Chapter 689 Ancient Terror

Searching through her memories, she couldn’t remember who this monster was but she knew it was much worse than a Minotaur.

The problem was whether or not she should make herself known or not.

Just looking at the monster’s body made her feel on edge never mind wanting to fight it.

Watching him wrap his skinless tail around the Minotaur’s neck, the monster lifted the Minotaur up and started to tear away at his face.

Hearing the pain filled cries of the Minotaur, Shiro furrowed her brows.

’Normally, I’d want to fight that thing but not this time.’ Shiro thought to herself and hopped down from the sky.

Hiding near the trees, she kept her eyes on the situation so that she could grab the Minotaur’s head or something as a proof of completion. After all, he was gold that she needed to pay for her sword.

Hiding in the shadow of a tree, she tried to suppress her presence as much as she could.

Watching the monster brutalise the Minotaur, Shiro didn’t realise but her back was already covered with cold sweat.

Suddenly, the monster glanced up and cracked open his mouth.

"Did you enjoy watching that?" It growled with a deep voice.

All four of his eyes snapped towards Shiro’s location as she felt her alarms ring out immediately.

"Kak kak kak. It seems like you had some business with this moron. You can have him. His blindness damaged my horn after all." The monster laughed as his voice crackled with each word.

Dropping the corpse, the monster walked towards Shiro slowly.

Strangely enough, it felt like there was something binding Shiro’s body as she was not able to move at all no matter how hard she tried.

"You seem to not know who I am. Seems like times have changed. How long did I sleep before this bull woke me up." He muttered while making eye contact with Shiro.

"Are you curious about my name? What I am? What I’m talking about? Your eyes seek answers ." He licked his lipless mouth with his tongue.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Shiro nodded her head.

"They called me the ancient terror among many names. But none know my true name. I’m an abomination born from the pool of corruption. I am here to destroy the forgotten realm and escape this prison of gods."

Suddenly, he reached out towards Shiro as she was able to break out of the lock and make some distance between them.

"Oh?" The monster muttered as his body wavered slightly.

"It seems I’m still tired from waking up right now. You’re lucky girl." He grinned and started to meld into the shadows.

After a short moment, his body had disappeared and all that remained was the corpses of the Minotaur.

Without the monster’s presence, Shiro was finally able to breathe properly as she had suppressed her breathing to not make a single noise.

’What the hell.’ Shiro panted slightly.

’Ancient Terror... Abomination born from the pool of corruption...’ She thought with a frown.

Taking a deep breath, she had a short break so that she could calm herself.

Once she was calm, she had a frown on her face.

The forgotten realm had more secrets than what she had expected. The null area, dread sapling and now the ancient terror.

Shaking her head, she looked towards the Minotaur with a complicated expression.

Due to what she had done to the Minotaur, it had accidently woken up something it shouldn’t have. In one way, one can think of it as her fault since she was the catalyst to this.

Sighing softly, she walked over to the Minotaur’s corpse and started to separate its head from the rest of the body.

It would serve as a proof since she couldn’t take the rest of the body.

Normally, she would have been tempted to cook the rest of the body but right now, she wanted nothing more than to leave this place.

Tying the head with some makeshift ropes, Shiro unfurled her wings and immediately left the spot.

Soon after she felt, dark particles appear and merge into the monstrosity that Shiro had seen.

"How wasteful." He glanced at the headless corpse of the Minotaur and reached out with his hand.

Suddenly, teeth erupted out of the ground and started to consume the corpse.

Disgusting crunching sounds rang out as the body soon disappeared.

Glancing towards where Shiro had left, he chuckled to himself before leaving for good.

Flying out of the Section of Life as fast as she could, Shiro glanced back and sighed.

It was only when she left the forest did she feel safe. During her time in the forest, it was like there was a constant set of eyes locked onto her back, tracking her wherever she went. Always watching. It reminded her of her time in the labs where every camera would observe her every action.

Monitoring her health, how she moved and her habits.

It was highly uncomfortable and the stare of that monstrosity felt the same.

Furrowing her brows, Shiro figured that she should go to the library and find out as much information as she could about this guy.

Making her way back to the city as quickly as she could, she was rather eye-catching with the head of a Minotaur behind her.

Furling her wings, she walked to the Mercenary Hall.

Walking up to the third floor where she had seen the bounty, Shiro waited for her turn.

"Hello, it seems like you want to turn in a bounty." The woman smiled after seeing Shiro.

"Mn, I found out what the monster was in the section of life along with killing it. If I remember, the reward was 50 gold right?" Shiro nodded.

"Indeed. If it was a Minotaur, then it would make sense why hundreds of travellers would find it hard to escape. How come the head seemed like it’s been attacked by something else though?" The woman asked.

"I found it weakened. The arrow wounds are what I caused." Shiro shrugged, summoning her bow.

"I see. Please give me a moment while we verify your bounty completion. Regardless of the result of verification, you will get a certain amount of gold. The process should be complete by the end of the day. Take this token as a proof and come back at the end of the day." The woman said while handing over a token.

Nodding her head, Shiro handed the head over to the woman and started to make her way to the library.

Entering the facility, the woman was about to say something when she furrowed her brows.

Shaking her head, she smiled once more.

"You have come back rather quickly. Seems like your hunt was successful." She smiled.

"Somewhat. I ran into something strange though. Do you have anything on a being known as the Ancient Terror and the pool of corruption?" Shiro asked.

"Where did you hear those terms from?" The woman asked, her voice sounding a lot less carefree than before.

Naturally, Shiro picked this up and understood the person knew what was going on.

"From the monstrosity himself." Shiro replied with a heavy tone.

"I’m surprised that you lived to tell the tale then. Give me a moment, I shall personally guide you to the location. I also need to purify you as it seems like it has planted a seed of corruption within you. If nothing is done, you’ll become a corruption monster whose only goal is to create more pools of corruption." The woman narrowed her eyes and gestured for Shiro to come with her.

"What about your post? Is there anyone else to guide the people?" Shiro asked curiously.

"There is already someone on the way. But enough about that, come with me." The woman nodded her head.

Walking to the back of the library on the first floor, the woman pressed her hand against the wall as a magic circle expanded out and a set of stairs appeared beside them.

Walking down the steps, Shiro watched as the entrance was sealed back up once more.

Following behind the woman, Shiro couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable.

"If you’re feeling uncomfortable then that’s the corruption sapling acting up." The woman said as Shiro was slightly surprised but kept quiet. Following behind her, they walked through a few doors and down several steps before arriving in front of a sealed room.
