Chapter 44 - 44-Simple Payback
The White Serpent stood in front of the Almiraj Herd. It had a Serpent Smirk plastered upon its Face. It seemed that the White Serpent was Confident in its Recent Gain Skills. The Almiraj took the White Serpent's Confidence as Arrogance. With such interpretation, The Almiraj charged their Abilities and began firing multiple Elemental Attacks to the White Serpent. The White Serpent stood calmly as Fireballs, Giant Boulder, Icycles, Droplets of Water, many more Elemental Attacks rained down upon it. The White Serpent got hit by the Elemental Attacks as it created a White Mist that covered the whole area.
The Elemental Attack of the Almiraj was stronger than before as it contained most of their Energy. They were hoping to destroy the White Serpent in one attack, but it seemed that they were rather unfortunate to have met the White Serpent Persia. The White Mist slowly dispersed as a Serpent Silhouette revealed itself to the Almiraj. As the White Mist completely dispersed from the Area, The White Serpent revealed itself without any injuries upon its body. The Almiraj was surprised at what it saw as even the Strongest Creatures within the Realm would have a Small Scratch from that Attack.
'Was that all you can do?' The White Serpent asked with a Crazy Smile slowly forming in its face. It was the first time it felt like it was invulnerable against something powerful. It was a Strange yet Beautiful Feeling. The White Serpent wanted to be invulnerable after feeling such emotion. The White Serpent wanted to see what kind of emotions were going through the Almiraj's mind. While the White Serpent felt euphoria upon feeling Invincible, Ego's monotone voice echoed within its mind.
<Sister, calm yourself. You must not let your Desire, Ego, and Emotions take control of your Reason.> Ego reminded the White Serpent of its Reason. The Serpent's Goal was to stand at the peak of power and have a peaceful time. The White Serpent began shaking its head as it noticed the drastic effect upon its mentality. It didn't know what happen, but the White Serpent felt that its Crazy Side appeared in Full Package.
'I'm sorry about that. It's the first time something harmful couldn't hurt me.' Persia apologized as she clearly lost control for a moment there. She was smiling for no reason after getting hit by a Barrage of Elemental Attacks. No matter how Persia looked at it from a different perspective. It was the Weirdest Moment in Persia's life. She also didn't want to be branded as a Masochist who wants to feel pain.
<As long as Sister is aware of it.> It seemed that Ego was in relief after hearing her Sister's thoughts. Persia's thoughts only meant one thing. She was in control of everything. Regardless if she turned into someone strange or scary. Persia was still the one in control of everything that happened within her Mind and Body. She was aware of every single fuck up's she had within her life.
'Why don't we continue hunting the Rabbits.' Persia said with a Peaceful Smile plastered upon her face. Her Hunting Mentality then resurfaces back, and the White Serpent disappeared from its spot. The White Serpent slithered towards the Almiraj Herd and appeared right beside one of it. It then opened its Jaw and took a bite out of the Almiraj. It then swallowed the Almiraj whole and looked at the remaining ones.
The Almiraj began firing the next Barrage of Elemental Attacks. Just like before, It was ineffective against the White Serpent. It was only recent, but the Almiraj remembered of the Serious Injuries the White Serpent had. No matter how much power they place in their Elemental Attacks. It was useless against the White Serpent. The Almiraj Herd began backing away, but the White Serpent already charged towards one of it.
An Almiraj found itself in the jaws of the White Serpent. Before it could move, Blood began gushing out of its body. The White Serpent then swallowed it whole and continued charging towards the remaining Almirajs. The Almiraj Herd seeing the Useless Elemental Attacks. They began running away from the White Serpent. They were fleeing from the Herd and separated from each other.
'Do you think that would work...' The White Serpent thought as numerous Small Black Balls began levitating from the Ground. It was the High-Lethal Venom of the White Serpent. It then flew towards the fleeing Almiraj and began its massacre upon the Horned Rabbit Herd. They were unfortunate to have met with the Merciless White Serpent. The Visitor from Reality or Another Realm. They will be the First Meal of the World Serpent upon the Realm.
The White Serpent charged towards the nearest Almiraj. Even though the Black Ball of Deaths was killing for it, The White Serpent wanted to rely on its body to hunt. It felt the importance of training its own body to fight against the creature physically. It didn't want to Over-rely on its Abilities as its fate might turn like the Almiraj's Fate. The White Serpent understood this, which was why it charged towards its Prey.
The Serpent then opened its Jaws which revealed its Fangs. The Almiraj hopped, but it got caught by the White Serpent's Mouth. The White Serpent then ate the Almiraj as Blood gushes out of its Jaws. The White Serpent was bloodied due to the Almiraj's blood. The Area around it turned into a Bloody Battlefield. There were signs of destruction and blood everywhere. One might misunderstand it thinking that a War began within the Area.
After eating the Almiraj, The White Serpent looked around and noticed that the Black Ball of Death killed most of the Almiraj Herd. It sighed and began slithering towards the Corpses of the Almiraj. It wanted to eat everything within the Area as it would be a waste to leave a Corpse behind. With this in mind, The White Serpent arrived at an Almiraj corpsed and swallowed it with its mouth. It was a Bloody Scene as even though it was a corpse. There was still Blood within it, which covered the White Serpent's Mouth.
The White Serpent continued eating the Almiraj. Time passes within the Forest as the White Serpent completed its task of eating the Corpses of the Almiraj Herd. It looked around as it was curious about the Almiraj Herd numbers. With this in mind, It then began to calculate the Almiraj it saw and ate within the Forest. It was its First Hunting Trip in the New Realm, so the White Serpent needed to be cautious.
<The Numbers of Almiraj Sister ate is approximately 20 Almiraj. It would take a while to digest them within Sister's Stomach.> Before the White Serpent could continue its calculations, Ego already answered it. The White Serpent nodded, but a question appeared within its mind. 'Ego, How did I manage to eat that much in my Small Stomach?'
The White Serpent asked in curiosity as its Hunter Mentality slowly disappeared. Persia was curious about the reason why her Body could handle large amounts of Biomass. She has been eating without even excreting a single waste. She was curious about how her body worked. There must be a reason and explanation for the current inner workings of her body.
<Hmm... There is no such thing as Waste within Sister's Body. Everything that Sister ate would turn into Energy, which meant that it would only help Sister focus every Biomass to Evolution without worrying about waste. The Digestion of Sister is also fast, but the Digestion would need to be complete before a Report about it comes by.> Ego explained why Persia's weird stomach could handle a large number of small creatures. Hearing Ego's answer, Persia was quite surprised.
Persia then laid upon the Ground that had numerous Ponds that were Full of Blood. She wasn't uncomfortable with the Blood, and Persia also didn't want to move her body after eating the Almiraj Herd. She continued to lay upon the ground as she began thinking about the new Things she gained in the New Realm. Persia remembered about a Skill called Inferior Elemental Manipulation.
'The Inferior Elemental Manipulation Skill... Now that I think about it, It's one of the only two Skills that needed 100 Points to evolve. It is quite expensive.' Persia thought to herself while thinking about the two skills that needed 100 points for evolution. They were Augmentation and Elemental Manipulation. Judging from their names, They might have good potential. That must also be the reason why they were expensive to evolve.
'I wonder what the Elemental Manipulation would look like.' Persia began activating the Skill as a Droplet, a Small Pebble, a Flicker, and a Small Breeze of Wind began levitating around her body. The Elements of Water, Earth, Fire, and Air. The known Four Elements. They must be the Inferior Elemental Manipulation first Abilities. The Elements continued levitating around Persia. She was having fun at seeing them rotate around her.
She wondered if she could control the blood on the ground. Persia focused her will upon the blood only to found that there was no effect. Persia sighed as she probably needed to evolve the Elemental Manipulation to gained the power to Manipulate Blood. If she could Manipulate Blood, It would not be hard for her to dominate the New Realm. The Elemental Manipulation was quite Dangerous.
Persia continued laying on the ground as she noticed the Fluffy White Clouds passing over her. No matter where she ends up. She would always see the Blue Skies and the White Clouds. It was something that made her remember the Worlds before the New Realm. Her Past Life, Her Reincarnated World, and the New Realm felt like they had the same skies.
She continued to wait for the Notifications to echo within her mind. She was patient as she was already used to waiting for the notifications. The Almiraj must be hard to digest Almiraj if it took a lot of time for the Notification to ring upon her mind. She waited patiently and calmly as time passes by within the Forest. A Notification then echoed within her mind.
The Notification quickly took Persia out of her trance. She looked in front of her and saw the Notification Window. She was quite curious about what she would gain from eating 20 Almiraj. She did gain the Elemental Nullification Skill, which was unexpected for Persia. She then looked at the Notification Window and began reading it.
*Ding!*
[You have eaten 20 Mythical Beasts named Almiraj... You have gained 20000 Biomass.]
[You have reached the Biomass Requirements for Evolution.]
[Evolution will now activate.]
[Preparing for Deep Sleep.]
[Attributes Type will change...]
[Evolution Rewards are announced after Evolution...]
'What the?' Before Persia could continue her words, She fell into a deep slumber. It was the Second Time Persia would evolve. She was curious about what kind of Creature she would Evolve into. She knew it would be a serpent, but she wondered what type of Serpent she would Evolve into. These would be the thoughts of Persia if she didn't found herself in a Deep Slumber.
Persia's body then began illuminating within the Bloodied Area of the Forest. It slowly changed itself into a White Cocoon-like Egg. It was the same form as her First Evolution. The only difference was the Runes plastered upon the Cocoon-like Egg. They were Complex, Dark, and seemed to be written in an Ancient Language.
Numerous White Transparent Barrier appeared around the Cocoon-like Egg. They were protecting Persia and would do everything to secure Persia's evolution. As the outside world prepared for Persia's Evolution, within Persia's Soul Core, Ego looked around the Plaza as she found everything changing. The Whole Castle and Soul Core were changing and upgrading at a fast speed. It was quite a strange experience but during the entire time. Ego was smiling calmly as her Sister was growing.
"As expected of Persia.." Ego said with a calm and peaceful voice.
