Chapter 9: Abyss Gate(2)

My gaze shifted to my sides, using Lightning Steps, I ran and continued running, stopping only after I spot an enemy after a minute or so. It was a worm, a gigantic and long grey worm with more than half of its body underground.

It's exposed body was at the height of 10 meters, many times taller than me. I started gathering a huge amount of lightning elemental energy at the tip of my spear, creating small black clouds covering my spears blade.

Using Lightning Steps, I leaped as high as I can in mid air. Creating a thick, small flatform below my feet with Mental Energy, I aimed my spear at gigantic worm's mouth, which is wide open. The gray worm, sensing my presence, let out a strong, deafening beast-like roar, which made me almost lost my concentration.

Scree!

Damn! I felt like my ears were going to burst. That roar was extremely loud, it might have even attracted other demons. Without wasting any more time, I threw my silver spear at the worm's huge mouth.

"Eat this!" The spear coated with lightning turns into a sharp bolt of lightning as soon as it was released from my grasps, flying straight toward the worms mouth.

Just as I intended, the worm swallowed my spear coated in lightning.

Scree!!!

The gigantic worm began to trash it's whole body, sending earthquakes throughout the whole cave. I had used Lightning Steps to get far away from the thrashing worm.

Scree!!!

It let out another agonizing roar, evident to the amount of pain it felt from my attacks. More and more of it body protruded from the ground, increasing the intensity of the earthquake. Huge cracks and craters were left on the ground as the worms fasten it's pace.

"Ah!!! That was close!!!" I shouted as loud as I could, barely avoiding a falling earthen spikes from above. Cracks formed on the cave walls, debris falls to the ground with a loud thud every increasing seconds. Even the spikes from above was not spared, some have already fallen to the ground, and I was almost hit by one. That scared me to death, even till now my heart is still thumping faster than normal.

Before I knew it, the gigantic worm died. It's head was unlucky, pierced by a giant falling spike, ending it's pitiful life. I looked at the destruction caused by worm in front of me with a sigh. Before, the whole place was just a wide cave. Now, I have to jump through some debris, making exploring the place even harder.

"How do I get out again?" I muttered. Then I realized something. Wasn't I just transported into a random place inside thr Abyss Gate? How did the Elven warriors managed to get out? More importantly, where's the exit?

Before I got immersed in my thoughts again,

Roar!

A loud, beastial roar erupted from somewhere, making me look for it with caution.

Roar!

The demon, probably, roared again. It's roar echoed throughout the cave, making it so hard to find if using where the roar came from.

Step. Step

My attention from the roar was suddenly taken by the sounds of footsteps from my left side. There, 5 Headless Knight appeared, walking to me in a hurried manner while wielding different weapons. "I have no time for this." I said cooly.

It surprised me that they survived in the first place, I was pretty sure these dumb armors would have been crushed by the falling debris.

My main concern was the roar from earlier, not these walking headless armors towards me. There are five of them, meaning I would need to take them out as soon as possible. As I ponder the most effective way to deal with them, I noticed something odd.

It wasn't clear before, but now that I can see them closer and clearer, I can see black particles would spark in their weapons every second or so. This hasn't appeared on the two Headless Knights I fought before, so what's the difference between them?

The distance between me and the armors should be more or less than 3 or 4 meters, I was planning on using [Small Storm], but before that I checked my Lightning Element Seed where my Lightning Elemental Energy is stored. Half remains, I have used atleast half of my energy. I need to end this fight as soon as possible and recover my Lightning Elemental Energy.

Black clouds seeped out of my body, quickly covering my surroundings with it. Small blue lightning crackled on the black clouds, then in the next split seconds, the whole are envelop by black clouds was bathed in thick snakes like bolts of lightning. This phenomenon lasted at fix 5 seconds, when the clouds dispersed, I was amazed at how destructive my Skill was.

Everything in the 5 meter radius around me, was obliterated. The ground was churned black like coal, the debris along with the headless knights was utterly destroyed. Everything was erased from the very existence.

The whole cave trembled once more, thinking it was the demon from before, I hurriedly took out another silver spear, preparing myself for battle.

"Huh!?" I felt myself falling, making me very confused. The ground beneath transformed into a purple mist, just like the the door of the Abyss Gate.

Once again, my vision was enveloped by purple light. When my vision returns,

"THE HECK!!??"
