Recovery Missing

Hi. Today I tried to install Kali linux on MacBook Air. I tried dual boot mode, but I think I messed up everything. I dont know what i did exactly but I think I have formated all the partitions. I cant start the computer now. It just start logging into windows ( which i had installed using bootcamp assistant). I tried to go into internet-based recovery mode and I thought using time machine back up I could reinstall the OSx. But there is an error. You can check pictures out to see what is happening.

Please help me.

MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

Can you install a minimal OS X on an external disk and boot from it - How to install OS X on an external drive connected to your Mac - Apple Support ?

I tried to reinstall OSx from the internet-based recovery. It is downloading the OS X Mavericks.

Same thing again. I could not install mavericks OSx . Do you think the bootable external disk is the only way, because I do not have an 3.0 USB.

From Internet Recovery, can you try and post the output of the following Utilities -> Terminal commands?

diskutil list

diskutil cs list

gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0

You can switch to Safari in IR, but you need to copy the output before you switch. The other option is to take screen photographs.
