Meanwhile, Aron and his little undead echo could be seen rapidly crashing down towards the direction of the riverbank (other side) at an astonishing speed.
At the moment Aron's mind was in complete disarray and his body was heavily injured…because at the moment of the terrifying blast, Aron's body was quite close to the blast radius, and as a result, the terrible shockwave that swept past his body left him heavily injured from inside out…with his internal organs ruptured, muscles torn apart, and with several broken bones, his body was a bloody mess…
As they started plummeting closer and closer to the riverbank, their crashing momentum also got stronger…and then with a loud "BANG!" they both crashed onto the hard rocky surface of the riverbank, tumbling and rolling for a while like two ragdolls…
After several rounds of bone cracking tumbling and crashing, their crashing momentum was fully absorbed by the countless bone-shattering impacts their bodies had to go through…and now they both just collapsed there, onto the hard ground like two broken kites…
After going through the nerve-wracking shitstorm…Aron was truly exhausted both mentally and physically, his body was a mess with countless broken bones, torn muscles, and ruptured internal organs…Lying there motionlessly on the hard rocky ground, he soon fell unconscious…
Meanwhile, the Nightmare-Bomber picked itself up from the ground and stood up on its bony little broken feet at a height of three ft…countless cracks ran across its black bony figure covered in red runic tattoos…its entire left arm was missing and the left side of its skull was completely shattered, but despite all of this…it was still fine and recovering…
The red runic tattoos all over its bones were glowing in a faint red light, rapidly absorbing the Nargy from the surroundings to mend its broken bones…
After picking itself up the bony little Nightmare-Bomber turned towards the unconscious Aron and started walking towards him, when it reached him, it just stood there motionlessly like a statue, guarding its exhausted and slumbering master…
But after a while, when it felt like its summonable time was nearing its end, it started looking around for a safer place to drag its slumbering master, to ensure its master's safety before it disappeared from this world…
After looking around for a while, it soon found a giant black tree a bit far away from its present location with lots of dried branches and sticks lying around it. With a determined look, the red flames burning in its hollow eye sockets started flickering with newfound fervor as it held its slumbering master by his shoulders and started dragging him towards the black tree…
Even though its size was only one-third of its master, it was still a tier-III aberrant that was in no way to be underestimated, so even with its tiny little cracked frame it still managed to drag its master's two-meter tall body to the destination.
After placing its master leaning against the giant black tree, the little bony echo stepped back and lifted its cracked skull to stare at the massive black tree…the tree was very tall with a towering height of twelve meters and its trunk roughly measuring around three meters in diameter….
The entire region past the deathly black river was extremely desolate with black parched land, and a forest full of demonic-looking black dry trees, these trees were no ordinary trees, no, in fact, nothing in the Nightmare realm could be considered ordinary…each and everything here was bizarre and nightmarish…
As soon as the little undead echo lifted its partially shattered skull to look at the demonic-black tree, suddenly an Enormous vertical slit appeared in the middle of the tree, that slowly started opening into a bizarre blood-red eye with a black horizontal pupil in the middle, making the tree appear truly demonic and terrifying…
The bizarre blood-red eye instantly turned downwards staring at the two creatures that were either brave or stupid enough to approach it…
One of the creatures was a tiny undead with broken bones and a partially shattered skull that was slowly recovering by itself…and the other creature was a small humanoid being that appeared to be unconscious at the moment.
This one had a pair of crystalline black wings emerging from its back, making it appear similar to those terrifying faeries it had come across at some point in its thousands of years of lifespan...
But the most shocking aspect about this humanoid creature was the monstrous quantity and quality of Nargy that was somehow retained within its small frame…but wasnt all, what was even more astounding was the fact that it could continue to absorb even more of it from the surroundings at a terrifying rate…
Staring at the humanoid creature, the massive red eye of the demonic-black tree started glinting with a look of unbridled greed and malice…
Noticing the Enormous eye staring at its master with malicious intent, the little undead echo raised its remaining small bony arm and started forming a tiny cartoonish black bomb with its fuse lit in red sparks, the tiny circular bomb was surrounded by a thick purple smoke-like ominous aura making it appear mysterious and terrifying…
The tiny ominous-looking bomb gradually started growing bigger and bigger until it turned into a giant pitch-black bomb, which was five times larger than itself…
Looking at the giant sinister-looking bomb, the Enormous demonic red-eye instinctively shrunk in size and the entire black tree started shivering and shaking like a leaf…
Noticing the giant tree shivering like that made the little skeleton grin with a sinister smile making its little hollow eye sockets turn into two crescent shapes…
But then suddenly it felt its summonable time coming to an end, so the little skeleton placed its giant bomb next to its slumbering master and then proceeded to change its(Bomb) ownership to its master by diverting the supply of Nargy from itself to its master. So that as long as the giant bomb continues to consume Nargy from its master, it would continue to exist…
After ensuring that its master would stay safe even in its absence, the loyal little Nightmare-Bomber then slowly started fading away…and after a few seconds, only the sleeping figure of Aron could be seen resting below the giant demonic black tree, which was staring fixedly at the giant cartoonish bomb, while feeling a constant sense of dread and danger from it…
…
Luckily while Aron was deep asleep, he was completely left undisturbed as not a single nightmare creature came anywhere near him to disrupt his peaceful slumber…
After a long time that felt like a couple of days, Aron's eyelids started to flicker, and his fingers twitched…Slowly opening his eyes, his gemlike bright purple eyes appeared slightly clouded, as if covered in a thin veil of confusion…
Slowly lifting his head, he tried looking around himself but his neck felt incredibly stiff and sore for some reason, he then tilted his head left and right making a loud cracking sound "KATAK"…after which he felt his neck becoming a bit more flexible and relaxed…
Looking around, the world around him appeared in a dark shade of purple…as if painted in a layer of purple watercolor…
'Looks like it's currently Night time…'
Thanks to his night vision he was perfectly able to see everything around him like it was daytime, albeit perceiving everything in a shade of purple…
Looking around for a while he found himself on the edge of a dark forest full of creepy black deciduous trees…after closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, he slowly started remembering everything that had happened just before he fell unconscious…
He remembered the terrifying colossal undead dragon-like monster, he remembered being pushed down by the sudden dreadful pressure, forcing him to fall into the wide open maw of the undead monster…he remembered summoning the Nightmare-Bomber and the terrifying shockwave that swept them both to the other side of the river…the last thing he remembered was the terrible bone shattering landing he had before his extremely fatigued mind and body completely collapsed…
Now after checking his current condition, he felt his body was completely healed, with no broken bones, ruptured internal organs, or torn muscles…all those injuries that he had received from that terrible crash were now fully healed, and his mind also felt refresh and clear, ready to start a new day or maybe a new night of exploration?
'This must be due to my monstrous Vitality stats…after leveling up to level 19 my Vitality stat went off the chart…with 720 points in Vitality which is my highest stat, it is as good as regeneration…'
Shaking his head, he picked himself up from the ground and started stretching his limbs and his awfully stiff and sore body, after a round of stretching with several loud cracking sounds his body now felt more relaxed and flexible, ready for some action…
Looking around him, his eyes were instantly drawn towards the giant black bomb that was placed right next to him, quickly taking a few steps black he stared at the menacing giant bomb belonging to one of his latest echos the Nightmare Bomber, cautiously…
'It must be the little guy who should have placed it right next to me to drive away any potential danger…'
'Come to think of it, I remember crashing somewhere near the riverbank of the deathly black river…'
'So it must also be the little skeleton that must have dragged my unconscious body to this place to ensure my safety…'
'Hah…what a thoughtful little skeleton, taking care of its unconscious master while at the same time ensuring its master's safety while it was gone… '
'I better praise it the next time I summon it… hmm, maybe I should give it a name…'
