked at him.

Her face is still same from outwards but inwardly she is screaming and feeling flustered.

‘ I s-saw it! ‘

‘ the man thing! ‘

‘ Sister told me, the bigger they are the better ‘

‘ but wasn’t it tooo big! ‘

Jake looked at her speechlessly, ‘oy! You were the one who chose this clothes for me, what are you staring at now! ‘.

‘This is fucking embarrassing’ both of them felt embarassed each for different reasons.
