Chapter 235: Neputin and Gruen
[The World of Neputin]
[One Dimensional Leap Away From Earth.]
After crossing through the Dimensional Tear, Jason thought he would arrive on dry land, and he had already angled his body in a way that would allow him to land properly, but he was shocked when he swam out of the Dimensional Tear and appeared in another body of water.
[The user has arrived in the Aquatic World of Neputin. The location of the Next Dimensional Tear is [1000] miles North-West of the user’s current location.]
Jason looked at the system notification and narrowed his eyes before he turned away to look around. The water didn’t seem any different in this world than it did on Earth, but Jason could feel a lot more pressure on him compared to when he had been in the Delaware Bay, and he also couldn’t see that far away. This meant that Jason was a lot deeper underwater than before. The system said this was an Aquatic world, so Jason wouldn’t be surprised if he was thousands of miles underwater.
’I need to get out of here quickly. I can’t see too far and I don’t know what sort of monsters are in here? System, what is the Rank of this world?’
Jason sent a message to the system and the system responded that Neputin was a ’Rank III’ world. Jason cursed as he quickly called on the Swamp Viper once more! Earth was only a Rank II because they only discovered mana a few years ago and their strongest being was around SS Rank, so this world being Rank III meant that mana had been a part of it for hundreds of years and they had multiple beings higher than SS Rank! Jason couldn’t stay in one place too long!
’Give me directions!’
Jason commanded the system, and he saw the notification pointing an arrow in the right direction for him to move. Jason told the Swamp Viper to begin going and it quickly swam off in that direction! The journey was silent and almost peaceful, and it continued in this way for the next ten minutes. They were moving at a very fast pace, so Jason knew that they would be at the next Dimensional Tear soon, but for some reason, Jason couldn’t get rid of the feeling that there was something watching him.
The ocean was dark, and even with his [Predator’s Gaze], Jason could barely see more than two hundred meters in front of him. The silence of the ocean was nearly deafening, and Jason could feel adrenaline rushing through his body as it prepared itself for any sudden situation!
’I haven’t seen any monsters since I started moving. There are only two reasons why an area with this much mana won’t have any monsters. Either this world is too large and the monsters are just too far away... or I’m in the territory of a beast—’
Blink!
Jason’s body suddenly tensed as his thoughts were cut short! He turned to the side sharply as he saw a giant light blink in and out of existence and Jason’s eyes widened in shock as the light opened once again, and a giant black iris turned to look directly at him! That was not a fucking light! That was an eyeball!
"Fuck!"
The mana in the area suddenly shot up to astronomical levels as the darkness of the ocean began to move and Jason commanded the Swamp Viper to speed up immediately! The Swamp Viper began to swim like its life depended on it and Jason took a chance to look behind him and see what was there!
BWOOOMM!!
It was a monster unlike anything Jason had ever seen in his life. Its entire body was covered by the darkness of the ocean, so Jason couldn’t tell just how long it was, but the part of its head that were exposed by the [Predator’s Gaze] was terrifying enough to make a lesser man die on the spot! It had a circular head with wrinkles that made it look like a giant catfish, but its size was so impossible that Jason and the Swamp Viper looked like toothpicks in front of it! The monster opened its mouth and Jason cursed when he saw a deep, cavernous darkness staring back at him from behind jagged teeth!
Jason knew he didn’t have a fear of giant sea monsters like most people did, but even the most fearless person would feel uncomfortable staring into that creature’s mouth — it was like a black hole trying to suck you into the void!
From the black hole of the creature’s mouth, multiple long appendages flew out and began to head towards Jason! The appendages were pink and long like tongues, but each of them had multiple rows of teeth at their ends and they clicked their teeth together like piranhas that had just smelled blood! Jason immediately called on his Legion, and more than two hundred of his Pawns appeared from his alternate dimension and charged towards the incoming tongues! Jason knew that the Pawns wouldn’t stand a chance against the monsters! In fact, only Ragnar and Raya might put up a good fight at all! But Jason wasn’t trying to kill the beast! He was trying to get the fuck away from it!
Jason looked to the side to see his system notification, and he felt a smile spread on his face when he saw a new message.
[The user has arrived at the designated position. Releasing a significant amount of mana [>5000 Magicules] here will open the Dimensional Tear.]
Jason immediately unleashed close to six thousand units of mana at the same time that the monster behind him released another low, rumbling roar! The space in front of Jason began to crack as a new Dimensional Tear appeared and the monsters seemed to realize what was happening as it sped up! Its large, cavernous mouth began to gather all of the Subordinates that had been fighting against its appendages like a whale gathering sardines into its mouth, and the moment it felt it was close enough, it slammed its mouth shut around Jason and his subordinates!
BOOM!
The sound was like a nuclear bomb and massive shock waves travelled across the world of Neputin as the beast unleashed another loud roar.
BWOOOOMM!!!
...
[The World of Greun]
[Two Dimensional Leaps Away From Earth]
A long crack tore through the air in the sandy plains of Greun and Jason released a grunt as he and his Swamp Viper tumbled out and landed on the desert floor. Jason turned around to lay flat on his back and he squinted up at the three suns in the sky while releasing a tired sigh. The Swamp Viper moved around uncomfortably on the sand, and Jason could tell that it was not used to such arid environments. Jason sent it back into his Alternate dimension, and it released a thankful hiss as it vanished. Jason then sat up calmly and looked around.
[The user has arrived on the Arid World of Greun. The location of the final Dimensional Tear is 10 miles East of the user’s current location.]
"Ten miles. That shouldn’t take long. Ragnar should be able to get here in less than five minutes. System, what is the rank of this world?"
Jason asked this question while getting off the floor and dusting himself off. He already dreaded hearing another ’Rank III’, but he released a sigh of relief when the system sent back that this was only a ’Rank II’ world. Jason had no intention of running into another monster like the last one.
