Chapter 106 Preparations
Chapter 106 Preparations
In front of me was a huge eye that was bigger than me, which was directly looking at me without blinking. Though it didn't have any eyelids to blink, so it was to be expected.
My intuition wasn't warning me like usual but I knew that I fucked up as I was seeing the eye of a mana titan.
I didn't know the exact looks of the mana titan as all I could see was the area of its eye, which was covered with abyss dark fur.
The strange thing was that it didn't react to my presence at all, despite me being right in front of it.
'Is this mana titan sleeping with its eyes open because it doesn't have eyelids to close it?' I thought and assumed it was like this.
'So, should I go back to the depths of the cave and wait for it to go somewhere else, or should I stab its eye while I have the chance?'
I didn't immediately stab its eye as I didn't know the strength of this mana titan. I didn't want to do something stupid as attacking the eye of a high rank mana titan because it wouldn't work as even the eyes of the high rank mana titans are harder than steel.
That is why I decided to measure its toughness and rank with my aura, not with my mana because mana fiends were sensitive to mana but not aura.
Though I still took a few steps back in case the mana titan woke up for some reason.
My cold, indifferent aura thinned and became like a thread, then it slowly touched the dark eye of the mana titan. After that, my aura slowly penetrated the natural aura of the mana titan, and began to collect information from it.
Which was easier than I thought, because I expected that mana titan would wake up from its sleep or my aura sense wouldn't work at all.
Fortunately, these things didn't happen and I was able to learn what I wanted.
This mana titan's mana quality was around [C] rank and mana quantity was around [SS] rank or higher because the mana inside of the mana titan was too much for me to determine its rank.
Well, this amount of mana was probably considered normal as their body was huge and in return their mana quantity too was huge.
Apart from its mana quality and quantity, its skin was several times tougher than the skin of the werewolf that I killed.
So it was impossible for me to injure it with normal means but fortunately, its eyes were weaker than the rest of its body like everyone living being.
Why I was thinking of injuring a goddamn huge scary bastard?
Well, it was actually pretty simple, because mana titans were like that of the dragons in the stories. They sleep a lot like years, without moving an inch, like a rock.
And I didn't want to stay in this damp cave for a minimum of some years. I would just kill myself instead of enduring something like that.
Hence, I was thinking of injuring it and hiding in the cave until it go away. Though this needed some preparations and full mana reserves and a healthy body.
That is why, I went back to the cave and took 24 hours of sleep.
Then I went back to the 2 abomination cubs of the snake and werewolf. Which they were still sleeping in the same position.
'Are these abominations too sleep longer than humans?' I thought and nodded my head.
'Well, I learned something useless again. Anyway, I should kill both of them and take their acid to use against the mana titan.' I thought and crushed their heads without any hesitation.
They were useless abominations other than being acid sources for me. So I didn't think for a second more to not kill them.
After that, I collected the blackish acid into a reinforced container and stored their corpses in my subspace.
The abominations were unique creatures, so I thought of selling them to a collector or scholar to gain some money or favor from a person of high status.
Next, I cut my wrists and stored my blood in the glass tubes, then I rested for some time and repeated the process.
My mana was in my blood, which meant that my blood was storing my mana. So I used this fact to make some cannibalistic mana potions for myself.
Then I made a blood dagger for 10 days to make it tougher and more special.
This blood dagger was huge, about my size and it had a tube in it that contained a huge amount of the acidic black liquid that I took from the abominations.
Well, these preparations lasted less than a month, around 20 days. But I was now ready to escape from this mana titan if something really bad happened.
I held the huge blood dagger with my arms as it was too huge and with a slow but steady steps I went to the entrance of the cave.
Then I stopped in front of the gigantic eye, which was still same as before and slowly, with a time, I poured mana into my arms.
I needed to slow and undetectable as possible to not wake up the mana titan, which was sensible to the movement of mana.
And after some minutes later, I felt my muscles began to tear because of the excessive mana I was pouring and this was the sign for me to stab the huge blood dagger that I was holding into the eye of the mana titan.
I lifted the shining red dagger into my shoulders and stabbed into the dark eye of the mana titan with an unnatural strength.
"Grooaaaa!"
The blood dagger penetrated the eye of the mana titan and released the acidic liquid to its inside.
The inside of the mana titan was soft and weak like every living creature, so it was to be expected to hear such a mad scream.
