Pluck...
As soon as the Demon plummeted to the ground, his body began to turn into ashes.
The ashes danced in the air, swirling and twirling like a dark storm.
Amidst those ashes, a ck sphere rested, emanating an aura of Dark Mana that permeated the surroundings.
It was a Demon Core.
Well, I don''t know about you, but I don''t mind having another Demon Core...
Click...
Picking up the ck sphere, I threw it into my Spatial Ring before slowlyying down on the ground.
Crack...
The Ice pirs around me shattered into thousands of pieces, but somehow I remained unscathed.
Even as the shards of ice fell all around me, glimmering in the dim light, I couldn''t help but smirk.
I defeated another Demon~
Raising my bloody fist in the air, I clenched it tightly, feeling the adrenaline slowly leaving my body.
However, there was one thing that lingered at the back of my mind.
The veryst the Demon spoke before I beheaded him.
''You are not a Human...''
Looking at the sky, I whispered the words to myself as if they were a secret only I could hear.
Did he say that because of my determination?
Or maybe it was because of my pain tolerance?
"..."
Why did he have to say something before dying!?
Now I''m left pondering what he meant.
Fucking Demon...
Cursing the fallen creature under my breath, I pulled out a Health Potion from my Spatial Ring and gulped it down, feeling its healing effect course through my body.
Slowly, my aching body became rejuvenated, the thing most people would call pain disappearingpletely.
"Off to the next ind..."
Looking in the distance I could see a few unexplored Inds floating in the sky, each one holding monsters that I would need to kill.
With a deep breath, I was about to take a step toward the Obsidian Chain leading to another ind, when...
ng...
My attention was drawn by the sound of loud metal shing against metal.
Instantly my eyes were drawn toward the source of themotion, thest ind in my path. It was an enormous chunk of earth with massive cliffs and jagged rocks jutting out.
However, at this particr moment, it was not thendscape that caught my attention, but its movements.
It wasn''t floating anymore...
It was falling!
ng... ng...
The Obsidian chain connecting it to the other Inds was creaking under pressure but slowly pulling the other Inds with it.
"Shit!"
However, I didn''t n to stand and just watch.
Swish...
I dashed to the opposite side, moving at the utmost speed with all my might, sprinting toward the Void that would lead me back to Earth.
ng...
Jumping onto the obsidian chain leading toward the desert Ind where I fought a Sand Dweller, I was forced to slightly steady my pace since I didn''t want to fall into the Lava Ocean beneath.
Although the situation seemed dire, I forced myself to calm down as I slowly made my way across the chain with calcted steps.
Thud...
As soon as my feet touched the red sand, I dashed toward the other side of the ind, hearing the loud rumbling of the falling inds behind me.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>
ng...
As I was about to jump onto the Chain leading me to the Ind with Lava Rivers, I felt the ground shake beneath me.
The ground shook violently beneath me, causing me to stumble and lose my bnce for a moment.
Momentarily, I nced behind me, to see that the Ind where I just fought the Demon was already falling, pulling the one I was standing on down with it.
"Fuck..."
Without any further thought, I jumped onto the obsidian chain, feeling it swaying because of the shaking, but I couldn''t care less at this point.
Whoosh...
For a moment, my world blurred, my instincts taking over and somehow managing to safely bring me to the other Ind.
Tap... Tap... Tap...
Quickly, I leaped over the Lava Rivers and passed near the Lava Waterfall, reaching the chain that would lead me to thest ind before the Void one.
Rumble...
The world around me shook and instinctively, I could feel the ground beneath my feet, slowly descending, which sent a jolt of electricity coursing through my veins.
I need to fucking leave this Ind!
Whoosh...
I pushed forward, my muscles straining with each step. The air whipped against my face as I felt the Ind sinking beneath me, the impending doom urging me to move faster. Sweat trickled down my forehead, mixing with the dirt and blood, but I ignored the difort.
Tap... Tap... Tap...
The rhythm of my footsteps echoed in my ears, drowned out by the deafening sound of destruction. The chain swayed violently, threatening to throw me off bnce, but I held on, my determination unwavering. Every step was a test of my agility and focus, as I navigated the treacherous path towards safety.
Rumble...
The ind behind me crumbled, fissures forming like veins in the earth. It was a race against time, and I knew I had to make it across before the chain snapped or the Ind plummeted into the abyss below. Adrenaline surged through my veins, heightening my senses and sharpening my instincts.
I could see the next Ind in sight, a distant beacon of hope. It felt so close yet impossibly far, a mirage teasing my weary mind. But I couldn''t afford to doubt or hesitate. With each leap, I propelled myself forward, defying gravity and the imminent disaster behind me.
Swish...
The hot wind rushed past me, carrying with it the scent of ash and chaos. The world around me blurred, my vision fixated solely on the path ahead. Thoughts raced through my mind, fleeting glimpses of survival and determination. I could taste freedom, a sweet victory tinged with the bitter taste of danger.
Thud...
My feetnded solidly on the ground of thest Ind, a wave of relief washing over me. I nced back, witnessing the catastrophic copse of the previous Ind, devoured by the hungry void. I was safe for now, but the battle wasn''t over yet.
"Shitty trees..."
Instead of finding a pathway to escape, I was met with crystal trees that blocked my way. Previously, I''ve made my way through the forest by exploding the trees, but it seems that they regrown within hours.
Well, it is time to use this...
ncing down at my shoes, especially the right shoe that still had a rune inscribed onto it, I sighed, positioning myself as if I was about the jump.
Boom...
An explosion erupted from beneath me, propelling me upwards with a forceful st.
The crystal trees glittered in the air as I soared above them. I clenched my fists, determination fueling my every move.
Whoosh...
Gravity pulled me back down, and I braced myself for the impact. Inded on the ground with a thud, the force jarring through my body. Pain shot through my legs as I felt the bones break upon impact, but I gritted my teeth and ignored the ache.
I couldn''t afford to be hindered now, not when I was so close to escaping this copsing realm. With a steely resolve, I swiftly reached into my Spatial Ring and retrieved myst remaining Health Potion. I uncorked it and drank the potion down, feeling its magical healing properties surge through me.
As the potion coursed through my veins, I could feel the broken bones in my legs shifting and mending themselves. The intense ache gradually subsided, reced by a numbing sensation as the healing magic took effect. I took a deep breath, allowing myself a moment to let the mending processplete.
Once the bones were healed, I quickly adjusted my leg position to ensure they would set properly. I had no time for a full recovery; I needed to keep moving. The urgency of the situation spurred me on, pushing aside any lingering difort.
With renewed determination, I pushed myself back onto my feet, testing my weight on the healed legs. They held firm, and I exhaled a sigh of relief. I couldn''t afford any more setbacks or dys.
The copsing ind continued to rumble and shake, a constant reminder of the impending danger. I focused my gaze ahead, scanning for the next path, the next opportunity for escape. Time was of the essence, and I couldn''t waste a single second.
Pushing off with my strong legs, I sprinted forward, leaping over obstacles and avoiding crumbling sections of the terrain. The ground quivered beneath me, threatening to swallow me whole, but I pressed on, my instincts guiding me through the chaos.
Each step was fueled by determination, by the burning desire to survive. I couldn''t let the pain slow me down; it was merely an obstacle to ovee. The knowledge that escape was within reach spurred me forward, adrenaline coursing through my veins.
ng...
Going onto thest chain of the copsing realm, I darted forward, my heart pounding in my chest.
Maybe I will survive...
