"Thud", "Thud". Just when DELVIN had lost all his hopes and was waiting for his death to be approached, the altar which was rotating at high speed started to sink inside the ground depth by depth and soon the first floor of the altar completely disappeared inside the ground within seconds.
"Tring", "CLICK", a soul calming melodious bell sound resounded over the whole Bloodsoul realm as soon as the altar inserted itself into the ground, also the sound felt like it had traveled from an ancient past. Very soon a sound of a key being inserted into a lock accompanied it like it had opened a door to a new world.
"Sizzle", "Sizzle". Multicolored pipe like veins began to pop out from the ground where the altar stood and started to tear the whole barren land creating various segments of it. These pipe like veins had many colors to them like red, green, blue, golden, and many more. Moreover, these veins also had many branches to and this continued until the main pipe like veins and its branches reached the end of this realm, definitely the barrier still being there to stop them. As to why they were called veins is because they kept on pulsating within intervals. If one is being able to look from above he would notice that some branches of veins depicted a picture of ancient symbols, which were carved on the altar.
The sudden turn of events didn't even give a chance to Delvin to speak what was in his mind as he was left completely dumbfounded. If the people from his previous were to see his expression now they would also be dumbstruck as in his previous life no matter how much research work did he completed his mind didn't blank for even a movement.
"BOOM", just as DELVIN was on the verge on recovering his dumbfounded mental state to normal, a huge circular shockwave generated from the ground below the altar which knocked the far away standing him on the barrier, the shockwave brought the dumbfounded DELVIN back to his senses rapidly. But strangely enough, when he was expecting his soul to be damaged badly due to collision, he noticed that he was in full perfect shape with no damage at all, moreover, the scenery in front of him has been completely changed.
He noticed that in front is a vast grassland covering the whole land which were swaying continuously by air currents, the sun was also shining very brightly which made the whole scenery look very beautiful. There was also a short haired kid, the same age as him currently standing in the middle of the grassland, the kid has a very dark red skin and is wearing simple pants while leaving his chest bare open showing his outgrown muscles and a build physique. The youth was carrying a very long and broad metal sword, which was of the same height as him and as broad as to cover his whole chest.
"CLANG", just as DELVIN opened his mouth to ask the kid which place was this and who he was, the youth unsheathed his sword and released a very murderous glare at him as if he had killed the youth's parents. The glare completely petrified and suffocated Delvin, as if he even moved slightly, he would be killed in an instant.
"Howl", an animal roar sounded from the back of him which helped him to return to his senses, when he turned his head back his face completely drained all its color and became pale with fear. The scenery was completely was completely different from the vast grasslands that he saw at the front, there was a large gloomy forest with very big trees and darkness covered the whole forest, no sunlight entering inside the forest as if blocked by some kind of barrier around it. But this forest wasn't the main part that made him feared rather it was a large black colored wolf with red eyes standing outside of the border of the gloomy forest.
The wolf was almost 15 feet tall and its body was covered with sharp black scales. The wolf was also releasing a heavy murderous aura and was staring at him domineeringly while also standing in an attacking stance as it would attack at any time. While all these things were going on Delvin didn't notice that he was still in soul form and although his soul form was experiencing pressure from both sides, his body was not showing any weakness whatsoever happened.
"HOWL", the wolf howled again and attacked directly on him by jumping above the ground and stretching his front legs forming a claw. "SWISH", just as he thought that he would definitely die this time, an air splitting sound echoed from behind him and within no time the short haired youth had swung his long sword horizontally in a semi-circular rotational manner with only his left hand.
He looked back with slightly tilting his head and noticed that the long sword swinging direction was towards his neck, or to say simply his neck was in the middle of both the attacks. Due to instinct he squatted down to avoid both the attacks on him and noticed that the tip of the long sword passed above his head and clashed with the wolf claws. But the expected clashing sound didn't rang out rather the claws moved in the same rotational manner of the long sword with its tip touched on the claws ,it was as if the wolf had no weight and was sticked to the tip of the sword like a magnet.
When the wolf moved towards the last rotation point of the semicircle the short haired youth withdrew his sword and jumped above while holding the sword with both hands and swung his sword down in a vertical direction directly chopping the beast scaled wolf in half. Yeah, in just one and a half move the beast which had completely terrified him was dead just like that.
"Thank you for saving me", Delvin said to the short haired youth, as no matter what even though he had swung his sword without consideration of his head he was still saved from death. He also knew that even though the fight seemed rather easy, it was definitely not so as the youth had used his great momentum to deflect the beast with a very precise angle and while the beast was caught off guard, he used only his muscle power for chopping the beast in half. One had to train his physical body to a very high level to even ignore the scales on the beast.
"Hmm", strangely enough the short haired youth didn't reply a word and continued to walk toward the beast as if there was nobody present at all and completely ignored him. Just as he was going to call out to the youth again for questioning him, he noticed that his surrounding had started to blur and then the scenery completely turned black later.
"Was it just an illusion, Sigh", he said to himself after opening his eyes sawing a familiar place of a deep pit, while his head was still in a hazy state due to what had happened earlier. After facing so many death situations he finally returned to the outside world.
"What is this black sticky substance on my body, guess I'll really have to take a bath and search for some food." A sticky type of black fluid was present on all over his body which smelled like a rotten egg, apart from that his stomach produced a hungry sound which reminded him that he had not eaten food for a time, so after feeling comfortable he jumped to climb the deep pit again and traveled forward to search for food and water source.
As for returning back to Bloodsoul space to enter inside the altar, he rejected the thought right away as just thinking about that brought fear on his face. So he now thought to gather his accumulations first then thinking about making his move to enter the realm again.
The sun was shining brightly like every day and radiating its light everywhere, the tornado was still rotating but this time it was slower than usual. A lone naked man started to walk to search for food and water in a half destroyed place without any help, the scene was really ironic as no matter what power or a divine treasures a person receives he still has to walk a path alone to quench his desires, which was no different from an ordinary life on earth.
