Chapter 31 - 31-Beneath The Surface Part 2, First Chamber
As Persia entered through the First Chamber, She looked around cautiously and found herself in a Majestic Hallway. Giant Stone Pillars between the Ceiling and the Floor. There were Strange Stone Creatures that hold Giant Weapons. All of them were in the Majestic Hallway that was possible 50 Meters Tall. It was shocking as Persia remembered she was not that deep within the Surface. She may have descended without noticing. Persia planned to find a hiding spot within the Ancient Majestic Hall. n
'Unexpected for the Ancient Temple to be this Massive.' Persia thought to herself as she furrowed her non-existent eyebrows. She thought of the Ancient Temple as a Normal Ancient Temple, but her expectations got subverted. It was more than an Ancient Temple. It was probably an Ancient Temple of some Giant Empire that decayed or disappeared. She had no lead on what kind of Ancient Temple it was.
'But Humans probably didn't build this Ancient Temple.' Persia thought while she looked at the Giant Stone Creatures holding Giant Weapons. Humans couldn't build something this majestic. There was no evidence that humans Built this place, and the Doors were Bigger than Normal.
'I may be wrong as I don't have evidence that destroys the possibility of Humans building this place.' Persia shook her head as she looked at the Majestic Hall. She plans on finding the Frogs and Exterminating them. She would then head towards the Second Chamber and eliminate the Frogs inside.
'Why is there even a light in here?' Persia thought to herself. She could see the Blue Crystal illuminating upon her. It was the only thing that provided light in this Chamber. The Floor of the Majestic Hall or Chamber was Soft but rocky. Moss was clinging upon the Walls of the Majestic Hall, but it didn't lower the beauty and instead made it more Ancient.
'Where are they.' Persia thought while looking around the First Chamber. It took a while, but she could see a gathering of frogs. She stared at them from afar while hiding her body. She was currently right at the shoulder of the Stone Creature while looking at the Frogs in the distance. Persia could quickly handle them, but she felt the need to be cautious on traversing through an Enemy Territory.
'They are suspicious, and it seems that there are Female Frogs within them.' Persia thought to herself while staring at the Frogs from afar. The Blue Light provided her good sight at everything. 50 Frogs were gathering in front of her, but she felt a Frog stronger than Normal hiding within the group.
'Ego, is there a possibility of Frogs stronger than the ones I fought? Don't Include the Boss. They are Footsoldiers that are stronger than normal.' Persia asked Ego a Question that was important as she may underestimate the Strange Frogs. Ego answered Persia's question with her monotone voice.
<There is a possibility of such frogs existing. Their capabilities are currently unknown, and they are probably deep within the Normal Homoanuras. I would recommend Sister to be careful in exterminating them. We must not underestimate their capabilities, and they may have gotten strange abilities within this Ancient Temple.>
'So the Boss lackeys?' Persia thought with a question mark above her head. It seems that all of the stronger frogs had the possibility to be with the Boss. She needed to be careful as they may strike anywhere. It was a good choice to exterminate the weakest before attacking the main group. She might get cornered and forced to retreat.
<Yes, they are the Boss lackeys. It would be a good thing to exterminate them from weakest to strongest. That way, Sister could get stronger without worrying about the strange occurrences.>
'We'll assume that they exist and be careful on every movement. There is also a possibility of Traps existing within the Ancient Temple. But they may be disabled or already used.' Persia nodded to herself and continued looking at the Frogs. She was curious about the Ancient Temple, and she plans on investigating it after exterminating the Frogs.
'I need to check the existence of stronger footsoldiers, so I will charge and force them to fight me.' Persia thought to herself as the Number of Strong Footsoldiers here might not exceed 5. It was a Good testing site to see the Strong Footsoldiers or Elite Footsoldiers of the Frogs.
<That is a good plan... The Current Frogs within the Chamber are only 50 Frogs, so the Elite Footsoldiers might not be a lot. We could test their capabilities and force information out of them.>
'Ego, could you use the Droplet of Death?' Persia wanted to know if Ego could still use the Droplet of Death. She wanted to control it, but it would be hard. She could try practicing, but she was planning on fighting the Frogs. The Droplet of Death was an Overpowered Weapon that was within Persia. The Only Thing that could defend someone against it was blocking it via inanimate objects or non-biological things.
<Yes, Only Sister's Order could make me use it.>
'I want to use it on my signal. We will charge through them.' Persia thought to herself with a smirk plastered on her face. The Possibility of the Stronger Frogs was high. Persia would rather use this as a good time to draw them towards her. She could observe them and find distinctive characteristics. She could use the information for later extermination.
'Let's Start.' Persia began listening to the Vibrations. After listening to the song that was within her Mind. Her head rose from the ground. She began flicking her tongue and use her Infrared Vision to observe every single part of the Chamber. After checking the Whole Chamber, It was time for Persia to start the First Chamber Extermination. She slithered towards the Frogs that were gathering within the Chamber.
The Homoanuras gathered within the Center of the Majestic Hall. The Blue Light Illuminated them while the edges of the Majestic Hall covered themselves in darkness. They were peacefully resting within the Chamber. All of them were only half a hundred. The First Chamber was known as the Mate Grounds. The Frogs would find their own Mate and head to the Second Chamber. The Second Chamber was the breeding grounds.
They felt a strange presence that engulfed the whole Chamber. The Presence was completely different from their own. It would mean that an Intruder managed to enter the Ancient Temple. All of them looked at the Distance and saw something slithering towards them. It was their Predator.
The Frogs got shocked and surprised at seeing a Creature near them. The Ancient Temple was well protected, and it was their home for years. It was the only place where they felt safe and continue their family. No Predator had managed to enter quietly in the Ancient Temple without alarming other Frogs.
The Homoanuras quickly went into the defensive and froze in their place. The Homoanuras Society valued Female Frogs as they were uncommon. They were weaker than Male Homoanuras, but they can provide 100 Eggs every month. The Homoanuras had a problem with breeding due to their strange genetic makeup. They were far from normal frogs.
The Female Frogs began escaping to the Second Tunnel. The Second Tunnel was in the Edge of the Majestic Hall. They move hysterically while heading towards the Second Tunnel. The Male Frogs blocked the path that was heading towards the Second Tunnel. They would need to hold the creature and wait for the Reinforcements.
A White Serpent slowly revealed itself into the Everglowing Crystal Blue Light. It was Cold and Calm as it looked upon the Male Frogs that tried to block its way. The Presence it gave was full of suspense and horror. It slithered slowly while staring at the Female Frogs escaping from the Majestic Hall.
The Majestic was quite Humongous. Even if the Female Frogs hopped for their lives, The White Serpent could still see them from afar. The Defending Frogs wanted to give time for their Female Frogs. They began charging up their Spit Venom to attack and kill the White Serpent, but unfortunately for them. The Females were the First Target.
The White Serpent charged through the Defending Frogs breaking their Formation. It continued charging and was heading towards the Female Frogs. Within the Group of 50 Frogs, 20 Female Frogs escaped the White Serpent, but the White Serpent's Speed was too fast, and it quickly arrived right next to the Female Frogs.
The White Serpent looked right at the Female Frogs with Cold Eyes and began to open its Jaw. It swallowed the First Frog without any resistance and quickly ate the Rest. The Male Frogs couldn't do anything as they were too far and too slow. They began preparing their formation, and their Venom was already deep within their Mouth.
One way to exterminate an Entire Civilization or Animal Family was to exterminate everything that could produce more of the said Civilization and Animal Family. After Killing the Females, The Whole Family would follow, and the Extermination Procedure would be considered complete.
The 20 Female Frogs escaping the White Serpent got disposed of. It was the Male's turn to be eaten. The White Serpent looked right at the Male Frogs. The Male Frogs would have to fight the White Serpent to escape death. They would have to protect and kill the White Serpent for the Future of their entire Family. They began forming a Formation to kill the White Serpent.
The White Serpent furrowed its non-existent eyebrows and flicked its tongue. As it Flicked its tongue, A Black Droplet fell from its mouth and levitated to the Air. It was the Droplet of Death. It could easily kill any biological creature in contact. It was dangerous for those that didn't have any Toxin resistance.
As the Droplet of Death levitated near the White Serpent, It began orbiting the White Serpent's Head. The Cold Eyes of the White Serpent gleamed with brilliant light that signified the Droplet of Death to begin moving. The Droplet of Death charged to the Male Frogs like a Bullet.
One of the Frogs began opening its Mouth and Fired multiple venoms like a Machine Gun. The White Serpent got surprised. But a smirk slowly formed within its face. The White Serpent ignored the Venom that was heading towards it. The Droplet of Death continued moving and hit all of the Male Frogs.
The Male Frogs dropped one by one without letting out the Venom within their body. The Venom slowly left their body while the Bacteria of Gluttony began eating the Frog's Skin. They Left the Flesh and Body for their Master to eat. The Only Remaining Frog was the one that fired the Machine Gun Venom.
'Ego, could you lower the intensity of my Venom?' Persia wanted to lower the Venom Intensity as the Frog would die. She didn't want to see the Remaining Frog dying as she just recently saw it releasing Venom like a Machine Gun. A Monotone Voice echoed within Persia's head.
<I can Lower the Venom to the Low Neurotoxin Level.>
Persia nodded and slithered towards the Male Frog at a fast speed. She then bit the Frog's Body, and the Male Frog froze. After biting the Frog, It was time for Persia to continue with her feast. She looked around and saw that she could only eat 49 of them. She hoped that the Frogs were enough.
'Let's eat them...' Persia opened her Jaw and began eating the Remaining Ones. Her Digestion Speed was fast and strong that it dissolved a frog within a minute. After eating the frogs within the First Chamber, Persia looked around and curled her body. She would handle the Male Frog later. For now, she wanted to Level Up peacefully.
Multiple Notifications echoed within her Mind.
