When Aldrich stepped through the wooden gates into the Realm of Monsters, the air temperature changed,It was more dense and hot, burning.The sky was completely red in color,It was not the usual way skies would be.The wind blew normally, but it was harsh,Aldrich’s skin could feel the wind drying on him.
He stretched out his palm, looking at it, and said, "This temperature and everything about this place feels real bad, and it affects my body."
While he said this, sothing was off and From afar, a loud roar exploded,It was the sound of the Devouring Molten Beast.
Aldrich, who heard the noise, imdiately turned left and right to take notice of the sound, but he couldn’t figure out where it ca from,The next thing Aldrich noticed was that above him were 5 pieces of a floating, spherical beast forged from black volcanic rock that glows with molten veins of fire. Its entire body looked like a cracked teor, with fissures that pulse like a beating heart of lava. A wide, jagged mouth stretched across most of its face, filled with stone like fangs that drip molten saliva.
They were the Devouring Molten Beasts.
Imdiately from above him, five shots of hot burning balls of lava shot from their mouths, falling down upon Aldrich and They were fast.
It was Aldrich’s first ti seeing things like this, and he was terrified. He didn’t know what or how to react,But he knew he couldn’t let that get to him if not, he’s going to be a roasted chicken.
His system imdiately popped up and showcased a notification.
[System Alert: Devouring Molten Beast Lava Burst Detected]
[Library Activation: Danger Detection Enabled]
[Weapon Upgrade: IceKing Breaker Sword enhanced And Active]
[Mission Objective: Survive/Destroy Devouring Molten Beasts]
Aldrich was like, "Huh? What do you an by that?" But then the sword in his hands imdiately changed its form as the body was burning with ice on it.
But while he was amazed by the new developnt on his sword, the lava had already approached Aldrich at close range,But his senses instantly sensed it, and his body automatically reacted,He swiftly moved towards the left side it was like an instant teleportation.
The lava hit the ground and instantly lted it away.
Aldrich was stunned. "Did my body move on its own?"
But there was no ti for that, Another lava ball was already closer to him than the other one. He could feel the heat and pressure from it against his body,And again, Aldrich detected the danger and vanished again and again and again until he automatically dodged all five of the lava ball hits.
[System Note: Library Art: Danger Detection Used]
[System Bonus: mory Recovery - Sword Martial Arts Unlocked]
[System Alert: IceKing Breaker Sword Ready]
Aldrich by this ti began to understand what the system was doing to his body. He knew that with Danger Detection, he could detect danger close to him and enable him to escape before it hits.
"I see, so that’s how this works? aning I can fight without having any trouble? But still, I need to be careful."
He grabbed the sword tightly and BOOM, he moved towards the floating Devouring Beasts,He was fast, faster than his has ever been.
But as he moved, the ground beneath him opened at so point , and a Devouring Molten Beast’s mouth opened, aiming to swallow and devour Aldrich from beneath him. But he detected it quickly and swiftly swung his blade downwards. The IceKing Sword released an enormous amount of ice wave that instantly froze the Molten Beast, and it scattered into fragnts of ice.
Aldrich landed at a safe spot,But the fight wasn’t over.
From above, the Devouring Beasts roared and imdiately entered a rapid firing state, sending down multiple lava fireballs all at once without holding back. Their aim was simple to kill Aldrich’s soul.
But his Danger Detection kicked in once again, and Aldrich moved like lightning, dodging one after another using his Danger Detection ability to evade each shot,he ducked,he leaped,twisted avoiding each with ease.
But while he dodged the last one, the system appeared again and indicated that Aldrich had reached its maximum limit for using Danger Detection skill.
[System Warning: Danger Detection Skill Limit Reached (6/7)]
[System Notice: Remaining Usage 1 Activation]
[System Notice: Recharge Required After Limit]
Aldrich imdiately saw this and realized he could die quickly without that skill. He also noted the difficulty of fighting from ground level while his attackers were above.
He thought to himself, "I need a wide range attack to slay these beasts."
So he ran forward again, but this ti circling around. "I need to be smart." Aldrich said
As he moved, the beasts also followed his steps, firing rapidly once again, forcing Aldrich and limiting his options to fight,He halted and quickly tried switching positions. He dodged the first lava ball, but he didn’t do it completely. His right hand touched part of the lava ball attack, and he got burnt instantly. But it wasn’t so much damage, He could still proceed despite the pain that surged through his body.
Another lava ball was approaching him which had already closed in on him while, and so he imdiately used the Danger Detection ability to escape ,But this ti, he did it differently. He dodged the attack, but he repositioned himself at the center on ground level of where the five monsters above circled.
He grabbed the IceKing Sword and pinned it into the ground.
[System Command: Library Sword Art Sea of Ice Tree Activated]
[Host Granted Full Access To Technique]
[Energy Cost: High Essence Expended]
[Execution: In Progress]
From below, multiple solid ice walls exploded upwards, piercing and freezing each and every Devouring Molten Beast that was above him,One by one, the Devouring Molten Beasts were impaled and frozen mid air,Their lava cracked and shattered as the cold surged through them Within seconds, all five burst into icy fragnts and scattered into ash.
Aldrich dropped to his kneels on the ground it was over but then the images started ,A flash of mory not his own,Soone else’s hands holding this very blade it was Another life,A different battlefield, Movents, thoughts, feelings mories Aldrich had never lived.
He stared at his hands, shaking.
"What did I just see...?" he whispered. "How did I do that?"
His eyes narrowed. "Who... am I?"
He didn’t know it yet but this body wasn’t entirely his,And the sword he held once belonged to soone far stronger,Aldrich had seen a mory of the original owner of this body, and he’s yet to find out he inhabited another person’s body in this world.
