While this was more dangerous than what they were currently doing, as they didn’t have a complete understanding of this place, continuing like this wasn’t a solution. These were the insane thoughts coming from the minds of Alm and Bruno.
’Alright!’ Ruri immediately became excited.
The whale looked at a beast that resembled a fallen Wyvern on the ground, with its wings spread around. This divine beast was several times larger than a mountain, stretching thousands of meters without counting its wings.
Once they were at a certain distance, Ruri and the group stopped. This was a critical point; if they took a step, the beast would sense them.
Langrum and Almin were completely terrified looking at the whale, and he just put Ruri down and closed his eyes. Then, suddenly, they saw a subtle veil cover that giant figure before Goku opened his eyes, which were now completely violet. He was obviously using Ruri’s mental power through the array.
Langrum and Almin didn’t know what was happening; that was Ruri’s strange power. How was the whale using it? But their thoughts were cut short when the whale took calm steps forward.
The Wyvern still slept, and they sighed in relief... although it didn’t last long. Goku then extended his chubby arms forward, and a violet wave of energy hit the beast’s head.
This was a mental attack. However, Alm and Bruno were not mental cultivators, so they could only use the simplest attacks. The moment the whale released that mental force, the others felt their heads buzzing. Their minds instantly became confused, feeling shocked.
That beast was sleeping and had no defenses because, in this strange place, no one would bother it. This, coupled with its very low intelligence, made it easy to approach and attack its unprotected mind using all the mental power Bruno and Alm could get from Ruri. It’s just that it was evident they would never be able to kill it or even completely dominate it.
However, Alm and Bruno didn’t have that intention. Instead, the whale seemed satisfied with the result and quickly spoke to everyone.

’Grab Ruri and come quickly!’
It was only at that moment that Langrum noticed Ruri completely exhausted and almost fainting, unable to understand. Alm and Bruno had to borrow all her power with the help of the array, and she was still very weak, so this was the result.
Langrum took Ruri, and the two ran with fearful eyes before the whale jumped in front of the beast’s head. Soon, several earth runes came out of his body and accumulated in a small area in the mouth of the gigantic beast, creating an opening that extended between the teeth.
The two froze again. Is he crazy? Does he want to enter the beast’s mouth?
But they didn’t have time to think, and the whale entered first. The two quickly gritted their teeth and entered the opening, even though their legs were shaking.
Inside, it was quite dark, and the stench of decay could kill a person on its own. Still, the Langrum and Almin could see very well in that dark place. Soon, they saw the whale create a circular and round area with several meters made of earth.
Then, in a few seconds, everything was closed; they were in a small cave inside the mouth of the beast that could kill them with just one thought. Only then did the Wyvern’s body tremble.
The whale sat in the center, and his eyes, still glowing violet, seemed to shine more brightly. Then, a violent tremor was felt by Langrum, whose face was twisted, and Almin seemed to want to cry out of fear.
Yet... soon, they realized something strange and calmed down a bit.
"We came out of the earth... are we flying?" Almin murmured, feeling the disconnection from the earth’s laws on the ground and hearing the wings flapping violently from inside the mouth.
"Rest as much as you can; we’ll soon reach the fifth level," murmured the whale, picking up Ruri from the ground and closing his eyes in concentration.
This beast couldn’t be completely dominated, so the best solution was to use the power of the mind to influence its simple and animalistic mind. The entire place made of earth was covered with mental power, and the beast couldn’t see or feel. Just the beast’s mouth was hundreds of meters wide, and they were in a tight space hidden inside the mouth. It was just too small for the beast to perceive it was there, especially after having slept for so long, so it was still somewhat numb.
With that, the first attack was to leave a subtle influence on the beast while they infiltrated. Alm and Bruno were well-versed in manipulating minds in torture; manipulating a wild beast was nothing. Soon, the beast simply woke up and felt a strange urge to fly south. Something it didn’t think much about and just acted on instinct, as if something good for it was waiting there.
So, their main task now was to stay hidden in the mouth without it noticing. With the help of the small amount of remaining mental power and mixing in a bit of infernal laws, the beast didn’t notice anything too different while focused on going south. After all, would an elephant pay attention to an ant on its body?
They were like parasites, and with Alm and Bruno focused on not getting caught, the divine beast flew slowly. Then, when Bruno and Alm felt safe, they stimulated that desire a bit more in the beast’s mind. Its speed instantly increased. In just two hours, they felt a powerful force nearby, indicating the end of the fourth level.
’Hm... I’ve already prepared the QI in hundreds of abyss crystals. We’ll have to overwhelm Ruri by giving her a lot of QI so we can put this beast to sleep and get out...’ Bruno was already preparing to wake up Ruri, who was sleeping peacefully until he felt Alm’s exclamation.
’Shit! Hold on!’
Alm spoke mentally, and suddenly, a giant mouth violently bit down that didn’t belong to the beast they were riding bit down. Following that, several black teeth tore through the back of their beast, and blood rained. Everyone saw the world crumble while an overwhelming power penetrated their winged beast.
Alm and Bruno felt a giant blackhead appear for a moment before the mouth closed. It was another divine beast, black as ink. Moreover, it was ten times larger than the one they were riding.
"It’s a Demon Wyvern!"
Their expressions changed. The aura of this black Wyvern was completely different from the other beasts they had encountered here. It had the aura of the demonic race and was somewhat similar to the dragons they knew; it wasn’t just the appearance. It was a real thing.
They were well acquainted with the dragon race and knew that dragons existed in this universe. However, from the texts of the Divinestone sect, Bruno learned that dragons were beings from other divine worlds, and it had been millennia since a sub-race with the true dragon bloodline in their veins, like Wyverns, was seen on this planet. Why would they appear here in the Abyss Prison?
"Don’t move!" The whale saw Langrum and Almin prepared to die fighting and shouted at them. He took Langrum’s black sword, opened a hole in the earth sphere they were in, and shot forward with the sword in hand.
They fell through the throat of the beast. Then, the sword was covered with a power that seemed like black flames before a cutting blow was unleashed with Bruno and Alm’s maximum power.
Almin and Langrum were astonished, watching through the hole as the whale cut the beast’s head from the inside; there were no scales or strong defenses coming directly from the inside. This, combined with the violent wounds caused by the bite of the other Wyvern and the beast moving all its QI elsewhere while attempting to defend against the Demon Wyvern, the whale managed to cut it with great effort.
Soon, the entire head fell from the rest of the body. Right at this moment, the black Wyvern devoured the winged beast’s body in just a few gulps. Ignoring the falling head, it turned to other beasts resting nearby.
The whole group fell violently to the ground, and Langrum protected Ruri with her own powerful body. Right after, everyone took the opportunity to escape from the beast’s head, hiding in the first place they found.
