Chapter 183: Self challenge 12
Thud! Bai Lung fell to the floor, feeling tired for the first time in many days.
He lay there, staring blankly at the sky as the dark miasma swirling above him.
Bai Lung’s body grew weaker with each passing day.
The dark matter that he had fought so hard to avoid was slowly taking over his body, his hands and feet were already infected by the dark matter as he was slowly turning into those monsters.
He felt it creeping into his veins, tainting his blood and corrupting his mind.
Even the once-bright shards in his possession now seemed dimmer, their power was weakening as his own strength faded.
Despite this, he refused to give up.
Every day, he pushed himself to move forward, to find a way out of this nightmare.
His steps were slow and labored, but his determination remained unbroken.He wandered through the desolate city, searching for any sign of hope but soon everything went downhill, as he couldn’t move any longer.
He just lay there, waiting for the sticky dark matter to fully take him and corrupt him.
Day 170
On this day, Bai Lung’s whole body was dark and sticky, only his consciousness was hanging on the verge of being eaten.
Just then the giant figure came in front of him once again.
You there!
The giant figure spoke looking at Bai Lung towering like an unstoppable mountain.
You are just like me, aren’t you?
The figure once again spoke.
‘ Huh? Just like him? ‘ Bai Lung Wondred.
Yeah! Just like me, you are also trapped here, you aren’t from this world, are you?
The figure asked.
‘ You can read my mind? ‘
Indeed! If you let those ‘Void-dusts’ take over your body, you will become just like the monster you have hunted till now.
The figure spoke while he dropped a few shimmering items on top of Bai Lung.
These will help you recover. Now then, Farewell! Little friend hope you can find the way out.
Saying those words, he began to move without producing any sounds despite his huge body.
‘ Eh? What was that? ‘ Bai Lung talked to himself while the void dust couldn’t on his head.
It seems these dark sticky things are called void dust, no wonder, it erases the memory and pushes someone to madness.
At the same time, Bai Lung looked at the shimmering light, it was a tree leave and surprisingly the leaves looked somewhat similar.
He can’t quite recall where he had seen such leaves but they sure were unique, with long shapes glowing with a faint green light followed by strong eye blinding greyish light.
Day 172
Bai Lung was completely healed, and his control over shards also became strong.
He still recalled the words spoken by that big guy ‘We both are from another world ‘ which made Bai Lung realize that the more he stayed here, he would become just like that.
So, he began to search every single place as he was sane at the moment, he had only one goal at the moment, and that was to escape.
Day 173 – 180
This week Bai Lung found nothing magical but he didn’t forget any memory from Day 172 onwards.
It seems the leaves had some magical property to save him from the effect of these void dust and nothingness-smoke ( miasma )
By Day 180, he had 10 shards, and slowly the shards were beginning to glow red instead of golden.
Day 180 – 200!
He once again returned to the ant colony and underground cave, but he had no memory of being here not he even knew he had the skill ‘ Echo manipulation ‘
One by one, he killed all the ants and mercilessly slaughtered the ant queen, who was eating the dark stones and mud to give birth to ants.
She was the only one, who had the ability to at least give birth with nothing.
Exploring the cave, and wiping out the ants, he only found a small bottle of green liquid stored in a clean muddy bowl.
Rather than, stored in the clean muddy bowl it looks like the green liquid was actually purifying the mud.
His first thought was to drink it but by mistakenly, the shards flowing around him were the one that absorbed the green liquid, causing them to glow with a menacing red aura.
He couldn’t even get mad or angry with a straight face, he just accepted his fate.
Day 200 to 250
This time, he was walking towards the center, on these 50 days, with his powerful shards he managed to kill thousands of monsters, all while he found nothing… No new treasure.
He even searched for the big guy but he couldn’t find him.
Bai Lung stood amidst the ruins of the desolate city, looking at the unclear and foggy sky.
‘ Was something up there? ‘ Bai Lung thought, he wondered if the key to get out was in the sky.
Determined to find a way out, Bai Lung ventured deeper into the corrupted heart of the world looking for anything he could find.
As he continued to unknown territory…
The landscape grew increasingly twisted and hostile, the air thick with dese dark miasma.
And just as he entered another long destroyed city,
He encountered larger, more ferocious creatures than before with their bodies distorted by the void dust.
They weren’t the height near the mountain-like guy, but, they were somewhat big and powerful.
Nonetheless, he easily slaughtered them mercilessly. And but none of them became smoke and disappeared nor did they drop a dark crystal.
They just died.
Day 251 to 280
Bai Lung’s journey led him to a massive fortress of black stone, hidden deep within the corrupted forest.
The fortress exuded an aura of malevolence as its walls pulsated with dark energy.
His sinister smile widened as he thought he would obtain something helpful here.
——
Meanwhile,
” Eesh! He even cleared the third floor… This brat is truly incredible, ” The royal advisor spoke.
” hmm! ” The emperor just nodded his head.
…..
Ding!
In case you are wondering…
– The leaves are familiar as it’s from Tree of origin, and he has one in his sea of consciousness.
.
– The test never said he would be pulled out of this world once 100 days passes, it just said survive 100 day and you pass.
