After that She enjoyed the tranquility of the green grassland while closing her eyes. "Ah, always, the grass on the other side is not only greener, but also more charming than the grass in your own yard."
Aether opened his eyes and tried to collect his thoughts "Hmm... I'd better look for information first."
As Aether stepped deeper into the forest, the atmosphere changed drastically. Big trees with dense leaves make the forest dark and scary.
The wind blowing through the trees produced an ominous sound, as if something was watching from the shadows.
Suddenly, Aether felt the presence of something large and powerful. She stopped for a moment, listening carefully. The sound of heavy footsteps shaking the ground was getting closer.
From the darkness, a terrifying figure emerged. The creature was huge, twice the height of an ordinary human, with bulging muscles all over its body. Its skin is rough and grayish, as if it were made of stone.
His fiery red eyes stared at Aether with deep hatred. The creature let out a roar that echoed throughout the forest, sending birds flying and small animals running to hide. Aether knew that She couldn't run away from this fight.
"Are you...?" Aether muttered under his breath.
The creature just growled, showing its sharp fangs. Aether readied his weapon, trying to calm himself and look for the creature's weak point.
The creature is Gronthar, Daemon of the Abyss. The Existing Devil Gronthar is known as a lower level devil, but one thing is certain that Gronthar will not let anyone run away from him easily.
With impressive speed for a creature of that size, Gronthar leapt towards the Aether, swinging a huge claw that could destroy a tree with a single blow. Aether dodged nimbly, feeling the wind from the attack pass over his face.
The battle was fierce. Aether used all the abilities and strategies he had to fight Gronthar. She swung his weapon with precision, looking for gaps in the creature's defenses. However, each attack only seemed to make Gronthar more angry and vicious.
At that moment Gronthar used a roar and released purple electricity which attracted the aether and captured it. At that time, Aether couldn't do anything and could only surrender, however, an unexpected miracle occurred. Light came out of Aether's chest which blinded Gronthar, Quickly aether got out of Gronthar's grasp, "That light earlier? Hah, now's not the time, Aether" Muttered Aether
And After n the midst of the fight, Aether saw a strange flash of purple light on the crystal stone in Gronthar's chest. She immediately realized that it might be the source of the creature's power. With new determination, he focused on attacking the weak point.
Aether now uses dodging tactics and attacks face to face using the "Wind Sprint" Alteration, then now he uses a new technique after he previously fought the enemy, namely the "Slime Binding" Alteration skill which can bind the enemy. With that, Aether binds Gronthar's legs and then gives him a restoration skill, namely "Poisonous Fang", which releases magic in the form of a green snake flying at her and then paralyzing the enemy.
Gronthar fell and was immediately shot by Aether's firearm and pierced his sword until a thunderous roar shook the ground. However, it still has less impact on Gronthar. She can still stand up and Aether uses the same technique over and over again.
After several attempts, Aether succeeded in thrusting his weapon into and destroying the crystal. Gronthar let out a terrifying roar, her body shaking violently before finally collapsing to the ground and dying.
Aether was panting, exhausted after the hard fight. She looked at Gronthar's now helpless body, feeling relieved but also worried. "If a demon like Gronthar exists in this world at a low level, what else is waiting ahead?". But Aether saw something in the new crystal shard from Gronthar, "Hmm...Wa-Wait a minute! Is this?" Aether was surprised that what she found was a new Blitz Crystal.
"Just a Blitz Crystal! I Remembered That With This I Could Take It to Him to Find Auriel." Aether was happy and cried a little "Okay, enough of crying, Aether, let's go to the next destination." Knowing That She Wasn't Wasting Time He Went To His Next Destination.
Carefully, Aether continued his journey through the dungeon, hoping to find a way out of this dimension and back to his friends. However, She knows that this journey is still long and full of dangers that she does not yet know about.
