The Journey of the Strongest Ruler
CHAPTER 29

After separating the precious thing from the body of the Green Piton snake. Whana kept the snake's body in the system storage room. Whana continued walking down the ravine and had killed dozens of Seventh-level Monsters up to the Eighth level.

After walking for five kilos, Whana did not find a monster. The atmosphere looked silent, only a gust of wind sounded - sayup.

"What is this place? Why is there so much black fog?" that thought popped into Whana's mind looking at her surroundings looking gloomy.

With her perception, Whana sensed that there were some creatures within the black fog that was in front of her. It is not clear, however, whether it is a monster or another creature.

'God's eyes!'

Activating the God Eye Technique, yet Whana was still unable to penetrate what was behind the black fog. Of course, this made him even more curious. He walked slowly closer to the black fog while taking out the Sword of God.

Just as his body touched the black fog, the sound of the system notification rang incessantly in his mind.

[Dig! Soul corrosion. Mental Energy increased by 0.05 ..].

[Dig! Soul corrosion. Mental Energy increased by 0.05 ..].

[Dig! Soul corrosion. Mental Energy increased by 0.05 ..].

[Dig! Soul corrosion. Mental Energy increased by 0.05 ..].

[...........]

[Dig! Soul corrosion. Mental Energy increased by 0.05 ..].

\[Ding! Congratulations Sir. Mental Energy increases by 1 point to 17/10,000\]

Hearing the system notification in his mind, Whana grinned happily.

'It turns out a windfall. Who would have thought this would increase Mental Energy, ' he said in his heart.

Whana continued to step slowly regardless of the ringing system that kept ringing in her mind.

But suddenly a pitch-black figure appeared exactly five meters in front of Whana. Its body was as big as a human in general and it was about two meters tall. His eyes were blood red, his mouth large and wide displaying rows of sharp teeth.

The creature floated without touching the ground. It has no legs but parts similar to its body extension that shrink to the size of a thread. Similar to the ghosts in the cartoon Whana sees on Earth.

'What is this thing? So creepy?' whana thought in surprise.

Wuuuss

The creature shot towards Whana by opening its mouth wide.

Slash

Without a sound, the creature split into two and shattered into a black fog.

\[Ding! Congratulations Sir. Has killed a Fourth level Demon Spirit, ....\]

'Oh so this is a Fourth level Demon Spirit?!' muttered Whana slowly responded to her ignorance.

Just three steps Whana walked, a similar creature reappeared, but there were two in number.

Slash

\[Ding! Congratulations Sir. Has killed a Fourth level Demon Spirit, ....\]

\[Ding! Congratulations Sir. Has killed a Fifth level Demon Spirit, ....\]

Go deeper and appear again four similar creatures.

Slash, slash, slash, slash

\[Ding! Congratulations Sir. Has killed a Fifth level Demon Spirit, ....\]

\[Ding! Congratulations Sir. Has killed the Eighth level Demon Spirit, ....\]

\[Ding! Congratulations Sir. Has killed a Fifth level Demon Spirit, ....\]

\[Ding! Congratulations Sir. Has killed the Seventh level Demon Spirit, ....\]

Exhaustive walking, reappearing similar creatures with double the amount. Whana continued to swing her sword and continued to step forward.

Hundreds of Demon Spirits he slashed with the Sword of God. The ringing of the system notification echoed in his mind accompanying his slash.

Three hundred meters away, the black fog began to thin from his sight. Whana looked back, and the pitch-black fog was still there.

Alertly, Whana walked over the sharp gravel rocks. He saw a three-meter-tall tree in the middle of the gravel rocks he was now treading. There is a one meter long black snake with a body diameter as big as a toddler's arm.

\[Ding! Badeng Lipi Ilblis Monster \*9. Mental Energy: 2, Attribute: Darkness.\]

Seeesssss, seeeesss, seeesss

The monster hissed and slowly enlarged its body to the size of a drum about a hundred meters long. His eyes were red and on his forehead was a sparkling red gem-like stone. Staring at Whana angrily and directly wagging her tail right then and there.

Seeing the attack towards her, Whana rushed to the side while slashing the Sword of God onto the demon monster.

Seeessss, seeeesss

The Demon Monster hissed, seemingly sensing his body had been slashed by the human in front of him. Then the snake opened its mouth wide, spitting a pitch-black liquid towards Whana.

Whana was about to jump but a little late. Some of the black liquid hit his body. Whana felt her body unable to move and was like a tingling sensation. His soul seemed to be pulled out by the power of darkness.

"Damn it, a soul attack," Whana shouted with her gritting teeth held back.

Using her mental energy, Whana tried to disperse the dark energy that began to envelop her entire body.

"aaaarrrhhhhggg ...."

Whana shouted as loudly as possible, her voice echoing at the bottom of the depths of the abyss. In the next moment, he was freed from the shackles of dark energy that enveloped his body.

Instantly Whana jumped towards the demon monster and slashed her sword repeatedly towards the monster head which was precisely aimed at the monster's eyes.

Slash, baam, baam

Slash, baam, baam

Slash, baam, baam

Slash, baam, baam

It looked as if the demon monster was staggering out of balance. His right eye was spitting out a pitch-black blood.

Seeing the opportunity, Whana did not delay anymore. He jumped to the left of the monster and slashed his sword again.

Slash, baam, baam

Slash, baam, baam

Slash, baam, baam

Slash, baam, baam

Buuukk

The demon snake monster fell from the air. Sharp gravel flew in all directions.

With mental energy Whana instantly formed a shield that protected his body from the countless gravel slashes.

The fallen demon beast rose back up, flew off in an indeterminate direction and crashed heavily into the ravine wall.

Deeerrrs

The earth seemed to tremble as a result of the collision of the demon snake monster with the ravine wall. Whana again jumped up, slashing her sword again, but the slash this time coupled with the mental energy channeled into the blade of the Sword God.

Slash

Just once slashed, the head of the demon monster split in two. Seeing once the slash could cut off the head of the demon monster in front of him, Whana was stunned for a moment, then she burst into laughter.

"I understand now! I understand now! It turns out that the incorporation of natural energy and mental energy can be done and produce extraordinary power," Whana said excitedly.

\[Ding! Congratulations Sir. Your cultivation has leveled up to become an Eighth level Transformation.\]

\[Ding! Congratulations Sir. Mental Energy adds 2 points, current mental energy: 23/10,000\]

\[Ding! Congratulations Sir. You get the Dark Element.\]

\[Ding! Congratulations Sir. The Heavenly Sword Technique has leveled up. Current level: 3/10\]

\[Ding! Congratulations Sir. The Wind Steps technique has leveled up. Current level: 6/10\]

Hearing the system notification, Whana smiled widely. Some of his techniques have also increased.

"With this power, fighting against four levels above me is as easy as flicking a finger." Whana said happily.
