Chapter 1190 That Was Reckless

Author's Note: Unedited Chapter

-------------------

"Anyone would think they have arrived at the edge of the fourth disk if they saw this," Gustav muttered.

("Indeed... however, you and I are aware that there is something down there,") The system added. 

"It is pretty deep though," Gustav eyes squinted.

There was no way to tell if anyone was down there from this height but Gustav's intuition told him there was definitely danger and fortune at the bottom or at least on the way to it.

"You're not telling me everything again, right?" Gustav said with a suspicious tone.

("Since you already know how things are why do you still bother asking?") The system retorted.

"Tch," Gustav proceeded to step forward at this point.

Fwwhiiii~

His body began to rapidly fall through the air into the depths of the unknown.

Surprisingly as he descended, the darkness had reduced due to the glowing lines which he occasionally phased through during his descent.

However, mist became visible upon further descent which become denser and denser, impairing visual capabilities. 

The mist around him had become do dense that one couldn't even see their own body but Gustav's high perception made it so this wasn't a problem. 

Ten thousand feet~

Twenty thousand feet~

Thirty thousand feet~

Forty thousand feet~

Fifty thousand feet~

It felt like Gustav had been falling for ages but he didn't wish to increase his speed just yet because he was unaware of what to expect.

Hundred thousand feet~

Hundred and ten thousand feet~

Hundred and twenty thousand feet~

Hundred and forty thousand feet~

Hundred and sixty thousand feet~

Two hundred thousand feet~

Three hundred thousand feet~

As Gustav continued to descend, he began to feel moist. Usually the dense fog was enough to make one feel moist but this was different. 

lassshhh~

Gustav suddenly felt himself phase through a shower of liquid.

"Where did that come from?" He was still falling through the air so he was dumbfounded as to how liquid appeared in mid air.

As he fell further, he could feel drizzles on his body. His perception picked up on a floating waterfall far towards the east.

He was still very far from the bottom of wherever this led, yet a giant body of water was falling from midair.

Four hundred thousand feet~

Gustav kept falling but, the instant he crossed the two hundred thousand feet mark, he suddenly felt an intense pressure.

Thiiiihhhh!

His body began to fall faster like the gravitational laws had changed. An impending sense of danger assaulted his senses as his body got pulled further downwards.

He was falling four times faster than before...

At this point, Gustav finally decided to do something. 

[Hover Has Been Activated]

His body paused in mid air, defying the unexpected change in gravitational force. 

He could finally sense a kind of distortion thousands of feet below. 

"There's something wrong there..." Gustav grabbed a snack from his storage space and dropped it.

Fwwhiiii~

[God Eyes Has Been Activated]

His sight followed the snack as it dropped like a rock despite its small size.

When it reached the distance where Gustav sensed the distortion, the green colored snack turned monochrome before disappearing. 

"Hmm?" Gustav could see that he hadn't gotten to the bottom of this place.

In fact, it seemed like he was still a far distance yet the snack dissappeared instead of continous descent.

Gustav dropped another after moving a couple of feet towards the right and the same thing happened. 

("It's not transporting them to another dimension or anything,") The system voiced.

"Yeah I can tell... It doesn't give off any spatial energy. Whatever is down there instantly erased them from existence," Gustav muttered.

("Looks like you're not so dumb after all,") The system chuckled. 

"Wind, fog, rain, nothing can get past that point... and we still haven't arrived at the bottom," Gustav added.

His perception picked this up due to the wind, water and fog disappearing the instant they crossed that particular juncture. 

("What are you gonna do?") The system inquired. 

"It's pretty simple... I can still see beyond that point so it means that even if it has the capacity to erase things from existence, wind, rain, fog... seeing through means, it is unable to erase light. Most likely cos light is too fast," Gustav voiced lengthily. 

("You're not as fast as light though,") The system pointed out.

"True but I don't need to be that fast, I just need to be fast enough to move past that point before I get erased from existence. From the looks of things, its only a layer," Gustav explained.

("And do you know how fast you are meant to move or you're just gonna gamble with your live? I praised you too fast, you're still dumb,") The system stated with a tone of ridicule. 

"The gamble of death brings a certain thrill, doesn't it?" A smirk appeared on Gustav's face.

("Uh no, I am uninterested in engaging in such foolishness. Find me another host if you're seeking death,") The system yelled as it appeared in holographic format before Gustav.

"Hehe we're in this together," A mad expression of excitement appeared on Gustav's face causing the system's human but holographic look to pale.

[×2 Power Boost Has Been Activated]

[Ultimate Combination Has Been Activated]

Immense energy radiated from Gustav's being as he began to rapidly transform. His skin turning silverish and a hint of gold with long horns, muscular frame and pointy sixteen feet long tail.

Sshhshhshhh~

The fog surrounding him were swept away, restoring visibility to the vicinity. 

As the energy his figure exuded climbed to the peak, Gustav stared down and activated another ability. 

[Lightning Blitz Has Been Activated]

His figure turned into a streak of lightning that disappeared downwards in less than an instant.

Gustav had never Activated Lightning Blitz in this form before so the speed was like nothing he had ever reached.

Thrrrrrrriiihhzzhhhhh~

A loud sound of collision reverberated across the vicinity as the lightning strike turned a little pale when it reached a point below, before returning to its original color.

A small crack had appeared at that point but soon dissappeared afterwards.

Gustav had managed to cross almost two million feet in a single second. It was the fastest he had ever gone and although he was a little hindered when he arrived at the erasing layer, he managed to break past that point.

Fwwwhiii~ Thrraaahh~

Gustav returned to his initial state after reaching a particular distance down and stared at his surroindings.

("You lost an arm,") The system stated.

"It will grow back," Gustav responded with an unbothered tone ignoring the fact that he was currently missing a left arm.

("That was reckless,") The system nagged.

"I know," Gustav replied once more with an unfazed tone.

Looking aroud him now, he could see floating diamond like platforms in mid air all across the place.

The bottom of this location was still quite a distance away but Gustav could finally sense it with his perception. 

"Oh... it is packed," Gustav muttered with a tone of wariness.

("Yes, Frost Raikins are everywhere,") The system stated.

"More than that... there are other creatures that are not on the surface and... that place..." Gustav voiced while staring in a particular direction. 

From his current height, nothing could be seen downwards but with his perception, he was able to make out dark ridges, floating fiery moutains and frost mountains in different areas...

Caves as well as territorial regions where unknown looking creatures could be seen in droves. Going down there was like trying to commit suicide. 

It was practically an haven of monstrosities. The creatures numbered in hundreds of thousands and each one was incredibly dangerous.

Even the frost Raikins in the floating frosted mountains were very high leveled compared to one's on the surface.

This wasn't something Gustav just wanted to jump into, however...

"Now it makes sense why this place harbours so much danger," Gustav voiced as his sight focused on a particular item on the peak of a floating mountain.

("Ready made Viondur Eggs,") The system girly voice uttered.

"And there are numerous of them in this place... How come the handler never mentioned this," Gustav wondered but immediately had multiple theories appear in his mind which gave him the answers he needed.

One of the theories included how multiple participants would lose their lives if they came into contact with such a place after being aware that there were Viondur Eggs down here.

If there was a way to skip gathering seven colored eggs and heading to a designated point to make a single Viondur Egg, every one would be eager to try it out regardless of how dangerous it would be.

Gustav recalled one thing Hanlder One mentioned;

--------------------

"There are still a couple of mysteries but the rest will be left for you youngsters to uncover by yourselves,"

--------------------

Gustav decided to push all the unnecessary questions to the back of his mind for now as he focused on the main task ahead.

"I need to get some Viondur Eggs without being noticed or gathering as low attention as possible to myself," He stated.

Looking at the current situation, it seemed nearly impossible to get hold of any Viondur Egg without attracting the attention of the waves of monsters down there.
