A new day awaits me and i went to the temple to see the orb floating again, after touching it i got a diamond helmet and the orb disappeared, i have to wait three more days before it can replenish.
I dont know what to do today cause i pretty am bored, i could go out exploring but that would expose my base to intruders.
"What to do what to do…well maybe i should meditate and try to get in sync with my nether and end aura"
made my way to a quiet corner of my base, away from the hustle and bustle of the world outside. I set up a comfortable spot and began to focus on my breathing, attempting to clear my mind.
Focusing on my aura, I could feel the faint energy of the Nether and End emanating within me. I closed my eyes and concentrated, visualizing the connection between these energies and my own. The aura of the Nether felt fiery and intense, while the End's aura was cold and enigmatic.
I worked on harmonizing these opposing forces, envisioning them blending into a single, balanced energy. With each breath, I sought to align myself with the unique power of each realm, allowing their influences to complement rather than clash.
Minutes turned into hours as I delved deeper into this meditative state. I felt a subtle shift within myself, a growing sense of clarity and strength. By the time I finished, I felt more centered, my mind sharpened and my aura more attuned to the energies around me.
"I want to shoot something" Thay was the first thing that came to my mind, so i took the Blood Bow and decided to build a tower which took me about ten minutes, it was a very short tower.
"Now what" i said with a flat expression, this was not an active way to hunt, maybe i should fight the wither. "hmm i wonder" But that would be a very bad idea at the moment, i'll just go into a cave and test it, the message said that it uses my blood to shoot arrows.
But that sounds like a lot of work, whatever i'll probably just het bored and build a huge and obscene structure which i would probably later abandon. I sighed and went out into the forest.
My diamond sword was in my inventory while the bow was on my hand, i had about a quarter stack of mutton.
As I ventured deeper into the forest, the trees thickened, their shadows creating a patchwork of light and dark on the forest floor. The soft crunch of leaves underfoot was the only sound, save for the occasional rustle of a small creature darting away. The Blood Bow felt heavier in my hand, a reminder of its power and the cost it demanded.
I decided to test the bow, choosing a sturdy oak tree as my target. Drawing the bowstring back, I felt a strange sensation, as if the bow was pulling something from within me. The arrow that materialized was dark, almost crimson, with an ominous glow. I released the string, and the arrow shot forward with a speed and force that surprised me. It pierced the oak tree clean through, embedding itself in another tree several meters behind.
I winced as a sudden weakness washed over me, the bow indeed taking its toll. I quickly checked my inventory, noticing that my health had dropped slightly. "So, it really does use my blood," I muttered, a mix of awe and caution in my voice.
Satisfied, but also wary of overusing the bow, I continued my trek through the forest. The landscape was familiar, yet each visit brought new discoveries. As I walked, my thoughts wandered back to the temple and the orb. The diamond helmet I received was sturdy, but I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to the orb's power—something I hadn't yet unlocked.
As I moved further, I stumbled upon a cave entrance. The yawning blackness of the cave beckoned me, offering a chance to explore and perhaps find something of value. I hesitated, knowing that caves could be dangerous, especially with the Blood Bow draining my energy.
But the pull of the unknown was too strong to resist. I took a deep breath and stepped inside, the darkness swallowing me whole. The cave was cold, the air thick with the smell of damp earth and stone. I drew my diamond sword, its familiar weight comforting in my hand.
I proceeded cautiously, my eyes adjusting to the dim light as I descended deeper into the cave. The sound of dripping water echoed through the cavern, a reminder of the world above that seemed so distant now.
Suddenly, I heard a faint growl from the shadows. Suddenly i had some very bloodthirsty Thoughts, if i could see myself my eyes were glowing with a mix of crimson and purple colored aura.
The growl grew louder, reverberating through the cavern walls, and I could feel the thrill of an imminent fight course through me. My grip tightened on the diamond sword, and without a second thought, I drew the Blood Bow once more, ignoring the slight twinge of weakness that followed. The shadows moved, and I caught a glimpse of glowing eyes—a creature lurking just out of sight.
The bloodthirsty thoughts intensified, pushing me to unleash the bow's power. I pulled back the string, feeling the familiar drain of energy as another dark, crimson arrow formed. This time, I didn't hesitate. I released the arrow into the darkness, hearing a sharp, pained screech as it hit its mark.
The creature, now visible, stumbled into the dim light—a skeletal figure, with bones covered in a strange, dark aura. It was unlike any mob I had encountered before. The aura around it seemed to feed off the cave's shadows, making it appear almost ethereal. Yet the arrow had pierced it through, and the creature wavered, its strength fading.
But it wasn't done yet.
With a sudden burst of speed, the skeleton lunged at me, its bony fingers reaching out as if to drag me into the darkness. My instincts kicked in, and I dodged to the side, swinging my diamond sword in a wide arc. The blade struck true, shattering the skeleton into a pile of bones and black dust. The aura around it dissipated, leaving only the eerie silence of the cave.
I breathed heavily, the adrenaline from the encounter still pumping through my veins. The Blood Bow had taken more of my energy than I'd expected, and I could feel the drain more acutely now. I needed to be careful, especially in this unfamiliar territory.
[You have Killed an aura enhanced Mob, a small achievement deserves a reward, the creature you killed had a weaker version of your Nether aura which was Wither, You will be inserted with three weak techniques of the wither skeleton, this is a one time reward for the mob you killed, if you kill a different aura enhanced mobs, 1% of their aura wipl be absorbed by yours it applies to bosses]
The message flashed before my eyes, its meaning sinking in slowly. I had just unlocked a new ability—a wither-based technique, thanks to the aura-enhanced skeleton I defeated. The knowledge of these techniques seemed to seep into my mind effortlessly, as if I had always known them.
The first technique was Wither Blade, which allowed my diamond sword to temporarily inflict wither damage upon my foes, sapping their health over time. The second was Wither Shield, a defensive move that enveloped me in a brief, protective aura, capable of absorbing a small portion of incoming damage and reflecting some of it back at the attacker. The third was Wither Pulse, a short-range burst of withering energy that could weaken enemies around me, making them easier to defeat.
These abilities were not as strong as those of a true wither skeleton, but they were potent enough to give me an edge in combat. The idea of absorbing a small percentage of aura from future encounters intrigued me each battle had the potential to make me stronger, more attuned to the various energies of the world.
I took a moment to steady my breath and replenish my strength. The cave, now silent once more, seemed to hold its breath, as if anticipating my next move. I could turn back, return to the safety of my base, or I could delve deeper, seeking out more aura enhanced mobs and the rewards they offered.
"…Well this world definitely isn't bad, i may have been kidnapped, but the thrill is too tempting" I said as i cracked my neck and prepared to enter the cave
