The fallen Arachnid

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

A sudden gust of wind disturbed the beautiful golden silence of the Celeste dungeon, what followed the gust of wind was a slimey linear unwavering trail of blazing fire and two small footprints that left a trail of fire behind

The race between these two beings was a stalemate as they were matching each others speedmark hence they were in a dynamic illuminating one another like a contrast of colour shading on a Canvas

The race between Aetheris and the slime was not the one of satisfaction but the one of all or nothing meaning the winner takes all

Dragons depending on their race are well known to have keen senses when it comes to treasure hunting but this only applies to the type of treasure and how well it would benefit them hence by instinct Aetheris knew that if the slime gets the enigmatic treasure releasing such Aura he would lose something of great value

The garments on his body were on fire as they were not durable enough to withstand the sudden burst of speed increase that occurred with each step he took despite not feeling the heat

Aetheris didn't like the idea of running around naked but these garments have quite a resilience hence his concerns were temporary put to a rest

The mind and body must be in sync when someone enters the state of motion or in this case superspeed, the body is able to react accordingly to threats if the mind can perceive them properly

Aetheris was near the tipping point of breaking the sound barrier and enter Mach 1, initially with both his mind and body in sync he could cover 169,785 metres per second with ease and no exhaustion

however as he doubled the speed his brain processing capabilities were falling behind in terms of being in sync with his body hence Aetheris used [Thoughts acceleration:2×] but Remiel suggested that using [Cognitive calculation:3×] simultaneously will provide better results

[A/N: I can't write every scene as it happens that would be info dumping and somethings are meant to be mysteries that I would like you to build theories on 😉 patience is a virtue]

"It seems like not having any training is taking a toll on my body, although it's not to the point where I would collapse I am exhausted both physically and mentally" thought out loud Aetheris as he maintained his state of uniform motion

The untrained body doesn't do well under pressure and too Aetheris who his entire life was being pampered by Sebastian the same applied to him hence small cuts constantly began appear around his body but before even blood could seep out they regenerated.. the pain was but ecstasy to Aetheris

"It was a great rivalry for a second but.." Aetheris increased the amount of force he exerted on the ground to increase the amount of steps he took per second

"Only one of us can win.. no hard feelings.. right *Wink* "

"Gruuu ???? " Wiggled the slime in confusion, they were both locked in a stalemate so these words of arrogance from Aetheris did not make sense

Aetheris teleported near the summit of the hill creating an instant 600 metres distance between him and the slime

"GRUUU UUUUU UUUU UUU UUUU UUU UUUU UUU UUUU UUU!!!!!" Roared the slime as it saw Aetheris taking the lead

The moment his feet connected to the summit Aetheris sent out vibrations to the ground to increase his leaping force and disarrange the pathway of the slime

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

The summit of hill was shattered in too pieces as Aetheris took off.. leaping into the unknown, the shock wave generated by the leap was so great that the terrain forming the trail of the pathway for the slime was in shambles buying Aetheris more time while helping the slime at the same time

.....

"So you were the one calling me no to be precise your core was the one calling"

At the center of a canyon that is surrounded by countless hills and mountains a young naked boy stood in front of a Colossal corpse of an Arachnid

<<Answer: Since the Arachnid is from a fallen universe it's origins where erased when that Universe met end therefore it will take quite while for me to access records which why I need data create new algorithm hasten process>>

Aetheris looked at the white Arachnid in awe, in his eyes it was beautiful due to it's enigmatic Aura and mysterious Origins.. the dormant desire of studying the unknown began to awaken from within, as he moved closer he put his palm on the fur of the Arachnid, his senses felt no danger or malice

"[Deconstruct] " muttered Aetheris without even knowing what he meant

The body of the Arachnid began to expand and emit an ethereal glow that made Aetheris close his eyes

The light began to subside and as Aetheris open his eyes he was confused and puzzled

"What are these and what happened to the spider"

Four objects floated infront of him and each one was unique and beautiful, a dark purple diamond shape object, a yellow transparent sphere and the two solid white and blue cores

<<Answer: The intrinsic ability deconstruct dismantled the Arachnid and Brobdingnagian Into cores, essences life vessel, was in a dead state due to Absorbing but it lost it's will process therefore you before could adapt>>

Aetheris grabbed the blue core and as he felt it in his hand, another word came into his mind

"[Verocity]"

Aetheris felt something leaving the core

And enter his body

<<Notice: You have extracted the thread manipulation ability from core < em>

Thread Manipulation: Users can create, shape and manipulate threads and string, long, thin and flexible form of material. Most commonly, users can generate them and use them to control the movements of people and manipulate their movements akin to how a puppeteer controls puppet.>>

"Ok then what if i..." A sudden Idea came to his mind

Aetheris focused on what he wanted to create and threads manifested from his fingers and created a set of three garments a shirt, underwear and short pants on his body

*RUMMMMMMMMBLLLLLLLEEE*

The dungeon began to collapse as it felt it's master's presence vanish, mountains fell and stars rained down destroying everything in their path

"What.."

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

The shock waves knocked him out since he was already on the brink of collapse, Aetheris couldn't even defend himself at the moment

*WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH*

A giant hand made of darkness ripped through space and protected him from the stars before it slowly picked him up and disappeared

.....

"Is that a child..pick him up this forest is not safe especially with that Brobdingnagian running around"
