Chapter 268.6: Training & Etc. (2)
Vooom!
Vivian stopped running.
This must be it…
Amidst the endless plains of sand with the occasional hills and mountains from the distance and the soft and cold wind blowing, in front of Vivian was a hole that was around 30 meters or 100 feet wide.
She walked closer to the hole and stood at the edge.
The Pit of Tar'asque is deeper than I imagined…
On the sides of the hole, she could see a couple of red-colored nervous systems that seemed to have the shape of birds and bats or at least that was she believed they were. However, what surprised her was the depth.
Through her demonic eyes, inanimate objects appeared like a black-and-white thermal vision but isn't affected by light and heat, while animate objects appeared as red or blue-colored nervous systems. Even when it comes to bodies of water, her eyes would see through the water and only view what's underneath it.
So at the bottom of the hole, although she could see a couple of red-colored nervous systems, it was so deep that her eyes couldn't make out their shapes, only red and blue dots.
From what I read, they say that this pit is at least 150 meters deep…
It was discovered -- or should I say suddenly appeared -- around 2,400 A.M…
Ever since its appearance, several expeditions, public and private, were done…
Non-superstitious people deemed it as a place not worth mining because the walls can collapse…
Superstitious people deemed it as a place as an entrance to the Demon World or some evil world…
Either way…
Most people avoid this place because it is a perfect place for Necromancers or wanted people to hide so authorities would occasionally send people here to check…
But what's important here are the monsters…
They say that at the bottom is an underground river with Fareels and other aquatic marine life inhabiting it…
Fareel was a fist-type monster that looked like an eel but had 4 limbs which allows it to crawl on land and had long and sharp teeth. It prefered to live in hot water, it can see in the dark, its Physical Force can reach up to Mithril-grade, it doesn't have any Magic Art but its body can generate heat of up to Mithril-grade, the male could grow up to 6ft long while the female can grow up to 10ft long, and lastly, it wasn't aggressive unless provoked.
I really don't want to do this…
But I have no choice…
She turned away and began looking for a landmark.
Vooom!
Scrape…
Scrape…
She appeared near a giant rock and lifted it before digging with one of her demon hands.
Tap…
Tap…
Thud.
After digging a hole about 2ft deep, she placed all of her belongings wrapped with her White Cloak inside it and then covered it with sand before tapping it and putting the stone back down.
Vooom!
She returned to the edge of the hole.
Should I just jump in…?
I mean…
It looks like it would take me forever to climb down…
But I don't know if I will survive...
She shook her head mentally.
I can definitely survive with [Great Origin Transformation]…
But I'm not a masochist…
She thought about it for a moment before finally deciding.
Fuck it…
I'm climbing down…
I just have to be careful not to break the walls…
[Greater Origin Transformation].
Blaaak!
She reverted to her human form and her whole body shivered when the cold desert winds brushed against her body.
[Greater Origin Enchant].
Dark red lightning appeared on her hand.
Hopefully, no one would see this from afar…
[Greater Origin Transformation].
BLAAAK!
She transformed into a 25-meter-tall Greater Demon.
THUD, THUD, THUD, THUD, THUD…
POP.
POP.
POP.
"AHH…!" Vivian let out an inhuman and monstrous moan that boomed throughout the area as she got on the ground like a spider-scorpion and then made some popping sounds with her joints. Due to her immense size, her demonic voice which was already heavily distorted with a screeching and guttural sound due to the inhuman structure of demons was enhanced that it could no longer be identified if it was a male or female and was naturally loud.
Feels so good…!
I can't remember the last time I used this other true form of mine…!
THUD, THUD, THUD, THUD, THUD…
She began crawling into the hole like a true eldritch horror -- her 8 spider-like demonic arms grabbed and pushed the sides, and her ethereal pale grayish skin and several giant black-colored eyes with yellow irises glowed like a faint light bulb in the pitch-black darkness.
The red-colored nervous system birds and bats resting on the walls went wild and began attacking her. Even the baby chicks stepped out of their nest and jumped to attack her, only to fall into the depths of the hole.
SPLAT!
Vivian closed several of her eyes and face-palmed, killing the nervous systems that were attacking giant squid or octopus-like head.
Annoying little shits…!
She opened her eyes back and continued focusing on crawling to the bottom. And from time to time, she would face-palm again whenever birds and bats attacked her head.
THUD.
Huh…?
After almost 2 minutes of climbing down, one of her hands touched an edge.
This is already the end of the hole…?
THUD.
THUD.
Based on what her demonic eyes were seeing, the bottom or ground was still several meters away and she could see hundreds of thousands of red-colored and a couple of few thousand blue-colored systems. But her hands told a different story. Three of them were holding on an edge, suggesting that she was about to enter a cavern.
So it looks like I still have to jump down, huh…
A thought suddenly flashed inside her head.
Holy shit…!
How am I going to climb back up…?!
Will my 40-meter height be enough…?!
Several of her eyes glanced at the hundreds of thousands of nervous systems that were in the shape of Fareels, snakes, fishes and other aquatic lifeforms.
She shook her head mentally.
I'll just make another hole…
A smaller one…
To make sure everything won't collapse…
And I won't be going home naked…
She pulled her arms away from the walls and her body began free-falling.
SPLASH!
Vivian fell into a body of water. But to her surprise, even with her 25-meter-tall body, she still wasn't able to touch the ground.
What the fuck…?!
And as for the red and blue-colored nervous systems, those who were under the category of monsters began rushing towards her while those in the animal category ran away.
[Greater Origin Transformation].
She reverted back to her human form and felt the warmth of the water. However, there was nothing could see but pitch-black darkness -- she couldn't even see her hands in front of her face.
Blaaak!
[Greater Origin Enchant].
[Greater Origin Transformation].
BLLLAAAKKK!!!
THHHUUUDDDD, THHHUUUDDDD!!!
She transformed into the highest height she could possibly reach -- a 40-meter-tall Greater Demon, causing the water inside the cavern to rise a couple of meters due to the sudden appearance of Vivian's enormous mass and the whole surrounding to tremble like an earthquake when her feet touched the ground. Nevertheless, she was finally able to properly move with the water reaching her chests. And as for the size of the cavern, its height was around 50 meters while the width was 80 meters.
"FUUUCCCKKKIIINNNGGG HEEELLLLLL, ITTT WAAASSS THHHIIISSS… DEEEEEEPPP…?!!!"
Her voice, which was already unidentifiable if it was a male or a female and sounded so inhuman with its heavy distortion along with the screeching and guttural sound from her 25-meter-height earlier, only got worse. Not only were the words coming out of her mouth sounded like she was slurring them, but the entire cavern shook and the water around her vibrated with each syllable.
[Soul Bomb].
A white-colored ball that was appropriate for the size of her enormous demonic hand appeared on her hands.
BOOOOOO-OOOOOO…!
Ding!
'Unlocked [Magic Art Mastery] (Soul Mastery) - Level 9!'
[Poison Bomb].
PSSSSSSHHHHHH…!!!
Ding!
'Unlocked [Magic Art Mastery] (Poison Mastery) - Level 9!'
Vivian raised her feet, causing waves to erupt and the ground on her other feet to groan.
Her movement was also slow.
In this world, once a being reaches 10 meters and above, it would start to affect their movement. At 10 meters, their AGI would be reduced by 10%. So at 40 meters tall, Vivian's AGI was reduced by 40%, making it from 12 (+325) or 337 points to around 202 points.
[Power Leg].
BAAAAAA-RIIIIIIPPPPPP…!
Ding!
'Unlocked [Leg Mastery] - Level 8!'
Ding!
'[Body Art Mastery] (Leg Mastery) - Level 9!'
Her stats became:
• STR - 11 (+347)
• VIT - 9 (+356)
• AGI - 12 (+333)
• INT - 8 (+373)
Next…!
She waited for almost a minute before moving again.
[Soul Bomb].
BOOOOOO-OOOOOO…!
Ding!
'Unlocked [Soul Mastery] - Level 9!'
[Poison Bomb].
PSSSSSSHHHHHH…!!!
Ding!
'Unlocked [Poison Mastery] - Level 9!'
[Power Leg].
BAAAAAA-RIIIIIIPPPPPP…!
Ding!
'Unlocked [Leg Mastery] - Level 8!'
Ding!
'[Body Art Mastery] (Leg Mastery) - Level 9!'
She suddenly felt a slight jolt run inside her head as her stats became:
• STR - 11 (+351)
• VIT - 9 (+364)
• AGI - 12 (+345)
• INT - 8 (+396)
Or to be specific, her VIT and INT now had a difference of 31 points or one Grade.
Shit…!
I don't want to risk it…
After I'm done with Claw, Tail and Finger…
I'll go back with the Poison and Soul…
And as she was waiting for the next batch of monsters to gather around her, the cavern began to shake.
What the…?!
It's going to collapse…?!
My clothes…!
The whole cavern continued shaking, especially the ground, that Vivian almost lost her balance and fell on her knees. However, what happened next was something she never imagined was possible.
Through her demonic eyes, she saw the ground transform into a single enormous blue-colored nervous system and then it started moving like a snake.
SPLASH!
A 30-meter-tall head emerged from the blood-soaked body of water and faced Vivian.
"WHHHAAATTT… THHHEEE… HEEELLLLLL…?"
