LONE: The Journey Beyond

Chapter 66: Overwhelmingly Powerful.

Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!

ROAAARRRRR-!

"!!!"

In the dungeon, Reven who was all alone looked in front of him.

Just 20m away from him the hoard of undead that was swarming the area stopped.

They were all expressionless without showing even a tinge of emotion. Looking exactly like mindless dead puppets that they were.

Just behind them the giant skeleton aka the Corpse Manipulator looked at Reven coldly.

Even in the midst of all the chaos Reven simply kept looking directly at the two blue flame will-o-wisps of the Corpse Manipulator.

There was an invisible tension between both the Corpse Manipulator and Reven which kept both of the at their position without even moving an inch from the 20m difference between the undead army and Reven.

Indeed!

That was the case.

Reven could clearly feel that the Corpse Manipulator was way out of his league to compete against.

'I can't act first here because I will simply die even without a proper fight in a full blown confrontation. Let's just continue waiting and see what he does.

Plus, the longer we wait the better for me to analyse the data regarding the dungeon.'

Reven thought as he processed the data that the 'Empress' had gathered till now. His [Sage] skill helped accelerating the process too.

He was doing trillions of calculations per second, a benefit of being a Meta-Human. His brain was on par with high tech Quantum & Super Computers.

As for the Corpse Manipulator, he kept feeling an invisible premonition that one wrong move from him and this entire situation will reverse. And he would be at a disadvantage then.

.

.

.

They kept observing each other for quite some time.

Finally, unable to keep his calm anymore…

"KILL!"

The Corpse Manipulator hissed as the undead army finally crossed the 20m mark.

And the moment they did…

Bang! Bang! Bang!...

*Boom**Boom**Boom**Boom**Boom*

PAT…PAT…PAT…PAT...

KABOOOOMMM!!!

They all were directly blown apart. The frontal attackers and tanks were directly reduced to dust by being cut and sliced into thousands of pieces in a mere second.

This was the result of Reven's [Vector Expansion] at full potential!

Of course, he was able to attain such insane levels of perfection because of the enlightenment he gained on Quark Vibration aspect.

This not only enhanced his attacks but also made his innate ability [Enhanced Physique] stronger.

Still, the number of undead were way too much for even Reven to fight against.

Reven took a fighting stance as he coldly looked at the Corpse Manipulator behind the hoard which was just 10m away from him now and…

…

Ran in the opposite direction with everything he had!

"!!!"

The stunned Corpse Manipulator couldn't help but pause for a moment unable to compute what just happened.

The puny human whom he thought was danger ran away!

He literally RAN AWAY!

The Corpse Manipulator couldn't believe what he was seeing right now.

"You!!! Puny human, how dare you run away from this lord?!" He roared.

Reven paid no heed to his roars and ran away from the inner regions.

'There is no way I am fighting you directly bit*h! I don't have any intentions of dying.' Reven thought.

How could he fight against such an overwhelmingly powerful foe?!

He was not some dickhead MC who had the glans of his penis in the place of his brains to even think about fighting it.

"[Corpse Skeleton Requiem]" The Corpse Manipulator shouted a new spell.

The entirety of the inner region had now turned to a graveyard as hundreds of thousands of skeleton started to rise from the cracked ground.

"Shit! I need to run from here faster."

Reven accelerated his speed and quickly got out of from the area.

HOWL! HOWL! HOWL!...

The undead skeletons followed him from everywhere, some of them even came in front of him only to be destroyed by his fists.

"[Corruption]"

The Corpse Manipulator used another spell and bolts of black thunder emerged from the sky above Reven and shot towards him from different direction.

Zoop! Bang-! Bang-!

BANG!

Bleugh!

Cough! Cough!

"Damn it. These spells are really a pain in the ass. *Cough* *Cough* *Cough*"

Reven tried to dodge as many as he could but the attack was coming from all directions so it was nearly impossible for him to be totally unscathed.

And indeed!

He was hit with multiple attacks.

'My wounds are not healing?!'

[Regeneration ability is being supressed.]

[Perfect Compatibility ability and Immunity are activated and are checking on the body status.]

[Sage skill is initiated.]

[Processing the data…]

[Not enough data to proceed…]

'Dammit!'

[Mutations of the ability Immunity is accelerating.]

'Wait! This didn't I got mutations in this ability when I was injected with that liquid.'

[Mutations in progress…]

'It will take more time. But maybe I will be able to heal my body later. For now, let's run and find somewhere to hide.'

Reven thought as he ran straight into the pathways which led into the inner region. From now on it was entirely a maze.

HOWL!!!

The undead monsters flooded the entire pathways.

The only positive thing was that since the dungeons was a maze so it would take more time for them to locate him but he knew with their numbers it was a matter of time.

-----

"Huff… Huff… Huff…"

In the dim cave, Reven could be seen huffing and trying to take control of his breaths.

It was the same pathway which Reven and his group abandoned –the one they first took after they came across the separating pathways from the main cave through which they entered the dungeon.

The group hadn't completely checked this pathway because they had to change it mid-way due to the howl they heard.

Right now, this was the best place for Reven as it was one of the few places which had yet to be found out by the monsters.

'Dunno how many days had been passed. Empress do you have any idea if you count through my personal time zone*.'

[It has been 8 days and 21 hours.]

"I see. Been quite long."

Reven had been constantly fighting, running and hiding for the past days. It had been a journey of constant strain to even reach here.

"Give me the details of the areas infested by them and the position of that motherfu*ker."

[Command Accepted.]

With that a large map of the entire dungeon opened in front of him in a hologram and marked the position infested by the undead in red.

"This… Isn't this a bit too exaggerated."

To say the least, Reven was shocked. Almost entirety of the dungeon was marked with red.

Only the outer most zone, the place they had been dropped when they entered was yet to be infested.

"So I do not have any other way to go inside this pathway huh!" Reven mumbled as he looked at the pitch black passage in front of him.

This was one of the only few places that Reven was unable to know even after having the complete dungeon analysis so he was a bit reluctant.

"A cliff in front while a pit behind… khuh!"

He couldn't help but murmur.

'Empress show me the changes that happened in me.'

[Immunity has completely mutated.]

[Description- The said ability can now deal with Ardor infested wounds and diseases, plagues, virus, pathogens, bacteria and others.]

[Would you like to rename it?]

"Name it [Ultra-Immunity]."

[Immunity has been renamed into Ultra-Immunity.]

[Enhanced Physique has been upgraded to Perfect Physique]

[Your body is forming a Harmony between Perfect Physique and Perfect Compatibility.]

[They are trying to fuse.]

…

[Failed.]

[A catalyst is needed.]

"…the Hell?!"

* What he means here is that 1 second in the dungeon with respect to himself.
