403  402: Killer Whale? Tier 5? (16th Bonus Chapter)

    The Dimension of The Old Ones.

    The Dimension of The Old Ones was a world that was filled with monsters, abominations, and even places that defied meaning and common sense.

    Encountering something that would either baffle or horrify the mind was something that was common to the inhabitants of the shattered dimension. However, there were certain places even the inhabitants of The Dimension of The Old Ones designated to be death zones or forbidden zones.

    These death zones were places every inhabitant was warned about from the moment they became old enough to leave their various settlements, and one of the death zones was called The Morphing Expanse of The Multitude or in short, The Morphing Expanse.

    The Morphing Expanse was not called a death zone because of how the land continuously reshaped itself at completely random and unpredictable times. It was called a death zone because no matter what terrain The Morphing Expanse changed to, it always had countless numbers of monsters.

    When it became a land of mountains, hills, and rocky ground, it had countless numbers of beasts called Capra Ferox. These beasts were the goats Corey and Selene fought.

    What Corey and Selene didn''t know was that the previous terrain of hills, mountains, and rocky grounds had countless Capra Ferox. However, most Capra Ferox stayed inside the mountains and hills, and unless one encroached on their territory, they would choose not to attack.

    However, this was not the same when The Morphing Expanse became a desert, what one encountered was not the Capra Feroxes, but Aqualapides.

    The Aqualapides were much more terrifying beasts than the Capra Ferox. Not only were their numbers as vast as the sand of the desert, but they were much more vicious and acted purely based on their instinct which was to kill and devour.

    -----

    "Hmm?" Corey frowned and looked down.

    Although the countless number of aquatic beasts and the strange energies of the land prevented him from seeing past fifty meters, there was nothing obstructing him from perceiving the sounds produced in the ground.

    Despite his Ears of Omniscience picking up on a different sound that was produced in the ground, he saw nothing.

    ''Be careful and alert. Something might happen.''

    Corey warned Selene just in case, and Selene was taken aback. She glanced at Corey and then at the ground. She exhaled slightly and then looked up. Unlike Corey whose control over his body was unparalleled due to his stars of consciousness, Selene''s control over her body was just a little bit better than average.

    How many times had she found herself in near-death situations?

    21:43

    Although this near-death situation was definitely out of her pay grade, she wasn''t going to give up just because of a damn fish.

    She exhaled lightly, and then she manipulated the mystic mana in the air so that she could stop her descent into the sea of Aqualapides.

    However, when she tried to manipulate the mystic mana in the air, she found out how absurdly difficult it was. The rain had made manipulating the mana in the air so difficult to the point that it would require all of her focus just to keep herself afloat.

    Before a seed of despair had the opportunity to be planted in her heart and mind, she collided with something that caused her body to jerk upward and her eyes to roll inward.

    Bang

    Her heart rate spiked up in that instant, and the instant she regained her senses, Corey''s voice resounded in her ears.

    ''Jump and run!''

    Selene was stunned, and she quickly looked around.

    Her eyes widened slightly when she saw that what she had collided with a hexagon platform. She looked in Corey''s direction and saw him running on another platform made of hexagons.

    Meanwhile, a few meters above her was another platform of hexagons that she was meant to jump to and run on.

    When she saw this, she could not help but become stunned.

    ''What sort of monster is my master?''
