Chapter 44:Death

Alex slumped onto the ground once he saw the wolf die. As soon as he sat, he started to vomit out blood. It didn\'t look as bad on the outside, but the attack on his chest had left a hemorrhage inside.

His head was burning with intense pain, and he could barely move his left arm. The blood from his head had once more covered his eyes, but he didn\'t have the strength to wipe it off this time.

"Thank You," he heard a voice in his head.

\'Am I hallucinating?\' he thought. \'Is this what being close to death feels like. Full of pain and hallucinations.\'

"Thank you for saving my child." He heard the voice once more.

His eyes immediately opened as he looked towards the cat monster. Its eyes had lost their clarity and started to get groggy, but it was still very much looking at him.

"Did you just talk?" he asked, biting through his pain.

"I have two requests. Would you mind listening to my requests?" the cat\'s mouth didn\'t move, but he could hear its voice in its head. He was now sure that it was in fact the cat talking.

"Tell me what your requests are. If I can fulfill it, I shall." He said.

"Thank you," the cat spoke in his mind and brought out its child from underneath. "This is my son. I don\'t know if you will survive your wounds or not, but if you do, please take care of him. His destiny is to grow up to be the strongest, and I, as his mother, can\'t let him die here," The cat said.

Alex stood up with what little energy, and walked up to the cat. The little kitten was weak and had wounds all over its body as well. But those wounds were mostly just minor wounds, and even without any help, it would survive.

Alex took out the Minor Healing pill from his inventory. It was the only healing pill he had and it only worked on minor injuries. He fed the pill to the little kitten without hesitation. His wounds were not one that he could heal with a meager Minor Healing Pill.

The kitten\'s wounds healed within seconds, and it started to stand up on its little feet. Alex smiled as he saw the little kitten jump around in his hand and jump down to the ground. It then ran towards its mother and started nudging her a little.

The cat smiled a little and brought out its tongue and started licking the little kitten. Tears started streaming down her eyes as she kept on licking the little ignorant kitten.

Alex\'s eyes watered a little as well. The cat then looked at him, and said, "Now, for my second request." The cat looked at him and then turned to look at its child for a few seconds, before turning back to him.

After a few seconds of silence, it finally closed its eyes and said, "Please kill me."

Alex was shocked. That was not what he had been expecting. He coughed a bit more blood as it was getting harder for him to breathe. he looked at the cat, and said,

" I don\'t think I can fulfill this request of yours. I myself am nearly dead. Even if you yourself are on your death bed, I don\'t have enough strength to kill you, even if I wanted to."

The cat looked at him and said, "That\'s okay. You don\'t have to kill me with your own strength. Just pull out the sword on my back and I will die in no time."

Alex turned to look at the thing sticking from its back. \'So that was a sword handle huh.\' He thought.

He walked up to the back of the cat and tried to pull the sword off. But it was too heavily stuck in there, and he didn\'t have the strength to pull it.

He tried a few more times, but it was fruitless. He was about to give up when he thought of something. He looked towards the cat and said, "I am about to try something different. If it works the sword will leave your body, are you ready?"

"Yes," the cat said.

Alex looked at the handle and grabbed it. However, instead of pulling it this time, he just closed his eyes. His Qi started flowing around the surface of the sword. He felt some resistance from the remnant Qi of whoever owned the sword, but without someone to guide it, the Qi simply disappeared.

Whoosh.

MEOW

The cat purred loudly. The little kitten was scared for a moment but returned to nudging its mother. The cat slowly licked the little kitten as Alex heard it speak in its mind.

"Thank You," its tongue had stopped licking its child. The cat was dead.

This was the first time Alex felt horrible for seeing a notification appear.

"Meow?" the little kitten nudged its mother a little more but there was no response. "Meow! Meow!" it kept calling its mother to lick him some more, but Alex knew there was no way the cat was going to do anything anymore.

Tears started welling up in his eyes as he was saddened by the little kitten\'s cries.

*Cough*

Suddenly, he vomited some more blood and got lightheaded. He couldn\'t keep standing anymore and fell down hard onto the ground.

"Meow?" the little kitten saw him fall down and walked up to him.

Alex\'s mind was starting to get hazy as he couldn\'t tell what was going on outside. He saw a vague silhouette of the little kitten come up to him. He thought he felt something on his forehead, but wasn\'t sure if it was the little kitten or just his pain.

Suddenly, white light shined bright in front of him. He closed his eyes as the light was too much for him to look at. He heard a bunch of notifications pop up, but he wasn\'t in the state to read them at all.

Once the light died down, he opened his eyes once more. The little kitten was there no more.
