The meat tastes bad, but I don't mind. As far as I have observed, my body likes raw meat more. I think the bacteria in raw meat have some kind of benefit for sleeping gas. That's the only possibility I can think of.
Are you asking how I got here? It was a little difficult but somehow with temporary injuries 4. managed to defeat the layer guard. Although part of my cheek was smashed, there was not much trouble because it healed quickly.
With the new evolution, I have been endowed with a superhuman recorering ability. But when you drink water, some of it spills out.
'It's frustrating...'
As far as I observed when I was fighting, the power of my sleeping gas decreased, but the effect area increased. When exposed for a long time, they are guaranteed to faint or something close to it.
It used to only come out on my fingertips, but now it comes out all over my hands. It must be a good thing. But the most important part, my muscles, have become weak.
Yes, although I was strong when I first arrived, my muscles are not developing. Like it's like it stuck. And this is a very bad situation for me.
But there were 2 big events that closed this shortcoming of mine. I have a recovery factor and the endurance of my muscles is 8-9 times better than before.
If I used to be able to hold a rock for 10 minutes, now I can hold it for hours without difficulty.
And the biology of my body is very disrupted. How long I was in the sewer there. My body is able to switch to a liquid form, at least a little.
This helps me a lot with flexibility, in fact, if I could change the skeleton construction, it wouldn't taste good. It would be nice if I had a titanium skeleton like this. If I remember correctly, titanium is compatible with the human body.
If my spine was titanium-based instead of carbon-based, I'd be getting stronger like crazy, better than having my back to that shitty magic. Anyway, I'm done eating. Let's keep moving forward.
If I remember correctly, 5. layer is the last, but what kind of monsters come out? For some reason I don't remember.
'It's here... Silence.'
It's dark around here, but the floor is made of wood, and this is the familiar smell...
"The smell of blood?!"
There's a lot of blood coming from up ahead. I quickly started releasing sleeping gas before heading there. When I got there, I was shocked by what I saw...
"Hahaha... How could I have forgotten about this place. 5. floor was the ghosts of the past."
Yes, the bodies of my parents dying on the ground. If they're here, he should be here.
My body moved on its own and I could barely fend off the incoming attack.
I still can't quite make sense of things, but it's real, isn't it?
I never thought I'd see that bastard in real life. Can I beat him? I don't know, but I don't have a choice.
After starting with the flame fist, he is faster than me, although I attack his legs with twin kicks. For some reason, I started to feel a chill from where my left kidney was.
'Very strong...'
I looked towards him, and he threw the part he had torn from me on the ground. Without waiting, he attacked again, but I answered with a kick to the head. He stuck to the floor and I started beating myself up.
You may ask who this person is. Unfortunately, I can't tell you now, this person is a taboo and a fear even for me.
'Shit, the wound he caused is too serious, but I can't even get mad at him.'
I don't like this fucking past at all... There must be a cigarette around here somewhere... I found.
I immediately lit a cigarette and quietly began to quietly examine the 3 corpses.
"..."
"How long are you going to hide?"
"I've been waiting for that drink of yours to run out."
There was a devil in front of me, according to the people who cleaned this place before, the devil was the king's servant.
"Well, how's the scene."
"There is a child who lost his parents, it's a beautiful scene."
"He didn't lose his family, he killed it."
He looked at me in disbelief, but I didn't change my face at all.
"Isn't that funny? Although his family attacked him, he killed his family and his relatives looked at him as a monster."
"A tragic past."
"You're right."
The more I look at this scene, the more my memories quake, but that's it. It scares me inwardly that I still have no knowledge of that being.
When I ran out of cigarettes, I threw it on the floor and made my way out of here. I left, leaving my past behind.
"By the way, where is the reward."
"You get the reward when you kill the monster."
"But I killed him?"
"He's not quite dead yet, he'll probably die soon."
"OK. Say hello to the devil for me."
"I'll pass on."
And he shuffled into the shadow.
'I wonder when will I reach this level?'
Suddenly, the surroundings began to light up, and this was a sign that the monster was dead.
But no matter how long I waited, no reward came, and just when I was trying to figure out what had happened, I started to get dark and lose my emotions.
"Huh?"
'Sudden death?!'
But at the same speed my senses came back. I was relieved when I saw the devil in front of me, but he didn't seem very calm.
"What happened?"
"Come and sit down, I'll tell you."
I looked around and realized that he was in some kind of throne room. The throne room is beautiful.
"I'm coming straight to the point, an alien creature has entered this world."
"Stranger? What're you getting at?"
"This is a place isolated from the universe, if you remember. But someone managed to get in here from the outside."
"So what does this have to do with me, what do you want from me?"
"The thing is, this intruder is actually the remnant of one of the demigods who tried to kill me."
Residue? What is that.
"Is this relic that you say is a special item of his?"
"No, when I killed that demigod, his body changed shape and a new life form was formed. I think I have to explain, there was a movie called venom in your world, a creature similar to it."
"Similar? Then what's the difference."
"The difference is that it strengthens the person to whom it is attached and does not have a weight. Oh, and he can change his body by absorbing mines."
"This... It's a very powerful feature, isn't it?"
"No, for demigods, such things are no different from garbage. It might be good for mortals."
"You say mortal, but when the universe disappears, you will also disappear."
This was very much on my mind, if I'm not wrong, the universe also had a lifetime.
"The universe will not disappear, neither in the past nor in the future. It will never disappear."
"Why?!"
"This is not the time, try to find that creature for now. You will be in the same world as the next round live."
"Okay, then will you send me back?"
"Finally, I wouldn't advise you to go into churches much. These pastors are busy expanding their territory."
"Isn't it wide already? Where will they get more?"
"I don't know, but it doesn't satisfy them that they only get 10-20 people every second. If what I'm afraid happens to me, I'll let you know."
After snapping his finger, s/he sent me back. When I came back, I realized that my prize was on the ground.
"That's what I was looking for."
In front of me is an apple that can store meaning in itself. When he defeats the basic principle, it enters his blood and increases the mana storage capacity of his body.
Although I can only buy this every round, it's a useful item. But, unfortunately, it does not increase much. For example, if the mana capacity of the average person in this world is 100, this apple increases by 110.
But the mana capacity of a magician is about 2000 or so. It is a good apple because it increases the mana directly.
If I remember correctly, after eating the apple, demonic energy ripened in his body. It could also be because he made a deal with the devil.
'We shouldn't dwell on the little details.'
Although my mana storage has increased, the only way I can use and absorb mana is through my nose and mouth, since I don't have a mana vessel.
I mean, I can only do magic with my mouth. Which is a little frustrating... Actually, it would be cool if I vomited fire out of my mouth, but how am I going to learn that spell?
This is also a mystery. I'm out of the dungeon for now. My new destination is the Kingdom of Mars. There are definitely mana circulation techniques with breathing from the books there, I also need to learn a new martial art technique.
This is the foot and fist techniques I learned, but I hardly learned any body techniques. Because the fact that my master tried to teach me in this limited time was already close to impossible in itself. And at the beginning of each round, his suspicion increases.
I began to look at the shining moon on the hill and sighed deeply.
Do I really want to go back to my previous world?'
I can't give a clear answer to that. In any case, there is nothing left that connects me to my previous world. But everything that connects me to this world disappears every time I die.
Note: My dear readers, the chapter has came quite late. It's because of my school, hard life and exams. Yes I'm already dead. And tomorrow, that is, Monday for me, if there is time left from projects, I will do the next chapter. Have a nice days readers.
