Odyssey To Dominion

Chapter 22: 22. Abyssal Magic



Nytri had gotten stronger, the time since she was living in the crack had passed, with no concept of time (Barely 5 years old), she didn't know how long she has been in the dungeon. She was on a floor that had water making up majority of the floor with earth platforms, this was a boss room as the monster that ruled this floor and the upper floor was a 3headed serpent with thick scales and 4 eyes on each head, it was a water monster as it could swim, it had dark blue scales over it as its length was 30metres, it had an aura around it. This ferocious monster was blinded and rampaging it the room as it was poisoned and had thick spears poking its eyes and making opening on its backs, the spears were like a really long funnel as poison would fall into the funnel spear and damage the boss of this floor.

Nytri was hanging on the roof about 100metres high, not necessarily hanging but she had made a ledge of hard webs and her legs were dangling as she watched the monster that should have no problem squishing her. Nytri had recovered as only 2 scars could be seen on her face, with her having slit eyes which helps her aim, aim at the spear funnels and throw poison into them whenever the boss monster recovered. She touched her face feeling the scars which was on her left cheek to the chin and the neck down to her chest, as for clothes….. Let's not go there.

Nytri appraises herself, (She couldn't speak yet due to her throat still being damaged from the acid)

Serpa is the strongest monster on this floor as its would be enough to wipe out an adventurer party of A rank with this dungeon already has its difficulty being quite high. And this same monster, boss of this floor was in a miserable state as hardened web spears like funnels were poking it as it was blinded and was constantly fed with poison. How did this happen?

A FEW MOMENTS EARLIER

Nytri was walking in the dungeon, unaware she moving to the lower floors since everything felt like travelling across a flat plain with not stairs or any kind. "There seems to be light ahead." Nytri was walking towards a doorway that had light and it brightened the path, this was the first time Nytri saw light in the dungeon. As she was moving, she had a smile on her face and jogged towards the light, Nytri had been through a lot as enough time for her face to heal has passed leaving only 2 scars, her hair had grown longer to her waist due to the kind of 'food' she was eating, she had marks across her body but they seem to have been scratches only as she had gotten a healing skill and was recovering. She was dusty but she did the best to tidy herself in such a place, her eyes was now that of a predator as her black eyes had slits through it which were white in color, her nails were long and hardened into claws as now she could cut metal.

Her jog turned into running and she ran to the light, she jumped with her arms stretched wide as she was in the air, her eyes which had tiny veins all over it finally reacted to the light, "MY EYES! MY EYES!" she fell on the earth platform and was rolling around. A Fish monster jumped out of the water….. into her mouth and she bit its head off and swallowed, this fish was like a piranha. Her eyes were closed as more fish monsters started to gather around her and snake monsters could be seen, "I didn't see this thing but it's tasty, more are coming. I don't know how to fish so I guess poison is the only way, but poison tastes spicy." She opens her mouth as poison gathers on her tongue, she spits it to her right into a fish that had opened its mouth to bite her, "At least these foods can't handle the spicy taste, anyway I should dodge these things."

She ducks as the monsters jump over her and she uses her sharp claws to slice and dice 'em while snacking on them, she would spread poison in the air and the monsters would inhale and be paralyzed when they jump and she would slice them up. A big fish was approaching as it jumped out of the water, "BIG FISH!" her eyes sparkled as she jumped to catch the fish which had become paralyzed due to her poison and started to chew on it with a hearty smile as the other fishes died from the poison. The poison was colorless.

Once she was done, she heard a loud hiss, "A big one is coming, might be a snake." She was snacking on a dead snack, the water rumbles as a giant 3 headed snake appears serpent with thick scales and 4 eyes on each head, it was a water monster as it could swim, it had dark blue scales over it as its length was 30metres, "Abyssal serpent?! This thing is strong, it's looking at me, huh, its mouths are open? CRAP!" she jumps into the water as a water jet passes at her previous location, she had gained the ability to swim from her maneuverability skill so she jumped out the water onto another platform the next moment, "This thing could have killed me, hmmm *It turns to her and repeats the attack as she jumps into the water again* It seems to aim with its eyes, if it can't see me, it can't hit me." A devilish grin appeared on her face.

 

The serpent fired another water jet it was imbued with abyss energy which dealt damage over time, surprisingly, this monster never hit Nytri. She jumped from platform to platform circling around the monster while getting closer. The serpent hit the platforms with its tail hoping to get Nytri, Nytri timed the tail and evaded, "Now!" she uses her Web Control skill and tied the tail with her webs, it was able to hold the snake down for a bit, just enough time for her to run over it to its middle face. Nytri ran over its body and jumped, she was right in front of the snake, it opened its mouth about to fire another attack. "Not this time!" she makes a net of webs and throws it to its mouth stopping it from firing, Nytri makes hard web spears and pierces 2 eyes on its middle head, she moves quickly with the Body Enhancement skill and makes another set of spears piercing the next 2 eyes and its middle head was blinded. This is when the snake responded by shaking her off its head, unfortunately for the serpent, Nytri landed on its back again, "Next up, the right one."

She runs up its back again and jumps and lands on the right head, she uses her skills again and pierces the all the eyes on the right head quickly before she is thrown completely off the snake, the snake rampages in pain, then turns to Nytri who was in the water, she was swimming towards a platform and the snake charged towards her, "This thing is good in water but I'm not, how do I avoid this?" Speed Data Processing activated as her thinking speed increased by 4times, "Got it, webs." She makes a web like a big fishing net and uses it to climb beneath the net as the snake's head entered the web as she held on to it and it pulled her along for a ride, she can't breath underwater so when the snake swam up out of the water and down in to the water, Nytri let go and landed close to a platform, she got on it before the snake turned around.

It looks at her in rage and Nytri stares back at it, she turns back and wiggle her butt while pulling on her lower eyelid down with her tongue stuck out, she couldn't speak but her thoughts were, "Nyah, nyah, nyah, you can't get me." She continues with her dance as the serpent is enraged and charges towards her, "Charging at it would be awesome, but I don't wanna die." She got to the other end of the platform and used it as a shield, the snake rammed its head into the platform and stopped, "Huh, it couldn't break it, then change of plans." She jumps back to the platform and sees the snake with its mouth open about to fire, "Eerrr, ah." She makes a spear again and throw it to the head, the snake reacted by instinct and stopped its attack and raised its head, "So, you fear losing another eye even though your middle head has no eyes." She threw a web around the middle head and left the ground with the head, she turns to the left head and jumps as the serpent let out a confused hiss, "HISS?"

She made spears and stabbed into 2 eyes and stabbed another spear into 1 of the eyes leaving another for it to see her, "Well if it doesn't see me, it'll run around making it hard for me to hit it. I'll let it keep this eye till I finishing beating it." She jumps off the head onto a platform as the serpent hisses in pain. It has 3 heads with 4 eyes each making 12 eyes but currently it only has 1 eye, it was angry so angry that the water around it was boiling… no that was a skill, "Another thing with this thing." She jumps to another platform and keeps her distance as a wave spread around the serpent and in 40metre radius, Nytri was far from it before it reached that 40metre radius as it destroyed what remained of her person, "That was close, I guess that's the end of my clothes."

She watched the snake as it was releasing wave after wave, the wave was boiling the water and the platforms around the snake became covered with an aura as they fell apart, "I have to kill it somehow but it won't fall so easily." She makes a large spear and starts to plant them into the platforms. The spear was hollow on the inside but was strong enough to penetrate a tank.
