Chapter 7 - Start of a Journey

Dante took a deep breath as he got up from the bed.

Why does this kind of stuff keeps happening to me? It hasn't even been 2 hours since I transmigrated and I have made a possible connection with a fallen diety and a notice of an entity that is possibly at the level of God... Also, the pain was just like when I touched the Aetherius scribe but was different. I felt that I was going to be deleted from existence but thankfully I got saved by that clock...

Was this dream a divination? No... I already did a divination before that..... Also that mausoleum and those creepy eyes in the swirling sky was enough to shake my mind and terrify me to my limits..

... My Vitralis Essence has been fully restored and it's quantity seems to be bigger than before...i could now mantain the Essence to my body for approximately 25 minutes and atmost 45 minutes at a specific location...Is it because of the dream? and I have also recovered from the weakened state....Should I do a divination about the dream?... No Dante, don't do it. Those are possibly dieties or someone with great power, any divination relating to them might gravely injure me or even kill me. The old man also said that some dieties can know if someone is talking about them and to not pry on forbidden things.. It's better to not do it.

While Dante was thinking deepy while laying on the bed, he noticed a ray of light from beneath the door.

Huh? Has it already been daytime?.. I must have slept for a long time.. Divination from the 'Harmony of Sun and Moon ' Technique is something that should be done when I am at a safe location. It's not suitable for every place.. Dante analysed and made a conclusion.

Dante got up from the bed and stretched his hands before opening the door.

The scenery in front of him was the same as before with the same murals and the dismembered corpses but they didn't looked as horrifying as before.

Dante stopped after walking towards the corpses and became silent.

Sigh, You all have my deepest gratitude.

It was unclear whether these were words that came from Aurelius consciousness or Dante's original consciousness.

Dante then gathered all the corpses that were visible to him. There were 4 corpses. Dante then took a few steps before he raised his hands.

A swirl of energy silver in colour was released from his hands and almost instantly, They clamped together to form a hammer that was the size of a rod and accelerated towards the ground. Just before the impact, the glow of the hammer increased and-

Baaam

A short explosion took place at the point of contact and dust scattered around. After a few moments, the dust dissipated and revealed a small crator.

Dante who backed away just before the explosive, wiped the dust from his clothes.

My control has also increased significantly.. I can now change the shape of the Vitralis Essence.... Although for only around 7 or 8 seconds.

Dante then buried them in the crator and closed his eyes. Dante raised his hand, touching his heart and bowed a little.

May you all rest in peace.

There was silent for a few moments before Dante opened his eyes. He then spent a few minutes in burying them completely.

Dante then raised his head to look toward the sun.

Atleast there's only one sun.. The sun is on the left side from the centre of the Ruins, so I have to go to the right side to reach the Solarionis kingdom.

Dante then gazed towards his right side to see a forest continuing. At the starting of the forest were bushes and small shrubs on the sides with some giant trees that were unfamiliar to Dante.

Forest.. It must be packed with Magical creatures and beasts... Is there really no other way to reach the kingdom?

Dante looked around but had no success as all he saw were giant trees, forest and shrubs.

Sigh. It's the starting of my first journey since I Transmigrated... I need to be careful.

Dante then took a last gaze towards the murals before he went on towards the forest. Dante knew that if he were to walk on the ground, then he would be inviting other creatures to sneak attack on him. So he decided to navigate from tree to tree.

As for how did Dante know how to climb a tree, the truth was he didn't knew a single thing about climbing trees. In his past life, he had rarely gone to any forest or trips as he was busy with his daily life.

So the reason for him able to climb up trees was due to him becoming a Neophyte. When he became a Neophyte, his control over his body has increased significantly and so he can easily Parkour over the trees.

And hence, Dante in just few seconds was able to climb the whole tree. The tree's bark was rock hard, even harder than the trees that Dante touched in his previous life.

The soil was a little strange. The soil of the forest was black but with a little bit of blueish colour.

Dante who was at the top of the tree slowly and steadily walked forward. This new experience for Dante was exciting for him as he grinned a little while travelling over the trees.

Of course, he was not travelling without being reinforced with the Vitralis Essence. He was continuously using Vitralis Essence in his eyes to see through things. His vision was very clearer and detailed then before. It felt as if he suddenly had the eyes of an Eagle.

The wind blew slightly in Dante's face who suddenly stopped in his tracks to look around.

Around him was a normal scenery of the giant trees with blue and yellow flowers, bushes and shrubs. It was a total peaceful and calm scenery but Dante's intuition which had been amplified from when he was a mortal told otherwise.

Swish

Dante suddenly moved to the ground as he shifted the Vitralis Essence on his legs and arrived at his destination.

Clang

The place that Dante was before had been destroyed completely by a dark silhouette. The silhouette revealed himself to Dante as it stood opposite to him. The beast was like a Tiger from his previous life but with Red eyes, dark orange colour with blue stripes and an additional eye on top of the existing two ones. It's claw were deep black in colour, which he used to destroy the upper part of the tree.

Both figure stood opposite to each other and a small grin appeared on Dante's face.
