The World Serpent

Chapter 41 - 41-Beneath The Surface Part 12, The World Around Me



Within the Giant Library, hidden within the Ancient Temple, It was deep below the Earth, hidden from the World around it. Towering Bookshelves that looked like buildings were numerous within the Library. Each Bookshelf contained thousands of different books with different subjects. The Ceilings that covered the Giant Library exuded a Strange and Ancient Light. The Light gave an Ancient Feeling that signifies the age of the Temple. With all the Amazing Things within the Library. There was one thing that gave Persia the painting of the World. It was a Humongous Globe that represents the World.

The Globe was Gigantic. The Globe was from a Strange Metal that doesn't seem to Rust. The Metal was strong as the Globe didn't looked deform, and it was also Light as there wasn't any stress below it. The Globe was a Painting created by the Owners of the Ancient Temple. It was the Painting of a World in its Beginning.

Right next to the Gigantic Globe was a White Serpent. The White Serpent was Six Meters in Length, and it looked Beautiful and Horrifying. It was surrounded by Books that towered over it. The White Serpent was an Intelligent being capable of gathering information and was curious enough to do it. It seemed to have recently woke up from its Slumber as it looked like it was looking around the Area.

'Mechanical Theory, Magical Theory, Ruin Theory, Ancient Language, Alchemy, Philosophy, Etc. Ego, You read that many books when I was asleep? Did you even read it, or you observed it from page to page?' Persia was curious at how Ego managed to read so many books in a matter of time. She wanted to know everything that Ego learned as she was Curious about the findings.

<It is clear that it would be impossible for me to read the books all at once. I won't take a risk to let my Sister's growth halt, so I would copy every book that looked useful. After copying the books, I would take my time of the Soul Core and learned everything I copied. But even though I didn't manage to read everything and copied most of them, I learned some things during the Copying. Interesting things that could be useful for Sister.>

'I see... That does make sense. But I have a new question. How did I understand the books?' Persia wanted to know if she gained the ability to understand the books within the Library. If it was possible to understand the books, She might learn important information by herself, and the learning efficiency of the Two would grow.

<Sorry to disappoint, But the only reason Sister could understand the Words written on the Books is that the Information of the Books is within my Archives. The Ancient Language is hard to understand. I only pick the books that I could decode, but for the rest of the books within the Library. All of them are unknown and useless.>

'Well, That is disappointing, but at least you got the Basic Information of the World. So... Ego, Give me everything you got.' Persia thought to herself as she prepared herself from the Information given by Ego. She was already wide awake and was ready for complicated discussions. The only thing she needed was a subject to discuss. A Monotone Voice then echoed throughout Persia's Mind. Ego was beginning to explain everything she learned from the Books.

<Ego will begin the Basic Explanation to Sister... We are currently in a Dungeon. This Dungeon got created by a Strange Race with unknown origins and information. The Dungeon is their home or a colony of some sort. They have collected many things and put them in the Library for Future Generations, but It seems that they disappeared, and the Dungeon was then abandoned until the Homoanuras came in.>

'Hmm... The Information you gave was intriguing.' Persia thought while nodding to herself. The Ancient Temple she got in was called Dungeon. Created by Ancient Race as a Colony. They gathered information about the World and put it in the Library. They disappeared and never returned. 'This is getting complicated, but it is safe to assume that the Ancient Race is gone.'

Ego then continued with the Basic Information.

<The World Sister is currently in is called the World of Barbarus. It is possibly the Discoverer's name, but it is the name they gave to the World. According to their researched. The World's Surface is covered in Water by 90%. which means that there are mostly Islands in this World. The Islands are considered Island Continents due to their Size and their own tectonic plates. It is a Strange World, but judging from the fact that it has a Sister in it. It is perfect for it to be strange.>

'Yeah, I'm a strange creature.' Persia shook her head and thought about the World. It was called Babarus and was full of Water. It would mean that Aquatic Creatures might dominate the World. Fortunately, Persia was a Semi-Aquatic Creature, so she had no problem with such a fact. It might even be a good thing as the Ocean was known to make Giant Creatures. Biomass would be in a mass gathering of food in the Ocean.

'Is there more information about the World?' Persia asked as she wanted to know more about the World. After hearing Information about it, She was interested and was a little bit excited. Her Adventure would start to get interesting. Many strange monsters would come her way, and she would either eat them or kill them and eat them.

<I would like to give Sister more information about the World but that the Information Sister recently heard is the only thing I got. I have already finished copying them, so there is no reason for Sister to stay in the Library. We could go back when needed, but for now, Sister should focus on her Growth. I would stay in the Soul Core for now and study the Information I got. So Sister should expect the results to come later.>

'Well, That is disappointing. But I guess it's time to continue on our journey. There is no reason to stay in the Library, and I need to hunt other creatures. I need to go in the Next Tunnel.' Persia then looked at the Tunnel that was the Exit of the Ancient Library. She was about to Traversed within the Next Tunnels. She didn't know where it would lead to, but there might be interesting things within that Tunnel like the Ancient Library she passed through.

'I have gathered battle experience with the Homoanuras. There is nothing more they could do other than being my Biomass.' Persia thought with a serious tone. She was serious about Exterminating the Homoanuras. She didn't know what she would gain, but Persia was halfway complete with exterminating them. She would just be wasting her time if she stopped the Extermination.

'I'm really changing... If it was me before the Reincarnation. I wouldn't be able to stand at the sight of blood. I was a coward but being in the Wild changes your views. I'm also a monster, and I won't ever be a human ever again. If I didn't accept such a fact, I might have gone crazy before reaching this place.' Persia had many thoughts within her mind. She just shook her snakehead and slithered towards the Next Tunnel.

She then met the Grand staircase leading to the Tunnel and slowly climb through it. She was Bigger, Faster, and Stronger than before. The former enemies were now an Easy Prey. But even if she had such thought within her Mind. Persia wouldn't underestimate her enemies as it could cost Persia her death. 'I need to be extra careful in easy situations. Reality might stab me in the back.' Persia thought as she finally reached the top of the Grand staircase.

'Another Dark Tunnel...' Persia thought while looking at the Next Tunnel. It seems that she would go through the Recent situation in the last Tunnel. She wouldn't want to get trapped in the Darkness, but if she wanted to continue. She needed to pass through the Dark Tunnel. And going back to her tracks would waste her time.

Persia then slithered towards the Dark Tunnel. Her scales slowly got engulfed by Darkness, and Persia's sight turned Black. 'Infrared.' Persia thought as her Vision slowly changed. She looked around and found out that it was nothing different from the Last Tunnel she got through. She shook her head and began her journey in the Dark Tunnel.

As time passes by within the Dark Tunnel, Persia was still slithering through it. She got a serious snake expression in her Snake Eyes. She had many thoughts within her mind, and most of her thoughts were about the End of the Dark Tunnel. She could feel a strong breeze of wind heading through her from the End of the Dark Tunnel.

'The Strong Breeze of Wind isn't natural. Something is stopping me from continuing.' Persia thought to herself. She continued to slither through the Tunnel without fear. Even though the Strong Breeze of Wind might signify Danger, It could be a Wide Area within the Ancient Temple. The Large Area was probably comparable to the Ancient Library but before jumping to Conclusions. Persia had to see it herself.

'This wouldn't be enough to stop me.' Persia thought with a smirk plastered on her face as she slithered through the Dark Tunnel. The Winds got stronger, but Persia was stronger than it. She wanted to use Barrier, but while going through the Dark Tunnel. Persia had an idea within her mind. She wanted to use the Wind as Training.

'My Wallcrawling Skill would be useful for future.' Persia thought. She then began the training and slithered through the Walls instead of the Ground. It was a Little Bit Hard but not Hard Enough. Persia then slithered through the Ceilings of the Tunnel. She sometimes almost fell while slithering through the ceiling, but she persevered.

Persia continued with such training, and a Notification finally echoed within her Mind. It has been a while since she heard a Notification, so Persia was a little bit happy hearing its ring. A Notification Window appeared in front of Persia, and she began reading the Notification she got from the Training.

[You have increased your Proficiency with Mortal Wallcrawling.]

[Mortal Wallcrawling(0/10)->Mortal Wallcrawling(3/10)]

[Mortal Wallcrawling(3/10)->Mortal Wallcrawling(7/10)]

[Mortal Wallcrawling(7/10)->Mortal Wallcrawling(10/10)]

[Mortal Wallcrawling has reached the Threshold.]

[Evolving...]

[Skill Evolution Complete.]

[Superior Wallcrawling has been gained.]

'The Skill evolved? That was faster than expected...' Persia was surprised by the Notifications given to her. She expected a Proficiency increase but what she got was something more. It was the Evolution of her Skill. She shook her head and continued the training. She wanted to increase the proficiency of her Skills as it could save some of her Points.

Persia traversed through the Dark Tunnel and finally found something illuminating. It looked like a Blinking Star, but as Persia got nearer to it. The Blinking Star got larger and larger. The Exit she wanted to see was finally in front of her. Persia could leave the Dark Tunnel and continue on her Journey.

'It's time to continue the Extermination.' Persia thought as she leaves the Dark Tunnel. She slithered and found herself in a New Area. Persia looked around and found something shocking. It was a Gigantic Portal. It looked strange and mystical. It was the First time Persia saw something amazing. The Portal had Two Gigantic Rocky Pillars and a Giant Rocky Slab on top of it. Within its, Center was the Portal that looked like a Clear Calm Water.

'Never did I thought that I could see something interesting. Homoanuras... You're lucky for now.' Persia thought as she slowly slithered towards the Portal. She didn't know where it would lead, but as she was a Serpent. It was time for her to explore new lands and begin new adventures.

Persia then entered the Portal with her Serpent Body. The Portal created little waves as she entered through it.. The Invasion of the White Serpent was about to begin.
