“There’s soet back to is turned around and I could literally see his smokey black body pale “Oh, shi+t”

My heart pounded as the rapid footfalls of the beasts grew louder I hobbled as fast as my body would let me under the current strain of the fruit I had just consuht whatever horde was barreling toward us in the current state I was in

Heaven-sent, we e tree nearby The exposed roots gnarled together, weaving in and out of the ground to provide us with a tight shelter to hide in

My heart pounded as I listened to what sounded like a sta every square inch of the area we had narrowly escaped fro to think of the reason e had suddenly attracted the attention of all of them Was it because I had eaten the fruit? No, that wasn’t it

That transparent fly trap… it let out that horrible screa clicked

The two-tailedelse on this floor anisms here had adapted to make as little noise as possible… ainst whatever those beasts were

“Sensitive to sound,” I is nodded back and the two of us waited for this beast to hopefully round shook under the constant footfalls of the horde of beasts That’s how close they were I could hear a loud chitter as the beasts continued to search for the source of the scream that had lured it

With how close the horde of beasts were, I could feel the pressure they emitted and suffice to say, it was on a whole other level frosound of rusted gears clacking together grew closer Even Regis re seen despite his incorporeal state

Suddenly, the hairs on the back ofthat I wouldn’t like The rapid chittering grew even louder until, moments later, I was able to see it

It wasn’t a horde of beasts It was just one very long, large beast

The chi to look at, but this creature was sohtmare

With the overall frairth of a bullet train—the creature writhed past ht I was able to make out the serrated pincers on its head as it passed by but most of the smaller details were lost on me I was focused on the fact that this millipede was aled in a soft purple hue that blended with the glowing leaves, the giant elatinous than solid… like it washow not even the sharp branches of the ethereal trees ainst the creature’s exterior, I kneouldn’t be easy to kill

Thefor its prey Despite its treth, it moved with such deft and flexibility that even as it iant beast had passed through

Still, I could hear the giant round, keeping e

Tied as we anxiously waited for the e in its actions The beast’s rapid steps began to slow until all I could hear was a rhythis asked

I’m not sure, I responded, sorely teure out that I wouldn’t have been alive if I had an rhythround, I could hear pained cries

I could only assume that the beast had used so nearby that hadhalted, I steeledon despite the burning sensation ofto absorb the aether fro over my shoulder

The millipede had curled itself around a massive tree, which was apparently home to a family of two-tailed monkeys

What was a feast for the ic bloodbath for the ershile a smaller monkey pounded desperately on the rown iant beast had circular depressions all over its back that pulsated, but aside fros, I couldn’t see any other for of fighting that thing,” Regis whispered an inch away from my ear

“Not if I don’t have to”

Despite there being over a dozen ainst thefor over half of theiven up and escaped for their lives

As the iant tree and began slithering away, I couldn’t help noticing thethe battle, the round to use as weapons These had also gotten consu with the monkeys

While the two-tailed beasts bodies ithering—as if their aether was being sucked out of their bodies, a slight glow began enveloping the rock that thewith it

While the first bite had been an agonizing experience that could’ve gotten me killed by the millipede, the subsequent bites made it seem like it was all worth it

I started off with small nibbles, afraid that I’d be met with another wave of pain Instead, I was hout er afraid, I took larger bites as rily devoured the aetheric essence fro was that after polishi+ng off the fruit, the aether in my body had lost some of its reddish tint—and that was before my body had completely absorbed all of the aetheric essence

I didn’t know exactly what the change in color er

Time went by neither fast nor slow on this floor With little need to sleep as frequently and no sun overhead, my internal clock had beco for the exit, my mind continued to think back to our encounter with the translucent millipede More specifically, how the beast’s insides had completely absorbed the aether from the monkeys it had devoured but how a coat of aether see around the stone
