Raikou had spent the next few days trying to absorb as much of the darkness element particles as possible. He didn't have long left in this dimension, and his actions were becoming quite frantic.
Even after killing hundred's of beasts, there was no clear 'maximum point' to reach for him to understand what exactly he was reaching towards. The feeling was similar to having a pit in your stomach with no understanding of its cause or origin.
The addition of the system, or the duality, as he called it, had kept him going through this journey without any mental mishaps similar to what had occurred previously.
(I've gone for duality. I like it! What do you guys think?)
"Damn it, why is it that this feeling isn't going away! I need to find more beasts as soon as possible!" Raikou was beginning to behave like a madman and couldn't calm himself. It was similar to an itch that can not be scratched, which is making him frantic to 'itch' it in a sense.
"How often when we are comfortable, we begin to long for something new!" Domyo was perched on his left shoulder.
"What does that even mean? It is not relevant to anything, so stop trying to sound like a wise old man." Raikou shouted.
"It's not irrelevant to this. I may have been dormant, but I could see everything that was happening. Until we came back, your focus was on killing the beasts till something sticks for you, such as having us wake up. Now that we are here, you are unsatisfied and are growing increasingly frantic over another objective that you have set." Domyo continued to speak in a superior and analytical manner.
Raikou wanted to reply with some clever retort, but he had to admit that there was some truth to his words.
He calmed himself down and inhaled. Within minutes, the feeling of the 'pit' had slowly dissipated leaving him feeling as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.
With that out of the way, his mind was able to focus on other things. One such thing was the fact that he hadn't encountered a single academy student since entering the dimension. It was really confusing, as he had been around most of the place and it really wasn't that large of an area to miss so many people.
"Could they have all died?" It was a possibility, as alot of the beings in this dimension far outclass the students that had been sent in. Even then, it didn't explain why he hadn't seen any bodies. Beasts don't exactly reduce the bodies of their victims to dust.
He decided to scope out the area and find out what had happened. The feeling of that many people dying without him attempting to help would leave him feeling unsettled, if he didn't at least do something.
"I have an idea." Remembering one of the new abilities he had acquired from the evolution, his face lit up with an idea in tow.
"Hey you two, how do I merge abilities together?"
They replied in unison, "With our help, it is a simple task. Open up the system interface and just think of merging them together. The first time is a gift, but in the future it will not be as simple."
He did as they said and picked observation and eavesdropping.
Ding! 'Observation' and 'Eavesdropping' have been picked for merging!
Do you wish to continue? Yes/No
Raikou picked yes and looked at his skills page. The two skills had disappeared and a new one took its place.
Skill: All Hearing Eyes
Rank: S
Description: With this, you can see and hear anything! Don't be a naughty boy or Domyo will be unhappy. Dosho will be happy though, so be naughty all you want!
Mastery: Small Perfection
He was pleasantly surprised to see that the mastery was already at small perfection. This was due to his high attainments in observation, which was one of the skills used in the merging.
"This is quite dangerous for me. What if I merge two great skills and get a crappy merged one in its stead!"
"That is a possibility. Haha, that would be amazing to see!" Dosho was giggling like a child on his shoulder.
Raikou was creeped out by his laugh, as they were both a singular system till recent events. An artificial being displaying emotions in such a way was unsettling for him.
Using the new skill, the experience felt surreal. It was like he was travelling, and everything that he could felt like he was there in that place itself.
"Wait, what's that?" He saw a trail leading to cave. It was like someone had dragged something on the ground into the cave. "Come on Watson, let's go see what is there!"
Walking towards the cave, he felt something brush against his back. He turned around and pulled his sword out to see that nothing was there. He continued and again, a chill went up his spine.
"Whoever you are, my sword is very big! It can 'pierce' very well!"
"Leave! These are my babies! You can stay if you want to be my baby aswell!" A soft voice travelled into his voice through the wind. A mist was forming in front of him.
The voice creeped him out. It was calming, but he knew that it had sinister intentions behind it. He snapped out of the trance it put him under and saw something appear from the mist.
"My eyes, that is fucking disgusting." Raikou nearly cried from the sight in front of him.
An woman with long black hair stepped out of the mist. She was completely naked with only her hair protecting her nether regions. The thing that scared Raikou was her chest. Her breasts were extremely long and hung until they were dragged across the ground. Her face was covered and the breasts were prominent enough to scare anyone away.
Name: N/A
Cultivation: Rank 5 7th Level
Species: Wewe Gombel
"Another fucking demon?" He sighed and lunged forward.
