Chapter 192 - An Elven Demigoddess Caught In A Swarm Of Bugs
-----
A young elven woman with short green hair and aquamarine eyes found herself within the depths of a wild jungle. Her expression looked concerned, shocked, and frustrated.
She looked everywhere around herself worriedly, as she began to run around this immense jungle where she could hear the monstrous screeches of creatures quickly approaching her.
She was an Elven Demigoddess, that of Nature and Hunting named Elfaunnia. She had joined the large Pantheon of Gods created by the supreme entity if brightness many years ago in search for a refugee from the wild world outside, or well, the wild Universe.
Even for Demigods, the Universe outside was a dangerous place. It was said that only beings at Supreme God Level such as the Supreme Deity of Brightness that dominated this Solar System had any chance to survive the deeper areas of the Outer Universe where dangers abounded in every corner.
Even Demigods, who are more than capable of traveling across the vacuum of space were incapable of fighting back against the dangers of this Universe completely. The powerful Cosmic Beasts were able to easily best them even as children, and these creatures were like the equivalent to wild monsters in other planets, abundant everywhere they went.
Many areas within the Outer Universe were also dominated by other larger groups of entities above Supreme God Realm, and there were many terrifying beings that were not even people but just Cosmic Beasts that had lived for eons.
Even a Demigod wandering by itself across the Outer Universe would only be calling for a quick death if it were to get accidentally inside a domain of such entities, and it wasn\'t as if we had ever introduced these massive Pantheons of many other Godly beings or above that dominated larger areas, beings of such strength that they could even devour stars. And there were even beings capable of conquering black holes or possess entire Galaxies…
The dangers of the outer Void were various and many, Demigods didn\'t stand a chance.
Due to this, the Elven Demigoddess had found shelter in such a place and had been moving doing small quests for resources rewarded in the Pantheon around the Solar System. Demigods were at the very least strong enough to fight against the beings across this Solar System, which was being dominated by their leader, the Supreme Deity of Brightness.
The quest here was simple, slay a monster that was even below their own Realm, but in the way, they ended fighting against a massive fleet of Mindflayers that also Demigod-level entities within them, and many ended being killed as their corpses wandered the outer space, orbiting the planet hopelessly.
Elfaunnia wanted to get done with this hellish task and go back home, she began to quickly regret her decisions as she continued to flee through the Jungle, she quickly realized that the ceiling was not open but that of a dungeon, she was still inside the dungeon, just teleported into another biome.
She continued to flee anywhere, dexterously, and agile, she moved extremely well across the Jungle and all its wilderness, nonetheless, the beasts lurked closer to her as they finally confronted her in massive groups of over twenty. Gigantic and horrid bugs of all shapes and sizes, massive dragonflies, powerful and tanky horned beetles, enormous wasps, and terrifying and gigantic scorpions and spiders.
"S-Shit! Where the heck am I?!" She didn\'t spoke pretty words like most elves.
And the worst part was that she hated bugs of all kinds and felt an utter horror by seeing so many gigantic invertebrates at once! She felt a shiver run through her spine, as she readied her magic and nature heard her call, an aura of bright yellow and emerald light encompassed her body, as the roots of the trees began to move and shape as spears quickly slaughter large groups of monsters in seconds!
The bugs gathered around her and tried to kill her right away, but she evaded their monstrous jaws and continued to fight desperately against them, her arrows began to flash with bright emerald light as she fired them continuously, powerful explosions of roots took over the majority of the bugs and consumed them, entangling them in deadly vines and powerful and resilient bark-cored roots. The bugs began to die one by one, as Elfaunnia fought for her life while flying away.
However, she quickly realized that some of these creatures were able to evade her attacks, and some even were capable of resisting them, they were after all not common monsters but powerful Demigod-rank Divine Beasts!
Of course, a Demigod-Rank Divine Beast would never compare to the strength, intelligence, and techniques of a Demigod humanoid being, whose strength techniques and intelligence were superb compared to the wild instincts of these animal-like beasts.
Nonetheless, they were many, and were flooding her paths to escape, from both the ground and the skies. The ground surged with massive earthworms, while the skies came with enormous flies, dragonflies, and other horrendous flying bugs, while she fought against all of this and left a trail of disgusting bug juices everywhere, she began to remember that she had once thought she would never have to get through major difficulties when she joined this pantheon.
Well, those were nothing but delusions. Her heart was beating fast, and she was scared out of her life to fight and do anything else to survive!
Chaos, Abyss, and Ifrit glanced at her from afar, Chaos decided to use this same tactic with all Demigods.
Indeed, it felt repetitive, but it was the best shot he had at abusing his own powers to its fullest. Chaos was a meticulous young man, and he desired to only fight battles he could realistically win, due to this, weakening his foe with such a cheap tactic as flooding them with small fries until they were to get tired and could not move as well as before was the best shot, he had at slaughtering these beings, the Demigods, frightening entities of the Outer Universe!
