The Grand Adventure To Becoming A Type 1 Lifeform IV

The serpent dodged the attack its body turning into wisps of smoke, time began to flow again and the storm winds blew, Tristan closed his eyes and focused his mind sank back into darkness and a blurry image appeared.

His head snapped upward and the serpents open mouth could be seen.

<Notice >

-Host has partially awakened third eye.

Tristan's body surged with energy his fighting spirit reaching the sky.

<Notice >

-The god of slaughter has blessed you with supreme killing intent.

Thump thump as his heart beat, vicious might surged upward.

In the demonic realm Hailey felt something in her heart a violent sensation a blood lust that could devour heaven and earth.

Tristan's eyes rolled over and an ocean of blood seemed to have engulf his entire being, the fishy scent of blood began to spread in the storm winds, but this seemed to have enticed the massive serpent even more.

Lighting flashed and thunder rumbled.

Quite a distance away from the storm a rabbit looked up its small beady eyes stared at the bizarre imagery that appeared from the flashing lighting it then hopped into a hole.

The scene shifted and Tristan could be seen pushing against the snakes closing jaws, his body flying outward, but the fishy scent of blood from earlier caused another serpent to rush up.

It was smaller than the one Tristan was confronting, but feeling the disruption in air flow he turned around and slashed open the serpents head with his new skill called air pressure.

But due to him turning around the 50 ton creature's tail whipped at him he block the attack but his body was sent flying.

Boom!

His chest caved in and his stomach bursted, his right arm was mangled, his waist even more broken than before, but a serpent that was waiting in silence rushed up.

Its mouth opened swallowing Tristan, the snake then closed its mouth in triumph, a few moments later its stomach swelled then burst open and a bloodied and tired Tristan came out.

Resting his injured body on the serpent's corpse, he stared at his injured body it was at this moment that the massive serpent charged from below but before it could consume Tristan and the dead snake, a golden light slammed into the serpent's head causing it to divert from it previous trajectory.

''System store serpent in [dimensional storage]''

<Notice >

-Storing living beings in the system space will result in the creatures death do you wish to proceed.

Tristan's face scrunched up in annoyance then said ''yes I wish to proceed''

<Notice >

And as the system went off Tristan grabbed his head with his mangled right hand and said, "this is getting annoying". His left hand raised to his front and his palm glowed golden.

[Temperature regulation . . . Maximum output]

The air heated and turned into hot plasma in an instant two eyes appeared in the storms depts. staring at him but they quickly disappeared.

<Notice >

-Host has angered the storm ruler by trying to destroy its nest.

<Notice >

-The ruler of the nest is attac . . . .

His vision blurred and his senses went numb, outside the storm two figures were flung out their bodies wrapped with mist.

Poof, . . . Poof.

Tristan whos body was in an almost broken state Landed on the snow covered ground, he breathed in sharply, due to the pain, his exhales long and drawn out.

Zanier got up her head spinning she didn't know where she was or what happened, after sometime her vision cleared she then turned and saw Tristan lying still in the blood stained snow, but a splitting head ache hit her causing her to fall back on the snow ground.

But not knowing this Tristan stared up at the dark clouds above his expression bleak but that bleak expression was quickly replaced with a smile, he remembered a saying of a temple when he was back on earth.

It went a little something like this.

''O how the world move, its mysteries unknown. O how the stars disappear with these dark clouds, just like my hope of a long life. O vast heavens, o small earth may my spirit wonder the endless depts. of unknowns, keep careful watch of my soul as I depart this world''

As his blood turned the snow a bright crimson Tristan felt his consciousness slowly fade into the forever dark but an ancient voice rang in his head.

<Notice >

Gasp, Tristan woke up while taking in a deep breath, with a face covered with sweat he struggled to his feet, taking in another deep breath, he began to look around cautiously but there was nothing but snow.

Zanier sat up at this moment, Tristan who was staring at the white snow was so frightened that he did a back flip zanier stared at the idiot with sleepy eyes a smirk appeared on her face as if to say 'you scared of lil old me.'

Tristan head swelled with petty rage, he kicked the snow fiercely causing snow to smash in Zanier's face, the two then fooled around for a bit then decided to start their journey, after changing fresh clothes, the two walked for a hundred feet or so before seeing a massive mound in the snow.

The two looked at each other and decided at that moment they would go check it out, but before that they decided to circle around just to be safe, Tristan took the left and zanier took the right and after walking for a bit the two was now in front of a massive cave entrance.

The two realized that the cave was dimly lit by something, but because of the suns rays, they couldn't see what was going on inside the cave, so they decided to enter and upon entering the two where awestruck by the caves beauty.

The walls of the cave where endowed with emerald green crystals that shown dull red luster, while marveling at the cave Tristan spotted a flat stone at the caves entrance, it stood out from the other rocks due to its greyish black color.

Walking over he sat down on the stone but a few moments later Tristan let out a yelp in pain. Zanier looked over and asked ''what's up, you ok?''

But instead of answering he kept on staring at the stone he then placed a finger on the stone, a stone mouth metalized and clamped down on his finger Tristan screamed out in pain.

''Ahh fuck my finger the stone bit my finger.''

He cursed the stone while swinging his hand in the air, Zanier rushed over and tried to pull the stone off, the crushing grip on his finger increased his hand swung upward and slammed into Zanier's face.

It was then the crushing grip on his finger loosened and the stone was sent flying disappearing into the darkness, an angry Tristan searched about in the cave but he gave up when he didn't find the stone.

Deciding to go a bit further into the cave the two walked down the passage that looked like it was carved by hand the two walked for some distance and saw the single path had branched off into two.

The first was a door witch was on the right and the second was a staircase on the left that led down into god knows where.

<Notice >

-The host should enter the passage on the right.

Following the system suggestion Tristan turned to the right and pushed open thick stone door, dust blew in his face causing Tristan to cough his lungs out but Zanier just stepped passed him as if the dust was just a mere breeze.

Tristan spoke in a mocking tone ''hey miss vacuum isn't your lungs clogged after all that dust?'', but instead of answering Zanier only looked at him strangely he was about to speak but his attention was drawn to an ugly thing sitting at the center of the room.

Tristan scrunched up his face as if he had smelled something, he then spoke, ''hey you ugly thing what are you doing here'', the troll that was sitting still moved and its head turned and my god was it ugly.

The troll smiled showing of its rotting teeth, it then spoke its voice crow like, ''go and create an elixir for me and I'll give you this leaf'', its hand stretched out and a glowing leaf could be seen.

But Tristan couldn't help but have an outburst ''who the fuck you giving a leaf for your stupid elixir, the audacity of this old wrinkly cunt, hmph even my grandmas wrinkly old ass looks better than that face of yours''

The trolls face darkened slightly but it repeated the words form earlier but this time it added in a bit more detail, but as it did so the two realized the weird inscriptions, ''I'll give you this leaf it is the leaf of a world tree, it can grant blessings to those who use it''

The two thought for a moment but instead of Tristan answering it was zanier she bowed and spoke respectfully to the troll, ''we humbly accept this request kind sir''

The troll smiled pleasantly or so it thought, it then threw a glass bottle at the two and said ''store the liquid in her after creating the elixir'', it then threw something else at them and said ''that peace of parchment contains an image of the ingredients their names and how to make it''. after pausing it continued ''go down the stairs on the left and you'll be lead to the frosty depths.''

<Notice >

-The host has accepted the old trolls request task completion time 5 hours, completion before timer allows the host to get a bonus reward.

The two left the room the two went down the stairs what felt like an hour had passed the two finally reached the end of the stair case saw an opening they then went through a small passage and saw a bright light at the end.

The two walked for a bit and after their eyes had yet to be accustomed to the light, they reached the end of the passage and jumped down due to the ground being on a lower elevation.

Now that they where out of the dark tunnel the two's eyes adjusted and a unexpected scenery greeted them, Zanier was the first to ask, ''why is it snowing inside the cave?'', but Tristan replied in a nonchalant tone ''don't know don't care lets go look for those ingredients.''

Thirty minutes had passed in the cave and the two had already found one of the main ingredients, 'the dust of strength', excited by their quick discovery, the two rushed of to gather the remaining ingredients thinking that it would be an easy task.

An hour passed by while searching the snowy caves but their efforts bare no fruit, sighing Tristan raised his head and wondered why was the sealing wobbling, Zanier looked at Tristan's strange expression and looked up at the celling, she then said calmly ''that's the pond of life weave been searching'' 

Tristan spoke as if not surprised, ''yeah I think we found the 'pond of life' '', not knowing how they would collect it, but they didn't worry for where there's a will there's a way.

Time ticked by and the two where now searching for the flower of elixir this flower was crucial for it mad all the ingredients one, after searching the two saw something on a hill Tristan stared at the hill and zanier followed along.

Tristan's face was blank as he spoke his tone calm, ''it was on this hill all along huh''

Zanier's face was even more blank her tone laced not with the slightest of agitation said ''I circled it 9 times times you?''

Tristan spoke his tone tinged with defeat ''I only did so 5 times''

Zanier face wrinkled slightly as she said ''I guess I beat you on this one huh?''

The two walked up the hill and picked the flower but a howl was heard in the distance, but the two only stared at the flower with odd looks in their eyes moments after picking the flower the two ran for dear life.

Tristan cursed at Zanier, ''you idiot why didn't you mention the flower was protected by a guardian beast!'' but Zanier remained silent and as the two ran the ground split open the creature/wolf attacked its claws splitting the ground.

Tristan decided that he would use his eyes of analysis to find weak a spot, Tristan stopped abruptly turned and stabbed upward his word pierced through the wolfs throat killing it instantly.

<Notice >

-Host has killed guardian beast sp 100

Drawing his sword from the fallen wolf skull a greyish black stone appeared next to him. But not knowing this Tristan decided that he make the elixir right here and now, reaching into his dimensional storage he pulled out a dented pot, Zanier stared at him with a strange look in her eyes.

Placing the pot on the ground Tristan poured in the ingredients according to the instruction given, water of life 1st, bring water to a boil, he activated his [temperature regulation] skill and in few minutes the water began to bubble.

2nd is to pour in dust and stir until it thickens, 3rd is grind flower to powder and add to mixture. Thirty minutes went bye and a pungent smell wafted through the air Zanier who now had a cloth wrapped around her face crouched down and placed the glass vile on the ground.

Lifting the pot Tristan began to pour the viscous fluid into the vile

<Notice >

-Elixir has been created. Return quickly for bonus reward t - 15 minutes.
