34 Triangulum's triangle

"That's a black rhino? It's so small!" The boy shouted.

The depth of shock he had submerged in, was incomprehensible but yet acceptable. Considering that his soul came from planet earth, it made sense how he expected some large creature instead of this little thing.

Such a sight baffled him for sure, but he couldn't afford to waste time. This creature supposedly carried a grand antidote, the same type which could heal the boy's liver!

Likewise, he had to ponder. "Okay, so how do I milk an angry rhino..."

In the meantime, stress grew and stood tall above all other emotions. This dilemma was complex, but the opponent made things worse once it prepared to charge!

"Stay back bastard!" William shouted.

Afterwards he pulled out both of his katana-like swords, and swung them across the air a couple of times just to spook the beast!

Now since this creature had been strong enough to resist a neuro-shock, the young man figured that some complexion laid in its brain. For that matter he attempted to reason.

"I don't wanna kill you... because I want your milk, or your girlfriend's milk if you're a guy or some shit." He shamelessly pitched.

This was perhaps the worst offer that an animal could have gotten, so rejection was inevitable. It was unclear if this tiny beast could understand, but it sure became angrier!

Likewise, the same opponent charged forward once more, and wiggled its horn left and right with a crave for violence! This creature lacked arms, but it's big, mole-like palms still managed to boldly torment the ground!

Within an instant, William was only a foot away from the rageful opponent. At this point his best response was to fight back, regardless of what health demanded!

"I said get back!" He shouted.

After a blink, both of his swords landed on either the enemy's horn, or the rusty sword which was stuck on that same pointy thing! In other words, the actual target remained unscathed.

Yet the impact itself was still strong, so he toppled forwards as a result. That rhino continued to march ahead for a few feet more, and indefinitely crawled underneath the boy through that same moment!

Danger itself was the most luminous through that pocket of time, as William wasn't in a stable stance whatsoever! Thankfully the enemy was clumsy, or else death itself could've been around the corner.

"Uh... god, why's that platypus-assed dirt humper so fast?" He complained.

Such a curse was beyond offensive, yet for some reason it was the first thing he could think of. Afterwards, the overall situation only escalated!

As after the boy got a face full of dirt, his view darted towards the sky for a quick second. That was when he noticed something unique!

"Can't be! The hell does this mean now?" He muttered.

It was difficult to catch up with everything, especially after he peeked at the enemy. This creature was overwhelmed by a ray of calmness and wellbeing now!

In exchange, this battle met with an end before it could have properly started! The same opponent which proved aggressive just a few seconds ago, evaded violence entirely right now!

It just tried to shake away that rusty sword which was latched on its horn, but even that effort was soft-palmed! One would think that this rhino tried to savor the sword.

"Ha! Someone got another pyramid working!" William celebrated.

He was happy because two sharp, and elongated lights spread across the darkened sky, and they were narrowly close to one another. Such a scene spiked confusion, but also aided relief in multiple ways.

After a moment, he concluded. "This means Olivia probably survived! Who else could tap those damned triangles? The owls are too far away."

However, before he could have pondered those thoughts thoroughly, he was suddenly showered by a whole liter of liquids! 

The boy didn't have time to figure out where this came from, because his attention was enslaved by a sweet taste which melted across his mouth! It felt as if this liquid was showered with a bowl of sugar.

Once William's eyes opened, he instantly noticed a white substance. It laid across the young one's palms, and droplets dribbled down from his face as well.

"The hell's this!" He shouted.

A second after he noticed the same liquid on the enemy's horn, it leaked out of the very spot where the rusty sword had struck before! Such a scene baffled the snakezoid.

Likewise his holler intensified, "That's where rhino milk comes from?"

The first plan was to stab this weird animal to death, but the darn thing dashed deep into the ground and showed no signs of return. It was impossible to chase it!

"If that bastard's a guy and just shot a load at me, I'll cut my own throat." Well such a statement was surely dramatic.

Yet he was right to be pissed off, as it simply felt perplexing to figure out this world and its uncertainties. Unsurprisingly, the unexpected results agitated him the most!

Thankfully the system helped clear all confusion once it opened a blue-tab, which featured a high definition view of William's vulnerable organ. On this tab, there were a few details which demanded attention!

"Hmm... I healed! My liver got better, it's up to forty-five percent!" He slightly shouted.

Through those same few seconds, he noticed how an ongoing headache swiftly got lighter. Along with that, a cloud which strained him mentally, faded away as well!

Now with such heavy barricades out of the way, William could sense how his whole brain picked up the pace. In a literal sense, his whole intelligence unlocked once the liver met with its antidote! 

"Haha! Nothing can stop me now!" He celebrated.

The boy felt how his thoughts raged on top of one another, and patterned themselves swiftly just to bring up a few conclusions. In other words, all those one-hundred and forty points of his IQ, were finally put to work!

However, since there weren't any enemies to destroy, all he could do now was follow the prior plan. Hope shone the most and it was perhaps sprinkled with delusion, as he heavily hoped that at least one friend survived.

With that thought in mind, William marched upwards and aimed to reach the spot where this one, grand light had an edge.

In the process, it was inevitable to feel that strong radiation which embraced peace. Two long, and bright lights shone just a few meters above his head, so it was impossible to ignore their presence.

However, this time around there was a twist. Although the boy roamed near these powerful lights, his mind was barely affected by all that forceful peace.

"Weird, thought that I was gonna be dumber than an ape or something." He thought.

The young man was conscious enough to acknowledge this difference, but he couldn't figure out just why he reigned superior this time. For a second he was paranoid, but those thoughts were swiftly replaced by confidence.

The snakezoid happily stated, "Haha! I'm too smart for this shit now, ain't no weird triangle gonna trick me!"

At that second, the system informed. [The hantonic disease couldn't care less about your intelligence.]

Such a sentence was barely understandable, not to mention offensive. So it wasn't easy to comprehend what the lady said.

Thankfully she elaborated, [You just drank black rhino milk, which has increased the health of your internal organs, by an estimated fifteen-percent to be exact.]

While this topic only got more complicated, William put ego aside and tried his best to understand. As in simple words, he didn't want to be inferior when it came to intelligence.

In cooperation, the lady sealed this topic once she added. [Now, your organs are stable enough to support your brain, and fight the hantonic disease as well. Otherwise your intelligence wouldn't really matter, even if it lied in the hundreds.]

"Oh," The boy sighed.

Afterwards he thought that it would be a good idea to find another rhino, and absolutely drain all the milk it possessed. Since health itself helped grasp a firm grip on intelligence, he didn't plan to take another misstep!

However, there weren't any horned creatures around here to hunt, so it was best to simply seek his friends instead.

In response to those goals, he hiked up the mountain for a good few minutes. But since he rushed upwards, it was inevitable to grow tired quite swiftly. 

All this effort made him burst out numerous quick breaths, so it was stupid to push forward at this pace.

Instead, the young man sat on a clear portion of short grass, and took a moment to catch his breath. In that same moment, it was inevitable to notice something unique.

"Huh? I won already? These stupid mountains are peaceful now?" He questioned.

The exact scene which he referred to, elegantly pierced the air at the moment. William was simply in shock once he noticed how not two, but three lines of white-light shone across the night sky!

For a second it was hard to understand this scene, but afterwards it made sense.

The first ever pyramid had erupted far below him, all the way down to the first mountain. Its light poked through that massive tunnel's ceiling as a result, and stretched towards the sky!

Now, that same landmark's sharp illumination, connected to the third and final light which had been triggered just moments ago!

Most importantly, since these transparent lights have properly connected with one another now, the result was a giant triangle which spread across the sky!

In a characteristically visual way, all three pyramids have been activated. Now, they fully enforced their peace across mount triangulum, and had a marvelous sight as a reference! 

The scene itself aided relief, so now the boy hoped. "That's done! Got to find my friends next, hope that won't take long cause I ain't running around here forever."
