Chapter 43 - 43-A Herd Of Strange Rabbits
A White Serpent stared dumbfoundedly at the Spot where the Strange Portal crumbled. It realized that its only way home got destroyed, and it was now trapped in the New Realm it named Piksyon. The White Serpent didn't know what to do after seeing the Stone Gate crumbling in front of it. It looked around the area and sighed in disappointment as it was now stranded in the New Realm. Numerous White Transparent Barriers began appearing right beside it. The White Transparent Barriers created a wall around the White Serpent for protection. It began talking towards its Partner that was inside it.
'Ehem... What do we do now?' Persia asked Ego within her mind. The Destruction of the Stone Gate caused them to be stranded in Piksyon. A Dangerous Realm Full of Unknowns. Persia wanted to ask Ego about the things they should do within the New Realm. Persia wanted to explore the New Realm and hunt the Creatures within it. She was curious about what Ego thought about it. Ego's Monotone voice then echoed within Persia's Mind.
<Ego advises Sister to be cautious and continue growing within the New Realm.>
Persia nodded after hearing Ego's advice. It was a Simple Advice about being Cautious and Continue her Growth within the Piksyon. It would be a Dangerous Journey that would have a lot more danger than her First Journey. The Biomass she needed was 10,000. She needed it to evolve into the Next Level. With this in mind, Persia looked in the direction where she sensed the Herd of Creatures.
"Should we hunt the Creatures I found a Distance away from me?" Persia asked as she felt Ego's nod within her mind. She smirked after hearing Ego's agreement and began slithering towards the Herd of Creatures. She felt the Bushes, Grass, and Ferns around her as they were full of Energy. She wondered if she could eat Plants for Biomass, but her body wasn't made for eating Plants. She would probably need to evolve into a New Serpent Species to gained the Ability to eat Plants.
She traversed through the Forest while Numerous Transparent Barriers guarded her. They calmly orbited around her Serpent Body and protected her from any possible threats. While slithering in the New Forest, Persia already activated most of her detection skills. She used her Olfaction Warning Skill, Seismic Tracking Skill, Infrared Vision, and Many more detection Skills Persia had within her Arsenal.
Persia slithered through the Grass and flicked her serpent tongue multiple times. She felt that the Herd of Creatures were near her, but she needed to hide from them. With this in mind, The White Transparent Barriers slowly disappeared into thin air. Persia lost her protection, but her stealth increases with the disappearance of the White Transparent Barriers.
She then saw a Bush that separated her and the Herd of Creatures. She slithered through it and felt the leaves covering her White Serpent Face. She shook her head and looked through the Bush. She saw the Herd of Strange Creatures and finally understood what kind of Creature it was. She furrowed her Snake Eyebrows and began talking to Ego.
'Ego, These Rabbits have horns on their head.' Persia said within her mind. Ego then looked at the Creatures through Persia's eyes and began analyzing them. She had gained a lot of knowledge with the book she manages to read in the Ancient Library. With the knowledge she had, She began searching within her Archive and found the information about the Creature in front of them.
<The Herd of Creatures in front of Sister is called Almiraj. For Simplification, They are called Horned Rabbits. They are dangerous creatures within the Piksyon Realm that can use strange abilities using their Horns. If they come with a Herd, It would be better to avoid them and not cause trouble against them.>
'Almiraj?' Persia thought to herself while thinking about the Horned Rabbits. They were the perfect prey for her current size, but Ego advised her not to attack the Horned Rabbits. They were dangerous creatures with strange abilities. Persia shook her head and asked Ego what she thought about her plan. 'Ego, They are the perfect size for me. Do you think I can handle them?'
<Sister's Abilities have been scanned, and Records of the Almiraj have been scanned. After analyzing both abilities and possible threats, Ego has concluded that Sister can easily defeat an Almiraj. Sister's Abilities are much more complete than the rumored Almiraj abilities. Sister is far more powerful in both strength and abilities.>
Persia nodded in satisfaction after hearing what Ego said. It seemed that she was stronger than she previously thought. She was a bit proud of her strength and ability, but she knew that it was useless against the predators within the Piksyon. Before Persia could continue with her proud moment, Ego continued her words.
<But... Sister isn't facing one Almiraj. There is a Herd of Almiraj in front of Sister. Sister might be strong enough to overpower one of them, but a Herd of them would be difficult for Sister to handle. There is a possibility that Sister might get seriously hurt if she tries to face the Almiraj Herd. No matter what Sister chooses, Ego will achieve it without any problem.>
'I can handle them along, but It will be hard to handle them in a Herd.' Persia thought about Ego's words. She seriously began thinking of a plan that would be perfect for their current situation. Ego said that she might get seriously hurt if she got hit by the Almiraj, but that doesn't mean Persia would die. It would only be painful, and Persia wouldn't mind getting pain if she could grow.
'Let's fight the Almiraj Herd, Ego. This should be a good testing fight as I would have to fight against creatures that are much more powerful than the Almiraj Herd.' Persia smirked as she felt Ego's sigh within her mind. She was someone that would fight against anything and anyone. Ego's monotone voice then echoed within Persia's mind.
<Sister's Wish is my Accord.>
Ego spoke simple words, and the Battle between Persia and the Almiraj had begun. It was the First Fight of Persia within Piksyon. The Result of the Fight would forever affect Persia's life within Piksyon.
The Almiraj Herd were calmly eating their Food. They were close together as they needed to protect each other from Predators. The Bush right beside them then rustled, and a White Serpent exited the Bush. All of the Almiraj turned their heads towards the White Serpent and froze. The Horns on their head then illuminated with bright light and began firing strange Fire Ball towards the White Serpent.
White Transparent Barrier then appeared in front of the White Serpent. It quickly broke apart, which cause a surprise in the White Serpent's mind. The White Serpent then began slitheirng at a fast speed and charges towards the Almiraj. It wanted to start a Melee between itself and the Almiraj Herd.
The White Serpent opened its Jaws and bit one of the Almiraj. Its venom quickly entered through the Almiraj Skin, which quickly killed the Almiraj within its Jaws. It ate the Almiraj whole and began looking at the remaining ones with its Golden Amber Eyes. The Almiraj Horns then glowed with colorful lights, and multiple abilities got thrown towards the White Serpent.
The White Transparent Barriers protected the White Serpent, but they quickly got penetrated by the Abilities of the Almiraj. A Fire Ball went through the Barriers and hit the White Serpent. It burned through the White Serpent's skin which caused a lot of burning sensation on the Serpent's body. An Icycle pierced through the Barrier and penetrated through the Skin of the White Serpent. A Giant Rock fell from the Heavens and hit the White Serpent's head. Which almost made it lose its consciousness.
The Almiraj can have an Elemental Ability. Dealing with one of them would not be a problem, but dealing with a herd would be hard as there were more Elemental Abilities in many types. The White Serpent had serious injuries within its body, but the injuries slowly got healed by its Regeneration Capabilities. It looked at the Almiraj with serious eyes as it realized that the White Transparent Barriers were useless against the Almiraj.
[You have gained a Skill, Inferior Elemental Resistance.]
[Skill Description: The User will gain the ability to resist any kinds of Elements thrown towards the User's Body, Mind, and Soul. The Elemental Resistance is one of the best resistance skills, and it would be advised to make the Inferior Elemental Resistance stronger.]
[Skill Status: Weak.]
'I gained something useful from getting hurt by multiple attacks.' The White Serpent thought as it began reading the Skill Description of the Skill. A Sly Smirk slowly appeared on its White Serpent Face. It couldn't help but think of the Resistance Ability as a Gift given by the heavens. The White Serpent shook its head, and it wanted to use the Points within its Body towards the Elemental Resistance.
<Sister should increase the Proficiency of the Skill to Mortal Level and begin using Sister's Points to upgrade it from that moment.> Ego gave an Advised towards the White Serpent. The White Serpent nodded and looked at the Almiraj. They were charging their horns to began the next bombardment of Elemental Attacks.
'I never thought that once again. I would let an Enemy hit me.' The White Serpent shook its head and began preparing itself for the Attack. It didn't bother using its White Transparent Barrier as it wanted to face the Elemental Attacks head-on. With this in mind, The White Serpent gazes at the Almiraj as they began bombarding its Body with Elemental Attacks.
Fire Balls, Icycles, Giant Boulders, Water Pressure, Gust of Wind, Lightning, and Many more Elemental Attack hit the White Serpent Body. The White scales began falling to the ground. The Skin of the White Serpent got burned off, and its Flesh slowly disintegrated. After the Bombardment of Elemental Attacks, A Cloud of Gas engulfed the spot of the White Serpent.
The White Serpent was on the ground with only its Head left. It stopped moving as if it was dead, but its eyes continued staring at the Almiraj. The Regeneration Capabilities of the White Serpent began kicking in, and the Almiraj realized that it wasn't the end of the White Serpent. They began charging their horns while backing away from the White Serpent.
'That was Painful... I almost died there. Superior Regeneration is really doing a wonderful job.' White Serpent thought while stretching its Body. It never thought that the Elemental Attack would be strong enough to destroy its Body despite the Inferior Elemental Resistance. Numerous Notifications then echoed within its mind.
[You have increased your Proficiency with Inferior Elemental Resistance.]
[Inferior Elemental Resistance(0/10)-> Inferior Elemental Resistance(10/10)]
[Inferior Elemental Resistance has reached the Threshold.]
[Evolving...]
[Skill Evolution Complete.]
[Mortal Elemental Resistance has been gained.]
The Notifications were like music within the White Serpent's ears. The White Serpent never thought that it could find a weapon that it could use against any creatures within the Realm of Piksyon. Attacking the Almiraj Herd was really a good idea for the White Serpent. After reading the Notification, It was time for the White Serpent to begin its plan.
'Allocate all of my Points to Mortal Elemental Resistance!!!'
[40 Points will be allocated to Mortal Elemental Resistance.]
[Mortal Elemental Resistance has reached Threshold.]
[Superior Elemental Resistance has reached Threshold.]
[Grand Elemental Resistance has reached Threshold.]
[Evolving...]
[Skill Evolution Complete.]
[Absolute Elemental Nullification has been gained.]
[As the Variety gets Higher. The User would effectively Nullify all the Elements.]
[Due to the High Resistance against Elements. The User has gained a New Skill]
[You have gained Inferior Element Manipulation.]
'It's time for payback.' The White Serpent looked at the Almiraj with Cold Eyes. It was time for Revenge as the Almiraj almost destroyed its Body. The White Serpent had lost all of its Points in exchange for the Absolute Elemental Nullification Skill. It also gained an Inferior Element Manipulation Skill. It gained a lot of things from its Choice as most Elemental Attacks would be ineffective against it.
The Almiraj felt fear from looking at the Serpent Eyes.. The White Serpent in front of them looked like a Monster who gazes as its Prey.
