Chapter 873 - Visiting The Garden Again
Thud!
I landed on the Hill of the Garden and scanned around with my senses; I did not want anyone to notice me coming here. After a few minutes, I felt sure that no one was around and moved down toward the cave.
The vines around the entrance had grown even thicker in the past month, and if one takes a look at it, they will find nothing different here. I moved the vines away to get inside before arranging them back.
After I finished rearranging them, I started to move down in the coming with the speed that is neither slow nor fast at all. I wanted to go faster, but I control myself, even if they’re no danger here, it does not hurt to be cautious.
Shar!
Fifteen minutes later, I saw the entrance of the Cave, and about to take a step inside it when suddenly, I saw a two-meter long, long Obsidian Snake coming at me, it had opened its mount whole as if it wanted to gobble me up.
I was quite surprised to see it attacking me, but I controlled myself immediately and whipped my sword at the Obsidian Snake that had come at me.
Clang!
A clanging sound rang out as my sword hit against the snake, and my whole body shook while the snake also flew back, one meter, and looked at me with hatred as if I had entered its sacred territory.
This Snake is very powerful; it is Peak Nine Star Golden Elite with a very high natural defense, which seemed to be reinforced further by the environment of the cave.
I am quite surprised to see the Monster here. If it had been Grimm Monsters in its place, I wouldn’t have been surprised, but the presence of this Obsidian Snake made me quite surprised.
In the Grimm Battlefield, the presence of Monsters is very low; one could say they are nonexistent. The Grimm Monsters seemed to have a hate-love relationship with the monsters; they seemed to see their dumb selves in monsters.
So whenever they see Monsters, they will kill it and gobble it up due to those monsters in the Grimm Battlefield having been nearly exterminated.
Shar!
It started at me for a second before it came at me again; this time, its speed is even greater, and its teeth have become even darker; this means I have to be careful of its teeth.
Obsidian Snake is a type of Snake Monster that did not release its poison outward, its fangs had to touch the prey to release, and I do not want its fangs to touch me.
The poison of Obsidian Snake had the petrifying ability, though I will not turn into the stone with my current power; I will still become immobile by it for a few seconds, which is enough for it to gobble me up the whole.
I let the Obsidian Snake come very close to me before I swung my sword, as my sword moved toward it, it lit up with a bright red glow.
My earlier attack, I had not used the enchantment of the sword as I wanted to see how powerful it had grown in this environment and now I did, there is no reason for it to be alive.
SLICE!
It seemed to sense the threat from the Sword as the bloody red glow covered its edges. It had tried to change its direction, but unfortunately, it had become too late for it as my sword touched its obsidian shell and started cutting through it as if it was cutting the cheese.
Thud Thud!
The two parts of the Obsidian Snakes’ body fell on the ground creating a huge thud. If I did not know about the presence of Gravity, I would have thought I had killed a larger monster than a two-meter long obsidian snake.
Step!
I put my sword back and took a step inside it’s cavern, and just as I did, I felt gravity on my body and also felt the pressure from the Mysterious Energy that is present in this cavern.
I crouch down and store the two pieces of Obsidian Snake in my storage. It must have entered this space a few days after I had left; this snake is just a Lieutenant Stage snake, but the power it showed far above a lieutenant stage Obsidian Snake should have.
The treasures of this Garden are miraculous that even a common monster could become a powerhouse by just staying here. As I got up, I saw Ashlyn already flying up from my shoulder and now eating the Emerald Kiwis with relish.
For some reason, Ashlyn did not seem to feel the pressure of this place, but she also could not eat anything she wanted.
She could only eat things that are within her power level; it means that she would not eat the fruits of those trees which are ahead of Emerald Kiwis.
’It would not be this easy for me.’ I thought as I walked forward, with every step, the pressure on me would increase, but with my current power, it is nothing, and soon, I reach the tree of Yellow Thorn Peaches.
Last time when I was here, I had to work damn hard to get here, but now I did not even sweat under such gravity and energy pressure, but that will end now, and as ahead of me, there is a whole new territory.
I took a deep breath before I took a step ahead and just as I did, I felt a sharp increase of the Gravity and pressure of the Mysterious energy had also increased, it increases so much that those below Three Star Golden Elite won’t be able to bear it.
Last time when I was here, I had tried taking a step and got my two nearly crushed, which was a very good lesson for me to remain cautious in this space as one wrong step could crush me into the pulp.
After the first step, I took another step, which again increased the pressure, but it is within my ability to bear it. So, I took another step and then another and then another until I finally stopped as I finally reached my limit.
Seeing I am reaching my limit, I took out my sword to aid from it bearing the pressure. Though it is cheating, I am under a time limit and could only spend two days here, so earlier I could get my hands on those Kiwis better.
THUD!
As I took my sword, it directly slammed on the ground making a huge noise, and when I looked down, I found it only went deeper two inches which was quite shocking as if it had been normal soil and my sword fell with such force, it would have completely gone inside it.
I had forgotten the Gravity here applied to things, but that was not the biggest surprise.
The biggest surprise I got is that boost that my sword gave me did not work here. I am wrong; the boost perfectly works here, it’s just that it did not affect Gravity and Energy pressure I am feeling.
So, if I want to move forward, I will have to do it with my own power, no external things could aid me in bearing the pressure.
