Torment Forest (3)

After Martin was defeated, the monstrous vines brought his unconscious body towards the main monster itself which is a very big 3rd Class-Demonic Monster with the ability to manipulate the vines around it.

[ Name: Abyssal Vine Core ]

[ Race: Demonic Monsters ]

[ Status: Familiar ]

[ Rank: 3rd-Class Monster ]

As it happens, the monster then brings Martin towards its eyes in order to see the being who just destroy his vine branches earlier as it plans to eat the unconscious Martin as it growls in front of him and...

" How dare you growl me like that, you hideous vine Demonic Beast low-life?" Martin suddenly says as he wakes from his slumber destroying the vines that restrained him as he uses his full speed to destroy the remaining vines making it pour the blood within.

[ SSSSSKKKKKKKKKKCCCCCCCRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! ] the Vine monster screams as Martin then flies thanks to the wings that suddenly frow from his back.

" You stupid child !!!! " Martin says as his eyes turned into Veliona's.

" Let me show you how to truly use the Deviant Arts !!!! " Martin (Veliona) says as he (she) uses the original [Flow] technique to destroy the Vine monster with the forest entirely.

As the forest were destroyed, Martin (Veliona) then sees the still surviving monster as it crawls into the ground as he (she) descends into its position.

" Well well ... still alive huh? " he (she) says while opening his (her) palm to prepare another attack.

" .... [Deviant Arts, Flow] .... " as he (she) says that, Martin's (Veliona's) hand began to glow with light as he (she) began to charge the [Flow] technique in order to destroy the Abyssal Vine Core completely without any trace.

[ BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM]

As it happens, Martin (Veliona) destroys the large forest which is actually the eastern part of the Torment Forest while their destination is on the north.

"( I think it's better for me to handle things over for now ... )" Veliona thought to herself while she is in full control as she use Martin's body to fly to the north.

"( Even though we still have much time thanks to us having no deadline or some sort ... )"

"( We still have much time to upgrade ourselves by absorbing other Demonic Monsters and Deviants that exist within these 'Sub- Realm'. )"

"( But now, our problem is about Martin's constant rebellion towards me despite my generosity and need to help him in order to be free from this place entirely.)" Veliona speaks to herself as she flies in the skies while looking at the grounds below where she looks at the Demonic Monsters fighting each other.

In that battle, Veliona sees a Plant monster and a Mantis type monster battling over food where she sees it and ...

"( Is that the [Abyssal Fruit] !!!!???? )" she says while looking at the fruit making her drolled up, wetting Martin's mouth.

As she (he) looks at it, she began to leap downwards as she unleashes her claws from Martin's hand as she does her plunge attack onto the Mantis Monster as she destroys its head and rips out its Mana Core absorbing it.

" Ohohohoho .... yes !!!!!!! " Veliona says as she absorbs the core making her had the ability to summon scythe from Martin's hands.

As she does that, she looks at the Plant monster as it attacks her but she then dodges it while slicing that thing open with her scythe hands as she rips the Mana Core out of its body too.

" Hmm... too bad that both of your blood had a bad taste ... " she says as she felt disappointed that the monsters she kills had a disgusting smell of blood.

Despite that, she then looks at the fruits as she smells them and says.

" Oh yes ... now this is the real thing ... " Veliona says as she eats the fruit which gives her a great amount of Mana.

" Oh my ... yes ... yes ...yes !!!!!!! I can feel ..... huh !!!!!! " Veliona says as she noticed Martin is awake from his slumber inside the Mind Plane.

" Wait a minute ... you're awake .... ? " she asks while Martin somehow managed to control half of his own body.

" Yeah ... and can you please go back now? ... " he asked since he remembers that the contract only permits her to take over only when his life is in dangerous situations.

Hearing that, Veliona can only gasp while thinking that even though the new contract does say that but the thing is ... that new contract is actually still in her favor since that contract is actually a 70-30 contract with her holding the 70% chance of dominion over the contract which let her have the privilege to bend its rules for a little.

"( Wait a minute, .... how does this kid awake from his sleep and ..? )" Veliona says as she senses something different from Martin.

"( Did I just sense that this kid's power is increasing? ... )" Veliona says as she felt another force of Mana is growing inside Martin's body which shocks her as she finally knows what actually happened.

"( Not good, I have to make him sleep again before ..... )" she says as suddenly Martin somehow takes over his body again as his body turns into normal again.

" Oh ... I'm back !!!! " Martin says as he tries to grip his hands while having a bone relaxation.

" Oh yeah ... that's more like it ... " Martin says as he felt something is different from his body as he felt a surge of power is coursing inside him, a power that he felt is different from that of Veliona's.

But still, since he doesn't care, Martin then ignores it as he continues his journey while fighting another Deviant with his [Flow] technique again.

( Meanwhile ... )

( Inside the Mind Plane.)

" Impossible ... " says the beaten-down Veliona.

" How could his body suddenly absorb Mana despite his natural genetic mana disableness? " Veliona asks herself while she looks at Martin's mind.

In that moment of silence, a thought then comes into Veliona's mind as she proceeds to look at every of Martin's memories, and then she decided to check on Martin's blood and DNA as she was curious about something.

"( Seeing this anomaly, I could only conclude that Martin is actually .... )" Veliona says as she does some checking inside Martin's body while the owner is outside fighting against some random Monkey Monsters as he punches it on the face.
