It was late. The sun was beginning to bleed out and he had no energy to keep on. To make the matter worse he fell in the worst possible place he could of. Before him laid a soless body impaled from a huge sharp rock. Headless. His head nowhere to be seen.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAwUoWxJ62z2
He was in a huge site of death called *The Pit* (in the native language). It's tunnels so vast and ginormous that expanded through the whole world.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAyCu9xPRcxQ
They were massive craters which were created maybe millions of decades before and they had overpassed the life of most beings on earth. They reached so deep inside the core of the earth that you could find hundreds of cave systems.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAm3o5Pc23yC
A ordinary human wouldn't be able to survive and get out of there alive. Inside of these pits laid creatures of the night and if you had just typical average human capabilities you wouldn't wanna cross one of them.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAqXuvmNB9qj
But not Eleonad D'right. He was a browned eye, black haired man in his 30's, 6 ft 2 with 85 kg of pure muscle and manly jaw. He always had his sword with him and he didn't go anywhere without it in his possession not just because it was a necessary item to fight unwanted threats but looks like it was a aerlume that was passed from his family through generations.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAzwZKHz1peg
The Pits were not to be reckoned with even for the most skillful of fighters. But Eleonad had been trained since he was a small child on the art of beast hunting and has adapted in almost every situation possible of every creature seen and encountered by a man.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAgAmwUYL793
He was a one man killing machine with enhanced human capabilities, great strength far superior of that of a normal human being, agility and speed.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAHcSAWOClsE
Eleonad was also a master swordsman
and had more then 25 years combat experience, but probably the most notable martial art he possessed was monster hunting or as called Ascension.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA9r0BaHbWAm
Ascension was a variety of old martial art techniques which was focused on hunting down or defending against various types of creatures and fighting arts. In order to achieve and fully acquire this art you had to go extensive training in many numerous monsters, settings and situations.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAQm5VsutA87
Getting back on track Eleonad had spend 2 days inside these particular pit and was exhausted to death after repeatedly fighting distinct types of beasts.
188Please respect copyright.PENANASVMY2AuAvt
He had enough food and resources to last for 1 more day and so he was not eating properly and didn't have sufficient nourishment to keep up with the creatures he was encountering.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA4w7SjKqH3R
To put it simply the human body needs food to operate. Food gives the body the necessary energy and has the proficiency to heal. Of course a normal healthy human can go 3 weeks without food but water was another problem.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA2DQwqN6xHg
He had drained every single bit of it and had only 3 days to get out of the pit to survive. The human body can survive up to 3 days without water, after that it shuts down.
188Please respect copyright.PENANACMjlcq5Lul
Of course this was not a lightly taken task because to get out of these pits was not easy even for the most experienced "Osgard" (How a Monster Hunter was called on the native language).
188Please respect copyright.PENANARi75jy9QbD
On average you could get out in 12-15 days because of the mostly narrow and almost labyrinth style of construction that they had. But you could do it for less or more time defying on the circumstances.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA1U43hsc4uK
These Pits had different paths and corridors which were called:
Entrances and Clearings.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAOkqqkStYmV
Entrances were dark sometimes tight corridors and caves with ridiculous number of creatures and were obviously taken if it was exceptionally necessary or as a last resort.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAciOVj4W4Sq
Clearings were spacy parts of the pit which had a huge advantage, the light of the sun was able to reach. In order to survive you would have to stay the furthest amount on time in these sections.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0jfL7Rth8
The only down side was that when the night falls or the creatures come out of the caves and wonder around freely. The best course of action in these kind of situation was to find a hiding place and lower your heart rate so that they wouldn't sense your presence.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAvp3rU8pMAs
The first few days that's exactly what Eleonad did. He mainly traveled at day until night fell.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA917Asu55Bf
At day time he would cover the longest amount of traveling and at night he would reduce it until was not safe to travel anymore.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAa1nkN1E19c
The night consistently were occupied from huge number of creatures who would multiply as they got out of their dens.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA3UERVttOfd
So he used mediation and breathing techniques which were executed for using the least amount of energy and lowering heart rate and blood pressure. That was fundamental for full capacity precision during day time since sleeping wasn't an option because he had to be wary for surprising monster assaults.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAfpXkmR2fL3
Eleonad walked for exactly 2 hours until he neared 2 pathways. In the right pathway he was able to determine that it had no air circulation after at least 150 m.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAt0FsrkYncE
Master's are able to sense monsters in a radius of 150 m and since he was not able to sense any of them after 150 m he determined that the air circulation was limited thus no chance of survival. Although less monster equals good, the oxygen was required for survival.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAXxV5yu5cIO
From the left pathway came a strong breeze of cold air and had monster tracks alongside the entrance. Monster tracks often consisted of human remains, blood, scratches, huge nests etc.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA9LoaEm06rS
He passed into the left one and arrived to the first Clearing in which he had to meditate and lay low for at least 10 hours until daylight provided passage. If he moved he risked of being a target of nearby monsters so he stayed in place until morning.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAeWKukhM9lU
Finally he arrived at his first monster nest. This one was consisted of Giant Spiders. The only way to kill them was by conflicting huge amounts of damage to the body or decapitation.
188Please respect copyright.PENANArQRwt2SoUL
These kind of spiders weren't any different from the normal one's but of course they varied from anywhere to 3-10 meters long. Their food consisted of large animals, birds and even humans.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAutjZV8HSiG
The best way to survive was to pass them undetected but considering the large amount of them through the passage that was not an option.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAlbodQiiDpO
Eleonad had to slaughter enough spiders so he could open up a path through one of "The Entrances".
188Please respect copyright.PENANAveADVYoYFR
He got his sword ready on the right hand and on the other he had a metal glove with spikes along the fingers which was used to perform extra damage.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAGf64G02dhu
The first spider was a 2 meter one, he could easily catch it off guard and cut his head right of with his sword and that's exactly what happened. But this was not going to work with the other bigger spiders.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAaWBFvB3ZvU
The bigger ones had thicker and harder exoskeletons and it had to be weakened first before dealing the killing strike. The other spiders were alarmed by the sudden extermination of one of their kind and begun to attack Eleonad.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAiPqp6o2JvP
First a 4 meter spider with big fangs like claws tried to bite the lower part of his leg and another 3 meter one tried to bite out his arm. But he quickly got out of the way inflicting massive damage to the 3 meter spider cutting out 2 of its legs and doing a jump flick dodging the 4 meter one.
188Please respect copyright.PENANASPu9DxMPBH
Because of this action the bigger spider accidentally stuck his fangs to the other damaged smaller spider. Like all spiders they had the ability to inject venom on their prey quickly killing them so they could devour their prey easier.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA7tuMSpeoar
Even so they were immune to their own specific venom, so in order to create an antidote you had to kill the spider who bit you and inject their hemolymph to the blood stream, because of this a spider wasn't immune to a other's venom.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAewQeoxRQHM
Fortunately the 3 meter one had taken a enormous bite to the sternum making it immobilized.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAKvxj5hFxB0
The fangs of the 4 meter spider were stuck to the thick exoskeleton of the spider that it had bit and Eleonad wasn't to take this opening for granted.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAgmEnrrLMcC
He rapidly rushed and jumped to the spider's sternum and decapitated with 3 instant sword swings as the spider screeched in pain.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAlDwTrBTGax
"Shit" Eleonad cursed.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA88TYH7KlzZ
A 10 meter spider appeared. It's fangs were at least 1.5 meters long and 1 meter thick. The exoskeleton was at least 5 times thicker and stronger, so if he was able to land an attack it would probably break his sword. Most of the 10 meter spider web's were toxic, if it would touch living tissue it would instantly burn it off.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAUMDgPFRdku
Eleonad was strong but he knew when to back out of a fight. The only way to escape without being seen was to wait out for the spider to look for another hunting place.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAtYHMlLpIgi
He had no place to hide, expect inside the body of the other exterminated spiders.
"Fuck me" he sighed as he removed his clothes and cut the spider open to get inside.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAT3Cs4j4eet
After 8 hours of nice relaxing sleep inside the spider he got out and wore his removed clothes and begun once again walking through the never ending pit.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAEVhfTZvmi7
His food and water stock was depleting and he had to find the quickest way to get out. First he had to find a water supply.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA6gig2jZXdk
The solution was simple he had to find vegetation (trees, plants etc) and he had to dig a few feet in the ground to find running water. Of course after extracting the water he had to purify it. You could do that by setting a fire. After setting the fire you'd have to boil the water until it had rolling bubbles. Then after letting it to cool you have drinkable and purified water.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAp8bE6CLTgP
That's exactly what he did after finding a small garden of plants. The amount of water that he gathered was tiny but it had to do for the remainder of the trip.
