Chapter 133: Following the Strange Creature

Chapter 133: Following the Strange Creature

The monster turned to look at Miles once again to check if he was following or not. When it noticed Miles was indeed following, it bounced further and further away jubilantly. Miles wondered if this monster was any different than any that invaded this world. Could it be a native creature? Miles thought, I doubt though. Any living thing ceased to exist after monsters invaded Portal World. At least that was what Mother AI said.

While the monster was leading Miles only gods knew where Miles activated his newest vision. Elemental Vision!

Miles used this ability after leaving the virtual world once and noticed unlike in the virtual world, this ability caused him a great deal of pressure, creating ever-increasing headaches. But now using it once again, Miles felt like it wasnt as taxing as it was before. Most probably thanks to serum increasing his brain capacity.

Miles looked at the monster with the elemental vision but to his surprise, he saw nothing. It was a white blank silhouette on a canvas of different colors. Miles tried the ability before and knew that he was able to see the monsters elements with the help of elemental vision. It didnt work in Virtual Reality for some reason, but in the real world, it was working on humans as long as the said person wasnt Form-Rank or higher.

Miles thought it to be related to the vampire he acquired the ability from. After all, the monster was high-tier, so he couldnt use the eyes for any monster above this level. But why didn't it work on the jelly-like monster? Was it higher than Grunt-Rank? Miles doubted.

There was strict segregation between circles, and monsters wouldnt pass through the barriers if they could. Rarely a few monsters would cross the border. At first, Miles didnt know the reason, but after having the mind serum and classified information with it, he finally found the reason. The energy was much more abundant in inner circles, and higher beings felt uncomfortable in outer circles.

It was like getting used to a rich oxygen area, and when a person moved to the city with sparser oxygen, felt suffocating. Monsters from inner circles instinctively avoided outer circles, and humans did the same to avoid discomfort. But in some cases, both monsters and humans would travel to outer circles. That was what had happened when the eagle chased Miles. But the monster in front of Miles didnt look in discomfort at all, it was bouncing happily luring Miles further and further away.

Miles, it is too far from the stronghold. It might be better for us to stop. Coin recommended for him to stop. They were walking for more than a week and encountered many strong monsters. All of them were getting closer to Frenzy-Rank.

Miles didnt know where the path was going, but since they were walking further away from the stronghold and further away in the G-Circle, they shouldnt have encountered any Frenzy-Rank monsters. But the monsters were getting stronger. It wasnt making any sense. For all reasons, in the path to the outer circle of the G-Circle, monsters should have been getting weaker, but they were getting stronger.

Lets continue a little longer. I am curious about the monster and want to see why it wants me to follow it. If there is any problem, I am confident to run away. Miles said. He was curious and wanted to find out.

Alright. Coin accepted helplessly. Miles was too curious and always gave the same excuse. But it was one of the things that made him special, so Coin wouldnt change it.

After bouncing and walking half a day longer, the Jelly monster and Miles arrived at a cave. Miles looked at the interior and the monster.

Did you draw me here for this cave? Miles asked. They werent slow at all, but it still took them more than a week to travel where they were. Because no monster attacked them, Miles didnt dare to start a fight either in case they turned violent once again. He could only consume the food he brought and the fruits he found in the way. Now they have arrived at a cave, Miles sighed with relief. At least they reached their destinations.

The monster looked at him when it wanted Miles to follow it. Miles walked at the cave and activated dark vision, he could see a little further but not the entire cave even after using the dark vision. Miles had a bad feeling about the place but was also curious. He left the caves entrance and looked at the mountain where the cave was opening. Mountain was so tall, Miles couldnt see its tip. On both sides, the mountains end couldnt be seen. It looked like a curtain separating the land.
