My fight against the waves continued for was seemed to be thousands of sols of nonstop hammering. I attempted to fight back, and somehow was able to breakdown some of the waves which allowed my cursed mana palace to absorb them, creating even denser lifeforce energy being sent to the Divine kingdom palace. As A result, I feel much strong, faster, and more powerful than before I started this trial. Still nothing I have now would be enough to keep these wave at bay for long.
After what seemed to be a million sols, I finally caved in as the weight of constant fighting overtook me. As the waves hammered my body, all I could do was endure the assault. To be honest, I didn't feel any pain but was assaulted with mental signals of "pain" which infiltrated all the way down to my very soul, making me reel backwards as if I were in actual pain. This continued for what seemed to be millions of sols, yet I had to endure it all.
As the waves like Midgardsormr tails lashed my body endlessly, I decided to not fight back. Instead, I'd focus solely on having my accursed mana palace absorb the cursed energy. After all this time, the mana palace never showed any signs of reaching its limits.
Taking a glance at the tattoo on my arm, I noticed the runic marking seemed to form some kind of serpentine creature of sorts. The tattoo wrapped around my arm with it head at the location of my mana palace and the tail atop my shoulder. The tattoo monster grew ass the mana palace absorbed my energy.
It didn't take long for the runic beast to grow fatter, longer, and more detailed. The whole thing was giving me a bad feeling. Yet, I was too far gone at this point to stop what was happening. If I even tried to, my death would only be a matter of seconds with the waves still at work.
I remained in this uncomfortable condition for a long time. Until eventually (or luckily), I no longer cared how long I had been inside the trial. The sensation of "pain" became so familiar to me, I was numb to any external stimuli.
The images of my family, friends, lovers dying after having their bodies mutilated, violated, and eventually disfigured from the abuse became a common occurrence to me. I even notice a smile on their faces as they were violated by their assailants, as if they wanted me to watch them be abused before their deaths.
Deep inside I grew tired of this display and wanted to get out of this endless blood and sex death-show before me. As a response, I started killing everyone in the illusions. It didn't matter who they portrayed; moms, dads, my sisters, Ivy, Cavilhaugh, Geoffrey, Anansi.
The illusions even swapped to the people who were raping, abusing and originally killing my family and friends. I killed everyone, my heart as cold as ice while doing it. Still, no matter how many I killed, or how many times I killed the same people, the illusions never stopped coming.
And yet what did change were the events in the illusions. Instead of my family getting attacked, now everyone in all of Ohmdorra was out for my blood. These illusions hunted me down as if I were a demonic dragon or my forefathers who brought the demonic dragons here.
No matter what, all life on the planet sought my total destruction. In this illusion, I knew this was a likely future should the truth be made known regarding my family's history. The entire world may try to eliminate me and mine for the atrocities my ancestors have ushered into this world.
Still, as if something snapped in me, I began to radiate bloodlust like never before!
"Fuck this world and all who would blame me for things I have had no input in when creating them. Fuck these illusions that never stop. Fuck the creator of this dungeon. Since you want everything to be my enemy, then fine. It is me against the fucking world then!"
I shouted, infusing my aura and magoi into my killing intent, giving it shape and form. By the time my killing intent was fully formed, what stood surrounding me was a colossal version of myself. Only giant me(?) had 4 heads looking in every direction.
Each face had a different Hannya mask on which showed a different expression, and the number of horns on the masks double when looking at them in clockwise order. 11 arms all wielding plasmasabers with a different elemental saber art spell and 1 arm wielding a plasmasaber with Atomicsaber evoked. Ra's Domain enshrouded the colossus with 20 stellar cores all with different elements radiating from them.
"Shii… Did I just create a S*****o!? Fuck! Now is not the time for this shit."
I cussed at myself. This "Bloodlust Avatar" as I will call it waved its swords towards the energy tsunamis, bisecting them in the process. Once split., the energy was directly absorbed by the avatar, causing it to take on a more sinister appearance, while the purified runoff energy was absorbed by the accursed mana palaces. As a result, a more purified lifeforce filled the egg inside the Divine Kingdom palace.
"Fuck yeah! I've had enough of this place and am ready to get out of here."
I said to myself as I commanded the Bloodlust Avatar to destroy the waves. Then afterwards, carve out a path for me to leave this place. My avatar fought for thousands of sols until I reached what seemed to be the source of the waves.
Laying on its belly before me, was a serpent that made the Midgardsormr I encountered look like a cute cuddly plushie toy in comparison. This serpent was a million times larger than the Midgardsormr and although it had similar features to that snake, this one before me was shrouded in caustic flames from head to tail. Even its appendages were covered in the caustic flames.
Based on the appearance and overall size, the only thing I can think of is this serpent here is an adult sized Midgardsormr and not the adolescent one I've seen in the dungeon. No matter, the beast is going to die tonight! Using my avatar, I fired a barrage of sword waves which woke the creature and cut somewhat deeply into is scales.
"Kisshhaa!! Annoying speck! How dare you attack me. Die now as punishment!!"
The enormous serpent then spewed an ocean of caustic flames at me. Using Ra's Domain, I was able to prevent myself from turning into a puddle of boiling puss, still I was unable to land any additional attacks while this ocean of death continued to flow out of the snake's mouth. Reading myself, I flew high up above the serpent and fired a colossal sized Elemental Fallout spear.
BOOOMMM!!!
The spear directly pierced deeply into the scales of beast before exploding, waves of death decapitating the serpent as a massive mushroom cloud formed where its head should be. With the guardian of this void place dead. I flew towards my freedom which was a small portal of sorts.
"Finally, I will be leaving this place for good!"
I said to myself as I passed through the portal, light blinding me, so I was unable to see where I had ended up. Once my sight returned, I found myself in another lightless place.
