A Fool's Journey part 2

little soul's body was being eaten once again by the same wolf, he can feel the stench of its breath the pain and his limbs as a wolf tour them off. As it made his way into his guts clawing and ripping out chunks of himself. But something just didn't feel right, the pain was just as unbearable as when he first obtain this body but it felt more like a repeat than anything else.

he tried grabbing the wolf by its throat forcing it off but it didn't work. The wolf was too strong it was a bit larger than a regular one it even felt like it weighed over 200 lb and little soul could feel its rippling muscles under all that fur. But it all just seemed odd to Little Soul. he couldn't put his finger on it but it just didn't seem real. It looked real, it felt real, smelt real but something was still off.

Curious about what was wrong little soul tried something he tried forcing his spirit out of his body. He still couldn't leave his body by much but it was enough for him to discover what was really going on.

It was all a lie, he was wrapped in vines that continued to grow all over him. lying on the damp floor he saw a giant red flower hanging above him releasing a red gas as it continued to wrap around him tightly.

Not wanting to become food for this thing little soul urged his body to move. This plant may have been able to fool his senses but it cannot fool his spirit. His body may have still been under the plant's hypnosis but Little Soul only had to look at the world through his spirit to see it clearly and move his body effectively.

Little soul used all his might to move his arm toward his dagger. His skin tore off a bit as there were thorns on the vines. Ignoring the pain and pushing through little soul managed to grab the dagger on his left thigh. Then he began hacking and cleaving his way to freedom.

The vines secreted green goo as the giant red flower hissed at me and bear its sharp fangs. Little Soul was startled by this site he never expected a plant to have such sharp teeth. The plants monster ripped itself from the ground and began to swing it's a Vines at little Soul's body like whips.

Dodging as best as he could little soul was still overwhelmed. The Vines were coming from every direction hitting his body hard. A normal person would have succumbed to the pain and keeled over, luckily little soul was not normal. He still felt the pain and didn't like it one bit but, he knew he had to grit his teeth and bear through it if you wanted to come out of this alive. little soul tightened his grip on his dagger and swung it fiercely at the vines with the technique of an amateur. he was only able to cut one out of every five Vines which wasn't a lot considering there were still 20 of them pelting him every second.

Seeing close combat was getting him nowhere little soul decided to get some distance between him and the plants monster so, he could pull out his gun and shoot it. Doing just that he ran away while having his back whipped ferociously by dozens of vines that tore the skin off his back destroying the patchwork he worked so hard on.

His back was a mess when little soul was out of range of the plant's monsters whip-like vines. He then proceeded to pull out the pistol in his pocket and fired, he received quite the shock when he did. The gun was not normal the bullet inside was not normal. When he fired the bullet tore through the air reaching its target and exploding the flower bud making its teeth shoots out everywhere. As the bullet tore through Bellflower it also bore a hole through the tree behind the monsters plant.

"This is insane what kind of gun is this, it has as much force as a cannon behind it yet such little recoil" little soul admiring his new favorite toy almost forgot the plant monster still wasn't dead. It was wriggling in pain slamming into the ground it looked pathetic.

Wanting to put it out of its misery Little Soul reloaded the flintlock pistol and aimed at its wide stem near the base of its roots and fired. Blasting the whole top part off and burrowing a hole in the ground. All the vines wiggled around energetically for a bit before falling to the ground with a loud thud.

"This is amazing simply the best, how does this gun have such power despite it being so small? could It be the gunpowder? the metal? or maybe these strange symbols?" Little Soul was happy with his new weapon but now he wanted to inspect the plant monster because it was the first creature he could fully inspect without it trying to kill him, well not anymore at least.

After inspecting the creature Little Soul discovered it's as much like a normal plant despite its huge stature, ability to think, a large amount of glucose it produces that drips like blood, razor-sharp teeth, hidden Bean size eyes on the flower petals and it's a strange ability to hypnotize its prey.

That's what interests little soul the most, he saw it releasing gas but experience it was all so real. If anyone else besides him faced this creature they might have died. Well one of those other souls that came here with me should have been able to do the same thing probably.

With that said he did think of some flaws with that gas the biggest flaw was that when he can use the gun it was nothing like how it's was in real life he guesses because he never actually used that gun before.

So it's was imitating guns he was familiar with on Earth not the kind of ones on this planet. so, the flintlocks real ability did not translate over in the hallucination. Yet, that did not explain the plant's ability was I the one generating the illusions or was the plant somehow able to enter and manipulate my mind? If so how far does its ability go? This is quite informative to him but he wanted to know more so he grabbed his curved dagger and started cutting up the stem of the flower discovering something interesting inside.
