YM778.TV Chapter 191: Boars
"So what was all that?" Lucian asked, his voice low.
[Continue on the path I depict. As for what happened earlier, the things you performed were a code that the secret members of the organization use.
These guards have no authority to see or question you, but when you gave back the paper slip, they were hesitant because of the danger over the 40th group.
That clap was kind of a warning for them, and since they weren\'t able to sense you, they were sure that you are one of the hidden members, so finally, they went away, or their lives might have been in danger.]"
Lucian read the text while following the way that Zero showed; soon, he sensed the presence of some people ahead, so he stopped and asked in his head:
\'So where do I need to go from here on?\'
Now he had arrived in an area that was almost like a floor in a building; there were only two ways forward, and both of them were heavily guarded.
[You will have to stick to the ceiling and move forward; the right path is closer to the Chasm, but it is heavily guarded, so we will move on the left path.]
Without saying anything, Lucian just looked up at the ceiling, wondering how he could move on it. But seeing the pattern there, he knew it was possible to move on the ceiling.
There was a strange design made over the ceiling with fist sized holes all over it. Maybe they had a purpose, but Lucian didn\'t care about that.
Preparing himself, he took in a deep breath and finally jumped towards the ceiling with enough strength to make his body rise to the height of the ceiling.
Lucian instantly gripped two of the holes and stuck close to the ceiling, then began to move towards the left path.
There were people below him who were keeping guard and talking; none of them noticed the black shadow moving from over their heads.
Without making any noise, Lucian slowly moved forward until the number of guards had reduced to zero.
Finally, he came in front of a metallic door, which seemed more like the door of a jail.
Zero was showing him to take the right from there, but feeling a little curious, Lucian tilted his head to look forward towards the jail.
\'What are those things?!\' Lucian questioned in shock; this cell was full of strange creatures who seemed to be sleeping.
Their body structure was like that of humans; their skin was full of pus, all of their bodies were deformed, and several times bigger than humans.
Those creatures looked very ugly and dangerous, their teeth tore through their own skin and were clearly visible outside, strange spikes were coming out of their skin from all over their bodies.
Even from so far, the air smelled really bad while a dirty and sticky-looking fluid filled the area around them, which looked a little acidic as bubbles kept popping inside it.
[Those creatures were formerly normal humans, but now they have turned into creatures called \'Humanoire.\'
They were fed the meat of creatures from the Chasms, which turned them into this disfigured form. Many of them died in the process, turning into these mindless creatures.
They are crazy and always hungry, almost like zombies, except for a few dissimilarities.]
Lucian had heard about such creatures from Zero before, but seeing them alive felt really twisted and cruel.
\'How strong are these creatures?\' Lucian questioned while looking at them; they looked worse than the monsters from horror stories.
[Their strength is at the 2nd Phase since they were fed the meat of creatures at the 2nd Phase.
If they were fed meat of higher-phase creatures, they would also have become even stronger, but their bodies would have suffered even more, and only one or two people would survive out of hundreds.
The higher the phase, the higher the deaths.]
Lucian nodded. There were hundreds of such creatures slumbering inside the cell. If they were let loose, countless people would be slaughtered.
Lucian stayed there only for a second before leaving the area; he wasn\'t interested in those creatures or those experiments, as he headed towards the
Chasm

He moved on the ceiling for more than ten minutes; after moving a few hundred meters, he finally saw the door behind which the
Chasm
was located.
But right outside the door, four people at the 2nd Phase of the Chasm were standing.
\'I guess I would have to take care of them before entering, right?\' Lucian thought, as he moved exactly over the four men.
[Yes, that\'s the only way. People won\'t be able to notice their disappearance anytime soon, since they stay inside for at least a week before their shift changes.]
Lucian observed the four for a few minutes; he wasn\'t in any hurry to kill them to avoid making any mistakes.
They were just chatting normally, talking about the tragedy of the 40th group, assessing who could have killed them all in such cruel ways; only the old man and that principal were left alive.
From Lucian\'s back, several red tentacles moved towards the four men.
All the tentacles were covered by black flames, which made them look even deadlier.
The four tentacles had pointed tips; they tore through the air, creating a whooshing sound.
They felt their skin tingle as they heard the sound of the air being slashed, but by the time they tried to move, the four tentacles tore through their bodies.
They went through their skulls, destroying their brains and finally coming out of their chins.
The four men died even before the first drop of their blood could hit the ground.
He retracted Velm and jumped down to the ground as the four bodies dropped.
Then he pushed the door and walked inside. The Chasm was there, but it felt a little different from the previous one.
"Maybe it is because it\'s locked, so I would have to kill the king of the Chasm to come outside, but that also means I would be able to get more energy out of it," Lucian mumbled.
He didn\'t feel bad at all about killing the creatures inside it; even if he had to slaughter the entire planet, he wouldn\'t think twice.
"There won\'t be any surprises inside like last time, right?" he asked, as he turned Velm into two long blades just to be sure.
[I can\'t say for sure just yet. The fate of different planets is completely different, and it would take a lot of energy to see even a little of that place, so I might fall asleep if I do that.]
"Forget it, it will be fine as long as it is a 2nd Phase Chasm. Anyway, let\'s go."
With all preparations done, Lucian began to walk towards the Chasm, but after thinking for a moment, he turned around and looked at the four corpses.
He made Velm suck all their blood and flesh, turning them into dried corpses; even the blood from the ground had disappeared.
Then Lucian wrapped them all in a tentacle and pulled them into the Chasm to use them just in case. He could use them inside the Chasm, and the people outside would misunderstand the situation.
"So any knowledge you have about the type of creatures inside?" Lucian mumbled as he stepped into the Chasm, and soon after he entered, the color of the Chasm changed.
Now no one would be able to enter the Chasm unless Lucian killed the king or died inside.
[The creatures inside are called Volcano Boars, and I\'m sure you can understand quite a lot just from the name itself.]
As Lucian stepped onto the new planet, unlike what he expected, he found himself in the middle of a thick forest with trees hundreds of meters tall.
The grass was so high that it was reaching over his head; his vision was instantly blocked.
Lucian let go of the corpses and used Velm to raise his body higher; still, it was difficult to have a proper look, so he finally decided to climb onto a tree.
Just as Lucian moved forward, he felt pain over his limbs; several long slashes had appeared over his arms and legs.
\'It\'s the grass? They are as sharp as blades.\'
Lucian felt surprised, but more than being astonished at the strange grass, he was wondering how tough the creatures would be that could move through such grass without being hurt.
\'I need to climb onto a tree as soon as possible. Zero, concentrate and try to find the location of the leader here.\'
Lucian ordered as he used Velm to push the grass around and began to move forward slowly. His wounds healed within seconds.
The closest tree was around twenty meters away from him; still, it took him over a couple of minutes to finally make his way towards it.
As Lucian reached the tree, he noticed that even the tree wasn\'t normal; its outer shell looked like metal, but it still had large holes all over it, as if some kind of insect had crawled its way inside.
The volcano boars were the strongest creatures on this planet, but that doesn\'t mean they are the only awakened creatures; this land was filled with unknown dangers.
