Chapter 190 - Crashing In!

Back from the dead!

That would be the reaction of any person who witnessed me killing the shadow assassin, if he saw the current me who looked identical to his partially demonified form.

It looked like the effect of the recently added 2 points to 'Illusion' was pretty much worth it, one could practically make a living using such convenient abilities, no matter how one looked at it, Long was truly worthy of being a reward, albeit a greedy one with a split personality disorder…

With that being said, one could say that I was finally ready to enter into the gateless dark hanging in the air and finally see what the second floor contained!

Stepping into it actually only transported me to a small space as big as a bedroom with no nauseating dizziness to speak of, there was a table just before me with too crystals resting on it, one pitch black, the other green, with words engraved on the table, incomprehensible words similar to that formed by the flame of the last gate, the only difference was that it didn't change into comprehensible ones this time.

"Hey…"

[Alright, I know, let me take a look first… ]

Thankfully, I had an invisible lizard to translate for me! Err, I mean I had Long who was lying lazily on my shoulder while using his 'Illusion' to turn himself invisible.

[It goes as something like this 'crush the green crystal to leave this place before it's too late, or crush the black one to move forward. However, beware! once you go forward it won't be as easy to leave when in danger…']

"Oh, that sounds like pretty much what you said, is this green crystal supposed to be the hard way out of here?"

[Yeah, once you crush the black crystal you would be transported to the second gate, as for the green crystal, it would also turn black once you crush the black, the only way to turn it back into green again would be either to supply it with a certain amount of elemental crystals or to destroy the special form of a 'Corruption Core' contained within the second 'floor']

"I see."

Screch!

I immediately crushed the black crystal, the repeated stages of choices looked as if they wouldn't end until I gave up on moving to the next floor, but I had already made my choice, so there was no need to continue hesitating!

Swoosh!

Accelerated space transmission took place once again, only at a higher intensity…

[ 'Mental Immunity' has leveled up! ]

[ 'Space-disorder Immunity' has leveled up! ]

[ 'Faint Immunity' Proficiency +66%! ]

Of course, thanks to the work of 3 combined 'Immunities' the pain was lowered to a minimum that I could easily handle, moving in the dark with nothing to behold like most sci-fi movies mentioned, I could only wait for the space train to deliver me to my destination…

`~~`~~`~~`

15 minutes later…

The space train has finally dropped me off, but…

'Really'

It literally dropped me off!

The entity who created these gates was truly magnificent at choosing arriving locations, especially making this gate's exit up in the fresh air…

So, I was here falling in the air almost for a few seconds now, and could already see the lovely ground, ready to crash…

Scrachhh!

I did try to use my 'Telekinesis' to lighten my crash slightly and remove some of the impact's strength, but thanks to my current muscle density, my body which looked like it weighed 70 Kg was almost double that amount, making the force of 10+ Kg incapable of creating a major difference.

Luckily, I did have the new 'Unbound Vitality' and 'Immunity', so I was able to climb out of the crater with almost no pain nor injuries, albeit with my disguise outfit being ruined.

'Luckily, I did make several sets…'

Changing clothes in the speed of light, was actually one of the things the ring excelled on, storing away the clothes I was wearing at the same time of transporting the one inside it to my body, all using the fancy space element ability of the ring.

Of course, such precise control wasn't easy, it was only when I raised my Wisdom up to 20 points that I started to find that the ring could be used more versatile ways as my mental energy grew, as it proved the worth of the ring that I bought using the majority of my points!

"What happened just now? what was that?!"

"Something crashed there!"

"Wait! I can see someone coming out from the crashing point!"

"Hey! You! State your identity or d…"

I could see 5 giant humanoids, two meters tall, with dark violet skin, long curved horns, holding great spears, they looked like they pretty much had the intent to kill and almost began handing out threats but they seemed to have noticed my horns.

[ 'Demon Guard' lv.140 ]

[ 'Demon Guard Commander' lv.155 ]

[ 'Demon Guard' lv.144 ]

[ ... ]

"Ah! He is one of us?"

"But why does he look so short and skinny?"

I wasn't really as short as he was making me out to be, asI had an approximate height of 180 cm, and although I wasn't buffed up like weight-lifters due to the condensation of my muscles, I couldn't be described as skinny if looked at with human eyes…

Of course, since they didn't have human eyes to begin with, I wasn't as stupid to argue with the first demons I saw at the beginning of my trial disguise, so I just stood still and waited for them to have their own assumptions.

"Oh, oh, I know! He has the aura of a recently demonified subject, he is probably one of these so called 'candidates'!"

"Yeah, he does have that smoggy aura that's a bit familiar to ours!"

"Can you speak? Or are you mute as well?"

"Cough, cough, pardon my late introduction, I'm indeed one of the 'Candidates', due to unfortunate circumstances, I was forced into this base."

"Hmmm, that seems alright, we had one like you before, but yeah he is dead now, I guess I would have to report to the overseer."

"I guess we can, but what if we just finished this here, nobody would care anyway…"

The five demons exchanged looks as they looked back at me with killing intent, not hidden one, but one that was basically saying 'We will kill you'...

I, of course, expected such behaviour, after all, their killing intent from the beginning didn't vanish from the beginning, it was only intensified at this point, this was a demon base after all, to them, I basically looked like a leech who was trying to enter their ranks to get some of their glory, such an entity was bound to be despised by the simpletons of the community.

So, I planned to elaborate to them how wrong they were!
