Chapter 198: Void Training III [3]



***

Amon unsheathed his odachi, locking his gaze on the worm.

It was about to dive back into the ground.

But Amon wasn't going to let the opportunity go like that.

He had an idea.

It was something he had thought of long ago.

And it was to apply [Void Touch] to his weapons.

And it actually worked. But the problem was that the weapon's metal would start to decay.

No matter how strong it was, it would start to tear up.

That's just how strong [Void] was.

And having only one prime weapon, Amon wasn't that keen on destroying it.

But the case was different in [Void Training].

If his reasoning was correct, applying [Void Touch] to the odachi would be perfectly fine.

It was because the weapons he picked from the [Void Expanse] should have been [Void] attributed themselves.

Considering they did look like the [Void] and were probably made from the [Void] itself.

It would be a little risky if his thoughts were wrong since the current odachi was the only weapon he had.

But he was willing to take it.

'[Void Touch]' Amon said, coating his odachi in an ethereal purple hue.

And in the next second, he shot through the air toward the worm.

He landed right on top of its gaping maw, his nodachi colliding with the metal blades of the

worm.

The blades made it impossible to go inside its mouth.

Fortunately, Amon had a fix.

Instantly, his whole body disintegrated into black wisps of smoke that passed through the blades.

He emerged inside the salivary mouth of the worm.

But he didn't waste any moment, quickly thrusting his odachi into the flesh of the worm. SQUELCH!

The odachi cleanly sliced in with a little bit of resistance.

SCREECH!

The worm screamed but Amon paid it no mind.

Pushing himself down its hollow body, he dragged the odachi through its whole body.

Slicing it completely open, with a slimy substance erupting out of its flesh and walls.

The worm wailed and screeched in pain, thrusting its body around.

Amon held himself still using its flesh as a support.

But his eyes widened when a splash of the slimy substance landed on his battered desert-like bodysuit.

SSSSTTT!

A sizzling burning sound echoed as Amon saw the part where the substance landed being burnt.

The slimy fluid was like an acid.

Fortunately, before it could go further in Amon immediately evaporated it using [Void Touch].

Finally, the worm turned limp as its body crashed into the ground, shaking the ground violently.

Amon quickly stepped out of its body by using [Voidstep].

Exhaling in relief, Amon looked at its rolled-up dead body.

Instantly, he saw two notifications in front of him.

A familiar one.

[The Void inside you grows larger...]

And a new one.

[1 Worm Defeated!: 1/100]

Ignoring the notification, he stepped toward the worm.

Amon wiped the sweat off of his forehead.

He had stored at least 0.1% of water reserves in the bottle.

It wasn't much but it was certainly something.

He would get more on the way.

For now, he needed to move to killing more worms.

Already, he had wasted 30 minutes in killing and everything.

As he was about to stride forward, Amon suddenly saw the ground shake with an intense

rumble again.

The desert sand sprang up as a sharp wind ran through the land.

Amon quickly covered his eyes, squinting them through a gap and looking forward.

And far off in the distance, he made out 4 arching backs of some sort cutting through the sand

at an insane speed.

It didn't take an idiot to understand what it was.

They were worms. 4 of them.

And they were heading straight towards Amon.

'Fuck...' Amon cursed.

Even though he was happy that so many of them were coming toward him and this would cut

his search.

But...

It was also going to be a difficult fight because of their large number.

He tried to think of how they even found out he was there.

Because they were too many for it to be just a coincidence.

'Did they sense my footsteps?' Amon thought.

It was certainly possible. Maybe their senses were extremely high that they could sense the sounds of the sand.

But.

Amon had another reason for it in his mind.

And it was the screams of the worm.

Even though it might be his footsteps, Amon considered them too silent for them to be

sensed by worms miles away.

He was leaning more toward the screeches, which were so loud that they could probably be

heard from far away.

In any case, he would just have to be more careful going forward.

But as an advantage, it would be a good method to locate the queen's lair.

Considering that was where the most worms might be coming from anyway. Keeping the direction from where they were approaching in mind, Amon unsheathed his

nodachi once more.

And then, weaved several threads around his arms shooting them forward.

The threads cleanly looped around the neck of a worm, now that they were only several

meters away.

And then, he pulled himself, while immediately using [Smokesoul Mirage] to disappear through its blades.

This message was supposed to be posted yesterday but I forgot.
