"Ah...you're here. I thought you will never co."
"Well, I got held back by sothing, my bad. I wasn't expecting you to wait for actually..." Vendrick replied as he walked in a brisk pace.
"Oh I know. But I was excited to et you.."
"...that so? Why?" Vendrick asked.
"You look...delicious." said that disembodied voice.
"...sure, that's not creepy or whatever..." He replied sarcastically.
Vendrick arrived at the Central Continent...well, its more like an island really.
Searching for this area would've been harder if it weren't for the fact that Vendrick got considerably stronger than before. The island is isolated naturally for reasons being that it's the land of God. Not just anyone was allowed in here.
This land is dark. The soil is dead and infected with death and decay. Dark clouds lood over the entire land which didn't show any signs of going away. There is a massive gaping hole at the center of the island.
From a simple glance, one would feel chills to their soul gazing upon that seemingly bottomless hole. It seems like the entrance to hell actually. It is pitch black down there, not a trace of light was allowed to pass, sound included. That being said, the disembodied voice was coming from down there. And this voice belonged to the one who's dwelling at the bottom of this thing.
"You know..." Vendrick mused, "You're not really a good host. I an, I graced you my presence and shit. You know that I'm coming, yet you're not even showing your face to . Co on, show a little sincerity will you? You're making feel unwelcod."
"My, do forgive for that." The disembodied voice replied, its tone was morbid and venomous. "I am rather...incapable, of getting out there to et you personally. Believe , I would love to welco you personally if I could. But I just can't."
"The entrance is open though." The voice continued, "I may not be able to get out there but I at least am able to open the door for you. Do co in, I have food and beverage ready for you."
'It can't get out. It's trapped? I didn't know that...well whatever.'
"Sounds good. Pardon my intrusion then." Vendrick shrugged and unhesitatingly jumped down to the abyss.
The mont he took the leap of faith, he could feel the darkness encroaching upon him, trying to swallow him whole. He could hear the whispers that tried to seduced him, luring him to fall into madness. Unfortunately, Vendrick's will is too firm for any of that to work so it was rendered useless.
Vendrick was falling for quite soti. Thanks to the darkness surrounding him, he had no awareness of how deep this put fall truly was. His senses were dulled greatly the deeper he fell, but even if this was the case, Vendrick was confident.
*Boom!!*
After falling for nearly half and hour, Vendrick finally landed. His fall caused quite a commotion but the sound was drowned by the darkness.
"Ah! My precious visitor. Welco to my humble abode." The voice was louder this ti, the sound was grating and more terrifying. Anyone who hears it will feel like they're being delusional and disoriented.
Vendrick remained unfazed, he had experienced worst so little tricks like this doesn't have any effect on him.
"Man, its damn dark in here." Vendrick comnted as he looked around curiously. "I can't shit in here. How can live in this damn place? Say, do you have any light source or sothing? I could really use so right about now."
"Ah, sorry. I didn't think about that. Silly , haha." The voice replied, "Let's see...a light source huh. Where did I put it...aha! Here it is!!"
*Boom!!!*
*Bzzt!*
"Did you just throw sothing at ?" Vendrick tilted his head as he looked at a specific direction, his body was surrounded with lightning which also served as a little bit of illumination around him.
Although his surroundings were still too dark even with the illumination of lightning, the bloodlust of whatever's down here was too dense for Vendrick to simply ignore.
"Oh, no dear. I certainly didn't." The voice said in a pitched voice. It was obviously lying. At this point, both of them were just mocking each other with this kind of conversation. "Ah, but you appeared to be...sparkling. Just like the star that you are...do you still really need a light source?"
"You're right. I nearly forgot I could do this." Vendrick muttered, "Thanks for reminding . Yeah, I think I can manage. After all, I got sothing like this."
*Fwoosh!!*
Just then, a ring of crimson colored flas erupted from Vendrick. The flas carried imnse heat and extre destructive nature. Vendrick also laced if with Lightning and Thunder which slithered around.
The combination of the Infernal Flas and Lightning Tribulation cleansed the murky darkness within his surroundings. Vendrick allowed the lightning and flas to cover as much ground. They provided enough visibility for him see his surroundings. He also felt that he struck the creature down here.
From the way it screeched, it would seem that it got hit pretty bad.
"Oh my." Vendrick feigned worry. "I'm sorry. Did I hit you? I got a little too careless with that."
"...n-not really. I'm good. I managed to avoid it in the nick of ti." The voice replied.
'Oh? Its facade is breaking. I should give it another push.' Vendrick thought to himself.
The spear appeared on Vendrick's hand. He stabbed the tip on the ground and all of a sudden, geysers of flas erupted everywhere. He's not done though. After creating nurous fla geysers, he pointed the spear above and lightning suddenly struck down. He still managed to attract lightning from the skies even though he's in the abyss.
The two equally destructive elents caused havoc in their surroundings. Vendrick smirked as he could hear the scuttling sound of sothing trying to evade the mass destruction he's causing.
With all the commotion happening here, the visibility was recovering. Vendrick could make out the silhouette of this so-called God. Although not as clear as he would like to, its enough.
"Hmm, I don't think this is bright enough. It's still difficult to make out the intricacies of your beautiful ho, my friend. Mn!! More, we need more light!!" Vendrick yelped. "What do you think, buddy? We need more light yeah?"
"...krgh!!"
"Hmm? Hey buddy are you okay!? Are you hurt!? Are you in pain!? Answer ! Ah! I can't hear you. Aha!! Wait, let get so more light so that I can see you properly! Hold on okay!?"
*Boom!!* *Bzzt!!* *Boom!*
More fla geysers, more lightning bolts. The sound of thunder echoed in the abyss, earth shattered, lightning streaked and the flas lted the rocks, creating lava. The suffocating fus did nothing to stop Vendrick's madness as he laid waste on his surroundings.
He didn't target any specific spots...well, he kinda did but he made it look like he wasn't. Of course, he's doing this on purpose. He wanted to shatter this god's facade. He's rely showing this creature that he can play this ga better.
Vendrick could hear the pained screams of the god. As the abyss lit up ever so slowly, he could see more of what thus creature looked like.
Well, it was disgusting.
It looked like a large emaciated hound. One could almost see so of its bones poking out of its skin, its as if it hadn't eaten anything since birth. It has mane on its neck like that of a lions and it's tail is connected to the darkness around them. He could even say that this darkness was its tail.
The eyes of the beast glowed with crimson colored light. It was drooling acid, it has sharp claws and unbelievably swift as it jumped around to avoid the chaos Vendrick brought to its ho.
It might look like the hound was busy evading everything that Vendrick caused but in truth, it was so swift that it tried several tis to tear him to pieces, only failing due to the Tribulation Lightning that's coursing through Vendrick's body.
Vendrick also saw so shackles on it's limbs. They appeared to be made out of iron but Vendrick wasn't convinced, as if a creature like this can't shatter so re iron shackles.
The shackles are connected to chains and from what he observed so far, the chains are embedded on the walls of the abyss, it pinned the creature down, preventing it from escaping this deep abyss.
Thanks to the bolts of lightning and flas, the hound was injured. It felt a seeping pain penetrating its flesh that just won't go away.
Muffled groans and pitiful whines escaped from the hound but its fury was palpable. Its tail of darkness was fighting back against the foreign forces but Vendrick showed no signs of letting-up. It's as if he has an unending supply of lightning and flas and he's certainly not shy to keep it to himself.
"Oh! Is that you, Buddy!? Man, you look horrible! Damn! Food and drinks you say? You know what, forget it, I'm good. I think you'll be needing those more than I do." Vendrick smirked as he mocked the beast directly.
"Damn you!!"
