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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAnBISqJ63Ms
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAucVDkQHjYe
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANACmBu7zaoU9
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANABpHR9bZyBF
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAwpwW7PbECC
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAYiKK4pckWU
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAY7bDHTXFwN
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAWqEyKNoxrh
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAqGol6clr8X
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAscDIRMtE8o
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANALJLsOZWuih
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA5d5D36cyCc
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAVEaYSomCNk
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).
130Please respect copyright.PENANAeaBepqyM49
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANACXA0Qw8UwU
These Pits had different paths and corridors which were called:
Entrances and Clearings.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAn3Xh7YtwNy
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAnuiZmYMHfS
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAGfFkvombp2
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAPPWiSgB1Ro
The first few days that's exactly what Eleonad did. He mainly traveled at day until night fell.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA6RzXjb6BSH
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAX137rms9UJ
The night consistently were occupied from huge number of creatures who would multiply as they got out of their dens.
130Please respect copyright.PENANARvLDYVXkTa
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA3q1qliyvN8
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAaxLqiMwEPM
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAKBcBUQOLwu
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAl2DUis6PfS
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAumzel9XXsZ
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAwPvjTbU6W8
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAZQ63xQm6IG
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA2yrgNKKCKH
Eleonad had to slaughter enough spiders so he could open up a path through one of "The Entrances".
130Please respect copyright.PENANAtiHQYJfAgL
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAqVcbWv1DEk
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANARXaqGOTB36
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANApYdOIDYXJt
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAyIC6fq2DD3
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAMhNogqwh5Q
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAB6EkqD2eit
Fortunately the 3 meter one had taken a enormous bite to the sternum making it immobilized.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAnrOuKKItDS
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAO4td4nSWko
He rapidly rushed and jumped to the spider's sternum and decapitated with 3 instant sword swings as the spider screeched in pain.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAEne5x9Dbzl
"Shit" Eleonad cursed.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAk5E4mFjWEn
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANALwc6ZqOWcK
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAV2esHcnUMa
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAj0xmJrLlWg
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAee3GcnQSso
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANA0gCtCb3OEt
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.
130Please respect copyright.PENANAX3kjGsc6PS
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.
