Chapter 657 Witnessing rare scene
From MC's perspective:
The next day,
The Viper Academy team returns from the Red Moon Tower. They were given a warm welcome. But most of the warriors here didn't know that a representative had come a day earlier.
In the room,
I woke up late. It's almost 10 AM. Then I got up from the bed to complete the morning routine.
After doing everything, I sat on the sofa to decide on today's plan. There was something on my mind since last night.
My master wants me to enter the inner city for some reason. Jonathan also hinted to me from time to time, that I have huge work ahead. But I believe for everything you need strength to do that.
My master wouldn't have accepted me, if not for my talent and lightning element. So I should improve my strength not only in base but also in techniques and combat experiences.
If my guess is right, the students in the inner post must be stronger than me. They must be brought up with a lot of rich resources and advanced techniques.
I should be no less than them. After gaining some clarity, I decided to enter the monster zone.
After changing clothes to the academy uniform, I left the room and walked out of the dormitory.
Students are coming and going. After seeing me, they started their work of gossip.
Ignoring them, I started walking towards the teleportation tower.
On the way, I checked the unread messages. It was from Ernest and Laverne. I understood what this was about. They don't know about my return. So I texted them back.
When I arrived at the teleportation tower, I avoided interacting with others and went straight towards the circular platform.
Swish!
After selecting the server, I disappeared from the spot. When I opened my eyes. I found myself standing inside the forest.
The ground was wet and slippery. This time I have selected a moderately risky monster zone. In this monster zone, there are Class 6 and Class 7 Monsters. Class 7 is the ceiling here.
What's more notable is that there is only one type of monster in the majority here. Which are worm monsters.
I have more experience against worm-type monsters. The only risk here is Class-7 ones. But it can't be avoided. To improve, I must take risks.
Fortunately, I didn't lose much of the lightning essence in the duel against Sallie Mills. After removing the unnecessary thoughts. I started going through the dense green vegetation.
Usually, in a worm monster's inhabitant's place. It's hard to find a green cover. Most of their monster zones are barren land.
But here there is enough green vegetation to take cover.
Tremor!
Suddenly, the ground beneath me starts to shake. The next moment, I activated my perception to look around.
There is only one reason for the tremor. The worm monster is on the move. As the tremor got stronger, I realized a monster was not coming towards me.
A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. It doesn't happen usually. So I became curious. Then I started to follow the tremor movements.
Not long after, the tremor came to an end after crossing some distance. I thought that monster had found me.
So I looked for the green cover around me. Instead, I spotted a bedrock large enough to cover me.
Seeing that I moved towards the place to hide behind it.
On the other hand, the ground began to crack after a few seconds.
A yellow-colored worm monster appears above the surface. The monster is 30ft large in size. When its full body appeared above the surface. The small movement of the monster is causing large tremors.
My eyes flickered when I saw what was happening. The monsters act on instinct. Only high-level monsters have some intelligence to think.
Seems like this Class-6 Monster has better intelligence compared to usual Class-6 Monsters.
The monster starts moving forward with its huge body. Seeing that I became more intrigued.
Since the monster has intelligence. There is some purpose for its actions. When the monster's back disappeared.
I started following the trail caused by its movements.
As time passes, I'm going deep into the monster zone. Where the Class-7 Monsters are usually spotted.
A hint of apprehension appeared in my eyes.
"What's this Class-6 Monster doing?" I asked myself.
Class-7 Monsters won't allow weak monsters to stay near them. Even though they are from the same family.
Meanwhile,
Not far away from here, the corpse of a Class-7 Worm Monster can be seen on the ground. A large quantity of yellow liquid is gushing out from his body.
From its appearance, it can be said that the monster died a couple of hours ago.
When the Class-6 Monster appears near the corpse. It started to eat the monster with its razor-sharp teeth.
The monster's eyes flickered with intelligence. It quickly wants to before other monsters get here.
On the other hand, I followed the tracks. Soon the tracks come to an end. When I raise my head to look ahead.
I saw the back of a Class-6 Monster.
"It's doing something," I said to myself. When I tried to look through my perception. I stood in disbelief.
I saw the Class-6 monster was busy eating the corpse of the Class-7 Monster. I heard from Jonathan before that a similar thing happened back in that hybrid monster zone.
At that time, I was a beginner in warrior training. I didn't understand it completely back then. Now, I began to realize that monsters want to evolve.
Some monsters break naturally based on their bloodline power. But other monsters grow by devouring others.
This worm monster is doing the second one. I just don't know whether it's a natural process or a man-made one.
I came here to hunt the monster. But this scene surprised me. Should I disturb it or not? For a second, I decided to watch the whole process.
It's rare to witness such a scene.
As the time passes, the Class-6 monster continues to devour. It won't be long before it completes the devouring.
2 hours later,
The Class-6 Monster successfully devoured the monster. The monster looks bloated now.
It's going to be difficult to return to the underground. Seeing that I have decided to return to find other monsters.
Tremor!
Suddenly, a tremor jolted me awake. This time the power of the tremor is stronger than the previous one.
"Class-7 Monster," My expression changes drastically.
Boom!
A deafening sound reverberated throughout the area.
A huge worm monster, 50ft long appeared above the surface.
Seeing that I immediately recognised its Class-7 Monster. Then I saw the monster moving in the direction of the Class-6 Monster.
"It's going to attack the Class-6 Monster," I said to myself.
Should I help it? Anyway, it doesn't make any difference. Then I brought the black sword forward.
Then I started to charge the sword with the purple essence. In the blink of an eye, the black sword flickered with the purple light.
"Sword Divide"
I discharged the lightning beam toward the monster. In the blink of an eye, the lightning beam shot at the monster.
When the purple lightning beam hits the moving Class-7 Monster.
Boom!
A terrible noise sounded again. The aftermath swept away the surroundings causing the smoke to rise from the ground.
The monster let out a weird scream. Which shows that the monster was hurt badly.
When the smoke disappeared. I saw the targeted spot was completely scorched.
The next second, I saw the monster looking towards me.
Instead of going to the Class-6 Monster. The monster starts coming towards me. Seeing that my mouth curved into an arc. It was an expected reaction.
A quick gleam flashes in my eyes. The monster was hurt badly. But still, it's moving like nothing happened.
Then I raised my sword forward and started to charge with lightning essence. This time I plan to target the monster's eyes.
The sword blade flickered with purple light again. When the monster was a few meters away from me.
It released the lightning attack the next second.
The purple beam went straight towards the monster's left eye. The Class-7 Monster reacted fast. But it couldn't able to move the body in time.
The purple beam hits the eye directly.
Boom!
A deafening noise sounded again.
The lightning power instantly destroys the left eye. The next second, the worm monster let out a weird scream.
Seeing that a hint of relief flashes in my eyes.
The Class-7 Monster was enraged. It forgot the Class-6 Monster lying on the ground nearby.
Instead, it's started charging towards the puny prey.
Seeing that distance was getting narrower. I decided to lead the monster away from the resting Class-6 Monster.
"Lightning Phantom Technique"
I released the movement technique. The next second, purple lightning covered my legs. I exploded with great speed.
In the blink of an eye, I started moving away from the monster in a zigzag manner.
Behind, the Class-7 Monster is following at full speed.
