Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

*********************

Everywhere in the Ancestral Tomb, exclamations and pleads of help could be heard, especially from the Companions of the aforementioned Travelers.

"Argh! Get off me! Hey Talia, get up here and help me out! I don’t want to end up dead in this shitty place! "

"I need to escape, Empress Xingyun! Huhuhu, please help me here! I can’t take this any longer! "

"Hey Iskanor! I may be your slave, but that does not mean that you can just leave me here! You owe me your life from the last mission! "

"Permission for help, Overlord Overron. Your humble servant asks for your aid her. "

"Xavier, can you hear me? Please don’t let me die here. I don’t want to end up like your lover. I still have some grudge to settle with you too later..."

".... "

"... "

*************

The gluttonous monster who was the culprit of this situation could see all of this happening, and it practically relished on their reactions.

It even salivated as it continued listening, as if these sounds were increasing his already enormous appetite.

[[Now this is what I want to see! Prey fighting for their lives, knowing that this could be the last moment of their existence!]] The monster exclaimed, with its body jiggling from extreme excitement. [[Yes, all of you should fight for your lives like the trash that you are!]]

[[Hah, hah, hah... Now this is just making me hungrier...]]

If this unknown monster had a human face, one can certainly say that he had a look of pure ecstasy. Such look will be enough to unnerve anyone, especially those who are about to be in his next ’meal’.

[[So... should I start eating now? Wait, not yet.... ]]

This alone speaks volumes of what could happen next, but as it turns out, this was not the worst that this monster could actually do.

Because under this monster’s hungry appearance, lies another plan that he had been itching to do.

[[I cannot eat these prey now, as they still have an important use for my Master. If I want to eat them, then I should wait until my Master’s plan is done...]] The monster said forcefully as he closed his mouth, as if he was trying his best to stop himself from taking a bite from his captives.

[[Ugh... I am really hungry now, but Master’s plan is more important than my feelings...]]

Whether this move stopped the monster from feeling hungry was unknown, but the fact that everyone was still alive shows that this creature was actually serious.

This situation is potentially a good news to all of the monster’s captives, but they of course had no idea about it. Which seems to be obvious to the monster, who now shook his body in another bout of excitement again.

[[I don’t exactly know what Master’s plan is, but he told me that he just needs one barely alive Traveler for himself. The stronger that Traveler is, the better. As for the others, Master does not exactly care about them...]]

[[Since that was the case, then what I have to do is just simple. I should just find a way to discover the strongest Traveler here, and once I did that, I will give him to my Master!]]

[[Yes, I really should do that! As for how, I already have an idea....]]

At this point in time, the monster was just casually dragging all of his captives directly to himself. He was hungry after all, and he was raring to have a fill for himself already.

But he could not exactly eat yet, as the existence of his Master’s plan was weighing heavily on him.

[[I could do it this way: I can just gather all the Travelers in one location and then make them kill each other! The last one standing should be the strongest Traveler, which I will then give to Master! As for the Travelers who died, they will be my food later!]]

[[Hahaha! This is a good plan! Not only do I get to choose the strongest Traveler, I will also get to enjoy dead food to myself! This is like getting two benefits in just one move!]]

[[Boom!]]

Right after he made this exclamation, the monster’s movements greatly changed, much to the surprise of everyone.

Instead of going directly to him, the monster made his captives go to a different location.

As to where exactly, it only took a few seconds for everyone to know.

[[I know that these Travelers are in a truce for this mission. This means that they won’t exactly fight each other unless it is important. This means that if I want to make them fight, I should bring them to a place where they will have to fight for their lives.]]

[[There are a lot of places here in the Ancestral Tomb that could be this ’place’, but I know exactly one that will be the best fit here.]]

[[And that location is the one where the Abyss Envoy currently resides!]]

[[Boom!]]

These ominous words by the monster was all true, as just a few seconds later, he actually brought all of his captives near Alex.

Whether these captives were Companions or Travelers did not matter to him at all. What is important is that they are now facing someone like Alex, which should lead to some interesting events.

[[Hahaha !Hahahaha!]] THe monster could barely stop himself from smiling at this point, especially once he saw the fear on his captives’ faces.

How could these captives not be fearful, especially when they are now face-to-face with an extremely corrupted Alex?

There is just no way that these people could stay calm in face of someone as malicious as Alex, and the monster clearly was excited for this.𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

[[Hahaha! If all of you will not for your lives here, then this Abyss Envoy will take all of you for himself! That means all of you will be dead!]]

[[Which is good for me, but come on, all of you can do better than this, right??]]
