Chapter 109 Unknown World
Karsha was sucked into the vortex of darkness without having the slightest resistance. It was as if he had lost control of his body to an unknown, mysterious force beyond his comprehension. Karsha felt dread, and for the first time in many years, he truly experienced real fear.
However, he didn't let panic set in. As he moved through the vortex, still under the control of this unknown force, he started to look around and analyze his current situation.
Aside from complete and total perpetual darkness, there was nothing else he could see. He tried using his senses, but what could a Grandmaster's senses do in this situation? In short, Karsha was completely out of options, with the only choice being to wait and see what would happen.
After an unknown time, a wave of unknown energy washed over Karsha and he immediately fell unconscious. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in the middle of a thick forest.
However, that wasn't what he noticed at first, under normal circumstances, when a person opens their eyes, they are supposed to see either white light rays from the sun or the moon, however, what greeted Karsha was red rays.
All the light passing through the leaves and branches of the towering trees is red. Karsha instinctively took out his legendary rank flying glaive and made it float on top of his head. His senses scanned the 10km around him but came out empty.
He didn't panic but subconsciously felt danger so he started moving steadily. The more he moves, the more lost he becomes. once again, Karsha found himself in an unknown forest and there was no map to direct him, he just moved at random.
He had asked the system for a map but the system's reply never changed
< The system doesn't have the capabilities yet to create a map of an unknown world >
Karsha understood why. The system despite being 2.0 still has limited functionality. While it may be bad in some situation to have such a unless system, Karsha actually understood it. Suppose he has a system that can do everything, then he wouldn't have to have wasted his time gathering all the 10 pieces of the Book of Annihilation that have awarded him the Symbiotic skin armor.
In some way, the system is growing with him and that's a good thing. He will get to do the work and reap the benefits while the system helps him where he can't, like absorbing the venom and bloodline.
But even though he couldn't get anything out of the system, he managed to get something. He gets to know he is in a different world which means he is far from home. Karsha has the knowledge of the Divine Alchemist but still remains oblivious to the structure of the cultivation world.
Perhaps, the Old man might have thought knowing about something while you have no capabilities to claim them is useless so he might have placed them far back in the legacy.
"Huh, A tier 6 monster" Karsha's senses picked up on something. He immediately became alert and started moving even more cautiously.
< You have killed a Tier 6 Monster; Green Horn Lizard >
Karsha walked closer to the monster to observe what it looked like. The glaive struck it right through the neck. The Monster looks like a lizard but much larger. It has shimmering scales and a horn on it head. The color of the horn is green. He didn't linger much longer as he just stored both the core and body.
Of course, the system extracted the Venom and bloodline, however, instead of a consumable, the system just directly extracted the blood and used it in the body tempering.
Slowly, Karsha's senses started picking up on more and more monsters the more he moved around the forest. Of course, he didn't allow them to notice his presence since before they could pick up on him, he killed them.
"This is madness" Karsh picked up ten more monsters each Tier 6 and they were all moving in his direction all around. The glaive whistles through the forest like lightning killing monsters with just one swift attack.
In under 2 hours, Karsha has killed over 50 monsters and the number keeps rising. More monsters kept coming after him and Karsha was forced to use his hoverboard which allowed him to travel faster than his own moving and also allowed him to have some vantage points as he moved.
"Damn it" As more and more monsters started to show, Karsha was forced to activate the domain and instantly activated both Variations and even the All in one skill.
The killing became more lively this time. After clearing the 10km around him, Karsha will use the blink ability to blink 10 km away, deactivate and reactive the domain, and then continue with his massacre.
Soon, Mutant monsters started to appear and their strength started to rise too. Lesser Mutant came, then Great and soon Dark started showing up, but they are all Tier 6 and Karsha has gotten stronger than a few hours ago.
Soon, Ice Queen Wrath entered the flow, and then Agni Sea Flame. His Mana is around 550,000 and thanks to the enhanced regeneration, his Mana is always full. However, despite the rapid regeneration of his Stamina, Karsha started to feel fatigued.
Perhaps, this is from the two Overlord battles. But Karsha didn't allow it to stop him, as more and more monsters started coming, he was forced to unsheath his swords again and began yet another massacre that laced the whole forest red making even the red world even more redder.
"I never should have touched that Mask" Karsha started regretting but his regret wasn't enough to stop the horde of monsters coming so he pressed on and started unleashing fire beam after fire beam. Then slowly, the Terror Mutants started showing up.
Karsha's body is dripping with sweat, his hair messy yet he never backs down. The golden Aura surrounded his body and his swords laced with sword aura making the already powerful attacks more deadlier.
"Rage Swordman" Karsha for the first time activated his Tier 5 skill he got after breaking into the Grandmaster stage. This skill grants him a 50% increase in attack power for every 10 minutes he spends fighting. However, it only works if he is fighting in close combat.
For the past 2 hours, Karsha had been fighting using his sword so he activated it and started slashing, thrusting, and stabbing his sword as he moved through the horde of monsters with a terrifying speed, thanks to his 'Stormstride Ninefold Path' movement technique.
After the first 10th minute, Karsha felt an explosive increase in his attack power making him start unleashing stronger sword attacks.
Another 10 minutes passed and the massacre never ceased, however, Karsha was tired and his movements started turning sluggish, however, he wasn't there yet. He wasn't at the stage he would have to drop his weapons and give up. He still has the strength and will of a soldier running through his veins so he pressed on.
After another hour, Karsha's attack power has gotten more terrifying but he is losing the strength to use it. Then it happened. Something slammed into the domain from the outside creating a crack.
However Karsha didn't panic, he hadn't used all his aces yet. However, the crack widened gain when the thing slammed into the domain for the second time. Then another slammed and then the next. Soon, more and more cracks started appearing.
The only thing holding the domain together is the golden Aura. Since it is cutting the damage in half, the attacks that could have shattered the domain just left a crack. However, that could only hold for long.
Another slam finally broke the domain making Karsha cough out blood. For a moment, his soul left his body when he saw the creature that broke his domain.
"What, A Tier 7 Terror Mutant" Karsha's voice was calm yet shaky. He took a few steps back and raised his head once more and looked at the face of the monster.
It stood about 80 meters tall but its body was huge like a double-decker bus, even bigger. Under normal circumstances, Karsha would have let out a snarky comment, but in the face of this monster, he immediately activated his fortress defense, and then for the first time, he activated his trump card
"Dark Prince Hell Art, first form: Sword Pool"
"Make it rain" The terrifying avatar of the Dark Prince appeared standing behind the fortress, and then the pool opened. At once, hundreds of thousands of golden swords appeared from the pool.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Karsha then activated two more skills, [Sword Aura EX] and [Sword Intent]. The Dark one raised its hand and gestured down. At that moment, Karsha saw the true might of the Dark Prince Hell Art.
Swords, long swords rained down from the pool and started striking the kong-looking monster. It rose defence but the swords are just too many. Some stabbed into its hands, some its belly, and some bounced off its skin, but there were thousands appearing every second since Karsha's Mana Pool is just too huge.
It took less than five minutes for the creature to fall and the messages started flowing in. Karsha who was inside the fortress sensed another presence, However, before he could make a move, another presence came from behind him.
But he didn't panic, on the contrary, he made a move no normal cultivator would have been able to make mainly due to the fact that they wouldn't have the Mana to to do something that crazy.
At his front, thousands of swords started raining down on the monster, However, from behind, a Golden sword slowly appeared from the depth of the sword pool and aimed at the creature that was instantly pressed under pressure. For the first time, Karsha understood what the Dark Prince might really is.
The sword shot and struck the creature in the back burying it deep to the ground. Karsha was tempted to unleash another sword but before he could make a move, an energy was over him and knocked him unconscious yet again but not before he killed Three Tier 7 Terror Mutants in under 10 minutes with just one technique.
