Chapter 20: The Yggdrasil
After a week, Bell was able to keep the Legendary Super Saiyan transformation up to 45 minutes now. Meaning, he can fight with it on up to 22 minutes and 30 seconds, but sometimes longer or shorter.
Bell created one another Container Machine for Mino to train for his Skill, Fire Rage. A skill where only Mino could possess and can only be controlled by meditating and going berserk just like the Legendary Super Saiyan state.
--------------------------------------------------
A week before these all happened.
"Hey, Mino! Do you have some kind of skill you know or something?" Bell asked
Mino answered, "Oh you mean, my Fire Rage?"
"Yeah, what about that, what does it do, or does it increase your power since it's a rage?" Bell asked many questions frequently making it hard for Mino to answer.
But Mino still able to answer them one by one, "About it, it can only be used by only me, but how to use it is what I don't know. What it can do is, it can make myself shrink a little bit making my body smaller and more agile, I think. Well yes, it does increase my power in exchange for my control but it can be controlled if I meditated and control my rage."
"Well, it looks like I need to build you one of my Container Machine then."
And then after a whole day until night, Bell created another Container Machine.
--------------------------------------------------
These two are now best buds when it comes to rage and they'll go berserk if you made them angry and go all out. They are the Legendary Rage Masters to be, they will be in the near future.
"Mino, did you know that the gravity in there is 10 times stronger?" Bell asked teaching him how this place works.
"Was it really that strong? And what is gravity?" Mino answered with another two questions.
"Yes, it is strong. About gravity, it is the force that keeps us from going out of this world." Bell answered and continued, "The stronger the gravity, the heavier the things and faster falling of objects." he gave him some hint to know what it was about.
They are now done preparing, Bell wears Trunks clothes just for fun and it is easy to move with. Mino, however, wants to wear some clothes but he can't wear the ones inside his wardrobe because he'll just rip them off.
After that, they are now travelling through the other side of the maze since it has a pathway that goes to the Yggdrasil.
While travelling through the maze, they were sometimes ambushed by other Minotaurs or they met with them in an unexpected way.
They also stop for a break and sometimes one takes a nap and the other was acting as a lookout if there are some enemies approaching them.
They also went lost in the maze that took them at least 3 days and finally, the two got out of the maze. Bell was happy to get to the other side of the maze, however, his stats are now going down as the gravity increases and it only affects him not Mino, making it look like he will need some assistance sometimes.

Now, travelling through the Dark Forest, kinda sounds like ice cream but nevermind, they are having a hard time travelling through as it was really DARK. The blame's on Bell as he was the one who make it like that.
The darkness inside the forest was almost light eating place where: light is dull, even at daytime or at exact 12 o'clock PM. However, Bell was able to see using his Ki sense and used it using his eyes, he can see if it is ki of a monster or just trees around him. Mino can't see that much as he was not able to use ki.
Monsters attacked more frequently than the Maze, it was because Mino was big and can attract many monsters as he was big and strong. Monsters are most likely to attack humans in group or the strong ones. More importantly, it's not a problem for both Bell and Mino, it's just that they are appearing from time to time and it makes them angry and finish them instantly.
Since there are a lot of monsters around them, Bell decided to be on watch and Mino should rest as Mino was mostly being targeted, but Mino insisted that, he should be the one who will be on watch despite of being hurt badly. Bell only frowned as he was not able to survive if not for Mino, his friend and his minion, disciple or something.
The same day happened in 3 days since the Dark Forest was indeed, very big. On the next day, Bell insisted to be the one on watch tonight as he was afraid that Mino will disappear in the middle of battle, so he won over Mino making him sleep and he'll be guarding the whole place if there are monsters around their vicinity in a 6 meter radius because it's not too far, not too close.
Finally, they managed to find a light coming from one direction, it means that they can get out of the forest. When they got closer they saw something, but something was up and it's too fishy to see red lights but instead, a giant one-eyed monster with six arms and has multiple legs, but this one has 8 legs which is, very seem to be agile and fast enough to catch up at least, in my estimation, 30 to 40 kilometers per hour.
"Wait wha— an Antares?!" since he completely read all the volume of its manga comics and he can still remember all the monsters, he's also an otaku who was reading many action-packed manga.
Mino confronted first the Antares, blocking it to protect Bell from being hurt as his stats were, nerfed or reduced temporarily.
The Antares initiated the battle first by bashing Mino with its speed and strength, however, Mino was able to block it and if not, they're both dead for sure and if he dodged and Bell was not fast enough, Bell would be dead and Mino would go in rage but still not able to defeat it. But, with the two of them, They can defeat it with at least, difficulty without going for rage. And if they did, they would be able to finish it up a little bit faster.
Mino first activated his skill Fire Rage, turning his body a little bit smaller but more deadly by reducing his own endurance by 20% and increasing his both strength and agility by 35%. On the other hand, Bell was recharging by getting energy from the forest, with fully charged energy, he transformed to his Legendary Super Saiyan, making his hair change into green color, increasing his strength by 40%, but since it was limited with time, it must only be used in emergency and emergency only, like fighting the Antares which was very difficult to defeat without the spear in the manga and it was not the right time.
Bell first attacked at the moment he transformed after Mino blocked the assault and activated his Fire Rage Skill, hitting the Antares directly at its hard shell like skin but soft when Bell's fist hit the Antares' skin. Because of the impact and it was caught off guard, it flew and hit a few trees before stopping and standing and rushing back because it was angry for the hit it took.
Since the three of them are now all angry. Bell and Mino rushed and attacked the angry Antares, Mino first blocked its attack but this time it has much more force, meanwhile, Bell was again, going to punch the Antares in the same spot by using energy attacks that doesn't need to consume energy much.
And another punch has landed, the Antares was really angry, however, it was still weak. Same goes for Bell's Legendary Super Saiyan Transformation, as he was still using the weak version since it has more control and its power-up capabilities was good enough.
Then, the Antares flew again and crashed against the trees breaking them showing more light, making Mino rush in first and attacked with a devastating blow that did make a small earthquake, but only those have strong senses can feel the earth shake, however, none of the monsters were keen enough to feel it.
Now, back to the fight. After Mino smashed its head clean with a follow up Blast Punch of Bell.
"Get out of there!" Bell ordered Mino while charging his Blast Punch while he was training to lengthen his transformation.
Mino move and get out of the range as he saw in Bell's eyes that it will be messy. As soon Bell's fist hit the Antares' body, a big explosion happened, but not really big, it was just... It caused an earthquake and it was more stronger than Mino's strong downward bash.
After the explosion, the Antares' body can be seen now as a magic crystal, it was big enough that it was a size of Mino's fist.
Bell looked up to see what time is it, and forgot that he can't tell time using the sun, but the sky was a little bit reddish, realising that it was already afternoon, in his estimation, it was at 4 PM.
Since it was already late, they are hungry because they both heard their tummies cry in hunger, and used almost all of their strength in fighting the Antares.
The next day, they have now found the way out, the real exit that made them jump in happines, but they didn't celebrate too early because they knew that it was just the beginning for Bell and making Mino restrain himself from helping him except emergencies.
Standing in front of snowy plains with blizzards raging on, they can see a huge tree standing beyond the Glacier Path, which was very cold since its temperature was 10°C. Though there are no monsters, it is still hard to go through the Glacier Path without stopping as it was only a plains that has raging ice storm that made it cold. Nowhere to stop nor you are able to rest, that's why both of them slept before getting out, the cold was reaching the inside of the Dark Forest and Bell make monsters that came from the forest don't go out and go in both the maze and the icy plains.
They are now starting to walk, sure it is hard to walk through snow since the gravity was now 5 time stronger. However, Bell only floated acting like he was lightweight in front of Mino for easy travel.
After going through the Glacier Path, they are now standing in front of a giant mystical tree that gives bell some kind of, healing around it and has warm weather that he likes so much.
They eat heavy meal first before going through the Yggdrasil, they exercise for them to be able to not to get appendicitis, well except Mino, he's a monster.
Bell noticed that it WAS already sunset since the sun was now setting and slowly going down. So, they decided to sleep first.
The next day, they are now ready to go inside the Yggdrasil for Bell to strengthen himself, not just increasing his strength but also increasing all of his stats all at once.
Bell entered the the tree by going through the hole and when Bell was inside, he was shocked to see that it was, like a one sided glass. He tried to reach his hands and it go through the wall wich was actually just an illusion to prevent monsters finding out the exit.
A while ago he was on the outside, and now, he was inside the Yggdrasil, this dungeon full of risks.
