Chapter 35 - First battle

A small light lit up the sky, with a small circle opening up. Will appeared at the sky, with the circle disappearing. "Shit!' He looked around, checking for any landmark to know where he was.

Falling through the sky, he made various air platforms, jumping across each until he got to the ground.

Looking at the holographic map displayed by his watch, Will found out he was deep at the centre of the forest. Looking round, he noticed some muddy areas with faint energy coming off from them.

"It's best if I avoid the muddy areas," Will thought as he navigated his way. He soon came across a huge muddy pit devoid of trees.

'OK, I just have to jump across to the other side,' he thought. With a leap, he was about crossing the muddy pit when it opened up, and coming out was a long wriggling creature with his giant mouth opened, revealing the deadly row of teeth.

Tsk. Will quickly created an air platform and then jumped sideways, avoiding the beast. The beast didn't stop there as it let out a roar calling on his comrades.

"Shit! This is one tricky battle," he thought controlling the wind. "I can't fully fight to the best amidst air, but fighting in the mud is akin to a death."

"This is a great opportunity. I don't want to miss either... analyse!"

Above, he stretched out both hands towards the muddy areas. Fire bullet! Multiple small round fiery bullets materialised each striking the muddy areas. It had hit some of the beasts, causing little injury to them.

"That's not all... Expand!" The bullets exploded with mud splashing everywhere. The beasts, which the bullets struck also exploded, causing bits of flesh to fly up.

He had killed more than three beasts with just this attack and some badly wounded. Drawing out his newly acquired blade, he filled it with his fire energy, lighting it up. Moving through various air platforms, he would swing his sword, releasing a crescent flame strike.

His form then vanished into the thin air. Will moved across their rank, quickly striking down each beast. He had used his invisibility skill to sneak through their ranks. The rest seeing this began entering their mud back.

"Don't think i would let you go that easily, Fire bullet!" He filled these sets with enough energy as he fired it into the mud. "Expand!" A large explosion rocked the area, with mud spilling across the earth. The explosion had caught four out of the ten beasts that had gone into the mud.

The rest weren't left unscathed as they appeared with bits of flesh missing. Will didn't waste time in finishing them off.

The battle was finally over with the expanse filled with flesh and mud. Will continued his journey after carving out the beast crystals and storing them in his spatial space.

"With this, I might eventually reach level 15." Not only that... looking at the map, he could see some location marked purple. These are where the beast crystals and abilty shards are said to be if I'm not mistaken." Will knew he was lucky the beasts were just advanced tier.

'This place is filled with dangerous beasts. I need to watch my step,' he thought as he moved forward, going to the designated area they had chosen.

Dren was quite lucky as he had been teleported in an area filled with students. He decided to stick with them as they battled against beast, quickly dispatching them. Checking the holographic map, he found out they were heading his direction, and he decided to stick with them.

Belle had landed in a barren land, devoid of trees. She could feel the heat around the area. "Am I the only one transported here?" Checking the holographic map she found out she was right at the center of the forest.

With her keen eyesight she was able to see far from her position. After a long stretch of barren land, she could finally see some trees. "Alright, I have to move out of here quickly." She hadn't ran long when she heard the rumbling of the earth. A large tentacle shot out from the ground heading towards her direction.

She did a flip avoiding it, soon several tentacles broke out all heading towards her direction. Summoning her flaming whips she cut through while avoiding the rest.

"These tentacles, they her so hard tcut through." She leaped up avoiding another set of tentacles. "And they regenerate at an insane speed. Don't tell me I'm battling against a legendary beast." Landing on the ground, she ran across slashing and avoiding the tentacles.

Her luck ran out, when she got caught by one. She was slammed hard to the ground, knocking the breath out of her. It didn't stop there as she continuously got slammed to the ground.

"My hand, I can't feel it," she cough out blood as the tentacles had wrapped around her. The ground crumbled as a head burst through. A flat one filled with rows of teeth and a large eye just above.

The beast opened its mouth as the tentacles brought her closer. "Don't think I would let you eat me so easily."

"Fire arts! sixth form! Phoenix havoc! Her body was covered entirely in a fiery glow which exploded, blowing up the tentacles. Now free she execute the next phase of the attack. Her broken bones healed rapidly as her eyes turned crimson. "Since no one is around, I can use some of that power."

Leaping up, she brought her whip down in rapid succession. A feiry Phoenix could be seen behind her as she cut off all tentacles heading towards her. "I won't give you the chance to recover." Dashing forward her hands turned blood red and in an instant fired multiple blood bullet towards the beast head.

More tentacles broke through from the ground forming a shield over its face. The bullets sank through unable to harm its head.

"Blood explosion!" The blood exploded with bits of flesh scattering over the place. "This is my chance," she kicked off the ground and began spinning.

"Fire arts! Fifth form! Phoenix wings!" A red glow spread over her back forming a pair of wings. She cut through the tentacles and finally reached its head. "Die!" She exclaimed.

The ground began rumbling as thousands of tentacles burst forth once more all converging on her. "Argghhh!"

"You asked for it! Blood art! Second form! Blood burst!" A large explosion occurred destroying the tentacles and with her body rolling across the ground. She was badly wounded as the attack had affected her also.

Struggling up, she gripped her whips tightly, her vision getting blurry all ready. "Shit! Father told me using this blood skills would exert me since I'm using it with a weak body. This is bad!"

The tentacles had risen once again and were already upon her. "I just need to land a strike that would kill it in one go!" Her body began to heal further depleting her energy.

The tentacles wrapped round her hands and with a tug pulled it out from her body. Wrapping around the rest parts of her body, it once again slammed her to the ground. It didn't stop there as it dissembled her legs from her body.

"Ughh!" She coughed out blood and slowly her consciousness began to fade.

"I'm sorry... Will... Dren. I won't make it." The beast fully extended its jaw as it brought her towards the already watering mouth. The tentacles released and she fell down to the opened mouth.

"No! This... isn't... the end! Blood... arts! Blood burst!" Her blood falling freely into the beast mouth lit up and exploded causing the beast to flinch. It threw her across the ground, its tentacles on rampage. She had hurt it for the time and it seemed to be in pain.

"Maybe I can do this... come on heal fast!" Her torn limbs had begin to heal and had grown halfway. The beast finally stopped its rampage as it sent all the tentacles towards her.

"They aren't fully healed... but this would do." She dived toward the sides avoiding some of the tentacles. "Arghhh!" These tentacles are quite troublesome," she had been caught again and she could feel her grown limbs being stretched to the limits once again.

Just as popping sound filled the area, a fiery glow struck down on the tentacles obliterating several of them at once.

"Don't you dare harm her," Will screamed as he dived towards the tentacles heading her way. His sword moved rapidly cutting down the tentacles.
