536 Chapter 536: The Small Ocean
In the distance, a faint glow caught his attention. Even in the low visibility, he could still see that glow which was at least a few miles away from him.
The light was subtle, like a mere flicker in the sea of darkness. The footsteps were also leading him towards that distant flicker.
Eren headed toward the light. As he approached, the essence of death seemed to grow heavier, as if it was wrapping around him.
If he hadn't crossed the fifth great wall before entering this strange place, he was certain that the oppressive atmosphere would've been enough to make him go crazy.
The glow grew brighter as he neared, revealing what appeared to be a large body of shining blue liquid.
"An ocean? No, it can't be. In a world where everything is much larger to my perception, it's too small to be an ocean. It must be some kind of large pond or lake," he mused, taking in the sight before him.
There was no black mist above the pond. Finally, his visibility had improved and he was able to see across most of the pond. As far as his eyes could see, he only saw that blue liquid and no end to the pond.
"I am certain that the footsteps led here. But where is the owner of those footsteps?" Eren wandered, landing next to the pond.
He didn't try to fly above the pond. He still hadn't forgotten the story about the river of Life and Death. He didn't want to enter the water, not knowing what was at the depths of it.
He was wondering about the whereabouts of the person that had arrived here, but he couldn't find any signs. The footsteps had simply ended in front of the pond.
The person had clearly entered what looked like the water of this world. However, even if he was paid enough, he wasn't going to try drinking this strange water, let alone entering it.
In this chaotic world, he couldn't even find the person whose footsteps he had followed. How was he going to find the person that was his so-called brother?
The difficulty of this task was finally setting in, especially since he couldn't feel any connection to the Spirits he had left behind.
His guardian was still connected to him, but she couldn't reach him because of unknown forces of hell. Even Eren hadn't expected something like this before coming here.
He was truly on his own. It was a do or die situation, where he couldn't expect others to help him.
He was even starting to grow hungry, with the essence of death slowly clawing at his aura. He brought out the heart of the Necromancer that he had saved, and took a bite of it, recovering some of his essence.
In a world that strengthened a Necromancer, being anything else was a sin. Eren was probably the only person in the world who could take advantage of a Necromancer's body while being in hell.
He took a bite of the heart, recovering some of his strength. He also gained some of the death's essence of the Necromancer which was blessed by hell.
As he took the last bite of the heart, he wondered if he should think about other leads.
As if his fate had taken a sudden turn, something changed. Eren watched as the water began to rise in the distance, like a tsunami was about to arrive.
With the water receding to the sides, the figure of a human became clear. It was a woman, her long silver hair clinging to her bare skin.
Sparkling droplets trickled down her flawless skin as she wiped her face with her hand.
Normally, seeing a woman in a pond would be a normal sight, albeit somewhat uncommon. But this was far from ordinary, for the woman was a giant. Eren had to stress his neck to even look at her face.
He didn't even have to hide from her. With how large that woman was, he was certain that she couldn't even notice him. Unless her vision was extremely good, he was going to appear as no different than a mosquito to a human. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Eren could already feel his neck aching, raising his head high. Tired, he lowered his head, not expecting to see something entirely different which even made him somewhat embarrassed.
Her chest was also out of the water, being as large as a small mountain for someone his size. Although he tried to be a gentleman and avoid the sight, it was still fascinating to him as a man.
Ever since he had Transmigrated, he had experienced so many new things. There was a fairy who was tiny, and now there was a woman who was a giant. The world was truly filled with wonders.
"She is strong."
Her attractive physique wasn't the only thing that caught his attention. He could also feel that she was quite strong.
Was she as strong as the Tower Master? He wasn't sure. The only thing he knew was that she was dangerous.
The first person he found in this world randomly, was also letting his instincts warn him. He already expected Hell to be dangerous, but it was slowly setting even more on him.
While Eren was watching the girl, taking dips inside the water, he felt the ground tremble. He heard the sound of footsteps that were so loud to him that they sent his ears buzzing.
He was forced to use the Dragon Tongue to lower his hearing threshold temporarily, looking back.
The sound of footsteps grew even larger and soon, another giant figure came to his sight. It was another pale woman who looked like she had barely any blood on her body.
"Are you here?" she asked, looking at the pond.
"Didn't I tell you to not disturb me when I'm here?" The girl came out of the water again, opening her lips to reveal the sharp vampire-like fangs.
