Chapter 39: 39: Beneath the Surface Part 10, Leaving the Dark Tunnel

As Persia slithered through the Dark Tunnel leading to the Third Chamber. She looked around the Eternal Darkness with her Infrared Vision. It was Cold... It wasn't easy to see anything within the Dark Tunnel with its Cold Temperature. She heard the Sound of Water dripping from the Cold Rocky Walls around her. The Soft Breeze of Wind that sometimes passed through her Back or Front. It was like a sign of something breathing.

She was deep below the Surface. Wind Pressure couldn't exist within the Ancient Temple. It must mean that there must be a strong ventilation system heading to the Surface. She didn't know where it was, but the Ancient Temple must have an entrance on the Surface. As she traversed through the Darkness, A Thought passed through her mind.

'This will take time.' It has been an hour since she entered the Third Chamber Tunnel. Although she was traversing through it at a slow speed, She knew that she probably passed Tens of Kilometers. Even with this distance, She still couldn't see the Exit. The only thing she saw was the Darkness that engulfed her whole being.

'Let's take a rest for a while. I need to check many things before continuing my Journey.' Persia remembered many things she forgot during her travels. The Skills and her Points. She needed to investigate her Skills while she needed a plan about the Allocation of her Points. With this in mind, Persia stopped slithering and took a rest.

'Ego, Give me the Notifications about the Recent Attribute Skills I got.' Persia ordered Ego to find the Notification leading to the Attribute Skills. It has been a while since she took a look as she was fighting during the acquirement of the Attribute Skills. She only managed to see how she leveled up, but she didn't see a single word about her Attribute Skills.

<Understood.>

With Ego's word, Numerous Notifications began ringing on Persia's mind. It was annoying but not as annoying as before. She looked at the Notification Window and found the Notifications she wanted to see. She took a quick look and began reading the Notifications in front of her sight.

[Skill Status: Good.]

'I see... All of them are more or less connected to each other.' Persia thought as she furrowed her non-existent eyebrows upon reading the Notifications. All of the Recent Attribute Skills she got were useful, but some of them can be stack to each other and reached something that was above their full potential.

'Insight, Observation, and Awareness. With these Three Skills, I don't know what I could see.' Persia thought to herself. The Combination of Understanding, Seeing All Things, and Aware of Everything. It was very dangerous to try to combine the Skills. But that doesn't mean she would not try it. It's just not for now.

'This is becoming complicated.' Persia thought with a sigh. With her getting stronger, Her skills became complicated. It was something she wants and didn't want. She had Ego with her, so there was nothing to worry about. She also needed to find something that could make Ego better and stronger.

'Ego, Allocate 20 Points to Barrier. I will save the Remaining Points for now.' Persia ordered Ego to allocate the Points to Superior Barrier. It was clear that the Barrier was reaching Absolute. It would mean that she could get the strongest version of Barrier. The Third Absolute Skill within her was about to get created.

<Okay, Sister. Allocating 20 Points to Barrier. I wonder what would happen to Barrier...>

'The Evolution will tell.' Persia shook her head with a smile on her face. Ego was somehow excited by the Thought of the Absolute Version of Barrier. Even Persia understood the Excitement. The Second Main Weapon will reach the Absolute. It was like having two important trump cards.

Notifications then echoed within Persia's head.

[Superior Barrier has reached the Threshold.]

The Energy Consumption of the Skill has been lowered and polish to its max efficiency. The Control will be easy, but that would depend on the User's ability to control.]

[Skill Status: Overpowered.]

'Wow... This is a little bit hard to take in.' Persia thought to herself. She tried to calm herself from the excitement the Notification brought upon her. The Energy Consumption got lowered and was now efficient. The Control would be easy. And the Last Important Message, No Limit in Numbers.

'With this ability. I can spam and create an Army of Hard Weapons. They are Hard as my Scales. If I get stronger... The Barrier would be my Strongest Skill.' Persia thought to herself. She slowly began moving within the Dark Tunnel. She didn't know what to feel. Of course, it wasn't something that would protect her forever. She still needed to grow, and its hardness depended on her Attribute of Defense.

'The Skill would be useless against those that cannot get penetrated but against an Army. It would decimate it within seconds.' Persia began thinking about its usage. It was not powerful against Enemies with higher defense than hers. But the Armies with the numbers over hundreds of thousands or millions. She could fight them with ease.

<That's not the only thing it could do, Sister.>

Ego's Monotone Voice echoed within Persia's mind. Persia raised an eyebrow, hearing Ego's voice. She almost forgot that Ego had a feeling of excitement. Persia could feel Ego's excitement, although Ego's voice was somewhat Monotone. A smirk slowly appeared on her face.

'Give me your suggestions, Ego...' Persia ordered with a smirk. Ego was good at suggesting things. The Creativity within Ego's mind was growing, Although she still needed a reference for her idea. It was a good thing to give strange ideas on Persia's Skills. Ego wholeheartedly spoke with her Monotone voice.

<Have you thought about the things you could make with your Barrier, Sister?>

'Weapons? Swords, Daggers, Axes, Mace, Spears, and Hammers? I think we could only make Melee Weapons as our available Weapons that are useful for Barrier.' Persia answered Ego's question. She was curious about what was going on in Ego's mind. Ego then spoke with her Monotone Voice.

<That isn't the only thing you can make, Sister. With Barrier, All Things that Mankind made will be possible. From Vehicles, Weapons, Buildings, Etc. Sister can even make a Gun. The only thing Sister need is a Gun powder. Heck, Even the Best Weapon of Humankind is possible. Nuclear Technology.>

'Take it easy... We don't have enough power to spit on Nuclear Power. Our Adventure is at its beginning. We can aim high but to climb the peak is to find the perfect footing. Otherwise, we may fall down the mountain before reaching the peak.' Persia thought like a Wise Sage. She didn't know where the quotes came from, but she felt good about speaking like a Wise Sage.

<Such Words of Wisdom. As expected of my Teacher Sister. I'm sorry for my Foolish excitement. I will control it better and work hard to find the Perfect Footing.>

Ego spoke like a Student who had found a sudden realization of their own mistakes. It was a good thing to aim high but climbing to the Peak of the Mountain in impatience. Will cause Death. Persia was careful and cautious. She would strike when she was sure that she could do it. The Words of Wisdom she gave was also for herself. Finding the Fastest Way without looking around it was Dangerous.

'Such words could also be for me.' Persia thought as she continued slithering through the Dark Tunnel. It has been a while, and she was sure that she had enough rest. The Remaining Points will get used for Later If she could find something Worthy of her Points. Ego seemed to be quiet and was probably in the Soul Core.

'I need to reach the End.' Persia thought to herself. She still didn't see the end, but Persia didn't let it affect her. Her Infrared Skill was still active. She didn't dare to deactivate the Skill as it was important for her sight. She slithered at her Cruising Speed, but it seems that the End will take a while to reach.

'This will take time.' Persia thought as she traversed through the Dark Tunnel. As time passes by within the Dark Tunnel, She could see a Small Blinking Light in the Distance. She slithered towards it, and her speed got faster. It was the sight of the Exit she wanted to find and see. It was the End of the Dark Tunnel.

The Small Blinking Light slowly got bigger and bigger as Persia got nearer to the Exit. It changes into a Bright Light that engulfed Persia's entire being. Traveling a Dozen Hundred Kilometers was the longest journey she ever had. Even with her fast Cruising Speed, It still took a long time to reach the exit.

The Third Chamber finally revealed itself.

'A Library?' Persia saw the Third Chamber in its full glory. The Third Chamber was different than what she had originally thought. It was a Giant Library of incomprehensible size. Persia clearly doesn't want to get lost in this Library. She looked around and saw Bookshelves that towered like Buildings. Each Bookshelf contained Hundreds of Thousands of Books. It was a Place of Wisdom and Knowledge.
