《Hydar Celestial Imperium》Confrontation (09)
Advertisement
After a constant march we stopped at a huge excavated gallery or a kind of natural cave, the Balrug was nervous about being here.
Until from the many entrances a large number of Balrugs appeared, a stampede in itself.
They flooded the gallery, quickly blocking the exits, I was puzzled, I looked quickly at the little Balrug, he gave me an apologetic glance.
At that time I was very innocent, I did not know what the extreme survival of the jungle was, nor how others would use you sooner or later instead of one of their own.
A large albino reptilian being walked through the room, gazing into infinity as he tried to explain his past.
"Master, tell us what happened."
"Yes, tell us!"
The sharp voices of the young Hydar filled the silence
The Hydar Albino looked at everyone he had in mind as if just by looking at them he could know even the innermost depths of their secrets, their aspirations or their intrinsic personality.
Then he walked a few steps to the end of the great stone tower where they were, looked out of the large windows specifically at the still immense jungle, muttered a few words to himself.
The Balrugs had surrounded me as they chanted a kind of song impossible to understand. Before I knew it the Balrug with tears in his eyes had quickly escaped from my side.
He had even plunged into the crowd, unable to know where he had gone.
According to my analysis these creatures are not carnivorous and do not represent a real danger to me, but why do I have a strange and terrifying premonition about what is happening?
"SILENCE!"
A deep and dark voice flooded the interior of the cave that from the beginning remained in darkness, an uncontrollable shiver took possession of my body, my desires to escape from there in turn shot up.
But in the midst of all this, how had I not been able to detect this strange presence so far away?
I soon realized what I was facing

Some slimy sounds filled the air, something was slowly approaching, I tried to use my [Psionic Detection] quickly without success, this paralyzed me even more.
"YOU BROUGHT ME A SACRIFICE?!"
My eyes disengaged from their position, I could not believe, what I had gotten myself into, I had been tricked and now I was being thrown against a strange creature.
Watching my surroundings, the fury was eating my head, all those words were nothing but a bunch of lies, it didn't matter that I had saved one of them.
I quickly used my detection and radar to look for the main culprits, being all physically equal it was impossible to recognize them but somehow as if I had their mental signature I found them in the crowd.
They directed a glance at me and then quickly pulled it away, a sign that they didn't care, taking advantage of me and then using me by giving my life to a strange predator.
The flames were continually eating away at me, the fear turned to anger and I could finally see what I was up against.
The Being a kind of colossal snake, dark scales as the night and totally slimy that made suppose that secreted a yellowish poison.
I tried once more to use my detection in the vain hope that it would work.
[Species: Kiletrian]
[Title: Silent Stalker]
[Skills: [Information Conflict], [Information Conflict], [Information Conflict], [Information Conflict], [Information Conflict], [Information Conflict].
Level: [Information Conflict].
I was able to find out his species and title but for some reason I couldn't get the skills but a lot of conflicts came up.
"What a strange creature you are! I sensed you trying to look through me, but I won't let you know more about who I am!"
The Kiletrian was impassive with his voluminous body creeping around the scene, frightening the Balrug who were trying to hold their position.
"A little sack of bones, and skin, this is not what I asked for," he muttered, referring to me.
The Kiletrian hissed deeply with his long, red, fetid tongue, then quickly attacked the crowd, devouring some of the Balrugs present who, upon realizing the vast majority of what was happening, began to escape through the various tunnels.

"Wimps, I'm just my food."
The serpent swallowed several of them, I helplessly, unable, did not attempt to escape knew that the Kiletrian would hunt me down in a flash.
I watched the Balrugs being slaughtered, I did not know if I should feel good about what they had done to me or if I should try to help them.
My rage reached an uncontrollable point especially with that despicable being who had played with the Balrugs forcing them to turn me in and then be devoured.
Suddenly I could see the father of that young Balrug being devoured, I should hate him or I should do something.
Slightly, I was drawn away from reality until I fell into a deep sleep.
"All neural systems at full power, we have taken control of the individual"
"Perfect, we must devise a way to escape from here, as soon as possible."
I felt my body move dramatically and started to jump and dodge the hordes of Balrugs in panic, trying to escape from this place.
You, I will not let you escape, you are my prey!"
I heard the Kiletrian drilling inside me and it quickly slipped through the tide, crushing, pushing or devouring any morsel it had reached.
"We detected the Kiletrian, approaching.
"Let's initiate evasive maneuvers"
The Kiletrian tried several times to devour me but somehow and with a strange agility he could dodge again and again.
"You're very elusive, huh?!"
Suddenly the Kiletrian's speed multiplied instantly
"Reroute all power to the shield, prepare the Eolythians and Etrelys."
The gigantic Kiletrian caught up with me, he couldn't devour me instantly as I was able to avoid him but he gave me a kind of whip with his voluptuous body.
It crashed into my psionic barrier being strongly cracked.
"[Psionic Invocation Plus]"
I thought and said one of my skills after a huge wave of violet energy came from inside me, the mists filled the place.
"What kind of skills you have, little one!"
The Kiletrian shouted these words, I did not listen to him condensing the energy from the conjured mists at least half a dozen Eolythians and two Etrelyos were born.
"Due to the limited amount of psionic energy, we could only achieve these numbers"
The Eolythians and Etrelyos took a few moments to understand what they had around them, performed a kind of dance on the spot before the Kiletrian's bewildered gaze
The Kiletrian stopped being engrossed in these and once again set out to devour me.
But the Eolythians and Etrelyos did not leave him, though small, but in number the former unleashed their psionic rays while the latter charged strongly against him.
"You fucking weaklings are going to pay for this!"
The Kiletrian's attacks were in vain as the Eolythians and Etrelyos were disembodied beings, immune to physical attack.
The repeated rays of these spectral beings were causing a dent in the Kiletrian that saw its inability to fight them.
Quickly and with their abilities, they approached me and saw their jaws closing on me.
"DIE!"
His fangs were oozing that strange yellowish poison, while my psionic shield had managed to stop their onslaught.
"The Psionic Shield has stopped the impact but will not resist the pressure or the poison forever."
"Let's load up a psionic ray just like the yulek before."
The scene was unreal; a giant snake was beaten uncontrollably by a group of spiritual beings, while many others threw rays that burned their skin trying to pierce its thick scales.
Finally a powerful concentrated light shone in the hands of the young albino Hydar.
"WHAT IS THAT? WHAT ARE YOU?!"
His question remained unanswered and the Snake tried to give in as the light began to intensify. Finally, with its mouth half open and its body in retreat, it managed to penetrate the interior.

The Cosmic Interloper
Synopsis: A cyborg transhuman escapes her corporate indenture and through unfathomably unlikely circumstances, she ends up in a fantasy world of full of unique magic, angry people with sharp implements, and the whole flavor-spectrum of divine entities. Hilarity ensues. Features: - No blue boxes or cultivation, this is not a LitRPG nor about martial arts - Hard-ish Sci-Fi meets hard-ish magic - Generally trying to keep this "rational" Rationale: My primary goal with The Cosmic Interloper is to write something that I myself would enjoy reading. Of course, that’s not the only motivation, but I think it’s the most important one for me to keep in mind, especially as the author. In fact, this whole story came about because after consuming oodles of fiction, I found myself craving a very specific type of story which I couldn’t find many examples of. Then I asked myself, “why not write it myself?” and here we are. Disclaimer: In general, while I’m not writing a comedy, I do intend for this story to be funny and a bit wacky or absurd. That said though, I am using this story as a vehicle to explore some potentially dark topics including (but not limited to) slavery, speciesism/racism, and existential questions of self, consciousness, and identity. Still, I’m going to leave the “traumatizing content” tags off, because I don’t feel that what I’ve written so far (or plan on writing) exceeds the threshold that would be necessary for me to tag it thusly. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way she views the world is not the objective truth (if such a thing even exists).

8 117The Destiny Detour
In a kingdom putting together the pieces after a series of devastating magical wars, trouble is brewing. At least that's what the Seer's vague warning to Princess Lillya claims. That warning sends young Sorceress Rosaliy and enigmatic ruffian Drake from one end of the world to the other searching for answers (and lost magical children). The Destiny Detour is third in the Black Pearl Series, but the events of this story occur 10 years after the first two, and it focuses on different characters in the world. It should be able to stand alone. If you are interested, the beginning of the series is available on Amazon and most e-book places: https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B01AYLLKK8
