Chapter 109 Slimy Inner Walls
I ran in the vast expanse of greenery with minimal stops that were caused by the mana titan made me confuse the directions, though whenever that happened, I just got into my subspace and escaped from the innate power of the colossal wolf.
I didn't know exactly how this worked but I assumed that whenever the mana titan uses its innate power on me, it connects us with something magical. So when I enter a different space altogether, those connections break up, and I effectively turn into my old self.
This game of cat and mouse lasted around 3 hours even with my inhuman speed of 120 km in an hour.
And this angry many eyed wolf didn't stop following me. It was faster than me for a little bit but whenever it got too close to me, I made some distance between us with teleportation magic.
Fortunately, the speed of this mana titan slowed down considerably and I knew the reason for this.
The acidic black liquid I injected into its inside its eyes was working finely as I could see black veins around almost all of its eyes.
The insides of all living creatures were more vulnerable than their outsides, and this enormous scary wolf wasn't an exception just because it was a mana titan.
I didn't know if this big bad wolf would die but there was a particular idea in me about killing this mana titan and absorbing its mana core to increase my mana quantity by a large margin. Its mana quality was weak, very weak but I knew that I could do something to balance its enormous mana quantity with its low-quality mana.
And there was a thought in me about killing this mana titan was close to impossible even while it was clearly weakened. All mana titans were formidable creatures with strong vitality, so dying was very hard for them unless it comes from their kin.
That is why I didn't know what to do right now other than running like this while thinking more about this.
But while I was thinking about this, I heard Aria's voice in my head.
>> Can't you just enter from its mouth and kill it from inside, master? <<
Well, this particular idea didn't come to my head because of its absurdness but after hearing from Aria, I thought that it was a very good idea for me. I was perfect for this kind of thing, I didn't have any fear or hesitancy like everyone and I wouldn't die to the acid if I just covered myself with ice armor filled with a huge amount of mana.
That is why I decided to go with this plan.
While I was running away from the mana titan, I chanted and an ice armor appeared on me.
Then I injected 50% of my mana and drank the last of my 3 tubes of blood.
Running away from this wolf and teleporting here and there cost a huge amount of mana that I replenished with my bloody mana stocks. Hence these tubes were the last of my cannibalistic mana potions.
After this, I began to chant again using a good amount of mana.
The mana left my body and began to gather in front of the maw of the wolf mana titan.
But the mana titan was sensitive to mana and intelligent enough to know the source of the mana and the danger it posed, which was almost neglectable for the mana titan who has steel-like skin.
That's why it underestimated me and didn't mind the movements of my mana.
This worked wonders for me because my mana turned into a small, about 2 meters high ice wall between its teeth, making it unable to close its mouth.
But this was a temporary thing as the mana that I poured into this ice wall wasn't enough to hold it for too long, maybe for a second but nothing more.
That is why, I didn't wait for a second. I covered my whole body with mana and teleported myself into the air. Then I held onto its teeth and sent myself into its mouth with lots of strength.
The maw of the mana titan closed shut but it was too late for it to stop me.
I stabbed my blood dagger into its soft flesh and held onto it with all of my might. I needed to be careful to not fall into its stomach.
Casting magic while being inside a living being was close to impossible because of the natural mana barrier of their body.
That was the reason I didn't directly teleport to the mana titan's inside and instead teleported in front of its maw.
I could manifest ice spears inside of the normal humans or very low-rank fighters as their natural mana barrier was weak because of their low amount of mana.
But this was a mana titan, it wasn't like measly humans, it was different. It had an enormous amount of mana, even being inside its body was enough to make me feel suffocating.
But I endured this feeling and began to climb to its soft slimy inner flesh while stabbing my blood dagger here and there to use as holding. Inside of its flesh was softer than its eyes, which was easier for me to stab my dagger.
But I didn't know where to go as it was dark and I couldn't use magic to light a light.
That is why I tried to feel its heartbeat for the direction I needed to go, which was hard to feel because of its constant movement whenever I stab my blood dagger.
Although it was hard, I still felt its heartbeat after I stopped moving and stayed still.
'How strange… Why is its heartbeat slow and weak, as if it is going to die? Was the acid I used really that strong or was this mana titan weak? Probably the mix of both as that acid was strong enough to harm my skin, so it can harm this mana titan's inner flesh as it is not particularly strong mana titan.'
