Chapter 34 Comeback

~Pov ?~ (First person)

Running through the fir forest, I jumped up and ducked from all the sticks. Behind me was the nightwalkers, chasing me to my limits. I was growing tired by the second. My body was bruised from top to toe. My legs was about to give up. But I did not care, all that was important was running, I have to escape. Run until it's day again.

My eyelids grew tired and started closing. Kinda like when you push yourself to much and black out for some seconds. Then regain your consciousness on the floor, with the only feeling left being confusion.

I woke up on the ground and the sound of nightwalkers brought me back to reality. It was over! I couldn't get up, in this state, I guess it's my time to die. I thought to myself, as I closed my eyes, hoping to die, while sleeping. Instead of feeling myself be eaten alive.

Third person.

A man, at his final breath, gave in to the sweet embrace of death. The nightwalkers surrounding the man, took the opportunity and attacked. That's when something weird happened, the man started to shine. The light made the nightwalkers retreat and scream in pain, as their black skin burned. The voice of a women sounded all around the man, the same words being said a thousand times, at the same time.

" Everything will be okey, I'm here child." The voice said, making the man shine even brighter, like he became the sun.

On this day the forest experienced the light of the sun once more. Thousands of vermin hunting pray in the forest died, to the miracle. As for the cause of the miracle, he was still unconscious, his body wrapped by the roots of the trees. Hiding him from all danger.

Xelena and Bennett was just about to finish their realms. Me and Julia started to create the realm, that was going surround our realms. It was a long process to combine realms. But we made it work, by making it the shape if a donut. Our realms are inside the donut and can expand infinitely, without our realms getting in the way. But for the moment we don't need size, but strength to the realm. So we compressed it, decreasing it's size, but increasing it's defense and offense.

" Julia do you have worshipers?"

" I did once, but the old pantheon leader killed all of them and sealed me. Then he used Xelena as a hostage, so I wouldn't escape. But I just got a new worshiper today. It's on the world you're apostle inhabits and he is quite close to them."

" Great, I need that world to be mine, make your worshiper work with mine." I told her.

The reward for winning the god game was two things. One you get that universe, it's yours and yours only! No god can have worshipers there without your permission. Second is that you go up one existence rank. If your anywhere between 3/12 to 6/12. If your above those existence ranks, your power in the rank your in increases by 50%.The celestials are the one rewarding this game, so you gain more then you usually do.

The light of the sun once more disappeared, as night arrived. The nightwalkers that hid during the day, were now violent and hungry. The fear and anger of seeing the day light angered them to the point of no return. This had consequences for me and Elenor, as they attacked the cave. So with no other choice, I went out to hunt them.

I used the threads as whips, slashing at all the nightwalkers around me. The battle was short, as all of them were weak. But that did not mean it was over, the sound of the battle would alert stronger foes.

So to prepare for the next wave of monsters, I stored all the nightwalkers in the cave and had Elenor create a wall of earth, that I could kill the creatures from. My request was put into action. Elenor created a five meter tall wall, going in a half circle around the cave. Then I used the remaining thread I had to create a roof above us, that would kill any nightwalker jumping above the wall. To recover some mana, I ate two of the nightwalkers. Elenor walked back into the cave, knowing she's to weak to do anything, for now.

Shortly after my preparation was done, the next wave arrived. This time there was D rank nightwalkers in the wave. One rank below me. As I just hit C rank, after consuming hundreds of nightwalkers under the cover of the day. This are my stats now.

Resist corruption = failed and succeeded.

Every day I feel myself grow stronger. But it's not enough, I must become even more powerful. But I did not have time to think about it, for now.

With the mana i had left I created water threads to cut all D rank nightwalkers to pieces. Black Blood splattered everywhere, burning the snow around us. The weaker nightwalkers were closing in on the wall, but they were no problem. I simply controlled the threads to fish up the nightwalkers, to throw them over the wall. The weaker nightwalkers were cut to pieces by the roof and landed next to the cave in pieces. I had no mana left, but thankfully controlling the threads doesn't cost mana, as they are a part of me, it's like moving an extra arm.

After some minutes of fighting all nightwalkers in the area were dead and I could finally bathe in the benefits. I made a net of threads to carry all the dead nightwalkers into the cave. Like always ones I entered the cave, the ice moved, closing the entrance. I left my roof created by threads, to kill any weak nightwalkers, trying their luck.

Elenor was expanding the cave, by condensing the stone, giving us more space and strengthening the caves wall. She was doing this to train and be useful at the same time, everyone does their part. Five meters away from the fire laid five logs, ready to be thrown into the fire, at any moment.

I threw some of the nightwalkers onto the fire, so Elenor could eat them, then I started eating the pieces of the weak night walkers. I used both my hands to shove in the disgusting meat. Elenor ignored the sight and started working on digging down, to create even more space and to not see me eat. The pile of hundreds of weak nightwalkers, was decreasing in size, but I couldn't eat all of them and I had dessert to enjoy. I started eating the D rank monster. They tasted way better and I could feel my power increase again.

Every time my mana got full while I was eating, I created more threads. I was going to have so many threads, that I wouldn't have to fear anything. Once every minute I would stop eating and turn the nightwalkers on the fire, so they wouldn't burn. After 30 minutes I was full and Elenors food was ready. So she stopped digging down and came to join me. But I didn't have time to give her company, as I had to return to the outside again, to defend against more nightwalkers, this would be a long night.

A man walked through the forest at night. He was shining like the sun, with no clothes in sight. The man seemed to walk with no direction in mind, but that did not stop him. In his hand was a sword made of light. Yet he never used it, as a nightwalkers feared him.

His eyes were empty, but still full of life, like he came back from certain death. The man made the light sword disappear, as if he got bored of it. Then he started to create all sort of things, of light. He made birds, wolfs, and lions, all sort of things was created by the man. As he aimlessly, walked through the dark forest.

But the man would not be alone forever, as a monster was watching him intensely. Not afraid of the light, no it was drawn towards it. It wanted the light, it was rightfully his, was the creatures thoughts as it sneaked closer to the man, ready to kill him. The creature got close to the man and jumped him.

My instincts told me to evade to my left, so I did. A millisecond after I dodged, a claw pierced the ground, then the ground exploded from the impact. So I couldn't see the creature. I created a axe of light and a shield, then I got in position, ready for an attack from any angle. The cloud of dust disappeared and I saw the creature. It was a giant moose, 5 meters tall. It's horns was dark like the night yet that changed. The giant moose horns started burning, like the rest of it's body, as it charged at me. I created wings of light and jumped up in the air and boosted the jump with the wings. The place I stood at moments ago, exploded into flames, burning down the trees around it.

A forest fire started to spread, even though it was -40 degrees outside. The fire was so hot I felt like I was burning, fifty meters above it. The moose noticed it missed and went for a second attack. It created clouds of fire, jumping on them towards me. Once it got close enough, the moose spewed fire at me. I dodge just barely as the fire covered a 500 meter radius. Not wanting to be on the escape all the time, I crated swords of lights and sent them at the moose. The moose noticed my pathetic attempt of attacking and scuffed. Then it created more fire clouds and escaped my barrage of light swords. Then it once more jumped towards me. The moose created a bunch of fireballs while approaching me. Then it created fire wings 50 meter long. The moose sent all the fireballs it created at me, while it charged at me, in hopes of overwhelming me. Thankfully speed is lights advantage, so I managed to dodge all of it's attacks.

At this point the moose was getting frustrated and it's attacks got even more deadly, as it did everything in it's power to kill me.

I was outside the cave, defending the wall and creating water threads, when I heard the sound of explosions. Fire lit up the sky, as two beings were fighting. I could not see what was fighting at this distance, so I was going to get closer to investigate. I grabbed one of the D rank nightwalker remains and ate it, to recover mana, then I flew to the fight.

The closer I got the louder the explosions got, it seemed that whatever was fighting was strong. When I arrived I saw a shining man and a moose fighting. It was a funny sight, but i had to save the man. Another none corrupted human was a huge find. Plus that moose isn't corrupted either, maybe I can make it join us.

So with a goal in mind, I flew to interrupt the fight.
