I'm The supreme Fairy King

Chapter 243: Getting Poisoned

Jim kept running towards the worm while that worm wasn't able to do anything to him with all its tentacles being cut in half with Jim.

"Shriek!"

The worm shrieked in a threatening way while Jim was only a few meters away. "Eat this," Jim wasn't fazed and the next moment he shot the ore piece he had in hand directly towards the worm.

He couldn't clearly see anything but the moment the ore passed out the slit opening of the crack, it hit something hard.

And Jim only pushed it with all his might. "Get in," he gritted his teeth while pushing it as hard as he could.

"Shriek!"

This time the worm shrieked in a pained way while Jim felt his ore crushed something and went deeply inside the flesh of that worm.

And the moment that happened, that worm started to twitch violently, making his body twitch with it.

The two were now connected with one ore, and Jim didn't stop trying to push it deeper. "Take it motherf*cker!" he shouted like Hector and others did before as he kept pushing the ore deeper inside the worm's body.

"Bang!"

Just as he was pushing and resisting the fierce monster, the monster suddenly fell. It slammed onto the walls with weak momentum before going down with fast speed.

And he had to let the ore go or else he would be dragged down with it.

"It has fallen..." Jim slowly muttered, "now it's time to push through that cave."

He didn't hesitate to get out and started climbing.

"Damn! That was hard!" Once he reached the cave, he rolled over on his back and stood there motionless for a couple of moments to catch his breath.

'No time for that,' the old man warned, 'that bastard won't stay down there for long.'

"Yeah," Jim stood straight, "what's taking them all this long?"

Just as he went to the edge, he heard a ruckus coming from above.

"Damn you!"

"Kill it!"

"Don't let it stand up!"

"Wait!"

Jim shouted once he saw the big jelly piece descending from above. Hector's group was now gathered all over that jelly and they were heading fast towards the bottom.

Somehow they could also see the monster just like Jim.

"Jim?!" Roger was the one to notice him first. He stopped the jelly at the cave entrance while others glanced at him in deep admiration.

"Thanks for facing it alone all this time on your own," Roger said before firmly saying, "but leave the rest for the grown ups here."

"No, you don't get it,"Jim hurriedly shouted at him, "come, hurry and leave that thing and enter here now."

"B- But..."

"There's no time, it will come fast and i have to do something first," Jim said before firmly adding, "you are standing in the way. Go back there and wait for your moment to attack."

Roger seemed like the rest... a bit hesitant.

"Come, no time to waste here," Jim started to activate his spell, "I'm sure it's already recovering."

"I'll trust you this time again," Roger firmly nodded, "you heard the man, jump off and stand inside."

The others jumped at once and followed his orders. Roger didn't leave Jim's side. "I'll stay here to help," he said.

"I'll use my spell," Jim said in a meaningful way, "then I'll retreat. The rest will be upon you," Jim then turned to glance at the group at the rear, "all of you."

"Leave it to us," Roger patted firmly on his shoulder before Jim nodded and then he held his sword against the ground. "Time to kill you bastard."

"Shriek!"

Just as he was about to start the other spell, he heard that loud shriek coming from down below.

"Damn! It's already recovered," Jim hurriedly wounded both hands before putting his palms over each other. "Step aside," he firmly pushed the giant body of Roger to the side and then put the two hands against each other.

"Boom!"

But that worm was even faster. Just as he was about to activate the spell, he felt an immense pain while flying midair.

"Shriek!"

And then that monster started to violently attack the opening like trying to renovate it into a new wider one.

"Stand back," Jim forced his body up from the middle of all the ores around. His body returned to be deeply wounded and he was totally covered in blood.

"I'll have to start all over again," his two spells were broken by this sudden attack and now he had to do them again.

The first spell was activated easily, but the second one... "It's not working!" He found himself too weak to handle the spell.

'Just endure,' the old man said, 'and fall over one side of the ore vein... that energy will help you greatly.'

"Thanks," Jim's body suddenly fell to one side, startling everyone.

"Are you ok?" Roger came running from the front while that monster was literally eating the rocks and getting closer to them.

"I'm... fine!" Jim said while gritting his teeth, "just be ready," he was already feeling weak.

'Something is wrong old man,' he said while feeling that breathing was like running a marathon now.

'I think... that monster poisoned you,' the old man said the bad news.

'Damn! What should i do now?'

'Just stay on the path,' the old man said, 'hopefully that monster's energy will help heal you.'

"I hope that!"

"What?" Roger asked but the next thing happened was for Jim's spell to be finally activated. Jim already had one eye closed and the second not far from it.

"Swoosh!"

The moment the two blood droplets merged together, a faint pulse of energy erupted and even the nearby Roger got sent flying backward by it.

"I got you... I finally can see you, motherf*cker!" Jim was able to see the entire monster in extreme detail at this moment.

It wasn't that different from what he had in mind, but he was surprised to see a group of tentacles dancing from its end.

"So you still have some fangs left... I'll make sure to cut you clean," he sneered before pointing the spell towards the worm with his last bit of energy.

His body was now getting numb. He didn't know what else he could do except try to keep his eyes open. That poison running in his body and soul was something fierce, something he wasn't ready for.

"Damn! That poison came at a very wrong time," he tried to resist with all his might while the connection between him and that worm was about to start.

The spell turned into a ray of light that instantly hit the monster. Jim's body couldn't handle it anymore and just as the ray of his spell hit the monster, he slammed heavily on the ground.

"Shriek!"

"Don't let it fight back!" Roger shouted at everyone, "attack with all your might, howl!"

"Howl!"

The entire team howled before they all attacked. "Just stay with me," Roger held Jim's weak body off the ground before using his own spell to cover him inside the jelly. "If you die... boss will die," he slowly muttered before putting the jelly on the ground.

Then he joined the others in fighting the monster.

As for Jim, things turned instantly black for him the moment his body slammed on the ground. He didn't even know if the spell worked, and he felt like his consciousness was slowly fading away.

"Am I sleeping?" he muttered before suddenly feeling violent shaking coming all over the darkness. "What now?" he glanced in vigilance while not knowing what was going on.

On the outside, his body was now covered with a faint layer of golden light. The link between him and the monster wasn't yet stable, as that monster was resisting it fiercely as hard as it could.

But the attack of the others helped in distracting the worm, forcing it to defend and try to counterattack.

And that finally gave the spell a chance to condense and get stronger.

With that the energy absorption coming at Jim started to get stronger as well. And that started all with the faint layer of golden energy that surrounded his body.

"Roar!" Don weakly roared in worry at his master while rubbing his head as usual with his hand. He tried to push his master to stand up, and fight like he used to do.

But this time no reaction came from his master and that made him lean on Jim's body with a sad expression over his face.

As for Jim's soul, it was now trapped inside a pitch black world that it couldn't get free from. The world kept shaking as more energy kept pouring in his body, but even with the passage of a few minutes he couldn't be freed.

But he could now hear the voice of his old man.

'Don't stop fighting,' the old man said, 'can you imagine your sword now?'

'Old man,' Jim said in a relief, 'is this a training place like my game arena?'

'No, that's your soul's last resort,' the old man vaguely said, 'and you need to give it a hand here.'

Jim glanced at all this darkness and the violent trembling occurring from time to time. 'What's all that shaking happening here about?'

'It's the energy coming from that bastard,' the old man said, 'it's coming at you now but not enough it seems.'

'I got it,' Jim took a deep breath, 'I'll do my spell here.'

'You better do.'
