The Absolute beast Tamer-Chapter 47: TRIAL TO SURVIVE

Alan: "Huh, huh, huh, huh!"

Barely conscious, Alan raised his head as he looked at this little girl in the eyes with a smile on his face.

Alan: "So this is your thing; you like to torture them before you kill them."

(???????): "You have a strong will and a strong soul; it’s a waste to have such a will for an insect."

Alan: "Indeed, I may be an insect in front of you, but still, huh, huh, I won’t give you the satisfaction that you are looking for."

(???????): "Interesting. How about this? I will give you a chance to get out of here alive with everyone in your group."

Alan: "I am not a fan of a mental play."

(??????): "I don’t bend my words especially for an insect like you, so how about it? I’ll give you a small trial. If you clear it, you can get out of here alive; in fact, I will even reward you. After all, an insect that worked hard should be given some reward.

Alan: "I guess you have been bored for a long time. I will die anyway, so I might as well play your game."

(???????): "Then let’s see how firm your will is. But you have to know that the moment you fail, I will kill your female companion and your slave beasts right in front of your eyes, before I slowly torture your soul. Either way, it will serve as a good entertainment for a while."

Alan: "You’re talking as if I have a choice, so let’s cut the crap and be done with it."

(??????): "What a foulmouth insect you are"

The small girl put her little hand on Alan’s forehead, in the blink of an eye Alan found himself standing on a small rock platform surrounded by magma, The temperature around him spiked almost suffocating him.

When he looked up, he saw a huge opening like the mouth of a volcano.

Alan: "Huh, huh, you have got to be kidding me! Where the hell am I?"

(??????): "Your trial is to climb these molten rocks and get out of this volcano, which, by the way, is on the verge of eruption. Be careful not to die because there are no other chances for you."

Alan: "Didn’t you say that you will save me for the last, f***?"

Looking at the mouth of the volcano that looked so close yet was so far, Alan decided to play along, as it was his only choice; after all, he was powerless against a remnant of such a colossal existence.

He tried to take a deep breath to calm himself only to feel the burning sensation inside his lungs.

Alan: "Cough, cough, cough. Even breathing is laborious."

Looking at the wall next to him He decided to climb and follow that little girl’s instruction if he managed to reach the mouth of the volcano before the eruption. Then he had a slim hope of survival.

The moment he put his hand on the rock wall behind him, he felt a scalding sensation burning his skin as he grimaced from the pain.

Biting his lips, as he started climbing this scalding wall, after a while he looked down only to find that the small rock platform that he was standing on disappeared completely, submerged under the lava.

He kept on climbing and climbing while watching the lava level go up. His hands burned, and his legs skin color changed as it was destroyed by the high temperature.

He did not know how much time had passed as he kept climbing; at first he decided to stay conscious about the time, but the more he counted, the more he felt despair, as he felt hours go by, then days, and then more.

Time became an illusion that fully escaped Alan’s grasp, yet he did not stop and could only go up to that close volcano mouth that appeared so far.

When he reached the point where He was stuck between the conscious and unconscious state His body refused to stop as he continued climbing.

The more he climbed the less his confidence became to reach the opening, watching the lava following behind him as if a keeper reminding him that His execution is inevitable.

His body started repeating every action of a climbing as if a climbing machine with no soul yet he did not stop.

After a while, even his body started to give up, almost losing his footing and falling into the lava with only one hand holding on a small rock as his last robe of life.

It was at that moment That’s something inside started beating like a heart, Even so his own heart was about to give up.

The light came back to his eyes as he grasped the wall with his other hand, firmly holding himself to continue climbing.

Alan: "By the whispers of the wind and the wisdom of the ancient trees,

I cleanse my mind of shadows, and release myself from the grip of these.

Let clarity flow like a crystal stream, washing away doubt and fear,

Guiding my thoughts to a peaceful dream, where truth and wisdom ever near"

Alan’s sound vibrates through the volcano as if an ancient monk was reading scripture.

Chanting and climbing those two actions dominated him. Even he was not sure if he was awake or alive anymore.

He kept repeating these words as if they held the key to truth and wisdom on the road that led to enlightenment.

The deadly and dangerous volcano was filled with the sounds of chanting as if it had morphed into a sacred place; even the boiling lava came to a still.

Time itself was a thing of the past, yet the future

As if it does not exist in the now.

How long was it? Why was he climbing? Where was he? Who was he? Nobody knows; only he himself knew.

When he suddenly raised his hand, he felt an edge, so he raised the other, pulling himself upwards as he got out of the opening, looking behind him. He asked himself.

Alan: "Was there even a volcano?"

Everything around him shattered as he woke up standing there at the water body, and right in front of him was the little girl with the red eyes looking at him with a clear shock.

Alan: "Has it been days, months, or probably years? It has been a while, senior. I have climbed and climbed until I reached the opening of the volcano."

.....

Red eyes full of power and wisdom watched Alan struggle in his climbing.

(??????): "For a mortal, he’s doing so good."

As time went by and he never came back, the red eyes widened in shock as they watched this young man suffering from the burns destroying his skin and limbs, breathing the fire but continuing to climb.

(??????): "Such a will and such a strong soul are almost unheard of, and they reside inside the body of such a weak creature, defying all logic."

When Alan was about to give up, almost falling into the boiling lava, the red eyes watched as if it was anticipating this moment.

(???????): "He did much better than I ever dreamed he would; I guess I will end the trial and reward him."

But that was the moment when everything went against what the red ancient eyes expected.

As if he came back from the dead, Alan, who started chanting the ancient chant and climbing again, changed the environment around him from a boiling, fully ready-to-erupt volcano to a holy place of peace and still truth.

He found the truth through the false, under the watch of the red ancient eyes, as if he was breaking an illusion; he reached his goal, completely defying the laws placed by the red eyes.

(??????): "I …I was affected by the chant unbelievable. What kind of a creature had fallen into my hand? Finally, my chance had come.

.....

(??????): "Only a minute has passed, yet for you, so much time did, but also didn’t."

Alan: "a minute… all of that in a minute. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"

As if broken he laughed and laughed.

(??????): "Has your mind become broken?"

Alan: "Oh no, it just opened the door to a new understanding for me. What am I but a time, a place, and an individual? I guess a story to be told.

Ah, so what now, senior? Do we survive with your grace?"

(??????): "My word shall not be broken; you will get your reward, and you will keep your lives and get out of here."

Alan: "We are grateful for senior Mercy."

Alan looked at the girl in front of him with sincere eyes, but behind them was that reflection of pure rage that was caged by chains of bloodlust that desired nothing more than to destroy the very soul of the little girl.

(??????): "you became much better hiding your emotions, little sapling does holding so much killing intent on an already dead entity holds any benefits for you hahahahahahaha"

Alan: "If I could, I would definitely help the senior resurrect in the future, and then I would gladly take that soul and shred it to pieces."

The little girl fell silent as she looked at the crazed smile on this little boy’s face.
