Training 2

I crawled through some inches of grass. This pressure really is suffocating. How do we know we won't run into any sin-ranked bests here if there are obviously some here. "C'mon go faster!" Ryhem said cheering us on. What a monster. He's cheering for us. He's not even alerted right now.

I bit my lip and kept crawling. I don't know the direction of the temple. This would be easy if I still had my original power. "Just keep going forward!" He gave us a hint. After 30 minutes, I could crawl above the ground. Strangely, the skirt seemed to be enchanted with runes as to not let anyone see my panties.

Ryhem had left. I was sweating a lot pushing through the absolutely grueling pressure. BLAARGH Ohh there goes whatever my last meal was. "ROARRR" It was a terrifying sound. "SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT!" I crawled as fast as I could I was running and so was Brian I looked behind myself. A blue-spotted tiger was running towards us it wasn't very strong.

I stopped with my hands out. The tiger kept running. I could practically see the smirk on the giant tiger's face. "Come at me!" I shouted. It rushed towards me. It landed on my chest carrying me *COUGH *COUGH I coughed some blood. I smirked. "DIE!" I destabilized it's atomic structure. It glitched suddenly airy coughs from the lion filled the air as it lied down to take it's final breath.

It gave out a soft final roar and died. "That's what you get,!" "Now where is my core?" I punctured my hand through the lion's dusty insides. I cut my hand on something. I dug in more and found it. Holding onto that lion for twenty seconds was quite risky.

I pulled it out it was a jagged blue crystal. I could sense the density of the life force inside of it. "Why didn't they get to the levels of the bests yet? That's really important." There was a sudden flash and boom. My crystal was gone it was most likely Ryhem.

I sighed there really was nothing I could do with it except leave it. He better give it back. The pressure hadn't gone away I was just ignoring it while my life was in danger, but now that it was my main focus again.

I'm lost. I need to stay the night here somehow. I still have 5 hours of day left might as well use them. I ran to the place where we were dropped off completely retracing my steps. Then I set straight forward. This test is meant to take more than a day so I need stamina. I jogged as fast as possible for at least 10 miles nothing in sight. And it's been 4 and a half hours.

I grabbed some sticks. I punched a tree again and again. I really was fully recovered. SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT that hurt a lot. I chopped the tree roughly into planks with my hands. I couldn't use my new power with precision.

All of this urst a lot. I lined up the planks into a triangle then I got some leaves and sap. I wiped it on with really sticky hands. Then I sealed up the wholes with leaves I finished setting up.

Work out time. This skirt is inconvenient. The skirt changed rapidly turning into pants. What the hell? It's the middle of winter. The forest was covered in snow with frozen blads of grass and frozen leaves. I need to warm up. I did one arm push ups pushing past my limits today.

KSHH KSHH KSHH. After 300 pushups, my body emitted a lot of steam almost like an engine.

Then I went to sleep. I woke up from nightmares the next day to a freezing cold forest. I got up and completely left the makeshift home. I couldn't eat the tiger but I could keep its coat it seems that all the insides atomize first.

I wrapped up inside of the warm coat and tekked on my way once again. It was very cold this morning. I kept on my path. SCREE SCREEEE monkeys. Really? Monkeys? I ran there were too many.

Scratch scratch scratch an abundance of scratches appeared on my body. Aaagh how am I going to do this??

I ran through the woods, running and jumping over any obstacles. The crowd of blue furry monkeys chased me, sending air slashes to me. I saw a large amount of trees in front of me that's my ticket out. I ran as fast as I could slightly outrunning the crowd monkeys.

I grabbed a thin tree that I had been looking out for and drifted around it and ran the other way. Making their air slashes go the other way. Cutting down the trees that they were swinging on. They tried switching directions but all of their momentum was gone leaving them slow and unable to catch up to me.

I did a quick victory pose and crap. I slipped off of a cliff I waved my hand in the air. There was water below that would break all of my bones and give me so many internal injuries. Welp. the diving position that's the best it'll get. I changed directions mid-air and soon hit the water. CCRACK that doesn't sound good.

Water filled my lungs and the water was painted red. I quickly swam up to the surface, almost passing out and drowning. I surface and coughed a lot. And more and more. Finally, a lot of bloody mucus and dirty water came out of my lungs. I thought I was going to die.

Achoo! I'm going to be sick this is horrible. And my coat is all wet. I can't believe I went through all of that trouble killing that blue tiger just for it all to get ruined and useless. I swam as fast as possible. RMMMMMMM AAAGH! I swam faster and faster as a giant fish came at me.

I'm so unlucky! I got on land and left. I set up camp and took my clothes off as soon as possible, succeeding on the first try at making fire. I folded my clothes and put them on top of the fire. And now another issue. I'm naked. I shivered as the cold wind blew against my body. It's morning and I'm already struggling. Crack. A stick broke. "OH MY GOD I'M SORRY!" It was Brian. I stumbled back "AAGH!" I have no cloth to cover up with. I stayed silent my face felt hot. "Why are you naked?"

"Well, I got unlucky, really unlucky, and ended up slipping off of a cliff into the water below." "Oh."

After another 30 minutes of Brian hiding behind a tree with his head turned my clothes and cot were dry. But I might have frostbite in my toes. I couldn't stop coughing. I have a sore throat and I feel sluggish aagh.

I looked around and found the tree Brian was hiding behind I decided to scare him. I silently stepped around the trees. "BOO!!" I scared him. "AAGH!" He jumped away. He calmed down once he realized I was fully clothed. "Why did you do that!" I laughed at him. I laughed for the first time in a long time. "Hahaha!" He started laughing too. We laughed until we cried.

Even if it hurt a lot to laugh. I really need to get my broken bone treated. "Were did you go when the tiger attacked?" I asked him seriously after we stopped laughing. "I kept running and didn't notice you weren't there I got lost too. Then I heard a loud commotion at the lake and came here and you know the rest." "Sounds easier than-"

"GRRR" "GRRRR" "GRRRRRR" "GRRRRR." "GRRRR" "GRRRRR" "GRRRRR" Blue-spotted tigers!. "GO GO GO!" I ran as fast as I could away from the lake I parkoured over a large tree trunk in my way taking the path to get away from the tigers. They jumped over it. I and Brian were running side by side. The leading tiger was following directly behind us.

I have to shake these things off! The leading tiger jumped very high and was so close I could smell it's horrible breath. This encouraged me I used the same trick as with the monkeys building up momentum to drift and switch off their momentum. It worked for a bit. I jumped backwards over on the lead tigers head and grabbed its hair. I tried to steer failing horribly.

It just tried to shake me off. I heard no felt strange vibrations in the air. It paralyzed me! I was quickly flung off of it's back. Three of the tigers all surrounded me. I activated my power breaking past the tigers paralyzing roar. I got up and held onto the main tiger. It was significantly bigger than the first blue-spotted tiger. It bit my stomach "GRAAAH!" I yelled but still held on it successfully shook me off again.

This us bad. I took horrible damage at this rate unless I kill all of the tigers I'll die. After being chased away from the rest of the lions I was in a face-off with the tiger it is, dying but so am I.

The tiger charged at me. I sidestepped it but it switched directions and lunged at me up in the sky was around 1000 pounds and when it landed 2000 pounds of force. I put my arms up this possibly the only time I'll get a chance to kill it.

I caught it. I could feel my blood vessels popping and my eyes popping out of my sockets. My muscles are damaged. "GRUAHHHHH!!!" I held it up breaking my forearms I threw it on the ground. I spit on it. "HAHA!" Its body deflated. "ROARRR!" The other two lions tried sneaking up behind me. Filled to the absolute brim with adrenalin. My wound dripped red. But it started sealing up. And I've felt worse.

I opened my arms and lowered my legs. They circled me. Their pride is stupid they should've run away. They rushed towards me SLAP! I attempted a punch, but it just turned into a loud slap.

It barely did anything and the tiger mawed my hand. I didn't let it distract me and shoved my hand deeper down its throat it started to turn to dust. It was dead but I didn't have the power to take my hand out of it's mouth. I'm on the verge of unconsciousness. Brian just in time mind controlled the other lion making it walk itself off of the large hill I had climbed to get up here.

"Sapphire!" He said running toward me. Everything was warped so blurry then dark.

….

….

"HAUUUH" I took a large gasp of cold breath and immediately regretted it. I was in a cozy mini cottage hurting. "Sapphire!" Tears fell down his face. "I thought you were going to die!" I thought I was going to die.

"How long has it been where are we?" I asked a quick flurry of questions. "Um we're inside of a cottage I built and it's been roughly twenty hours." So around 7 am. "Alright then I'm going back to sleep and you should too," I said. "I can't sleep and it's horrible every time I do."

"I know but you need to sleep to survive." I was still on the verge of collapsing so I could sleep.

…

I woke up I felt terrible but refreshed at the same time. Brian was also awake. I saw the hole he had ct into the little cottage for ventilation from the fire. It was a really well-built cottage. It had tiger fur for me to sleep on that seemed to never grow cold it was also a blanket. Brian was also wearing the tiger skin. I'm surprised we didn't get attacked and die in our sleep.

The sticks that made the arch we were sleeping in had blue spots poking through. He had probably covered the top with the tiger fur to ward off animals and have water-proof insulation.

Chirp Chirp Chirp I heard birds still chirping I had probably slept to a new day.
