Chapter 460 - Camping: Luck (2/2)

'Run, where?' Nik felt his vision turn dizzy but before succumbing to an unprecedented confused state, he hurriedly took out his [Smite Token] while spreading his pheromones to resist the pressure. As if attracted to the scent, the worm finally shifted its body and straightened half of its back to 'stand' and look towards Nik with eyes that were markedly predatory.

”Fuck it! I am attacking it and that's your cue to run! I have another method if this doesn't work so move!”

Nik hissed and waved his hand with the gravity infused elemental energy pouring out of his body and turning into a deep purple cone right in front of him. The surroundings close to the cone twisted in a mind-numbing manner that made Ray's eyes widen. Gravity Cone, a method of condensing the gravity with the area near the point shredding and colliding against the area near the surface of the cone. In essence, the stab of this cone would grind the area in an extremely grotesque fashion and its speed was far better than other condensed shapes.

”I—”

A deep growl resounded within the trio's mind as Nik shot the cone towards the midsection of the worm when suddenly...

Krrthct!

The body of the worm twisted with a sickening crunch and under the trio's astonished expression, the worm was torn into half. The shock was even dangerous for the three spirits that sucked in a cold breath.

[Host has killed the first million-year-old Skydream Ice Worm.

World Root Gained: 7.9%

Total World Root: 28.55]

”Huh?”

Nik wheezed as he felt drained. He had never pushed himself in a single attack by this much. The condensation of gravity itself brought great pressure to his physique and if it wasn't for Nik's level 10 boost— Condensation, he wouldn't have been able to condense anything other than a simple barrier and gravity rune over the girls.

Just like Nik, Ray and Klas were stumped, too. But when they saw the white-gold spirit ring emerging from the corpse of the ice worm as its green blood drenched the land, they snapped back to attention. Instantly, Nik handed moved his hands in wild gestures while placing down a large empty tub as he controlled the flowing blood and filled the tub to the brim, effectively draining the blood before placing it within his inventory. Next, Nik eyed the slightly golden glow on the head of the beast. Noting internally to check for a possible spirit ring, Nik placed the corpse within his inventory, too. He then looked at the two behind him and smiled only to see Ray frowning in annoyance.

”Umm... I just gained another spirit...” The succubus stated, ”This guy,” pointing towards the floating spirit ring, ”says that he had been finding a host for himself for the longest time. But since you killed him, its spirit ring would now get practically wasted because both of us are not able to absorb it in our current condition. In his words... it's the ring of gods...”

”Oh,” Nik didn't feel too stumped. This is what Sky stated a moment ago alongside the most satisfactory way to utilize the spirit ring. ”Apologize to him from me... it's actually good that he lives. Can you confirm if he wanted to hurt us?”

Nik tilted his head as he continued to spread his pheromones to clear the scent of the beast. Who knows what this weak monstrosity brings alongside its scent. Meanwhile, Ray closed his eyes. For a minute, aside from the rustling trees, everything fell silent. Meanwhile, Nik continued to comfort the terrified Moon as the pressure brought by a million-year-old spirit beast might have been stupidly wreaking.

”No, it says. Oh, by the way, this spirit is named Skydream Ice Worm... and he has some strong opinions for you. He also says that if you hadn't killed him, then he would have chosen you as his host.”

”Tch, I don't want any male presence in my head. I guess, we both profit from this but...”

Nik looked towards Klas. Although she had awakened her spirit after coming to this world, just like the duo, she still hadn't absorbed a single spirit ring. In fact, Nik had already shared his knowledge regarding the effect of absorbing compatible spirit rings and even if she had no access to her spiritual world or the fact that her spirit wasn't sentient, Nik had slight confidence in compiling the list.

”Master... you are safe. That is the best outcome for me.”

Klas whispered as Nik nodded in understanding. Then, under the surprised gazes of the duo, Nik spoke plainly while beckoning Gojira to hurry to his location.

”Protect me... I'll be committing another pro gamer move...”
