Chapter 814 Anna's Adventure
Time passed by while Angus recalibrated his own body and spent a passionate night on Jayna's arm. In the meantime, Lilith and Brigida are having their own problems and headaches.
"This is bad..." said Lilith.
"Should we go back now and report to the Master?" asked Brigida.
"*Sigh* She never stops creating trouble." replied Lilith.
The little troublemaker Anna somehow enters the center of Everwhite Basin while riding the fifth-grade icebird Gram. Moreover, the whole basin is already covered by a terrible rainstorm.
The two prodigies couldn't even get close to the storm without getting electrocuted or thrown back by the harsh wind. Unexpectedly, little Anna somehow manages to ride the icebird Gram without falling.
Anna even does some crazy aerial maneuvers while swaying around in the air. After a few minutes of riding the wind like a surfer riding a wave, Anna finally arrived at the storm's center. Like any storm, the middle part of the basin is calm, but there is no longer a giant bottomless hole.
Only the humanoid monster overlord Gram standing in the center like a guard. The monster overlord also notices Anna's coming. In fact, he is pretty worried about this little girl. From his experience, this little girl is out of the world.
No one could clash with the Ancient Behemoth in direct confrontation and survive. This is not just a statement but common sense for those who know the Ancient Behemoth. The Ancient Behemoth is a unique being that could wield the power of time and space.
Their long and sharp claws contain the most time and space power. Anyone who clashes with it will deteriorate into nothingness as if consumed by time or crushed by the sheer pressure from the space itself.
In fact, anyone who could survive clashing with Ancient Behemoth means they have the power to destroy the world itself. Therefore, the monster overlord Gram didn't dare fight with this little girl who could survive this disastrous claw effect.
"Ehh... It's empty?! Pretty bird, land first." urged Anna.
After landing on the frozen ground, Anna finds a pitch-black color below the opaque frozen ice below.
"Woaahhh... It's so black. What is it? Can Anna eat it?" asked Anna to the humanoid Gram.
"..."
The monster overlord Gram tries to ignore Anna while having cold sweat on his back. Despite Anna not releasing any dangerous aura and being in the cheerful girl state, he feels like he is standing in front of a mighty beast.
"Hmm..." said Anna while having a mischievous smile.
As she slowly approached the monster overlord, the monster overlord felt more pressure. The pressure is unbearable but does not hurt his physical body. It only affects his psyche and mind.
"... R-Rgguuk Froz Full Nak Arkrain? [D-Did you want to enter inside?]" said the Gram Monster Overlord in his monster language.
"Ehh... Mmm... Is there some food there?" asked Anna.
'Food? Well, there are plenty of those weak ones.' thought Gram Monster Overlord.
"Groakkk. [Yes.]" replied the Gram shortly.
"Then, let's go inside." replied Anna excitedly.
"Izugru Frak Khaki [Please, wait a moment.]." said the monster overlord.
Then, the Gram hit the frozen ground below with the bottom of his spear. *BANG* The frozen ground shakes for a moment without anything happening.
"Mmm..." commented Anna while looking up.
While Anna gets distracted, the ice ground suddenly shakes heavily as some part crumbles and connects to the pitch-black bottomless hole. Yet, Anna keeps looking at the cloudy sky.
Anna's strange behavior also attracted the monster overlord. However, he didn't feel anything above besides the dark storm cloud. *BBZZZZTT* At this moment, a small space portal appeared out of nowhere and someone fell down near the bottomless hole.
'Space portal?!' thought the monster overlord with vigilance.
"Urgh... It hurts!! Now, where am I?" said the falling person.
"Ahhh... It's a pervert!!" exclaimed Anna.
Before anyone could notice, Anna already kicked the unknown fat man's balls and hid behind Icebird Gram while pretending to cry.
"OUCHH!! Not again..." said the man while slumping on the ground.
'That person... survive?!!' thought the monster overlord warily.
As the mysterious fat person wants to get up, he notices the humanoid Gram's dreadful aura. Shocked by the terrifying monster overlord's presence and aura, the fat man stumbled on his unsteady footing and fell back into the bottomless hole.
"ARRGGHHH!!!" screamed the man before disappearing.
"Ehh... What is happening?" asked Anna with a confused look.
'Did you not expect that?' thought the monster overlord.
"Well, it doesn't matter. Pretty Bird, Wissy Wissy!!" said Anna.
Then, Anna rides the Icebird Gram before falling into the bottomless hole, leaving the confused Gram monster overlord. Falling inside the bottomless pit, the Icebird Gram notices that the fat person from before is already gone.
Judging by the speedfall, they should still be able to see this person. This makes the Icebird interested in this mysterious fat person. Not only could he survive Anna's horrifying kick, but the fat person also somehow could disappear and appear with the mysterious space ability.
As the high-grade Gram, the Icebird Gram knows the pitch-black hole is another space portal that leads to the inside of another unique dimension. Opening another space during the fall is almost impossible, even for space elemental experts.
The dimension has no actual name, but everyone often refers to it as the Gram prison or Gram dungeon. It is a place where most of the Gram bred and spawned. After falling down for who knows how long, Anna finally sees a bright light in front of her.
Anna immediately jumps and does somersaults before landing carefully on the frozen ground. She finds she is inside some sort of icy alley that is often found inside a dungeon maze. It is a closed space without an opening for ventilation beside its straightforward path.
Some Grams of various sizes and species were surprised at Anna's sudden arrival. Seeing it was not of its kind, these mindless Grams immediately rushed towards Anna.
"Wiii... Safe!! Huh, bubbles?! Go, Magen!!" said Anna.
At once, Magen appeared on top of Anna's head before releasing a dark purple mist. All the incoming Gram immediately falls on the ground before its body turns completely purple. Even the Gram of frozen ice blocks falls to the ground without resistance.
The crabfrog's poison is not called the number one poison for nothing. It is a bizarre poison that could even infect and crush the elemental living being. Otherwise, any living with an elemental body could easily resist its poison.
"Good job, Magen. Now, let's go again... Wait, why does a pretty bird also fall down? Did the pretty bird eat something wrong?" said Anna.
"Hiishhh..." hissed Onyx from inside Anna's silky black hair.
"Ehh... Pretty bird is poisoned by Magen?!!" exclaimed Anna.
"Magen, Anna told Magen to poison those bubbles, not the pretty bird. Now, where should Anna find another pretty bird?!" said Anna.
Hearing this, Magen tries to control the poison inside the bird and the surroundings before retracting it back to itself.
After a few seconds, the poison mist is gone leaving only the corpse and the frightened recovered Icebird Gram. Unfortunately, it couldn't feel relief before Anna suddenly rode on it again.
"Yay!! Pretty Bird is back!! Wissy Wissy!!" said Anna while urging the Icebird to fly forward.
Because the alleyway is relatively small, it could only fly low, but it is still faster than ordinary running speed. *WHISSHH* As they travel forward, they find an ice wall in the front.
The Icebird wants to de-accelerate before making a turn to the side. Yet, Anna doesn't allow it and urges it to continue at full speed. The Icebird could only brace itself for a crash impact when facing Anna's ridiculous instruction. Just as they almost crashed, a hole appeared on the ceiling.
At the same time, Anna pulls the Icebird's body sharply and turns upwards. After they passed the ceiling hole, its entrance immediately closed in seconds. The same situation happens as Anna keeps pulling the Icebird into the secret opening in the wall.
In fact, this is not a secret wall but a frozen wall maze mechanism. Because the Ice wall is formed by a dense ice element, it always moves in a random pattern. Sometimes, it would create another path hole for a few seconds. Other times, it moves the whole ice wall for months.
There are also times when it completely blocks a long alleyway. Moreover, the ice-wall maze is also growing and becoming more extensive. With its current size, the Icebird Gram needs at least a few weeks to escape from it. If it gets lucky, it may be able to do it in a few days.
Now, the Icebird Gram could feel they were already approaching the exit from it. After a few more sharp turns, the Icebird noticed a familiar presence from the front pathway hole. As they enter the next pathway hole, they arrive at another area.
"Finish!! Yay!! Yay!! Anna wins!!" said Anna excitedly as if she had just won a race.n/.0VelbIn
The excited Anna is entirely oblivious to her surroundings while cheering herself loudly. In the meantime, Onyx and Magen observe their new environment vigilantly. They arrived inside a big room covered with snow and ice.
