The Hollow God 12 Only Two Problems Left.

A large black manta that was comfortably sleeping suddenly felt a tiny pinch on his back, as he tried to move his tail to scratch it he felt some resistance.

"Hmm? … …. …" trying harder to move around he was quickly getting the feeling that he was trapped in something very small which gave him very little s.p.a.ce to move!

"Wake up!!!" A sweet voice suddenly called out from his back.

"Little gold? Where are we? Why can't I move? …. Little gold, I didn't know this but I think i'm very very very very claustrophobic... I'm starting to freak out here!" The large manta started to impatiently move around, his heart pumping faster as he began to feel short of breath.

"Calm down!! We are still inside the whale, i think we might have gotten even bigger while we were asleep! Try and cut us out with your tail!" the pleasant voice sounded out once more as it calmly gave direction to the panicking manta.

'Right why didn't i think of that!?' realizing his mistake he quickly inserted mana into his tail and stabbed it through the walls. It easily cut through all of the whale's muscles, skins, and even bones bursting out from the creature's stomach.

"I did it! I got through!" the large manta yelled happily as he felt the difference in temperature at the end of his tail.

"Why are you so happy? The hole is too small, make it bigger!" she said impatiently

'Could it be that she is also not good with small places?

The large manta concentrated his mana into a knife like shape on the side of his tail and started to slowly cut an exit. As the whale was already dead there was no need to worry about its powerful regeneration.

Once he cut a oval shaped hole off the large body he used his tail to push it out creating an exit big enough for him to pa.s.s through. A bright light shone onto his face blinding him but he grit his teeth and quickly squeezed himself through to the other side.

"Arggg! Little gold where are you? I can't see!" Using his tail like a cane he slowly felt around his surroundings.

"Hmph! You told me so much about the surface but now that we are here you can't even handle a little light??" The little crab said in disdain as she climbed out of the hole they had created on the whale carca.s.s.

'The surface!?' Hearing what the little crab said he started to release the small black clouds he was using to protect his two pairs of eyes to get them to slowly adapt to the light.

Even if he tried his hardest it still took a couple of minutes for his eyes which were only used to the dark underwater to adapt, but when it did he was speechless. The water was beautiful dark blue color which was filled with colorful fish of every size that feasted on the enormous dead whale, And of course the large yellow sun was floating in the sky s.h.i.+ning down warm light on his black skin.

*Sniffle* sniffle*

The little crab was dumbfounded when she noticed that the large manta suddenly started crying!

"This… Why are you crying? Strong men don't cry!…. Do your eyes still hurt?"

Hearing how worried she was about him he felt so touched that his tears began falling even faster! Rubbing his eyes with his tail he tried to hide it however, the smiley face underneath his body was showing his true emotions and was crying its eyes out. :'(

*sniff sniff* "I'm not crying OK?! My eyes are still burning because of the light, just give me a second."

"OK…" Seeing how embarra.s.sed he was she decided to quietly wait.

After a few minutes pa.s.sed the large manta had finished venting his emotions and decided it was time to leave so he started looking for the little crab.

"Little gold? Where are you? Lets go explore!!"

"I'm right here….." a quiet voice sounded out from the hole that was cut out from the whale. When the large manta turned towards the direction of the voice he was shocked.

"Little gold why did you shrink!!???" there sat a tiny golden crab that if the manta was a human she would be the size of a c.o.c.kroach!

"I didn't shrink!! Hmph! It was you who grew too much!! Look!!" she said as she held out one of her claws.

The large manta was confused by her gesture but as he got closer he noticed a tiny thing sitting on top of her little hand. It was the skull pot she used to put sand in!!

'She didn't shrink! I just grew too much!!'

The large manta was shocked and decided to inspect his whole body. Other than the size everything seemed fine until he looked inside at his mana core. There he found one more moon along with the black one floating around a large golden sphere in the middle. The white sphere had turned golden and the new moon had the same purple color the big whales mana had!

"Little gold were there changes to your core as well??"

"There was, the mana at the center turned into a golden color. It feels much more powerful and complete compared to the one from before!"

'Does this mean she didn't gain purple mana like i did? But sh-…. Wait a minute!'

"Little gold! You sound so much better! What happened?!"

"Hmph! Took you long enough to notice! When I woke up not only did I get bigger but my head cleared up as well!" she said excitedly

The large manta could hear the happiness in her voice and felt really happy for her as well. They could barely communicate before as she could only say a few words. It felt like he was trying to talk to someone from a different continent that barely knew the language!. Now if only they could fix the difference in species .. well there was also the problem of size now as well ...Sighs

"That's great! I had so much to tell you before but i had to hold back now i don't have to hold back anymore! Let's go explore, we need to find someone to ask directions anyways so we will talk on the way!"

'Wait, he was holding back before?!' The little crab hesitated for a moment on whether she should get on his back or not but gave up on the end and climbed onto her favorite spot which was now ten times bigger before they sped off into the distance.
