Sky had started his journey to the dungeon half an year ago. All the while he kept testing his left hand. He hoped his all powerful left hand can save Carnage from her situation.
The response he got from his hand was different from what he had expected. In this half an year of travelling Sky had met and killed at least a hundred level one monsters and three level two monsters.
His left hand absorbed their blood essences, but did not enhance his strength. It instead used all the energy it got from the blood essence to form a spiritual space inside it.
He could enter this space as long as he could ask it to let him in. First time he formed this space his left hand absorbed him and Carnage who was in his arms.
As he was thinking of ways to get out of the space, Carnage's body floated on its own and her body which was usually pale, brightened.
Sky tried to move her and take her out of this space, but he was unable to move her. It seemed like she was attached to this space and did not want to leave.
After thinking sometime he figured out the way to leave accidentally. After a long time of not being able to leave, he was angry and shouted at his arm, "can you let me out! You damn arm."
The next second he was outside his body, Sky looked probingly at his left hand and said, "Can you let me in. You damn arm."
He immediately entered the space. Sky finally figured it out. All he had to do was ask his arm to let him in or let him out. "Let you out or I will fuck you." He said sarcastically.
There was no response, Sky was still in the space. Scared, Sky changed his tone. "Can you let me out. Good sir."
But there was no answer.
He got desperate, "my beautiful left hand! I am sorry. I shouldn't have said that. Please let me out."
No response.
"Fuck! You really have a attitude. Let me out right this instant, or....or..ahh! I will fuck your mother hand."
"My sweet little sister Left, can you please let me out. I am really sorry."
"Fuck your sister! Fuck yours brother! Fuck your family! Let me out, you damn devil!"
"If you let me out, I will let you marry my right hand! Yeah! I know, my right hand is too handsome for you but since I promised, I will do it."
Only after a whole day of Sky's goading did the arm let him leave the space. Sky truly understood fear for the first time in his life.
His left hand seemed to contain a consciousness on its own, and it's attitude was no better than his.
As he left the spiritual space, Sky's body seemed a little heavier, he now had to bear his own and Carnage's weight, since she was in his arm.
He then experimented with this new ability of his and found out that, he could store any object in his spiritual space as long as he has contact with the object.
He decided to let Carnage inside the space. Even if he wanted to move her away, he did not know how. He was also sure that his left arm would not harm Carnage, so he relaxed.
..........
His left hand had returned normal after forming the spiritual space, it now increased his strength like before.
Sky had killed all the level one centaurs and absorbed their essence, he was lot stronger than when he was attacked by the level one centaur.
As Sky was basking in his new strength, he heard the voice of four feet moving at a very fast speed. He looked in the direction of this voice and found the Centaur Lord running towards him.
He stopped quite a distance away from Sky and shouted, "Human! Why do you attack my colony."
"Because I have strength." Sky answered with a easy going smile on his face.
"Human! Why don't we make a deal? You let my colony off and I give you something of equal value in return." The level two Centaur tried to make a deal with Sky.
"Go on! I am listening?" Sky waited for the centaur to reveal the object that worth a colony of monster's lives.
"Here is a medallion of a level six monster. As long as you carry it, none of the monsters in first to five floors would provoke you. As you are a human, this medallion, which represents a higher level monster is even more useful." The Centaur took out a medallion and showed it to Sky.
Sky nodded seeing the medallion in Centaur's hands. He was still weak and if he faced a level four monster all he could do was run.
They might not be able to kill him, but they can capture and lock him up. So Sky was ready to make this deal.
The Centaur nodded and moved his hand to hand the medallion to Sky.
As soon Sky's arm reached his arm, the Centaur pulled his arm up and ripped his left hand off.
Sky experienced pain from his left hand ripped away forcefully from him. But he still looked at the level two Centaur and asked, "What are you doing?"
The level two Centaur relaxed after ripping Sky's left arm off. He slowly walked as he explained, "my colony's secret art is called the eyes of truth."
"This secret art allows me to see through the body and see the energy flow inside. I have seen that the true reason for your healing was this arm. Now that you don't have this arm anymore, you are just dead meat."
Sky was shocked to find a secret art that could let monsters see the flow of internal energy in the body.
This art would be quite deadly if someone can see your internal energy reserve through it. Once they attack your internal energy reserve, you lose all your levels and fall back to level zero.
You can even say that the level of the monster depends on how much amount of internal energy your body stores in it's reserve.
Sky immediately took an interest to this art of the Centaurs, "Can this art be practiced by every monster." Sky asked probingly.
"Ha haa! For a dead man, you ask a lot of questions. But no problem, I shall answer them."
"My colony's secret can be practiced by any monster with a very good eyesight, if a monster's eyesight is poor, then even if they are level nine monster they won't be able to practice it." The Centaur answered honestly, Sky was already a dead man in his eyes.
Sky knew that the good eyesight that the level two monster mentioned was very rare. Even in Centaurs, who were know for their excellent eyesight, only this level two Centaur was qualified to practice it.
But this was not a problem to Sky who had absorbed the blood essence of all the level one Centaurs and increased his eye power. Right now he might even have a better eyesight than this level two Centaur.
"Where is the secret skill?" He asked the final and most important question.
The Centaur took out a scroll from his bag. This was the secret scroll he mentioned.
Sky nodded his head and looked towards the level two Centaur. "I never expected to be tricked by a Centaur. Any way it is my complete loss. As I am going to die anyway, I would life to make a small request." He said looking like he had truly given up.
"What is it?" The Centaur asked with caution, he had seen Sky trick a level one Centaur into coming near him. This made the level two Centaur very wary of Sky.
"It's nothing much, just that, I have never seen someone eat my body before. And this might be my last chance to see it, so I request the mighty Centaur to eat my hands before killing me." Sky then threw the black knife away and extended his right hand towards the Centaur.
The Centaur looked at Sky's extended hand warily, it even used the secret art on the right hand.
Finding no flow of internal energy he relaxed and thought Sky really wanted to see his body parts get eaten.
But he was still cautious, so he cut Sky's right arm first. Seeing Sky not making any move he relaxed a little.
He then cut off Sky's both legs to be sure that Sky was not playing any joke. He stopped Sky's blood loss so that Sky could stay alive and watch his body parts get eaten.
He started with leg, he found human flesh heavenly as he chewed on the leg.
[ No wonder, the higher level monsters did not let the human be exterminated. They would have missed a wonderful meal if they had.]
He then ate the right hand, finally coming to his left. But when he started chewing on it, he felt his teeth unable to pierce through it.
Sky was still looking at him, so the Centaur did not want to be laughed at for not being able to even chew a human hand. So he forcefully gulped the whole hand down.
"Are you satisfied?" The level two Centaur asked after gulping down the left hand.
"Very." Sky answered.
The Centaur then cut his head off. Sky was dead. The Centaur ran back to his abode.
He slowly laid out on the grass of his house and started sleeping. His peaceful days have returned.
This sleep turned into the permanent state of his body. Sky slowly cut off the stomach and appeared outside the body.
He first cleaned himself in the Centaur's bath. Found a large shirt which could cover his whole body and wore it. He took some of these shirts and placed them inside his arm's space.
He then retrieved the secret scroll from the Centaur's body and the medallion of the level six monster.
He slowly walked out of the Centaur's home and continued his way to the dungeon, While whistling happily at his new harvest.
