Immortality System: The Last Human's Transmigration

*Pitschh*

My spear passed right through the head of the wolf before hitting the ground under it.

I could see that my spear had touched the floor and was not dripping with the blood of the wolf, but at that moment in time, I did not care.

[You have killed a Black Spiked Wolf]

[You have gained +100 EXP]

I could feel a new level of exhilaration. A new level of power running through my body. A feeling I had been completely ignorant to. It was an uncontrollable desire for blood that would send a shiver down my spine whenever I would recall it.

It was bloodlust.

In my now frenzied state, I pulled the spear out of the hole made in the wolf’s head before allowing my eyes to dart around for the next enemy. Throughout the moment, I kept an unconscious subtle smirk on my face that even if I were to try, I could not get rid of it._-.

They were cold, yet deep within those wintery eyes blazed an inferno that struggled to keep itself within. An inferno that represented my bottomless desire to kill.

Alongside that subtle smirk, I radiated terrifying killing intent. It was powerful and extremely dangerous to anyone weaker than me, yet due to the weakness of both my soul and body, I could not create a killing intent that represented the magnitude of my desires. However, the crimson aura that seeped out of me did do its best to represent those feelings to the furthest extent it could.

When my eyes landed on the struggling hippo, the scenes of a hippo just like it trying to snap its maw shut around my arm on the first day flashed before my eyes. This immediately triggered the memory of my arm actually being ripped off making it so I could not help but see a mirage of the lizard creature whenever I would look at the hippo.

Narrowing my eyes, I quickly put away my spear and disappeared from where I stood.

The moment my body could no longer be seen on top of the wolf that had still been suspended in the air after its death, the creatures around me could only watch as its body slammed onto the ground while kicking up a huge dust cloud that would make it hard for anyone to see anything for at least a few seconds.

Well, anyone except me of course.

Before the hippo could react to the danger that had appeared beside it, it felt a dullness that eventually spread throughout the left side of its jaw before becoming sharp and extremely painful.

With a knee to the jaw of the hippo, I had disabled its mouth and shattered its jaw bones into countless pieces, making its only weapon unusable in the process.

Not wanting to waste any time, I moved to its eye and violently pulled out my blade while making sure to make it as painful as possible as I pulled it out.

*ROOOOOOAAAAR*

Letting out a sky-shaking roar of pain, it instantly tried to attack the direction that it felt me going. Little did it know that what it was about to attack was one of its allies rather than its enemy.

Its body moved faster than anything I thought a hippo of its size could move. I would have struggled to keep track of its body with my normal eyes since it would have been moving at a blurring speed, but with my current ones, I could almost see all of its movements before it even began moving.

It was as if the energy within its body committed to an action before its mind or body did, and with the dread that I felt every time something dangerous is about to hit me, my current state made me close to unhittable.

That was beside the point, however, since it only took the hippo a second to slam its body onto the unsuspecting feline that was making sure to watch my every move rather than keeping track of anything else that might attack it.

“Too trusting…” I muttered under my breath and watched it get flung into the air and getting impaled by the horn of another beast.

Seeing that the hippo wasn’t going to be much of a problem anymore, I left it to do its own thing and searched around for more victims that I could slash with my blade.

***

A little bit over a kilometer away lay an enormous creature with a body that reached close to 150 meters in length. Its eyes we large and oval while its pupils were like two sharp slits that narrowed down on anything that caught their eyes.

While its eyes looked and seemed like a wild animal’s, it contained a glint of intelligence one wouldn’t see in any other beast, especially the smaller and weaker ones.

Two enormous fangs could be seen protruding out of its maw, while a forked tongue left its mouth almost rhythmically at different intervals and releasing a sound recognizable to most humans of my era.

As it slithered through the forest, its scales hit many trees, creating friction but never creating a fire in the process. However, one could say that the reflective surface of the creature’s scales was another story since their luster alone made it hard for anything to look at it directly.

Its scales were made out of a spotless white without a speck of dirt or mud on them even though they were constantly moving through those very things.

It was as if its scales were dirtphobic [Author’s note: Just a word I made up. Think of it as being ‘Hydrophobic’ but with things that might make it dirty]

It slithered its way around the trees, swerving from right to left, yet never finding itself entangled within an area no matter which way it moved.

Even if it were to be entangled, I doubt it would have made much of a difference to it since a single swift movement or uncalculated maneuver could send dozens of trees with trunks several times larger than me tumbling.

As it slithered past hundreds of trees, it seemed to finally halt its movement before perking up and towering over the trees to look from above.

Its head slowly moved from left to right, scanning, and sensing something it seemed to have felt ever since it reached this location.

‘This pressure…’ I thought, once again halting the movement of its head in a certain direction while releasing some kind of energy to scan the entire area it was looking at.

‘It must be strong.’ I thought and began to bear its fangs with an open maw.

*Rumble*

A distant rumbling confirmed the snake’s guesses and made it release its pure white aura.

From an outside point of view, this aura was beautiful. It was filled with a sense of holiness yet at the same time, one could see the determination and resolve it had without even having to feel it directly.

However, to anyone within the vicinity of 1 kilometer, this aura was everything but holy. One could feel the sinister nature behind it. Rather than an untainted white, the aura now looked like the cloth that would wipe away the blood that would stain the creature.

‘The cleanser is just as guilty as the one who wields the blade.’ was a sentence that resonated with the aura that the snake was letting off.

“AuuuuuuughhhhooOOOOOOO!” A voice thundered throughout the forest as if it had called upon the skies, it immediately began to rain and thunder as countless lightning bolts came down on the forest, setting alight countless fires.

‘It doesn’t seem intelligent though…’ The snake thought, yet not for a second did it lower its guard in front of this beast if you could even call it that.
