Rebirth: A Cat with a System

Chapter 60 Mist Abomination!

60  Mist Abomination!

As I got closer to it, I glanced at the hole in my head where my eyes used to be, but all I could see was my molten brain. I could tell that those shards of light were lethal, but now that I look at it, I realise that just one look at it would be enough to scare anyone.

I drew nearer to my body in order to inspect it, and when I did so, I was able to confirm that there was not a mana core located within my body.

Why is there no mana core in my body Star?

[your mana core would go where ever your soul goes.] he answered,

I see so teats how it is, if I die my mana core would vanish with me huh? I asked

[yes, your core holds a lot of divine power that the goddess used while in creating the system]

Divine power you say? Can I wield it

[no your body will explode and your soul will parish as soon as you touch even a drop of it, however you may be able to do it if you get stronger]

I see, I said as I used my claws to take the fur, teeth, claws off my body and leaving it as only a body full of muscles,

Can my body rot? I asked

[it can if you want it to,]

Then let my dead body rot and go back to Mother nature.

[Command affirmative: deactivating Immorality form the body]

[10%]

[50%]

[100%]

[task complete]

After allowing the corpse to rot, I made my way to the location where the slime had been in the past. There was simply a crater in the location where the slime had been, and as I got closer to the location, I could see that the crater had a hole at the very bottom of it.

Is this where the slime came form?

As I jumped down and then striated towards the hole.

As I got closer to it, I could see that it appeared to have been made by melting the ground, and now that I was closer to it, I could also tell that this wasn't a hole but rather a tunnel of some sort that led somewhere else.

If I keep going in that direction, will I eventually reach the place from which the slime probably came? I asked myself as I carefully jumped into the tunnel, which appeared to be constructed by melting the ground the tunnel's walls were pitch black, as if lave had gone through the entire location.

Star scan the gourd around us, see if you can find any traces of the energy that you had found in the mutated animals.

[roger that]

I continued travelling, the tunnel was in the shape of a zigzag, and as I glanced at it, I could see that it was going down however, how much it would go down is something that only gods know.

As I continued down the dark tunnel, which I could navigate as clearly as if it were daytime, I eventually came to a fork in the road where there were two possible directions to go one to the right and one to the left.

Which way to do?

Should I chose right or should I chose to go to the left.

[scan had seen completed]

[the energy signature is coming form both sides however the left side has a recent imprint]

I see, then left it is.

As I made my way slowly through the tunnel, which appeared to be growing larger with each step, I found myself wondering where I was going and how the slime that had formed this structure could possibly be extending farther.

When I finally reached a region that was so vast that an creature of my own size might have walked beside me,

As I looked around, I noticed some noises, and I had heard this noises before, It was the noise of a slime moving, The temperature of the area was getting hotter and hotter, or was it just me, I wondered, but I kept going, as I kept walking, the sound of something sizzling came , and soon I knew where it came from, it was another slime, but it was different from the last one I had seen, it was a slime and it was not.

[it has the same energy signal]

I observed the slime and said, "I see," describing it as having the body of a wolf and the legs of some kind of spider. It had eight hairy legs that were sharp as blades, and it had many other features that stand out,  a tail with a sharp end, including about ten eyes, four ears, and five horns that appeared to be concealing a crown. Its body was completely black, and the black slime was wrapping around it as if it were some sort of snake .

With just a quick glance, I could see that it was attached to its body and that it was emerging from a significant chest wound.

Do I need to fight it? Should I continue to observe it, I thought to myself.

"Sigh" I let out a sigh, I had to observe it to what it was and what it was doing here so the choice was clear as day.

Nevertheless, as I turned to face it, my hair stood on end, the creature was staring directly at me, a kind of mist issuing from its mouth melting everything it touched.

I took a step back and covered my tails with the night trees' wood, but as soon as I did so, the creature dashed into me, moving so quickly that it left numerous sonic booms in its wake. What the fuck, how did it know I was here, I thought to myself.

What the—as soon as it came within striking distance, it bit me with its powerful jaw. I backed away and used my tails to slap it away.

I glanced briefly in the direction of the creature, which had a jaw as big as my entire body, as it fell on the ground, which it was melting with its mist. What the hell? How did its size change? I was curious because as it started to return to its original format, it appeared as if nothing had ever changed.

I summoned darkness magic to create some human-sized knives as the abomination started to run towards me, I figured that if I get near it I might as well push the reset button and start over.

It was moving as quickly as ever when I hurled two knives at it it managed to avoid the first one, but the second one hit it square in the chest.

Finally, as I observed it approach, I concluded that there was no possible way to avoid it.

The sound of something solid hitting metal was heard as the knife approached the abomination, and by the time it got there, the slime had spread enough to cover the abominations entire chest.

Ah, my luck, I thought as I threw the other knives in its direction. In a split second, all of them arrived, but they all missed their targets because the slime pushed them all to the side.

What the fuck is that slime? I thought as I used fire next, a spear composed of blue flames flew towards the abomination, but as if to tease me, it bent itself just a tiny bit, so the spear sailed by it without injuring it in the least.

A claw made of metal came rushing at me, but I blocked it out by making a puller of solid ground under me as the fire spear sped towards the cave wall and blasting it , lighting up the cave enough to temporarily blind someone.

"Boom"

The sound of a loud collision, which drowned out the background blast, emanated from the area where the ground and the claws collided.

The hardness of the ground made me wonder what it was made of , but I didn't have much time to consider it as a tail as sharp as a blade came rushing at me.

I dodged the tail before using my mana claws to chop it off, preventing it from being able to support itself any longer.

It instantly shrank its tail as if reading my mind, then massaged my back with its claws.

I felt some of my ribs breaking as I was launched smashing onto the cave wall. I gasped for air and swore under my breath, "Damn," as I stood back up to fight, but this time the monstrosity only stared at me as I stood up.

What is it thinking? I thought to myself as I waited for it to attack, but while I waited, it opened its mouth as if to speak, but there was no sound coming towards me. What did though made all of my hair stand on edge there was a white mist coming towards me, mealtime the ground even before it made impact.

'This is bad'
