"Aaaah!" Followed by a resounding scream, a woman plunged into the ocean water. She gagged, swallowing the ocean water without control as she flailed erratically. She kicked the water like a paddle, eventually gaining control of her body as she surfaced, gasping for air as she coughed.
Unexpectedly, she had only taken a couple of breaths when she could feel that something was amiss, quickly turning around to see a man lunge a large sword right at her. He was a man of large stature. In his hands was a greatsword, one that he was barely able to use while imbalanced in the water.
At present, his hands that held the great sword were trembling while nerves protruded out from them, alarmingly so as they turned red, becoming violent, slowly blackening. The blood vessels ruptured upon wielding an equipment of the cultivators as a mortal. He hadn't even realized that he had become a mortal, focusing on slashing his opponent apart first.
The change in his state from a cultivator to a mortal caused his swing to go haywire, missing the lady as it cut into the water. The generated force and the momentum carried by the great sword pulled his body into the water, its weight beyond what he could control.
Moreover, the blood vessels on his arms erupted, spilling forth blood like a torrent. Eventually, it dawned on him as he let go of the great sword, intending to surface when a pair of legs landed on his back, one on his hip and the other between his shoulders, pressing him down.
It was the woman that did that, balancing herself accordingly over him, shifting her weight with enough dexterity that the man was unable to move up. He was already out of breath, and no matter which way he tried to move up, she constantly maintained herself over his back, pushing him down.
She had long, fiery hair tied up into a bun on her back. Her marble-like skin was riddled with injuries while she had lost a couple of her fingers. Even though she was a phenomenal beauty, her current appearance was manic at best, oozing with bloodlust.
Her pearl-like eyes shifted around, noticing a couple of figures paddle towards her, having identified her. She unsheathed her dagger, one that she had become accustomed to wielding in the past few years after arriving on the God Realm.
Though, at the very moment she grabbed it, intense pain assaulted her as the nerves on her hand protruded, on the verge of bursting. Having recalled what happened to the man that held the greatsword, she quickly plunged it into the water, impaling it into the back of the man struggling within.
Out of breath, bleeding hands, and now a stab on his back with an item of the cultivators that mortals weren't allowed to touch. Unsurprisingly, he immediately died. Blood gushed out his body, dyeing the water around her red.
The couple of people that were swimming towards her saw the figure of the man of large stature surface and float just like corpses did. They immediately screamed, "That scummy Feifei betrayed us and killed the boss."
"Avenge the boss!"
Upon seeing their arrival, her eyes didn't seem disturbed, placing her hand on the back of the man she had killed. She was ready to pull out the dagger at a moment's notice to attack. At present, that dagger was like a potent poison to everyone in the area, so she planned to do exactly that.
Even as a cultivator, using equipment beyond a certain stage above their cultivation base would harm them. And now, as a mortal, any equipment a cultivator used would straight up kill them in a matter of seconds.
The two people were only 10 meters from her when Feifei noticed a black shadow swim in the ocean above. Only now did she notice it, becoming shocked at the fact that there was an entire ocean above her.
Though, she didn't have time to marvel at the fact, grabbing hold of the man's corpse as she paddled back with all her strength, watching the massive shadow above approach the surface, make a tiny leap, and plunge into the ocean below.
It seemed similar to a squid but sported a massive mouth in place of its head, inside it filled to the brim with sharp teeth. It spanned a length of 20 meters, a behemoth. Unsurprisingly, it clamped on the two people, passing just before Feifei as one of its ten eyes shot open, glaring at her.
In reflex, she took out the dagger from the man's corpse, and before it completely passed by her, she plunged it into its body. The dagger easily pierced its body, getting lodged in its flesh until the hilt.
Upon seeing that the creature wouldn't leave her alone, she acted the moment a chance presented itself before her, using the property of the dagger. Even though her hand began to bleed a little from holding the dagger once again, she smiled as the creature screamed, flailing in pain as the nerves in its body protruded.
Five seconds later, it surfaced, bleeding profusely, dying in a matter of seconds. And at the same time, its blood touched Feifei, being absorbed by her. This caused her to scream in pain that was akin to getting doused by boiling water.
Ten seconds later, she lay weakly on the water, floating aimlessly as her body touched the floating carcass of the creature. She somehow managed to climb up to its top and plopped on it, gasping for air now that she didn't need to paddle in the water anymore.
She looked at the dagger positioned next to her, lodged into the creature's body, chuckling as she muttered, "Hah, that was fun."
Upon feeling something, she thought of summoning a certain object in her, frowning, slowly muttering, "Come out! Open! Arise! Reveal! Tablet!"
After a couple of minutes of futile effort, she sighed, massaging her forehead when the dot on her glabella activated, materializing into the tablet that fell on her, suffocating her. When she tried to move it, her fingers touched it twice during the struggle, making it retreat to her glabella.
After experimenting with it for some time, she figured out the gist of it, now looking at the row of words displayed on it. "Killed one Staunch Predator: 1 Godly Point obtained."
She then read the second line, frowning as she muttered in curiosity, "Obtained Passive: Staunch Bloodlust?"
"Well, that's weirdly convenient." She looked at the ocean above her, noticing a couple of fishes swimming within shudder upon meeting her gaze.
After some time passed in such a fashion, she sighed with a forlorn expression. "We shouldn't have separated at the start. This God Realm is a lot different from what we have been told."
…
"Shit…shit…shit!" Krune continued to sprint at his maximum speed, exhibiting maneuvers one would see used in parkour as he skittled from one place to another, swerving through numerous bone trees and other boulders that acted as obstacles. Only after he ran for a distance of 400 meters and was exhausted did Krune stop, hiding behind a boulder as he rested, recalling the scene he had witnessed.
The mutating bone tree had grown to a height of 10 meters, turning into a massive bone tree. And while growing, it had eaten up the other bone trees surrounding it. With every bone tree it ate, it produced a special fruit on its stem. But unlike others, this fruit was half the size of a person. Moreover, a single glance was enough to see that it was humanoid in shape, as if the fruit was conceiving a life within it, one that was humanoid.
Though, just this alone wouldn't have made Krune run away like that. Rather, the cause was positioned 200 meters further away. It was a group of Monster Geckos, numbering almost a couple hundred.
And, leading them was a Monster Gecko that was twice the size of others, hulking the group. Spanning a height of 4 meters, it possessed ripped muscles that screamed with power. Resting on its shoulders was a massive fishing rod, possessing the same circumference as Krune's leg.
Attached to its thicker thread was a hook shaped like a dagger. It was almost 20 centimeters in length. Just its appearance alone was enough to prove that it was a mutant among them.
Though, it didn't seem to be the leader of the group, rather acting subservient, despite displaying its dominance from time to time. After all, positioned further away from it was another Monster Gecko that was similar to it.
And finally, seated at the back of the group, on a throne made from bones of vicious sea fishes, was a gigantic creature, spanning a height of 5 meters. Its throne was carried by the joint effort of 20 Monster Geckos that squeaked from time to time under the weight whenever the gigantic Monster Gecko shifted its body.
Monster Gecko King!
Just the sheer presence it exuded was enough for Krune to determine its identity. Moreover, when he scouted them using his Sonic Radar, even though the others were flustered, unable to zone in towards the source due to the echoes, the two mutants and the Monster Gecko King simultaneously turned their heads, facing Krune.
That was why he bolted from the place immediately, sprinting at his maximum speed. Moreover, to prevent them from approaching the area his cave was located, he ran off in a different direction.
It seemed the Monster Geckos had a priority to destroy the mutated bone tree or something along the lines. After all, when running, he was making sounds to keep track of his surroundings, and all along, he didn't find any Monster Gecko chasing after him.
Upon seeing that his surroundings were safe, he gasped for air, drinking the water he had prepared. After he had calmed down, he shuddered at the thought of having to face the three for Godly Points. After a moment, he sighed, chuckling helplessly as he muttered, "It won't be easy defeating something that powerful."
Once he gathered his bearings, Krune intended to head somewhere else when he noticed something approaching him rather quickly. Immediately, he realized that the opponent had managed to locate his position.
Considering its speed of approach and its sheer size registered in his Sonic Radar, Krune knew that the Monster Gecko King had dispatched one of the two Mutant Monster Geckos to track him immediately.
"Damn it." Krune rolled on the ground as something sharp landed on the rock he was hiding behind, cracking it. Now, he had no other choice but to face the mutant Monster Gecko.
"Aaaah!" Followed by a resounding scream, a woman plunged into the ocean water. She gagged, swallowing the ocean water without control as she flailed erratically. She kicked the water like a paddle, eventually gaining control of her body as she surfaced, gasping for air as she coughed.
