The Wizard World - The Gate (2)
The Gate (2)
*BAM*
The hoofed man hit Angele’s fist hard with a thunderous sound, then took several steps back after the impact. His face turned pale and he was breathing heavily.
Angele’s hair hit the other hoofed man’s body; however, it felt like hitting a large piece of thick iron, and the hoofed man did not take any damage after being slowed down.
*BAM*
Angele’s chest took a hard strike, causing blood to spurt out of his mouth. However, he made use of this opportunity to grab the hoofed man’s neck, twisting it to the left.
*KA*
The man’s head turned 180 degrees and it seemed like he was killed.
*NAA*
The other man saw it and started roaring; his voice sounded like that of a goat. It seemed like he was preparing for the next strike, and he indeed charged toward Angele right after releasing the roar.
Angele leaned to the side and hit the man with the black spike on his elbow.
*CHI*
The spike stabbed into the man’s face and pierced through his brain.
*PA*
The last hoofed man fell to the ground.
Angele stretched his back, then looked at the two hoofed men on the ground and scrunched his eyebrows.
“I wouldn’t have taken any damage if I’d already got used to my true form…” He turned around and looked at the bald farmer before finishing the sentence.
It seemed like the farmer was not disturbed by the battle. He just started to hoe the ground after Angele moved away.
Angele was not concerned. He walked to the two hoofed men’s dead bodies and crouched.
He touched the wound on one of the men’s face and sent some of the white blood into his mouth.
It was sour and bitter. The blood had a fragrance of durian, but the biochip showed no sign of bacteria.
‘Create an analysis task and compare the results. Tell me if it’s similar to the blood of any creature in the database,’ Angele ordered in mind.
‘Task created. Analyzing the blood sample…’
A hologram of a standing hoofed man appeared in Angele’s sight and started spinning slowly. Rows of data were being refreshed under the hologram.
Angele was concerned about the progress of the analysis and decided to focus on the two dead bodies.
He checked the two hoofed men’s pockets, but there was nothing inside. He then pulled the edge of their clothes lightly.
*CHI*
The clothes on the two men’s bodies were torn apart easily and their naked bodies were exposed to the air.
The body of a hoofed man was weird; the man had no genitals, and the bottom half of his body was just a black donkey hind leg that was covered with hair. Angele thought that it was a man just by looking at his face.
The only difference between the hoofed man and a normal human being was the bottom half of his body.
‘Analysis completed, display results?’ Zero reported back.
‘Yes,’ Angele agreed.
‘New file created: Donkey Giant.’
‘Strength 36.2, Agility 11.3, Stamina 21.7, Mentality Unknown. Bloodline comparison result: Ancient Donkey Giant.’
‘Ancient Donkey Giant: No detailed data. Talent Skill: Strong Reproductive Ability (a Donkey Giant can impregnate any creature). Note: If you meet one donkey giant, there will be more to come. Donkey giant usually doesn’t appear alone.’
The data from the biochip was regenerated from the wizard who left the voice message.
Angele’s expression changed as he heard the last sentence.
*NAA*
He heard the familiar roar from the far side.
Angele stood up and he was planning to retreat.
‘I should probably kill them all. Although the bloodline is not useful, I may be able to convert it into a rune.’ An evil thought somehow rose up in his mind.
However, he realized something.
‘I took damage from just two donkey giants. If they come in groups, I won’t be able to survive the fight. What was I thinking?’
Angele shook his head and stopped thinking. He grabbed the dead bodies and started leaving the farm.
He left an eye of fire in the air above the windmills.
After about half a minute, more than 100 donkey giants charged into the farm; they ignored the farmer and started to search for Angele.
Angele hid in the thick mist outside the farm and was monitoring the situation using the eye of fire. The giants had no way to track him down and they were just wandering around on the farm. They retreated as they did not find anything.
Peace returned to the farm and the eye of fire slowly disappeared into the air.
Angele was standing beside the stone gate on the beach. He had extracted all the white blood from the two dead bodies and turned it into a head-sized blood ball that was floating in the air.
The size of the blood ball was decreasing and there was white steam rising from its surface.
Angele reached into the blood ball with one of his fingers and the eyes on his brow closed, while the other pair of eyes was checking the surroundings constantly.
About three hours later, the floating blood ball turned into the size of a walnut.
Angele opened his mouth.
*CHI*
The blood ball flew into his mouth like a lightning and he swallowed it quickly.
Seconds later, his expression changed as he opened his eyes.
‘There’s not much this bloodline can do since it’s similar to the bloodline of the one-eyed giant, but it’ll increase my Stamina.’
He pressed his chest with the right hand.
Angele roared, his muscles started expanding again and his height increased from four meters to about five meters. The muscles of his balanced body were hard and strong.
He had already recovered from the damage he took earlier.
‘The bloodline of the donkey giant is useless. I wonder what the tiny windmill over the farmer’s head is. Sadly, it’s not related to any bloodline. I’ll name this area the Butterfly Farm; I should move on.’
The bloodline of the donkey giant barely contributed anything to Angele’s body—it increased his strength slightly, but it just felt like an appetizer of a meal.
Also, the bloodline of the donkey giant failed to improve Angele’s genes, most of its features were already in the bloodline of the one-eyed giant.
It was just a waste of time.
Angele’s situation was a bit complicated. The strong bloodlines of the one-eyed giant and the scorpion woman had already improved his genes to a different level. He needed to find the bloodlines that were at the similar level as the two high-level bloodlines he had.
It was impossible for him to find anything like that in the main world. There were barely any valuable bloodlines in the main world and he would have to kill countless creatures to find them. The Nightmare Realm was the best place for him to search at this point.
For some reason, Angele noticed that his thoughts had changed after stepping through the stone gate.
Some random thoughts would jump into his mind and they interrupted Angele’s normal thinking process.
Angele recalled the things that happened at the Butterfly Farm and assumed that it was an issue with the environment.
It seemed like something was interrupting the living beings’ thoughts on this side of the gate.
Angele took a deep breath. He wanted to embrace the chilling air and calm himself down. He could hear the rhythmical noise made by the waves.
He noticed that the noise made by the waves was following a specific pattern and never changed.
Narrowing his eyes, Angele walked to the sea and the waves hitting the beach. He glanced at the endless sea, but did not find anything.
‘Zero, record the noise made by the waves and analyze the frequency of the sound.’
‘Task created… Sound collected… Analyzing the frequency…’
Angele closed his eyes and focused on listening to the sound of the waves that was recorded by the chip.
*Swish Swish*
The rhythmical noise kept repeating.
‘Slow it down.’ Angele gave the order as his brow furrowed.
The sound slowed down immediately, but it still just sounded like a normal voice made by the waves.
‘Slow it down by 20 times.’ Angele did some calculation and gave the order again.
*Swish*
The noise finally changed, it sounded like the TV static.
‘Slow it down by 5 times.’ Angele’s expression changed.
*CHI CHII CHIII CHIIII*
Suddenly, Angele noticed something strange from the sound of the waves.
‘Slow it down by three more times.’ Angele thought.
*CHI CHII CHIIIII*
The noise made by the waves was gone, it sounded like a beast roaring.
The voice was making Angele anxious for some reason.
‘Alright, slow it down by 30 more times.’
The voice changed again after the biochip modified its speed.
“Help… Help us… Please… Help us…’
It was hoarse, deep, and slow voice that was mixed with some static. The voice sounded like it was recorded on a device and was extremely slow.
Goosebumps rose from Angele’s skin as he listened to the voice.
Angele looked at the sea and it seemed like there was something hiding under the water. He hesitated and started thinking.
