Chereads / The Journey Of The Immortal King / Chapter 4 - Human Form

Chapter 4 - Human Form

Kazama is inside the cave and it's pitch dark. Since kazama don't know what creature might attack him, he held his dagger tight in his right hand and carefully went ahead. After a while, he saw that the cave is splitting into three minor caves and each of them is giving scary vibes to kazama. He first went in the middle one. After moving for a while he encounter a creature. It's a mix type of Wolf and tiger. This creature is white in colour with black stripes all over its body and not to mention its teeths. After watching it kazama is now on edge and started looking for a chance to attack but before kazama got any chance the silver fang ( name of the creature) attacked kazama and with the sharp nails of silver fang, kazama got a deep wound in his chest by silver fang. Kazama fell backward and his dagger fell pretty far from him.

Kazama breathes heavily, his wound is too deep and is causing a lot of blood loss. Kazama wanted to see his wound so he tried to touch it with his hands, his whole hand has gotten soke into his own blood. After seeing this kazama felt regret, regret for not being stronger and he tried to stand up but silver fang ain't the one to stop after hitting his target just once so as soon as kazama stood up silver fang ran upto him and tried to cut the kazama's body into two but kazama, at the last moment went backwards and the impact of silver fang's nails reduced, although the impact was reduced kazama got another cut in his left hand, it was not that deep. The total blood loss from kazama mad himself fizzy and kazama is just barely managing to stand.

While the silver fang is trying to be ready to attack kazama, he thought "why Is it always me who got injured all the time? After coming here I thought I would be stronger than before but it's like this silver fang made it clear that I am not that strong". Kazama didn't even got a split second to think of something as the silver fang reached him running and this time silver fang used his foot instead of nails and hit kazama at his left arm and kazama wasn't ready to stand the impact so he fell into the wall on the right side just like a stone which you throw at a wall. There's a good damage to the wall as well as to kazama.

Kazama laid back on the wall and at this time he don't have enough strength to stand. Kazama now just waits for his death. He lost all hope, his body is not going to stand another attack of silver fang. Blood leaking from kazama soon filled the area near kazama. At this time kazama remembers that he never tried to be strong so he never became strong, inorder to get stronger kazama realised that he needs to beat stronger enemies and keep leveling up with the help of the system.

Silver fang intend to finish his prey with its last attack, so silver fang started running towards kazama and when silver fang reached a certain distance closer to kazama, kazama says "come and be devoured by the king" and kazama invested all of his sp points left into strength and speed. With this kazama got enough strength to fight but at that time silver fang butted its head into kazama and the wall gets more weaker and some particles of wall is falling and the whole area is covered with the dust and the scenery is not clear. This looks like kazama failed and has been killed but when the dust cleared what we saw was that kazama with both of his hands on the silver fang's mouth was successful in stopping silver fang.

Then kazama stood up and punched the silver fang behind its mouth and the impact was so great that silver fang was sent flying into the roof of the cave and then it fell. When silver fang stood up after taking this direct hit, Kazama after investing his sp points felt like he could win this fight so he picked up his dagger and ran towards silver fang and within some seconds he was standing infront of silver fang, this made silver fang look surprised and kazama finished this by slicing silver fang into two.

After killing silver fang kazama got a notification saying "silver fang has been slained". Another one saying "level has been increased, you have reached level 5". Kazama got happy since he leveled up this much in a short time. He also got some drops by defeating it. He got some sp points. After resting for some time, kazama started moving forward with a view of becoming the strongest.

He encountered many different types of monsters on his way and all of them have been killed by him. And his level has been increased to 10. Kazama noticed one thing that he also got mp and hp. Mp is related to skill as mp will be consumed inreturn for using some skills and hp is health. He also got some new skills. They are - "fly foot", this will increase his speed by tenfold or by tentimes. "Camouflage", according to its name it will make kazama's body invisible for some time according to its level and according to mp. "Sprint" it will increase kazama's speed 100 times but It would consume vast amount of mp.

After obtaining these skills kazama walked into the boss room which was the only monster that was left. The entrance was big and without any door. When kazama stepped in, the boss came up from above and landed infront of kazama. The first glance of boss which kazama saw was that the boss is a dinosaur. Dark coloured, big enough and with sharp teeth. Kazama after seeing the boss says "let's have fun", and he ran for an attack but with bare hands it didn't even scratch him so kazama called out his dagger, suddenly dinosaur starter attacking through his head, but kazama used his skill fly foot and increased his speed so kazama successfully dodged it and tried to land a blow on it through his dagger.

The dagger pierced through the dinosaur's feet. Kazama thought that he can now defeat a boss but when kazama was thinking of his next attack the dinosaur boss changed his shape and was converted into a big goblin. Kazama is surprised, but that goblin didn't gave him any time and punched kazama. Kazama fell into the wall but he soon stood up and smiled saying "now I have to kill you ". After seeing the boss changed shape kazama thought that" if the boss can change shape so I can aslo change shape and be changed back into my human form". After this kazama used his skill sprint and with his dagger he went for the boss's neck and beheaded the goblin boss in an instant. Before beheading the boss kazama was emitting a huge amount of intimidating aura. Since kazama used his skill sprint which consumes lot of mp so kazama now don't have enough mp so he thought of resting after leaving this cave. After killing the boss notifications came saying in many screens simultaneously

"you have killed the boss"

"You have reached level 13"

"You obtained a specific skill"

"Skill to change shape, you can increase its advantages and modify it into a better skill by using sp points"

"Cost is 50,000 sp points"

"Do you want to upgrade or modify it"

Kazama thought that by defeating someone you can also obtain their skill and he said yes to modify the skill since he gained some sp points by defeating monsters. Then another screen came saying "the skill will be modified in 5 seconds"

"5"

"4"

"3"

"2"

"1"

"Skill has been modified".

"Skill has been modified to system specific skill, and it will not consume mp". Kazama after hearing this used this skill and its name is "shape changer". A tremendous amount of energy and light is emitting from kazama and after it all went off, kazama was in his new form. Before changing shapes kazama was asked by the system that which shape did he want? But since kazama saw another screen saying that he only have human form and no other form is obtained yet so he chooses human form but he was already going to choose human form so it went good.

The new form which kazama got was his old body before coming here but his old form from the earth was modified into a new and more matured form. It's like he has now an adult body but deep inside he is a high schooler. This new form looks good but the main issue is of clothes and so kazama is standing naked. When kazama noticed this he became beet red from embarrassment but since no one is looking at him he felt relieved.

After this he waits for caravan to cross his way as many caravans were going in the Espin kingdom. After two days a caravan came and kazama stole some clothes from them with his camouflage skill. Now kazama also has clothes and kazama is also a human for the time being( by using his skill shape changer) so he decided to get into the Espin kingdom and look for some information as well as to see the area.
