Chapter 15 Titan Nuclear Core
A forest within the Waste Station? Erian could hardly believe it. He had heard rumours about the waste station being somehow connected with the Steel Mountain Thousand Beast Forbidden forest, but he hadn\'t believed it at the time since no one actually dared to venture too deeply to clarify. But now, Erian could clearly see that the rumours were true.
\'It\'s no wonder why not many people survive this deep and probably why the three hundred meters safe zone had been formed.\'
Erian muttered and as he stared deeply into the forest, he couldn\'t help but be curious about the beasts within the forest. He had heard about various fortunes to be made and countless treasures just waiting to be plucked, but the dangers within were evident.
Erian hadn\'t even ventured within the forest and he had met a level eight beast just by the periphery. What if he went in, would he encounter a Colossal? Or possibly a Kaiju?
Those are monsters only Titans could face. Even the most powerful level Nine expert would be crushed lol ant underneath the power of a Ten-meter colossal or Titan.
The strength level was just one grade, but the distance between that one grade is like heaven to earth. A single Titan could crush a hundred level Nine experts without breaking a sweat! That\'s just how powerful they are!
In higher stages, Titans could utilise nuclear energies to form even more destructive attacks. At some point, Titans could absorb radiactive particles within their bodies and form a Nuclear core at that moment, yet they wouldn\'t just be ordinary body-grade Titan but a true Titan able to level an entire city with a single punch!
Thinking of this, Erian was naturally aware of the dangers within the forest and had no choice but to draw in his curiosity. The monsters within the periphery almost killed him. If he ventured within the forest without levelling up first, it was most certainly a suicide mission.
Shaking his head slightly Erian turned back to the Twin-horned crocodile and glanced at the body of the beast and he instantly got excited! Checking out the body, Erian figured he could earn about 100,000 Bronx for the parts of the beasts.
Just the steel horn could sell for about 10,000 Bronx, not to mention the flesh which could increase one\'s strength when eaten, the skin could be used to form inner armour could be sold for an astronomical amount of money.
But sadly, he couldn\'t carry the beast with him and he most certainly couldn\'t dissect the beast for its part. Just the blood alone would attract the attention of other beasts, something Erian would very much like to avoid.
Erian ignored his injuries. A pool of blood was already forming below the Twin-horned crocodile\'s body, the smell permeating the surroundings.
"I need to get out of here before the blood attracts other beasts." Erian withdrew the horn he had used to sever its neck, he hurriedly got to work, breaking off the other horn from its head with the first horn.
It took a moment but he was eventually successful. Erian\'s face turned ashen as he thought about the 100,000 Bronx he would lose from leaving the body of the Twin-horned mutated crocodile.
But thinking about the other monsters residing within this place and even within the Forbidden forest, Erian shivered and quickly limber himself backwards, holding the two horns like a dagger.
His eyes suddenly widened when a piece of information entered his line of sight.
[Name: Nuclear Inflating Serum ]
[Quality: Failed product, high-grade serum]
[Energy: 1,090]
[Effect: It can increase one\'s capacity for nuclear energy when ingested.]
[Absorbable]
Erian\'s body shivered and he almost screamed. It was actually a high grade failed serum! Not a low-grade failed product!
Just the residue was able to hold more than a hundred worth of other low-grade failed serum residue.
Immediately looking to the left and then to the right, Erian let out a sigh of relief noticing that no one spotted him.
"I really need to leave now." Erian has just ran three steps when he halted. His eyes widened.
[Name: Extractable Nuclear Antigen Serum ]
[Quality: Failed product, high-grade serum]
[Energy: 1,700]
[Effect: It supposedly contained an extracted gene of a winged colossal with a 10% chance of granting a Titan the chance of growing wings. But it\'s only just a failed experiment of a Novice Genemixer. Consuming might lead to destabilized genes, and may lead to imploding to death. ]
[Absorbable]
\'Genemixer? What\'s a genemixer?\' as he asked the rhetorically question, Erian\'s arms was quick to collect the syringe into his pockets.
"I should get going this time." Erian shook his head, but daring to glance at the other serums. If he delayed any longer here who knows what sort of monster would pop up.
He was already seeing a few Metal-seeking bug heading his way. They weren\'t particularly strong therefore Erian wasn\'t really worried about them.
He stomped his foot against a hug and Erian couldn\'t help but yelp, moving quite far from the bug. The less if the bug had actually punctured through his shoe and the his skin.
This even furthers his determination to head out of this place. Following the claw marks made by the Iron-skin Dwarve Rattus Erian finally saw the three hundred meter line after seven to ten minutes of fleeing.
Finally, Erian was able to get a slight bit of rest. He immediately sat cross legged on large pile of metal, his breathing was shallow but steady.
\'Fill my body with energy.\' As he though of this a thousand points of energy dissipated from his energy reserve.
Erian\'s body suddenly become saturated with vast amount of energy, white mist escaping from the crown of his head.
His breathing rythem which was changing suddenly calmed down. As though a massive gap had been released from his body, the most of nuclear energy was sucked into his body like a black hole.
Every cell, skin, tissues muscles. Everythinh in his body was being rejuvenated and strengthen by the vast nuclear energy.
