Chapter 16 - I Am The World

Danny didn't move when Ay told him to even when he felt the seriousness in her voice. 'Ay how come your not staying true to your role. It won't be fun if we're both impulsive. So let me do the crazy things and you berate me of how I shouldn't do it while worrying endlessly."

Danny's shameless reply awoke Ay from her thoughts. She then felt embarrassed which quickly turned to anger, " Listen fool whose impulsive, did I tell you to go with a suicidal attack, I just said go there sneak.."

"But you clearly sai.."

"No buts got it what I said was clear as day if you misunderstood it then your a fool. Sigh just look what I have to deal with." Ay defended herself without give Danny a chance to respond. Her reply left Danny speechless to the point that he then began to mumble how he will spank her all night long." Oh Danny dear did you say anything." Danny quickly responded,"Definitely not, you must be really tired. Just get some rest and I'll figure out a way to kill these beasts."

Danny quickly shifted his focus to deal with the 3 beasts. There were two beast who were the same type, the beast is called Blood-Eyed Royal Hounds. The reason for there names is that there eyes are red with no pupils and there fur is white with streaks of gold around them. These are a rare type of beasts and have strong battle power but there intelligence is very low. Danny wasn't too worried about them as they were only in the 3rd Gold lvl and were dumb. He was trying to think of a method to kill the other beast which was a Moon Wolf. This beast was very intelligent and cunning as well as had the ability to control beasts weaker than it. The beast had silver colored fur and its eyes were white with silver pupils, on its forehead there were 3 crescent marks showing that it was in the gold rank but from the aura its been giving off it definitely is at the last stage of the gold lvl.

The first thing was obvious he won't fight at night as the beasts abilities will be strengthened. He asked Ay if the had the map of 10 kilometers around the cave to which she replied no. He began to scout the area and the map slowly filled up. As he was about to finish he spotted a den of Tribal Razor Claws. The reason they are called tribal is that this type of beast usually hunts and lives alone but when there is a chief among them they gather into a group and form a den. They usually stay like that from then on(with or without chief. These beasts look like small tigers with long metallic claws on all four legs as we as a sword like tail. They also don't have tiger stripes but instead of horizontal it is vertical. Lastly they had saber tooth like teeth just a tiny bit smaller. Finally the plan he was trying to make in his mind came together.

At first he was looking for some type of distraction to lead toward the ruins then he would sneak in from the side. This time he can just watch everything play out, as he putted two parties against each other. If there was a black gold rank beast he will know. He first went back to where he was spying at the ruin entrance then made a safe zone. He dug a hole underground then he dug under the thickest tree and made enough room for him to stand. He also placed petals that decrease his sent around the hole in the ground. Finally he prepared a blanket that he designed to look like the ground(hide+sap+dirt+leaves). Now that he was prepared he made a small hole in the tree he hollowed out so he can see. He left his safe zone charged towards the razor claws den, without them poor creatures being prepare he used his spear and pierced the hearts of a few copper and silver beasts. When he heard a loud roar he left just as quick as he came. Behind him hundreds of Razor Claws were chasing him and one really large one was catching up. He thanked god these beasts weren't known for there speed. He then ran towards the Moon Wolf ignoring the attacks of the Hounds by deflecting them to the side with his spear. Such basic attacks which were only brute force was easy for the current him to deal with. Just as he was about 10 meters from the Moon Wolf he made a sharp turn with his movement technique and took off faster than before toward his safe spot. He entered the hole covered it then he went into the tree and began to look at the fruits of his labor.

Meanwhile with Ay she was cursing him every step of the way. Every part of this plan was filled with risks.

The Moon Wolf knew that this situation was caused by that sneaky human. Although it had killed a hundred or so of the Razor Claws with the hounds but the two poor mutts eventually were killed. The Moon Wolf began to control some of the beasts and had them attack there own while it fought against one who was in the early gold rank. Then a roar was heard and killed the beasts who were under the Moon Wolf's control. Then it glared at the Moon Wolf. This was the chief Razor Claw and was a black gold rank beast. The Moon Wolf Let out a howl when it saw the RC chief make a move and its body glittered in a silvery aura and blasted the RC chief back. The chief wasn't injured but seeing that it was pushed back by a weaker beast surprised it. Seeing it's strongest attack fail it fell down without energy. At least it took another 3 dozen beasts with it.

Danny who was in the tree too scared to move was cursing his stupidity, 'why didn't I go to the den and rob some treasures, all main MCs in almost all novels did that. I can't believe I'm missing out these dam seals are definitely equipped with bad luck. Just you wait old bastards with sagging ancient balls I'll end you soon.' 'Danny's luck is really bad I guess,' thought Ay.

Just as the RC Chief was going to give the final blow a beast dashed out from the cave a peak black gold beast also a Moon Wolf but it was bigger and had four crescents on its head. This didn't scare the RC chief at all it ordered its kin and began to attack both beasts to tire them out. Danny left his tree quickly and went rapidly without a sound towards the cave. He first copied the words written and went inside the cave. There was no beasts inside the cave only the Wolf nest, as he looked around he saw a small rock that had the word "World" written in different language. He put his hand on it, suddenly the worlds lit and cracks appeared on the wall. Like a door opening, a meter long meter wide hole was made as the part of the wall Danny touched moved back. In his view stairs leading god knows where showed up. He decided to enter and went down the stairs.

"TRANSFORMING WORLD" with writing describing what it is. He went toward it and placed his hand on it and copied it for Ay. She seemed busy so he didn't bother. He went through the gate and the first thing that happen was a multicolored light attacked him. He suddenly began to feel severe pain all over his body. His body was fine but this was the pain of his soul. That thing seemed to attack his soul and he already knew this pain very well thanks to getting hit by lightning. The soul force in his dantan was drained trying to heal his soul as well as the soul energy in his cells. Eventually even Ay began to scream loudly. Danny grit his teeth and told Ay to get into the EGL core. As she did she felt less pain and wasn't going to dissipate anymore. The pain Danny was feeling intensified if it wasn't due to his racial ability to regenerate his soul he would have died by now. As parts of his soul broke apart slowly new one formed and in this way just to self preserve itself his body slowed down all bodily functions and focused on healing. Danny was suffering like crazy and couldn't think straight his soul was breaking apart faster than healing and the pain was unimaginable.

Although it was less painful than lightning, he at least hadn't faced it for this long. Ay suddenly yelled to him to meditate. What ever hit him bypassed the EGL skill and fused directly with his so. He began to breath heavily until he entered his mind space slowly went to the core and held Ay's hand and they began to breath as one. Ay seeing his soul degrade felt heartbroken although she didn't have a heart. As the breaking finally became in synch soul energy gathered around them entered his mouth. Once it entered his body directly supplement it to the soul to regenerate it. Finally after sometime the rate of dissipating and healing became equal. Ay was worried like crazy but remained focused on breathing. After an unknown period of time of what felt like eternity his soul stopped breaking apart instead it healed back to its initial size. The only difference was that his soul as well was Ay had a colorful shine to them. Danny who was in deep meditation finally woke up. He saw that behind him were the gates he entered and in front of him was a huge stone monument written on top of it.
