Chapter 5: 5-A Basilisk.
???Pov:
"Hey~ are you awake? If you are than respond to me~." Twilight said in a happy tone.
You Isekai-trucker. I want to be awoken by a cute and beautiful girl not by you, you crazy fuc-
"Hey~ hey hey~" Twilight continued.
"...h-ut uh-p" I said weakly.
Ah, man I worked so hard and trained day and night to speak normally but now...*Sigh*
As I felt the cold breeze of the night, my eyes started to quiver and after a little struggle, I was able to open them. What I saw shocked me to the core...
"Beautiful!" I said forgetting about everything that happened with me, the night sky looks so beautiful after all.
The dim light from bright stars twinkling, the shine of two moons, a cold but comfortable breeze every now and than...*Sigh*
In the past, I wanted to be a star. Even though it twinkles as if its about to disappear, it always shines bright in the night sky.
I wanted to be such a star but, with hardships of showbiz and failures in life, later getting killed and being experimented on, I got so busy that I never got a chance to properly admire it.
"Hey, Twilight. Can you tell me why you did that?" I asked him in a calm tone.
I am tired of all this, my mental health has deteriorated to the point where I am getting suicidal thoughts.
"What might you be talking about~" Twilight said in a teasing tone to annoy me but I didn't respond the way Twilight wanted.
I just looked at Twilight with a calm face and gave a small smile, before returning my attention to the stars once more.
*Sigh* I expected it...
"How long till we reach at our destination?" I asked him another question while still admiring the stars and night sky.
"Currently, we are at a small human town three thousand kilometres away from the faculty. If my calculations are right than it will take three more days."
Three more days, huh? Twilight seems disappointed from my expression and tone, well sucks to be you. *Sigh*
Great sage, can you check if I have some perception skill? Because in the middle of that battle, I was able to see far beyond what I could normally see but my head hurt like crazy.
«Answer. You have a skill called 'Dragon-eye'. It is a skill specifically for dragon race, after they evolve into a Arch-dragon stage.
It helps in perceiving things in a straight line. It enhances your vision and analyse and appraise your targets. Hiding something from 'Dragon eye' is extremely hard.»
It's a pretty useful skill, if you ask me. Now that it's out of question-
"Hey! You know, you are still naked. I won't say anything if its some weird kink of yours though." A voice said from below.
It was the red-head from before, he was inspecting my body with amaze and wonder.
"Wow, you truly don't have, either a pole or a hole." He said something that I want to forget about.
"Can you stop touching me there? Its not like I will get aroused or anything, so why are you doing that?" I asked him because he was touching me 'there'.
"Ku-fu-fu-fu You truly are interesting. Even though that was your first fight, you still did a good job and defeated it.
It was two times stronger than you, you know. But against all odds, you defeated it and after defeating it you absorbed it?" He said before starting to think something.
"Say, you have Unique skill 'Gluttony' right?"
How? How does he know about that?
"Ku fu-fu-fu fu! From your expression, I can say that I am right. To think you were recently born and you already have a Unique skill? Interesting." He said while grinning.
"Wait, you already have a Unique skill?!" Twilight yelled out loud. "Why did you not tell me about it? What was the name again? Yes, 'Gluttony'. From what I remember, its from Sin series right?" He asked while writing something on his notes.
"Yes, its the Unique skill version of Ultimate skill 'Beelzebuth'. It counters virtue of 'Knowledge', the Unique skill version on 'Raphael'."
Hmm, that's a new information. I can already guess the sins and virtues and them being counterparts from my past life but to think there was a skill system based on it? That's new. But, what's Ultimate skill?
"What's an Ultimate skill?" I asked them confused.
"Ah, yeah! I never told you about it. Ultimate skills are powers bestowed to you by the VOTW after you do something big or break your limitations.
It gives you the power to meddle with the laws of the nature and world. An Ultimate skill holder can only be defeated by another Ultimate skill holder." Twilight explained.
Great sage, find all the informations about it. I ordered Great sage to do something.
«Answer. Command accepted.»
"Ku fufufufu fu Listen here you half-ling." Red-head said to get my attention.
"Because you showed me a great show and entertained me. So, as a prise, I will teach you a skill that will help you in your current situation and in future." He said while grinning.
"Its a special skill created by demon kind for demon kind. Its called 'Material creation'" He said while creating a blade out of thin air. "It helps you create anything you want through your Megicules."
That's a very convenient skill!
"From your expression, I can say that you are interested." He said and I nodded twice in affirmation.
"Ku-fu-fu-fu!, Listen carefully because I won't explain again." He said while laughing and anticipating something, what though?
Great sage! I ordered silently.
«Answer. Command accepted. Recording every conversation from now.»
"You have to feel the Megicules inside your body and bring it outside while merging it with the world's energy. After doing that, you will have to start molding it into the object you want to create. Easy as that."
Twilight wanted to say something but he stopped him and started to look at me while grinning, anticipating something...?
"Now you try it."
Well if its that easy than I should be able to do it. I started trying and after a while, maybe a few minutes, I was able to sense something like a flow of water inside me. Is that Megicules?
It feels like I can see way too much at once. Ugh...Some thing's wrong.
[[Notice. Extra skill 'Magic sense' successfully acquired.]]
Ugh..Ahh! Not again! Great sage!
«Notice. Do you wish to synchronise Extra skill 'Magic sense' with Unique skill 'Great sage? Yes/No»
Yes! Do it fast! Ugh It hurts like hell.
«Notice. The synchronisation of Extra skill 'Extra skill 'Magic sense' with Unique skill 'Great sage' has completed. Now all the data will be transferred through 'Great sage'.»
Ugh..good.. This is the second time I felt my brain almost getting fried. Ugh great, now both of them are looking at me weirdly. I should probably focus on learning that skill of his.
Thinking that, I started to focus once more. After focusing for forty minutes I started to notice some changes.
....Hmm? For some reason I can now easily sense and control magicules. Is it because of that skill 'Magic sense'?
«Answer. Affirmative.»
Wow! Now I think, I can do it...yes...now try to bring it out and merge with world's energy. Thinking that, I started to focus on the flow of magicules around me and inside me. Now, mold- ugh, it failed.
Great sage, can you give me some assistance in Megicules control?
«Answer. Affirmative.»
Yes!...Hmm, now it feels even more easier to perceive and control the flow of magicules...now merge it and...carefully mold it...
[[Notice. Extra skill 'Material creation' successfully acquired.]]
Yes! I did it! I thought happily and looked at my hand in which, there was a small blade.
After that I looked towards those two and...
What happened? Why is Twilight shocked? Why is that Red-head grinning from ear-to-ear?
"H-how? How did you learn and acquired an extra skill within a few minutes? It usually takes years to acquire one and even the most talented will take months to get one. So, how did you acquire an extra skill in just a few minutes?"
Twilight was shocked and bombarded me with questions while the Red-head was still grinning.
"Ku fufufu fu! So my suspicions were true, huh? You learned and acquired an Extra skill in just a few minutes, it means you have an analytical skill as well. From the way and speed of analysis, it must be at a Unique level."
It was a trap! Now he knows that I have another Unique skill. I have to do something... Oh yeah!
"Well no, I don't have a Unique skill based on analysis but I did acquire an Extra skill called 'Magic sense' while trying to acquire 'Material creation'.
It was because of it, that I was able to perceive and control the Megicules in my surrounding."
I lied in hopes of trying to divert their attention from a Unique skill to an Extra skill.
"Ku fufufu! The first part was a lie but the later part was true. So, you also acquired another skill while trying to acquire 'Material creation' huh?"
Crap! How did he know that I lied?
"You must be wondering 'How did he know I lied?', right?"
....can he...?
"No, I can't read your mind. Its just, you let everything show on your face. Kwa-ha-ha!"
I have to hide my emotions properly or else I will give out all of my information and trump cards.
"Yo-you have two Unique skills?! TWO?!! A-amazing. You truly are a masterpiece, my masterpiece~" Twilight said while smiling madly and hugging himself.
"*Sigh* Okay! Yes, I do have it. Its called 'Great sage'. It allows me to analyse and assist in every task I do. I was born with it." I said while looking at Red-head with a poker face.
This time, I didn't lie. I just hid the most important information. I looked at red-head with anticipation and...I was successful!
"Now that its done, I would like to rest, as my mental health has severely deteriorated due to the last stunt you pulled." I said while looking at Twilight and changing the topic.
"Okay~ rest well~" Twilight said. I started to act as if I am asleep but not before creating a cloak from 'Material creation'.
It doesn't look good but its still doable. I can only create this with the level of mastery I have over that skill.
Great sage, run an analysis on my physical body and tell me about it's benefit and issues. I ordered this while acting as if I am asleep.
«Answer. Command accepted. Analysing the physical body... Successful.
Do you want a detailed report or a summarised one?»
For now, summarise it. I will hear the detailed report some other day.
«Report. Your body is created by hybridisation of six different races. It has-»
Wait! Is there a mistake? I remember Twilight saying, He only used five races.
«Answer. No mistakes detected. The report is correct.»
Hmm, so he used another race but in secret huh?
«Continuing Report. Your physical body has several benefits such as high durability, high adaptability and high performance rate.
Due to using a combination between Arch-dragon and High-human as a foundation for medium and getting traits from other essences used to make your spiritual body, it also has an angelic and a demonic wing alongside the dragonic ones.
Because of using Arch-angel and Arch-demon for spiritual body, you are highly compatible with Light and Dark element as well as Fire and Space elements.»
Okay wait! I understand about light and dark elements but what about other two?
«Answer. Due to using Arch-dragon from fire affinity as a foundation for body, you also got a good affinity for fire and because of individual Twilight using their own cell to make your spiritual body, you got affinity for space.»
Oh, so that's why huh? But Twilight must be strong to catch an Arch-dragon and use it as a medium.
«Continuing Report. Due to being of unknown origins, the sixth race cannot be identified. It needs more information for analysis.»
An unknown race huh? Should I ask him? Nah, I know he will say something annoying to distract me plus to ask him that, I will have to tell him that I was just acting asleep...
*Sigh* Let's keep quiet for a bit, we will discover about it one day or another.
«Notice. A tracking spell discovered on your spiritual body.»
As soon as I heard this, I got angry at Twilight but calmed myself down so I wouldn't reveal my acting.
Can you... remove it?
«Notice. Analysing the spell...»
«Notice. Due to the spell being of higher grade and power, analysing it might take a long time.»
How long to be precise?
«Answer. Analysing the tracking spell might take fifteen days and coming up with a counter measure will take two more days.»
Seventeen days in total huh? Its not that long, I will somehow make do with it. For now, start analysing it at your maximum analysing power.
«Answer. Command accepted.
Notice. Using 'Parallel processing' to analyse the spell at the maximum analysing power. The needed time for full analysis, fifteen days.»
Good...
As I was thinking that, the sun started to rise and it started a new chapter in my adventure in another world as the first Hybrid.
"Okay, darling~ its time for wakey-wakey~" Twilight said.
"Yes. I am awake. Hmm?"
I noticed something strange slithering below us in a fast speed and when I say fast speed, it meant hundred kilometres per hour.
"Hmm? What's that?" I asked the only person who can answer this question.
"Oh, that? Its called basilisk, a Greater-dragon. It was actually just a regular Lesser-dragon but one day I caught it and took it inside my facility. When I brought it in, it was just three meters long and when it escaped , it was five meters long but now it looks to be about twenty meters. It's fascinating." Twilight mused.
Holy! Twenty meters?! And why the heck did you let such a monstrosity roam loose?
Hmm?...No! Not agaAAAAINNNN!! That bast*rd Twilight! He threw me off the Wyvern once again!
Great sage, control my flight!
«Answer. Command accepted. Executing the command.»
As soon as Great sage said this, I started to hover twenty meters above land.
Dang, that was scary! Wait, why is that basilisk coming towards me? Oh hell nah!
Thinking that, I started to fly away from the basilisk. After flying for a while, I looked back to see the situation.
How the heck is this giant basilisk slithering at such a fast speed. Great sage, anything to say?! I asked, flying even above the heights I was in before.
«Report. Basilisk is a giant snake like creature with dragon like scales and eagle like eyes. They are usually fifteen meters long but some can reach upto twenty meters. They like hot thing-»
Ahh! I didn't ask about its autobiography. Tell me its weakness! I yelled while avoiding its wide mouth it used to try to eat me.
«Answer....Not found. More information needed.»
Oh boy...
I was avoiding all of its attacks by either flying high or flying at a different direction. Soon, basilisk started to get tired and slow down due to its huge body but low stamina.
Wait, is it slowing down? Is it tired? Thinking that, I breathed a sigh of relief and started to slow down a bit.
«Notice. Trap detected! Incoming danger!»
What?! It was a trap?!
Before I could do anything, the basilisk slammed its long tail at the nearby cliff, destroying it completely.
All the rocks and boulders started to fall at me, I tried to avoid as many as I could but I still got hurt by some and my wings got torn by some.
Ugh, it isn't good. My wings are torn, now I can't fly at my full speed. Great sage, use my demonic wings. I said while pulling out a sword I picked in my last fight.
«Answer. Command accepted. Executing the command... Successful.»
Good! Now then, I know that my demonic wings aren't as good as my dragonic ones so, running away isn't an option. Either I fight or I let it eat me. Of course I would choose the first one.
Thinking that, I pulled out the sword. It was a normal long sword. The only unique thing about it was its grade. It was a sword of Rare grade and was made up of Magi-steel.
This sword is pretty good. I thought and charged at it with my full speed and tried to slash its face but-
"Clang!"
As soon as my blade collided with its scales, it made a loud noise and my attack was deflected... Just like that?
Seeing my attack having no effect, I got shocked and Basilisk used that to its advantage and slammed its tail on me.
I was thrown to the ground with a crash and a loud thud. There was a huge pillar of dust. Once it subsided, I was there laying with a few injuries.
Its bad. Great sage, damage report! I asked to know the damage I took from that attack.
«Report. Twenty percent physical damage taken from previous attack. Using 'Self-regeneration' to heal the wounds.»
...It doesn't look good. It's more than two times the damage I took in my whole battle against that Chimera and here it surpassed all that in just one attack.
As I was thinking that, the basilisk once again tried to slam its tail on top of me but I flew away at a fast speed and avoided being crushed. After I avoided the attack and looked back...
Yeah no, that's beyond my scope. A whole freaking hill was obliterated by that attack from it!
The basilisk once again tried to swallow me whole but I sped away and avoided it. Seeing its attacks failing, the basilisk took a huge leap and crashed on top of the ground and went underground through a hole it dug.
Ugh, where did it go? Will it attack from Behind? Front? Below? From where?
«Notice. Incoming attack from below!»
As soon as I got the notice, I took a huge leap and flew back several meters and surely, as soon as I moved, a huge mouth came out of the ground and swallowed the land where I was standing. I barely avoided it because of 'Great sage's' notice.
Thanks partner! You saved me again. But, did you find any weak point on its body.
«...Answer. The lower abdomen, eyes and neck are its weak points while the section in front of its nose is its blind-spot.»
Good job. But, now there is another issue. Everytime I attack it, its scales deflect my attacks be it skills or physical.
I thought while avoiding its huge mouth once again and soaring above the clouds to get some time to think.
What if...what if I use my Megicules on this sword? Will it get stronger?...I don't have much time, its either do or die...let's go!
After such thoughts, I used my Megicules to strengthen the sword and sharpen its blades. After my Megicules connected and enveloped the sword, it started to glow in a vibrant bluish-purple colour. Seeing this success, I smiled.
Yes, it was a success. I did it!
"Sorry, but you chose the wrong opponent." I said to look coo- I mean I said to scare it, yeah scare it!
After saying that, I launched down towards the basilisk with a great speed reaching a thousand kilometres per hour. As soon as I reached the basilisk, I saw something that will give me nightmares.
The basilisk opened its mouth wide in anticipation of my attack. It wanted to swallow me the moment I come down.
Hey Great sage, you said its stomach is its weak point right?
«Answer. Affirmative.»
...*Gulp* I am trusting my life on your judgements, please don't disappoint me or else I will die.
I thought while thinking of doing something very stupid that will hunt my dreams forever.
After that conversation, I dived at my full speed towards basilisk's wide opened mouth. Soon I reached it and...
"GULP" -got swallowed by that basilisk. After swallowing its prey, the basilisk started to get inside the hole it made.
But right before it could completely disappear, it started to move weirdly and started to get out of its hole.
"KREEEAAAKK!"
It gave a loud screech and started to slam its head and tail at the nearby boulders as if hitting something. Slowly its movements started to get sloppy and slow.
"KREEAAAKK....KEAKKRR!!"
It screeched once more before a bright light came out of its stomach and soon its stomach got blown into peaces and the basilisk got cut in half.
Both of its body part were slithering and moving in pain but after a few minutes it started to slow down and finally it stopped.
There was a huge trail of blood and the organs and meat of the basilisk was blown to several places, tens of meters away.
In the middle of all that chaos was standing a person, breathing heavily while clutching his sword in his right hand which was glowing in a vibrant bluish-purple colour.
"*Pant* It *Pant * was a *Pant* success...*Sigh* I survived once agian....barely." I said panting, sitting down in the middle of all the blood and organs.
Great sage, thanks. Once more, I survived because of you.
"But it still was one hell of a scary experience which I wouldn't want to experience again." I said while grinning widely.
"Now than, what should I do with you? You were one huge pain in the ass, you know." I said, looking at the fallen basilisk. Hmm....I started to think of what to do.
meh! who cares?
"Gluttony!" I screamed, extending my hand. As soon as I said it, a purple-black demonic mist came out of my palm and went towards the fallen basilisk.
Just after a few seconds, it had already covered the whole mass and was now absorbing it at a fast speed. After waiting for two-three minutes, it finally absorbed the whole basilisk alongside its blood and...parts.
«Notice. By absorbing basilisk, you have acquired Common skill 'Body armour', Extra skill 'Sense heat-source',Extra skill 'Patrifying gas' and Extra skill 'Earth manipulation'.
You can now transform into a basilisk.»
WAIT, FOUR?!! Hey Great sage, don't you think I am getting these skills too easily? Is there a secret behind it or something?
«Answer. Due to hybridisation, potential from all the races has been collected and is being used by you.»
Heh, I truly have cheat skills and a OP body from the start. Well, if I have it than I can use it anyway I want right? "Kukukuku ku!" I laughed like some clichè villain.
«Notice. After through analysis, a egg was found inside the basilisk's stomach.»
.....A WHAT?!!!
