Endless Journey: Infinite Realms - Chapter 729 Living Impossibility

A FEW MINUTES LATER

ANCESTRAL TOMB

"…If Alex wanted us to do this together, then why did I appear at this area? An area which quite frankly, not conducive for anything useful in my group." Alina muttered to herself. "Is he playing tricks against me again?"

Her eyes narrowed as she took in the scenery around her, which can just be described as a combination of both reality and imagination. She could see objects that existed in normal life, and she could also see things that should not have even existed at all.

Monsters, imaginary beings, unknown and unnamed colors, legends and myths… name all the things that a person could think off, and they existed in this area.

Even creatures that Alina could not describe with her very own mind could be seen lurking at every corner, and they seem to be interested on showing off their existence to her.

"….Sigh, of all the things that I should have seen, this what I witness when I came here. Unnamed beings and contorted ideals. How ironic to find these in a tomb…." Alina thought as she deftly dodged a monstrous pig that came barreling towards her body.

"Oh, and some of these beings are trying to attack us visitors too. How interesting…"

The pig obviously failed to hit Alina, and it seemed to have made it angry.

"Squee!" The amorphous tentacles comprising the pig's lower half all trembled as if to display the pig's anger, and its snout released lightning clouds that filled the whole place with an ozone smell. The pig's foot then sprouted several human heads, all which shouted curses on Alina's direction.

The pig's tail transformed next, becoming an eight-headed Serpent that hissed all of its tongues towards Alina.

"Squee!" Venom then flowed porously from the pig's mouth, staining the objects that it touched with the kiss of death. These objects all dissolved, leaving only a puddle of agony that brought more shouts into the air.

"Squee!"

While the pig continued to spout venom like it was a fountain, its serpent and human heads all retained their hostile looks at Alina, and from the way things appeared, they are willing to already take a bite out of her.

"Squee!"

To a normal person who suddenly sees these changes, they will surely be scared, as the pig's final form carried enough lethality to kill anyone many times over. It is hard for someone to survive this attack, much less escape it, as the pig's wings gave it enough mobility to chase its prey.

But for Alina, she only regarded the transformed pig as an irritation.

After all, the pig's overall power just hovered around the Fourth Stage. That was powerful on its own, but in comparison to Alina's overwhelming abilities, this wild pig was nothing more but a pawn.

This was made more obvious when Alina released her hidden aura, which almost overwhelmed the pig to the point that it was about to choke from the pressure.

"Squee!" The pig's tentacles and legs folded like they were a paper plane, while its serpent tail flopped down to the ground quickly. The human heads were then directly crushed by the pressure, and they found no way to speak out their curses.

Blood also flowed from the pig's orifices, with its blackened and corrosive appearance making it seem more like a chemical rather than an organic substance.

"Sizzle…"

Such powerful attack from Alina was enough to deter many of her enemies, but in this case, her attack had done the opposite.

"Squee!" Even with all the suffering that it was going through, the pig seemed to not care about the disparity of power, as it continued on displaying its hostility towards Alina.

Just by looking at the pig's resolute face(don't ask me how a pig can look resolute), it is easy to see that the pig won't stop on its hostilities, and that it will resume on attacking even though Alina was already displaying her domineering aura against it.

As long as Alina displays one gap on her defense, the pig will surely use all of its might to reach her….

"Squee!"

The sight of this monstrous pig doing this 'suicidal move' is enough to baffle many, and Alina was also rendered curious about it.

And she became so curious that for a second, she forgot her intention to obliterate it instantly.

"This pig is not a normal creature. It has the head of a pig, a lower body comprised of tentacles, a foot that was made up of human heads, a tail that can become an eight-headed serpent, and wings that belonged to an eagle…"

"This body make-up can only be seen on dreams or nightmares, and even an expert like Professor Frances will have a hard time creating this creature. That means that this creature should have not have existed, and it should not have been able to even try attacking me."

"But here is this monstrous entity, hissings all of its 'heads' on my direction…"

If Alina can explain her feelings right now, she would say that most of it bordered on curiosity and interest.

That was hardly surprising, given that she just witnessed the existence of a creature that should not have been alive at all.

"By using my powers, I can detect that none of this creature's body parts should have let it live. And yet here it lies in my area, picking a fight against me that it can't even win."

"…What's the purpose for this creature to even live? It does not seem to be alive, but it also looks alive?"

"Ugh, now this is making me feel dizzy…."

Alina shook her head for a while, as she tried to internalize the existence of this creature. She tried to use Professor Frances' and Queen Mother's knowledge, which to her disappointment, did not help her at all.

She also attempted other ways to examine the pig, but all of it failed.

In the end, all that Alina obtained from her activity was boredom, and she also realized that she was just wasting her time.
