In a deserted forest on another plane
two monsters were engaged in a tense battle.
one of the monsters looked like a bear and the other was like a tiger but these beasts were different from the one in Ziveria.
Their bodies were like a pile of abnormal muscles, and their teeth and claws were much longer than normal beasts. The color of their eyes was green and their blood was like a toxic green poison.
Their bodies were covered in strange chaotic patterns. Their eyes bore a look of bloodlust and madness that can send shivers down the back of even the bravest warriors.
Both monsters were covered in blood and wounds.
The look of madness in their eyes was mixed with a look of exhaustion. It was evidence of the end of the fight .
As both monsters stared at each other, preparing to engage in one last bloody clash a white light appeared between them .
A cautious look appeared in the eyes of the two monsters due to this strange phenomenon, but neither of them backed down .
After a few seconds , the light disappeared, leaving Rael bloodied body behind .
The two monsters looked at him for a moment, and then they smelled him, which led to the appearance of a crazy look in their eyes, like the look of an alcoholic who found alcohol after many years.
The two monsters started to roar and prepared to attack, but at that moment two fireballs hit them and exploded upon collision with them, which led to them being engulfed by two giant flame balls.
The monsters started to roar in pain, but two more fireballs were enough to finish the job .
"What kind of ugly beasts is this ? Well that's not my problem I should find a village or city to stay in for the moment and then I can start exploring this new plane to find a high-energy item and wait for the system to return " thought Rael
he looked around and was surprised by the climate of this plane. The trees filled the horizon and it was several meters tall . and the sky was covered in black clouds . Some thunder could be heard or lightning striking frequently could be seen as well.
The wind was also like a blade If it hit the body of an ordinary person, his body would be full of wounds .
"What kind of plane is this ? is there a race that can live here ? well I guess I will just search for a safe place for the moment to heal my injuries and rest and then I can start searching around "
Rael felt pain when he looked at his missing arm . even though he can still use spells with his other hand as a dual weapons user this loss will affect his close combat ability dramatically.
After a few seconds of heartbreak, he took out the high apprentice orc he killed with Daniel from his ring went to the top of a tree and drink it .
" It's good that I thought of the possibility of the system having a problem and I bought a ring with a larger space and put everything I may need in it "
After drinking it his speed of healing increased and half an hour later Rael went to see the two monsters he had hunted . He first approached the tiger as it was the closest one .
" Wow ! These are some really ugly beasts . Why are they like this? Why is their blood green? what are these patterns? And the most important question is why do I feel that my recovery speed increased when I approached them? I felt this feeling a little when I killed them but I thought I was imagining " wondered Rael
After a few seconds of observing , he tried to suck some of its blood, he is a vampire after all, but when he brought his fangs closer to the tiger's blood, he felt his instincts warn him sternly . As if what he wanted to do would lead to his death .
" what the hell is wrong with this plane ? I can't even suck some blood ? I'm a vampire for god sake . ~ sigh ~ I guess I will use Stored blood " thought Rael
But when he turned around and wanted to leave, the patterns on the tiger's body began to disappear .
Rael was surprised and He reached for the bear's body to check it out and the same thing was happening to it too .
"What kind of places is this ? Couldn't the system just send me to a normal plane ? "
After observing the bear's body until the patterns were gone as well, he left and went to climb the tallest tree to get the best view .
He started looking around and after a few minutes he found a tall tree sticking out among the others, its end almost touching the sky
As Rael started climbing the memories and emotions he held from his previous fight came back. and a killing intent aura formed around him as his anger surged .
" those cowards really sent 5 peak apprentices for an intermediate apprentice. They even had a traitor on our side to attack me . If it wasn't for the system's help I would be a corpse by now . Just wait for my return I will make every motherfucker who attacked me regret his decision . " Rael vowed in his heart
As anger reached unprecedented heights within Rael that he didn't expect it could reach. It all stopped when he reached the top of the tree .
The scene before him left Rael speechless. Perched high in the embrace of a towering tree, he gazed out hundreds of kilometers across this new plane .
Dark clouds, filled with mystery, stretched across the expanse of sky, their edges illuminated by the ceaseless dance of thunder and lightning that illuminated the unknown.
Below, the land unfolded like a tapestry of secrets. Tall trees reached towards the heavens, their trunks shrouded in shadow.
In the distance, volcanoes punctuated the horizon, their smoky peaks made a stark contrast against the dark sky.
As he scanned the horizon, Rael's eyes caught the grandeur of distant mountains, their peaks reaching towards the heavens as if aspiring to touch the very stars that battled to light up the darkness that engulfed the sky .
Yet, even amidst the chaos, beauty endured in the form of sparkling streams winding their way through the land, glinting like silver threads.
His breath caught as he looked up, his gaze was drawn to the sky, where fantastical creatures soared amidst the clouds-covered sky and the lightning-lit clouds. Their forms were as mysterious as the unfamiliar world he had found himself in.
All the anger that was burning inside him was extinguished, and amazement and admiration took its place .
Rael watched the scene in front of him for a few more seconds and then he remembered why he was here. And he started observing the surrounding areas
"Well, it seems that this place is divided into three parts. I think the place I'm in is an outer area as the beasts I killed previously were just apprentice stage but I can sense many strong auras from the inner part probably at the master magus level .
As for the central parts just by looking there, I felt shivers down my spine. It's not a place where I can even think of going to ." thought Rael .
After choosing a direction Rael went down .
and he went in the direction of a volcano he spotted previously .
________
A few hours later .
It was nighttime now .
Rael was covered in sweat and blood - a feeling he got used to during the past month - the only difference was that the blood was green this time . and it had The blood had a toxic effect that would make him itch if it was a normal human the blood would be enough to kill him in a few seconds.
even an intermediate apprentice would bleed If he was exposed to it for a long time . well, Rael wasn't a normal intermediate apprentice. but even for him, it was very annoying
He even took several showers in some rivers he met on his way to the volcano but the density of the beasts here was very high . in his way he killed 24 beasts with a strength of an intermediate apprentice and 7 with the strength of a high apprentice.
one should know that this number was close to the number of warriors he would kill in the war when he first arrived .
The good thing is since the arrival of the night, it became easy for him to pass without a fight because of his speed or his ability to hide thanks to his spells .
In addition, he can easily spot the volcano due to its flaming peak . he estimated that it will take around 30 minutes to reach his destination.
_______
40 minutes later .
Rael was in a cave near the volcano .The air inside was pure of the dust of the volcano because of the cave's unique location .
He was going to sleep but he decided to cultivate after sensing the density of the particles of fire and darkness around .
It was on another level compared to everything he felt before . he can understand the density of fire particles but he couldn't understand why was the darkness particles also dense .
Not knowing why did not stop him from feeling happy and starting to cultivate as he closed his eyes
________
An hour later
Rael opened his eyes feeling comfort and excitement.
"With this speed I can easily triple my previous cultivation speed. it will be a matter of three or for months to reach the master magus stage ."
he closed his eyes again and returned to cultivate feeling motivated.
