Day 30.2: Brutality

I can't really tell if this place looks more weird during the night or if its maybe just me.

As I walk throughout the forest searching for my burrow I begin to feel an odd feeling. This feeling is like that pleasure but painfull feeling I got after killing the goblin trio, however it didn't hurt but its just feel.... Odd.

Not knowing what's going on I decide to just shrug it off thinking its just my imagination.

Where is it?

I look around the forest for couple of minutes and I still can't find my burrow anywhere I look, I didn't have this problem back on the upper floors. Maybe I should have marked where it is so I can find it easily but then again I don't exactly know how I'm going to mark it.

Apperentlly searching for a burrow located on the floor is way harder than just searching for it on a wall. Did it perhaps got covered by something or am I just terrible at locating at forest.

As I continue my search the air begins cool down turning the warm air into cold. Now I'm pretty sure this floor is just trying to copy paste the 16th floor now. Fog begins to appear and shrouds the forest making it harder for me to see and harder for me to search for my burrow.

What's going on?

Every second the fog thickens and then I begin to hear yells and roars of savage beast all around me. Ever since I had thought that this place would be one of those floors where its called a safe zone since most of the monsters here aren't as powerful as the ones I faced from the upper floors.

Apparently I dearly paid the consequences of letting my guard down again.

From the bushes beside me a large brown ape with large sabertooth teeth and long sharp witch like nails jumps at me. It then latches onto my back with its nails digging through my skin. Quickly I cast Light Arrow right beside its head.

The light arrow passes through its head from the side making its head looks like agent sanchez's destroyed head from GTA5 from the side.

What the hell?

I inspect the brown ape to find that its  the same brown ape that manage to escape from me earlier, however something caught my eye. Its whole body is now bigger than before, its teeth now has big Sabertooth like fangs and its arms were now longer as if it has just turn from a monkey into a full fledge gorilla.

I guess I'll be eating you when I get home.

I pick up its hand and suddenly its eyes open wide revealing its dark bloody red eyes and it pulls me down and bites its teeth into my arm making me scream in pain as it sharp teeth passes through my arm's skin creating a large hole in it.

In reaction to the pain I instantly cast multiple Light arrows around its head destroying it to pieces. Agh.... What... The hell...

I pull out its teeth from my arm slowly and carefully as to not damage it further but the pain its creating as I pull them out makes it a very agonizing experience.

After I finish pulling all of the teeth out of my arm I'm rewarded by an excruciating taste of pain and agony through my arm that I can't even move or feel as of now.

Ahhhh..... It feels like it going to fall off...

I sat down and repeatedly spam cast heal on my arm healing it bit by bit. What kinda monster can even still live after getting its head blown off!?

Suddenly I hear more roars coming from around me giving me a somewhat scared feeling that more of them are coming here but there's no way rig-

My wounded arm that I was healing suddenly circulates a large doze of pain all around my body as I feel something stabbing it. I hold of my scream of pain making me grit my teeth. I look at what was stabbed me in the arm to see a feather as sharp as a blade thrusted through my arm.

"KUAAAAK!!!" ???

I look in front of me to see 1 no 2 bladed peacock infront of me. However just like the brown ape from earlier they also look different. Their eyes has now turn dark red like blood, they were bigger and their feathers were now the size of an average kitchen knife.

They run towards me with their bladed tail feather behind them ready to shoot or slice me. I cast light arrow infront of me and a barrage of arrows rain down on them. As they get impaled everywhere around their body they continue to run towards me as if they don't know pain. One of them even got impaled in the neck and its still not dead.

I quickly get up and run the opposite way while also tending to my wounded arm by repeatedly casting heal on it. Feather like blades were shot at me from behind as I run. Some of the feathers hit me in the back and sum just scraped my skin, all in all its painful.

As my wounded arm almost fully healed I trip on a tree root and fall to the ground.

"KUAAAK!! KUAAAAK!!!" Blade Peacock1.

I cast my final heal by using 50% of my mana left over and fully healed my arm. The reason I didn't do this sooner is because I don't want to waste to much mana and I don't exactly know how mana is needed in order to fully heal it.

I quickly get myself up and face the Bladed peacock's. How the hell are you 2 are even still alive?

The bladed peacocks continue to run towards me and they each swing their tail feathers at me. I avoid their attack and cast Disorient and flash in quick succession in order to perfectly confuse them however they were not faze by them by the slightest and just continue to swing their feather tails at me.

Are they even still alive!?

I cast Fire on my hand and focus myself to spray it onto them like a flamethrower. As their body get caught on fire burning them they still didn't care and continue to swing their flaming bladed tail at me.

I keep dodging and avoiding their attacks until they finally fell down to the ground not even moving. Just in case I smash both of their heads with my greatshield.

Haaa....I'm very exhausted, what the hell is going on in this forest?

I know for sure that these things aren't as tough as they are right now the last time I fought one, moreover it look like they were ignoring every attack I did at them as if they're non existent.

All of this happen in one day, now I'm really changing my perspective about this floor. Neo's right, I should really never let my guard down.

The ground begins ro shake as I hear something from the far distance of the forest far to my right. Roars, yells, and

Loud Squeaks can be heard coming from my right. The fog around me thickens and now from the right I cam only see Ominous glowing dark red eyes moving closer and closer towards me.

I've fought a horde of zombies alone before but this is just near suicidal since they aren't technically undead. Its a battle between 1 Lesser Demon against a horde of monster. As long as I keep my guard up I should kinda be. Fine.

"You heroes are truly the 13th most prideful beings I have ever met" ???

"W-what the hell!!! We're heroes in a another world!! We should have easily killed her by now!?" ???

"Trying to ambush me with your newly gain spells and skills thinking it would be enough to beat me is very foolish lf you" ???

"W-well you're going to attack this town aren't you!?" ???

"I was merely coming to visit this town in search of a good place to stay with my Master later on" ???

"Ihhh, There's no way you would just come and visit!" ???

"..."

"You humans are truly trying to push my patience as to not kill you as of now. If you really want me to think that I will destroy this town then I shall destroy it" ???

"W-wait that's no-"

"Hell's Spark" ???

As she conjure those words a tiny spark of dark red fire appears on her index finger in which multiple magic circle covers the spark of fire.

"Did you know.... That a spark of True fire from Hell can disintegrate a planet, Where as a seed of it can disintegrate a whole universe"

"A very small sliver of it disintegrate this city to cinders by just touching the air" ???

We should have readied ourselves before facing her. She's not something we can fight instantly and win at the start like every video games.

***

I slide down to my burrow not being able to feel my legs. I lay down on the ground to rest my brutally wounded body.

My left forearm ripped off, my right horn cracked, my bone armored chest feeling as if its going to come off. Apparently I wasn't only fighting apes and peacocks.

My legs were filled with deep bite marks all over. Giving me excruciating pain. Now that I think about it.... Fighting a horde is really a very bad idea considering I only have around 40 to 30% of my mana leftover.

I'll heal most of my injuries later..... for now I'll just rest.....
