According to the information [Blood Panel] and my brain during "full concentration mode" made, the reason why I was the only one that could see Liand was because of the senses only I, as Crynosphere, had. Normal Vampires, and most creatures wouldn't have the 12 senses I have, and I didn't even have them until I channeled Arisa's soul into mine. Sushi told me about my 12 senses before, but I couldn't use them because I was still "Vixen Corr", or in my completely human form.
Almost all of my abilities were present even when I didn't even know about them because of my [Sense of Past and Future]. But most of them would come in incomprehensible form, which meant that they wouldn't have any use until I manage to acquire them in the future. That's why me and Sushi were having trouble trying to understand my stats that time. If I meet Rintan, or Sushi again, I'll definitely ask her to tell me about my status. I wonder what kind of things I'll have in the future.
As I was sitting before Tahgweiy and Zeira, thinking about the things Liand said, Zeira then stopped her conversation to speak with me instead. But I only noticed her after realizing that there's a campfire burning normally in front of me, even though we're in a blizzard right now. I didn't know how it worked, but I guess it just worked somehow.
"Hey! You awake yet? Zeira's been quite annoyed by your behavior for a couple hours now! If you got any worries, you oughta apologize and talk to Tahgweiy more, that girl's been gettin' depressed because of ya!"
"W-what!? Don't worry, Rireith, I'm not mad at you or anything! This dumb little bug just likes saying things without any thought at all!"
Well. It's obvious that she's been getting worried since I met Liand. I can't blame her, to them, it must've looked like I've been acting differently after freezing in place for no reason at all. Also, I'm still in my "full concentration mode". The aftereffects of this will be annoying to deal with, so I'll have to do the things I wanted to do before going back to my "normal" form again. One of the main reasons why I don't have perfect memory, or most of my 12 advanced senses and whatevers all the time, is because it's pretty damaging to my brain and mental health. I feel like I'm going insane or something when I can see everywhere, the past, the future, the 4th dimension, the astral plane, and the strange otherworldly places around me all at once. I can comprehend all of it, but it still gives me a lot of worries for some reason.
Whilst I was still deep in thought, Zeira landed on me and proceeded to put her hands on her hips.
"May you give Zeira some time, Vixenn?! I have but one really important question for ya!"
"What might you ask, little one?"
"Geh..! Don't speak like that, please. It makes me feel embarrassment..! Ahem ahem. Anyways. A-as a female vampire, or as someone like you, whenever you're on that t-time of the month, do you just use all of that blood to do your strange blood magic thingamajigs?"
I knew a bug like her wouldn't be able to ask authentic questions. I don't even bleed from those types of things, even when I was weaker. After all, I did have my regenerative abilities since I was born.
"Dumb question, little bug. Don't you dare ask me such stupid questions ever again."
Tahgweiy then put down the food she was eating, and spoke to defend Zeira.
"Fufufu! Don't be so serious, Rireith! I was just wondering the same thing as well!"
"You should knew then, that I don't just bleed like that. If that does happen somehow, I won't use that blood to do Blood Magic, obviously."
"Kah-kah-kah! You still fell for it and answered the question!"
Sigh... What annoyances. I can't concentrate like this. These guys are being a bit of a problem, and the blizzards around us doesn't help either. I made a ton of conclusions, but that particular one about the Blood God's place of resurrection seems to be the most accurate and most likely one. I used the mathematics of this world, which was quite similar to Earth's, to solve that problem. The "Advanced Problem-Solving Procedures" were taught to people in schools, and it's meant to be used for situations like that, so I figured I might as well just use it since I can do it easily in this mode, and I'm really glad I did. The only problem now is how we'll get back on Earth, since we'll have to go back to the Demon Realm for sure.
I'll leave those problems later. We must find a way out of this place without freezing to death just like Liand. After making more calculations and casting some spells, I managed to get a view of a possible escape.
There was a temple not too far away from us, and it seems like getting there won't be too difficult. I can sense some Bloodlust there as well, but it's pretty faint and it doesn't look like anything actually dangerous is around us. Along the way, we talked about why this place was orange, and we figured that it might be because of the Bloodlust Forest, colouring the ice and snow red, but somehow it all turned orange.
After we arrived at the temple, we immediately began searching around for something that might help us get out of this place. I think I saw a hidden pathway leading outside of this frozen area, but whenever I try to look again, I see nothing. We looked around for a while, until everyone got tired, so we took a rest inside the abandoned temple. The temple worshipped the "God of Peace and Harmony", also known as the god "Clyauyzyth". There weren't anything that caught my eye, except for the many religious items placed around the temple.
"Whilst we're still resting here, why don't we talk about something interesting, alright? Tahgweiy, all of your books were destroyed in that volcanic eruption, right? How're you gonna spread the tale of the great White now?"
"Hmmm... I heard there's a magical device called the 'Telecommunicator Device' that lets you say anything to people telepathically. It's rumored that the Demons are in possession of it, but nonetheless, I'll try my best to find it and tell everyone about my story!"
The Telecommunicator Device? Her explanation seemed a bit too simple, but I think I know of a similar device that had the same functions. The Demons used it back in the 9th Polar Heaven, inside that huge chamber in the Magical Scientific Research facilities.
"Tell me more about that device."
"Huh? Uuuu! It's rare to find you asking me for more!"
"Don't say it like that, okay..? But yeah, I need to know about this Telecommunicator Device thing. Whilst I was in the Demon Realm, the Demon Lord personally used a similar device to tell me, and possibly everyone in Cvvoer that they would all be destroyed in 20 years starting from that time."
"Telecommunicator Device huh..? I've only heard about it a long time ago, it's obvious that the Demons were constructing many superweapons with the help of their allies from Earth, one of them was the Telecommunicator Device. It was said that this superweapon uses a specific form of magic and amplifies it to spread it into every consciousnesses, or souls, that it can get to. It's not particularly a dangerous device, but with one specific spell, it'd be possible to kill everyone on this planet..."
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
That's terrifying! But I see how it can be used now. Rabbit told me about a man from the Great Catastrophe, and he was not an ordinary man, he had a unique ability that allowed him to be able to control the minds of others, psychologically, physically, and magically. He was one of the most horrifying figures back in the Great Catastrophe just right behind Frillet Tofan, the hero. With only a simple command, or order, all that heard him would obey without even knowing it. Rabbit told me that had the "Mind Control" ability. But then something more dangerous arrived to defeat him, despite his extremely powerful ability. No one knew who defeated him, some even think that he just got old and passed away undefeated.
"Yeah. There was a ability called 'Mind Control' that lets the user control every mind that can hear their orders. You participated in the Great Catastrophe, or the Great Apostasy, right? Maybe you've heard of the user of this ability before."
"Ummm... While it is true that I was around during the Great Apostasy, I've never heard of such an ability before... But maybe you're right, that kind of ability would be needed for the Telecommunicator Device to be put into effective use."
How strange. Tahgweiy, or the Tale of the Great White, is a really important figure in the Great Catastrophe. For her to not even know of the ability itself... She's also an agent of the Baphomet, they should know something about such a game-changing ability. Rabbit didn't tell me the name of the user, so I'll have to find it out, maybe I'll get even more clues if I do that. There's also a possibility that the user was just like Liand. When the spirits who have taken a liking to them goes away, their entire concept and existence goes away as well.
Whilst we were resting, I managed to figure out more things while I was still deep in concentration. The reason why Liand disappeared to everyone wasn't just because of the spirits leaving his body. I dug more into my brain, and found out that when I was still much more younger, in my hometown, Prilnòset, my friend, Zen Swytmnyt, had a disease that was very similar to Liand's case. The disease was called "Fairful Bite", it destroyed the victim's body by eating away their vital organs. It's mostly fatal, but there have been some who've lived to tell the tale. Before, I wasn't so sure she actually had that, but now that I have all these abilities, it's certain now; she was in the 1st stages of the disease. No one thought much of it, and I never received much letters from my hometown, so I never knew until now.
Fairful Bite and that strange field that surrounded Fiya, Yeshua, and Liand, are pretty much the same. They eat the victim internally, leaving them out of the real world. The disease itself is pretty normal, like those deadly diseases on this planet. But the survivors suffered the same abnormal things; loss of presence and 3rd dimensional existence. Yeshua, and Fiya... They have probably experienced the same thing Liand experienced back in the salt mines already.
Since Zen was suffering the earlier stages of the disease that time, not much happened to her except for a little headache. After I left the town, she must've passed away, at least in the eyes of everyone but me. If they all didn't want me to be sad, then there's no way that they'd tell me about her after I just left. Even I'd get depressed if I was told that she has just fallen victim to such a deadly disease. But now I know, instead of becoming lifeless, Zen entered the stage where she no longer existed in most people's eyes.
Well. There're still some chances that she actually didn't make it, but it's more likely that she's still alive, and if she is, then I'm sure Zen has been following us all this time, along with Liand... She must've been the one who took Liand's arm. I'm not sure what happened, but it's not a stretch to say that they got into an argument around the time I was throwing utensils, and began fighting each other, leading to them getting split up. It makes the most sense because Zen and Liand would be the only ones left without getting teleported or anything. Zen must've wanted to meet me for help, just like Liand. But I'm not really sure if Zen will need me alive to help her though...
We're still heading for the Temporal Spatial Pyramids while trying to find the Demon Lord's castle. We shouldn't waste any more time in here, even if someone familiar is around. I don't think we'd need Zen for this journey.
Suddenly, I realized something about my abilities while looking down at the snow... There were ants on the ground!
"Woah..! I didn't know that white ants existed in this world!"
"Well. Now you know. They're called the freezing ants, or the exploding ants. Cool thing about them; once they find anything with folate, they convert it into gunpowder and blow it up, warming the place and calling out the rest of their guys!"
Yes. I was right. My spells, [Drone Prop Attack] and [Heaven's Model], are spells Manta took from these ants! I'm not sure how they did it, but they did. It's much more powerful than what these ants can do, but it's still the same abilities. Also, since these ants are here, then that must mean that we're in the northern regions now. Manta also told me about angels who come down on these types of places, causing a tear in reality. The ants must've gotten these abilities because of those angels a long time ago. But if I'm lucky, I might be able to find the hole that Manta was talking about. It was really small last time we talked, but now, how big will it be?
I got up from the temple after taking a few items with me. Zeira followed while Tahgweiy stayed behind, telling me that she had something to do before catching up. We looked around, and soon enough, we found a mysterious individual.
Walking out from behind a huge ice spike was a woman with a psychotic smile, wearing baggy pants for martial arts, and a tight, black, long-sleeved shirt under a loose-fitting white T-shirt. She had short dark hair, and was holding a knife stained with blood. Without a doubt, it was Zen Swytmnyt, the person who taught me most of my fighting techniques. She might be strong, and skillful, but I'm still overwhelmingly stronger than her.
"You met him before his death, didn'tcha? Surprised to see you see me, Vixen Corr..."
Both Zeira and Tahgweiy couldn't see her, or even sense her in any way. Thanks to my senses though, I'm able to see and hear her. I'm also currently in my full health, mentally and physically. There's no way I'd lose, if she tries to attack me. Why would she even attack me? I'm assuming that she and Liand got into an argument and fought each other. The winner is obvious, but why did they fight? What ard they trying to accomplish here?
"I'm sorry, old friend. But the reason why I've lived is because of the Demons. They told me you were a massive threat to both mankind and demonkind, so I'm only doing what's right for everyone here."
"Why? Who told you? I can defeat you within mere seconds. This is not a threat, this is a warning. Don't make me do this, Zen Switamen."
"You think so..? I didn't just come here without a plan. I didn't follow you from that mountain, only Liand did. It was no coincidence you guys got caught up in this winter hell. Did you really think I'd even lay my hands on such filth?"
Huh? What is she talking about? She knew about us, and where we were going? Who the hell told her? Demons? Have they figured me out already? This is bad...
In an instant, snow blew up from where Zen was standing at, and then she appeared in front of me with her knife over her shoulder, prepared to strike me with powerful force. I jumped back to avoid the attack, but she already predicted it and dashed behind me, throwing another attack, forcing me to jump again. She followed up with more slashes but I managed to avoid all of them, as they were too slow to even do damage to me. But what she was aiming for wasn't me. She was luring me to her trap, which was actually the hole the angels made in the past.
I immediately took the situation seriously by grabbing her neck. The wormhole would lead into another place, far away from here, where plants and greenery are present. My body can still get cut up by that medium-sized hole though, since it's not big enough for me to fit through. Was that her plan? Shoving me into a portal in an attempt to hopefully destroy me? As I looked back at her, I saw her eyes filled with victory, and I could sense her Bloodlust slowly disappearing.
She stabbed my arm multiple times before kicking me with both of her legs, throwing me towards the hole.
The next thing I knew, I was facing the skies, where cold and snowy winds were blowing harshly. I felt my enormous supply of Magical Energy rapidly decrease until almost nothing remained. Under me was the bare ground, it was without snow or anything in particular. It was difficult to find or even move half of my body. Most of my senses have shut down. But with all the strength I still had, I managed to keep my eyes opened, just so I could see a glimpse of my body with the upper part gone, from my left shoulder, down to my right elbow.
Am I just the upper part now? My arms have been scattered around the place, and my blood is still running out of my body.
Was that quantum entanglement?
Anyways. Enough random nonsensical calculations. At this rate, I might actually die.
