Stone
He walked into the destroyed wall,
Leaving a sculpture of himself, it stood on what seemed to be a world surrounded by other worlds; the world that it stood on was smashed and in each hand, there was a world and a miniature version of him on top of them, he was in the walking position with his back turned, and on his head was the same little sculpture.
And on the bottom of the sculpture were a couple of lines of words
"I have died; it may have been once, but its duration was enough for me to die a hundred thousand times in my isolation. I have hidden some emotions and pulled out some hidden emotions; these emotions helped me realize that no matter what danger, threat, or the unknown new world will throw my way, I will face all of them with open arms, and I will no longer knell and weep out of weakness. But, for my survival, I will use this life to the fullest. I will become the strongest and never let myself feel nor be weak even if I have to bring death and destruction alongside me."
Enopy stabbed the corner of the stone wall and injected his aura; 15 feet of the wall turned into dust; he stayed quiet as he walked, giving the sound of his every movement a chance to resonate through the small passageway.
"Dtha, boom, tap, tap, tap, tap....."
"dtha, boom, tap, tap, tap, tap...."
"dtha, boom, tap, tap, tap, tap...."
"dtha, boom, tap, tap, tap, tap....."
"dtha, boom, tap, tap, tap, tap...."
"dtha, boom, tap, tap, tap, tap....."
He went through six-15 feet of layers of rock before he took a non-needed break.
"I wanna try something," he said as he spread his aura and soon contracted it.
Seconds later a black pouch made out of aura floated in front of Enopy, it contained all the dust gathered during his time in the passageway, "cool, I can make my aura ethereal or solid great," he said as he compressed the dust, trying to change it back into rock. The sound of cracks resounded throughout the area.
He had initially thought the sound came from the compressed rock but soon noticed that the sound had originated from the stone above him.
"Is it collapsing? no, it's been the same rock for miles, and besides, if that were the case then my statue area would have collapsed a long time ago;....what is it?" he mumbled as he began thinking of multiple possibilities while staring at the ceiling.
"Well, the most apparent reason is the wolves, they probably found a weak spot and are digging down here now," Enopy thought with a calm expression.
"Food!" he mumbled as his expression went from calm to heated; he was strong enough to fight a rank two middle-stage wolf, so he didn't worry too much, and even if he would have to face a rank three wolf, he was sure he had a chance to win with his land advantage.
It wasn't that he was immensely strong, it was due to the differences between humans and beasts.
Intelligence was the one thing with endless possibilities, it could destroy a world or create one.
He decided to make a couple of escape routes that could also be used as traps.
This took him no time, so he sat in the middle of his escape routes and waited with his aura deployed. He decided to cultivate at that time, he knew that to raise his cultivation level; he had to help his core access a higher level of energy; he was now in solid stage 1 of peak stage, rank one.
"It would be great if I can advance quickly, but I doubt It," he said through his consciousness as he tried to sense black fragrance particles that matched his.
"As I thought, odorless fragrance particles are rare, it will be challenging to raise my cultivation level quickly," he said as he continued to search.
Days later...
Enopy sat in that same spot. In front of his face was a small, perfectly rounded rock. The rock was made of all the dust created from the destroyed rocks.
Suddenly a grin appeared on Enopy's face; he picked up the rock; it seemed as if the rock was tens of tons.
"BoOm," a paw filled with deadly claws reached out from the hard stone above Enopy.
Enopy chucked the rock with all his strength seconds later, and a fountain of blood seeped out of the hole.
"crAck", the ceiling collapsed, and tons of dead wolves flowed out.
"GrrrRRRRRROOOOOOoooorr"
A defining roar resounded throughout the area.
Enopy no longer acted arrogant, and his face turned solemn.
Soon after the defining roar, a pack of wolves entered Enopy's sight composed of ten rank 1s, five rank 2s, and two rank 3s.
"Shit!?" Enopy screamed fiercely; the wolves didn't understand human language, but they took Enopy's scream as the start of the battle.
The rank 2s and 3s stayed back and sent the rank 1s as they checked out the area acting as if the area was already there.
The rank 1s ran toward Enopy.
They suddenly felt overwhelming danger when they entered Enopy's range.
Enopy gave them no time to react, and their heads were split in an instant.
This caught the rank 3s attention, but they still didn't take Enopy as a threat, so they sent the rank 2s.
"There are three peak rank 2s, and the rest are the first stage. I have to use the traps. I'm not invincible". He said as he turned around and sprinted towards a passageway.
He took a bunch of twists and turns while the wolves chased after him; they were forced to run in a straight line in that small passage.
After hours of running, he was met with a dead end; the space in that area tripled the size of the passageway.
The wolves soon entered that ample space. Enopy gave them no time to get familiar with their surroundings; he swung his sword and cut the wall beside him.
Suddenly the stone ceiling came crashing down as the sound of crushed bones spread through the area.
Enopy grinned and thought, "good thing I used my free time in my previous life to learn some engineering", he used the dust to create these stone blocks as he jumped on top of the fallen stone ceiling, there was now an open space in the ceiling and hidden in the darkness was stairs.
Enopy went up those stairs and soon found himself on a small platform; the platform had multiple pathways of stairs connected to it.
Enopy went down the one on his right; he soon found himself on a stone block; he applied pressure causing the block to fall from its spot.
Two wolves appeared in his sight as the block crashed to the ground.
There was a wind wolf and an all-seeing wolf.
The wind wolf dashed towards Enopy; it tried to cut through Enopy with one hit, but Enopy dashed back; this left the wolf shocked.
Enopy had time to check himself "it's quicker than I thought" he mumbled as he observed the minor cut on his arm.
He looked up only to see the giant wolf in the air about 5 feet away from him.
He dashed forward as he prepared his swords.
"Boom," he slashed at the wolf, and the wolf did the same, they both flung back at the wall.
Enopy looked at his injuries; he had three significant cuts on his chest to his stomach; he looked up to see what damage he had caused to the wolf but the sight made his pupils shrink.
The wolf's fur was cut off and some faint scuff marks laid on its skin
Enopy knew that this would be a very tough fight and was not sure if he would survive.
