Extra's Magic



Pluck...

As soon as the Demon plummeted to the ground, his body began to turn into ashes.

The ashes danced in the air, swirling and twirling like a dark storm.

Amidst those ashes, a black sphere rested, emanating an aura of Dark Mana that permeated the surroundings.

It was a Demon Core.

Well, I don't know about you, but I don't mind having another Demon Core...

Click...

Picking up the black sphere, I threw it into my Spatial Ring before slowly laying down on the ground.

Crack...

The Ice pillars around me shattered into thousands of pieces, but somehow I remained unscathed.

Even as the shards of ice fell all around me, glimmering in the dim light, I couldn't help but smirk.

I defeated another Demon~

Raising my bloody fist in the air, I clenched it tightly, feeling the adrenaline slowly leaving my body.

However, there was one thing that lingered at the back of my mind.

The very last the Demon spoke before I beheaded him.

'You are not a Human...'

Looking at the sky, I whispered the words to myself as if they were a secret only I could hear.

Did he say that because of my determination?

Or maybe it was because of my pain tolerance?

"..."

Why did he have to say something before dying!?

Now I'm left pondering what he meant.

Fucking Demon...

Cursing the fallen creature under my breath, I pulled out a Health Potion from my Spatial Ring and gulped it down, feeling its healing effect course through my body.

Slowly, my aching body became rejuvenated, the thing most people would call pain disappearing completely.

"Off to the next island..."

Looking in the distance I could see a few unexplored Islands floating in the sky, each one holding monsters that I would need to kill.

With a deep breath, I was about to take a step toward the Obsidian Chain leading to another island, when...

Clang...

My attention was drawn by the sound of loud metal clashing against metal.

Instantly my eyes were drawn toward the source of the commotion, the last island in my path. It was an enormous chunk of earth with massive cliffs and jagged rocks jutting out.

However, at this particular moment, it was not the landscape that caught my attention, but its movements.

It wasn't floating anymore...

It was falling!

Clang... Clang...

The Obsidian chain connecting it to the other Islands was creaking under pressure but slowly pulling the other Islands with it.

"Shit!"

However, I didn't plan to stand and just watch.

Swish...

I dashed to the opposite side, moving at the utmost speed with all my might, sprinting toward the Void that would lead me back to Earth.

Clang...

Jumping onto the obsidian chain leading toward the desert Island where I fought a Sand Dweller, I was forced to slightly steady my pace since I didn't want to fall into the Lava Ocean beneath.

Although the situation seemed dire, I forced myself to calm down as I slowly made my way across the chain with calculated steps.

Thud...

As soon as my feet touched the red sand, I dashed toward the other side of the island, hearing the loud rumbling of the falling islands behind me.I think you should take a look at

Clang...

As I was about to jump onto the Chain leading me to the Island with Lava Rivers, I felt the ground shake beneath me.

The ground shook violently beneath me, causing me to stumble and lose my balance for a moment.

Momentarily, I glanced behind me, to see that the Island where I just fought the Demon was already falling, pulling the one I was standing on down with it.

"Fuck..."

Without any further thought, I jumped onto the obsidian chain, feeling it swaying because of the shaking, but I couldn't care less at this point.

Whoosh...

For a moment, my world blurred, my instincts taking over and somehow managing to safely bring me to the other Island.

Tap... Tap... Tap...

Quickly, I leaped over the Lava Rivers and passed near the Lava Waterfall, reaching the chain that would lead me to the last island before the Void one.

Rumble...

The world around me shook and instinctively, I could feel the ground beneath my feet, slowly descending, which sent a jolt of electricity coursing through my veins.

I need to fucking leave this Island!

Whoosh...

I pushed forward, my muscles straining with each step. The air whipped against my face as I felt the Island sinking beneath me, the impending doom urging me to move faster. Sweat trickled down my forehead, mixing with the dirt and blood, but I ignored the discomfort.

Tap... Tap... Tap...

The rhythm of my footsteps echoed in my ears, drowned out by the deafening sound of destruction. The chain swayed violently, threatening to throw me off balance, but I held on, my determination unwavering. Every step was a test of my agility and focus, as I navigated the treacherous path towards safety.

Rumble...

The island behind me crumbled, fissures forming like veins in the earth. It was a race against time, and I knew I had to make it across before the chain snapped or the Island plummeted into the abyss below. Adrenaline surged through my veins, heightening my senses and sharpening my instincts.

I could see the next Island in sight, a distant beacon of hope. It felt so close yet impossibly far, a mirage teasing my weary mind. But I couldn't afford to doubt or hesitate. With each leap, I propelled myself forward, defying gravity and the imminent disaster behind me.

Swish...

The hot wind rushed past me, carrying with it the scent of ash and chaos. The world around me blurred, my vision fixated solely on the path ahead. Thoughts raced through my mind, fleeting glimpses of survival and determination. I could taste freedom, a sweet victory tinged with the bitter taste of danger.

Thud...

My feet landed solidly on the ground of the last Island, a wave of relief washing over me. I glanced back, witnessing the catastrophic collapse of the previous Island, devoured by the hungry void. I was safe for now, but the battle wasn't over yet.

"Shitty trees..."

Instead of finding a pathway to escape, I was met with crystal trees that blocked my way. Previously, I've made my way through the forest by exploding the trees, but it seems that they regrown within hours.

Well, it is time to use this...

Glancing down at my shoes, especially the right shoe that still had a rune inscribed onto it, I sighed, positioning myself as if I was about the jump.

Boom...

An explosion erupted from beneath me, propelling me upwards with a forceful blast.

The crystal trees glittered in the air as I soared above them. I clenched my fists, determination fueling my every move.

Whoosh...

Gravity pulled me back down, and I braced myself for the impact. I landed on the ground with a thud, the force jarring through my body. Pain shot through my legs as I felt the bones break upon impact, but I gritted my teeth and ignored the ache.

I couldn't afford to be hindered now, not when I was so close to escaping this collapsing realm. With a steely resolve, I swiftly reached into my Spatial Ring and retrieved my last remaining Health Potion. I uncorked it and drank the potion down, feeling its magical healing properties surge through me.

As the potion coursed through my veins, I could feel the broken bones in my legs shifting and mending themselves. The intense ache gradually subsided, replaced by a numbing sensation as the healing magic took effect. I took a deep breath, allowing myself a moment to let the mending process complete.

Once the bones were healed, I quickly adjusted my leg position to ensure they would set properly. I had no time for a full recovery; I needed to keep moving. The urgency of the situation spurred me on, pushing aside any lingering discomfort.

With renewed determination, I pushed myself back onto my feet, testing my weight on the healed legs. They held firm, and I exhaled a sigh of relief. I couldn't afford any more setbacks or delays.

The collapsing island continued to rumble and shake, a constant reminder of the impending danger. I focused my gaze ahead, scanning for the next path, the next opportunity for escape. Time was of the essence, and I couldn't waste a single second.

Pushing off with my strong legs, I sprinted forward, leaping over obstacles and avoiding crumbling sections of the terrain. The ground quivered beneath me, threatening to swallow me whole, but I pressed on, my instincts guiding me through the chaos.

Each step was fueled by determination, by the burning desire to survive. I couldn't let the pain slow me down; it was merely an obstacle to overcome. The knowledge that escape was within reach spurred me forward, adrenaline coursing through my veins.

Clang...

Going onto the last chain of the collapsing realm, I darted forward, my heart pounding in my chest.

Maybe I will survive...
