11.THE EMPYREAN

"Ahh this feels heaven I wanted to be alone and now I am free."

Nix muttered to himself with a smile and walked into the forest cheerfully.

'uhhuhhu "

Suddenly monkeys came rushing towards him and surrounded him.

[Truth eye activated.]

[Doom prediction vision activated.]

"come on now?"

He mocked the monkeys and unsheathed his sword from his back. He seemed cheerful since nobody was with him he could use his strength without getting suspected and he clearly appeared to be relishing this moment and examining the monkey's stats with his truth eye they seemed weak compared to him.

He pointed his sword at the monkeys and gestured to come at him and started running towards the monkeys while the monkeys started to rush towards him and he was cornered by all sides.

"left-right front back"

He started to slash at every monkey that came at him using his prediction vision. He kept on attacking while the monkeys seemed to be not let him any time soon. The fight went on like that for ten minutes while he continued to go on a killing spree for twenty minutes. If he was back on earth would he have done something like this is quite questionable? He didn't seem to care about the monkeys' lives. He seemed to enter a trance state every time he entered a battle.

Suddenly the monkey's attitude changed. They fled away from Nix.

"hah, That was tiring. imma take some rest now."

NIx started walking through the bloody soil. After wandering the forest for a while to find something to eat.

"shriik shriik"

Bushes shook for a second.

Clutching his sword he scanned his vicinity but nothing seemed to be happening. With a sigh, he started walking again. After a while, feeling fatigued he leaned on a tree and rested for a while.

suddenly,

"Dak Dak"

Suddenly something came running.

"Is that the same boar?"

Nix licked his lips in anticipation. And his guess was right it was the same jumbo boar they attacked as a team.

"I am hella hungry so please go down fast."

Nix simply rushed towards it and chopped its head off.

"hmm"

He started butchering it and sliced the meat perfectly. And threw its skin away. He started a fire and roasted the boar meat into a deep brown. And began eating while the smell and aroma of the roasted meat and the smell of the fire spread through the vicinity.

"Blerrgh"

He put off the fire and started walking.

After walking for a while he started hearing the sound of the sea waves hitting the sand and he felt the moist air and moving further he saw the color of the soil changing mixed with yellow sand and at the edge, the trees parted ways making a clear view of what lied in the front. It was a clean blue sea with rough waves hitting the land.

Nix was in awe." Am I on an Island?"

He ran towards the sea in excitement.

"kruk"

"Ow ow ow"

Suddenly he felt pain in his legs when he gazed down he saw a crab gripping his toe.

"kriiik"

He stomped the crab.

And he washed his legs and sat on the wet sand.

"Now I have to wait until it becomes Night."

He walked back towards the first while a Crab went across his legs. Nix Licked his lips.

"Lemme yeet the crab for passing the time"

He grabbed the crab and set fire to start cooking first he tied the crab above the fire and rotated it after awhile he took it hot and broke its shell. Looking at the juicy flesh Nix gulped. His eyes excitedly locked onto the juicy meat. He seems like a glutton with a short temper judging from his actions.

"Time to dig in!

"uhuhuhhu ahuhuhuah"

Suddenly the monkeys he attacked came back with reinforcement and there was one two meters tall monkey it looked like a badass fighter as it had a long scar on its face and many scars on its body.

"uhuhuhu ahuhhuahhu"

The Leader monkey made some weird gestures and pointed its subordinates. He didn't understand anything but he could clearly see that it was in anger.

Nix frowned at the monkeys feeling annoyed.

"Sorry bud I can't understand but, they started it first."

The monkey started shouting at him again.

"uhhhuhuhuuh haahhuhah"

He ignored it and took the meat excitedly towards his mouth. But only to get disappointed. The monkey leader snatched it and threw it away.

"Now you are dead!"

He declared in anger and pointed his sword at it.

"uhuhuh hauh"

The monkey turned back to its subordinate and ordered something and then they gave the Monkey Leader a bandana and a sword. The Leader took it and wore the bandana while wielding the sword. It gave a mocking smirk at him and took its battle stance.

" A sword fight!" Nix exclaimed.

All the other monkeys stood there in a circle and made it look like a tournament.

"uhuhuh ahuhhuh"

The monkey leader shouted and started rushing towards him. Nix simply kitted its attack and gave few blows and took it down. He butchered the Monkey boss in anger like a beast.

"uhuhhah"

All the monkeys started shouting violently and another monkey went inside the battleground and became defeated. They came one by one challenging nix and got defeated. His body was wholly soaked in blood as he continued to battle.

" huhuhuhaha"

All the monkeys shouted and cheered violently and paved their way to Nix.

"HAh, Fucking damned monkeys," He scowled and walked away.

He climbed on a try and leaned on a particularly large tree branch and gazed at the clear sky while feeling the moist air and the sandy smell.

And just like that, It became Night.

{Congratulations on surviving the Kalinga forest}

Nix shot up from his place in a startle.

Suddenly he was enveloped by a white blinding light. Being unable to open his eyes he shut them tightly while feeling like he was floating in mid-air. After a few minutes, the light faded away.

Nix opened his eyes and a message popped up.
