Chương 90: Magic and Symbiote (#3) [Slightly Edited]
"Fuck." Derek dodged another one of them little black things- A coal-like little humanoid, red glowing eyes, and sharp claws and fangs, and they were fast little buggers! His fists colided with another one of them and it glowed blue, after all, he had the rune [Arrow Punch] written on his hands! He learned he could also fuse sybols when written on surfaces, so he did that to his own skin, making so they would be only temporary, but not one use only, since he wrote it with his blood on his knuckles so whenever he punched something he would activate the rune and the punch would be stronger, as well as having a literal magical bullet. He could also send these blue, fast fist-like projectlies at his targets, which gave him a ranged attack that definetly helped when small versions of these things with wings that threw up liquid fire appeared.
He was now on a dark cave, Venom and Eddie were nowhere in sight- They were walking to his dojo when suddenly everything went dark and he found himself here on this place, he remembers the system warning him something like:
[Warning: You are being pulled into another dimension against your will]
[New Emergency Quest: Survive.
Objectives:
Main Objective: Survive this ordeal.
Bonus Objective: Find Eddie and Venom and get them out of this dimension as well.
Rewards:
Main Objective: [Utility Symbols (4x)]
Bonues Objective: [+1000 MP]
Good luck.]
So that's what he is doing now, killing these little things and grinding. How? Simple!
[You killed a Lesser Corrupted Soul: +5 to your MP]
Each one of these little buggers gave him 5 points on his [MP] every time he killed one of them, so he was grinding a little bit of these things, he was getting free [MP] out of this, he would be an ididot not to take advantage of this to get stronger! Even though he knew only four types of spells for now... Sadly he couldn't use a wide Area of Effect spell to wipe them all out! "Fuck!" He cursed out loud when he felt a stinging pain on his leg, he looked down to see another one of those little things, this place was full of them! It's irritating because they do close to no damage to him, only annoy him a lot with their irritating needle-like teeth. The flying ones are a bit of a problem, but none of them even got close to him, so he could just use his [Arrow] rune on them and kill them easily.
"Fuck you bitch." Derek punched the air, sending a bolt-like projectile in the shape ofa fist towards the creature bititing his leg, killing it instantly:
[You killed a a Lesser Corrupted Soul: +5 to your MP]
He opened his magic system, looking at his [Status]:

Utility Magic: [String]
He thankfully had the [Shield] symbol to protect himself whenever he was attacked by a stronger opponent, because it happened only once- an adult version of these little buggers that threw a rock at him, so he used [Shield] and it shattered when the rock impacted against it. That was scary, but that thing was just as stupid as these little things! "Eddie?" Derek turned to look at the huge black humanoid with white eyes being completely surrounded by those little buggers, swarmed by them, his huge arms were slamming against them all, but they weren't dying at all! They just got up faster and clawed against Venom, who screamed in pain as he angrily attacked everything.
Derek thought about a solution to this problem and quickly knew what to do: He drew the [Arrow] symbol and a lot of his magic into it- normally a sinlge arrow would cost him 10 [MP], but he used [1000] for this one! It created a large blue arrow, that Derek could control with his thoughts! He sent the arrow flying towards where a lot of those little buggers were, he could only send the arrow in one direction only, so the arrow flew faster than a bullet and hit the ground beside Venom- exploding in a blue energy that destroyed a large part of the swarm, giving Venoma chance to escape!
[You killed {50} Lesser Corrupted Souls, you received (250) Mp!]
He had to kill 200 of tehse things to even get 1000 points on his [MP] extra, now he got another 250 points, and that does bring a smile to his face. "Here, Eddie!" He shouted, already creating a [String] symbol and using it to created 10 strings, using the last 1000 points he had to created ten threads and tie them all against themselves, making a blue thick rope that shot forth and caught Venom, pulling the black symbiote towards him- The rope was surprisingly strong, it easily brought Venom to him! He looked at the little buggers down on the lower floor (Because he was above them, since this place looked like a giant cavern with several tunnels and levels) and used the giant makeshift whip he had and began slamming the blue rope he had on them! The 50 feet of rope was surprisingly easy to use, and slamming it against those buggers felt great because they were dying easily.
And they weren't coming back from the dead.
He turned to look at Eddie, who was panting on the ground, crouched. "What are those things...?" He whispered, a little winded and out of breath, he has been fighting those things for hours now! And they kept coming back, but now looking at them ying so easily to Derek he felt slightly useless. Venom, however, was having a wet dream! Such power, easily killing opponents that they couldn't even damage makes him so sexy on his eyes that if Venom had a dick, he would be so hard right now...
[You killed {550} Lesser Corrupted Souls, you received (2750) Mp!]
[You received the title: [Lesser Demon Hunter]
He decided to take a quick look at his status once again:

He had now [5000] of [MP], and that was good, he could farm so many points here, but what interested him the title he got:
[Lesser Demon hunter: Increases Damage done to Demonic Entities by 10% and gives Lesser Knowlege of Demons]
This thing could be useful on the future, if he finds himself in another dimension full of demons perhaps? Yeah, that would definetly happen on the future, his luck so that's good. "Eddie, let's go, we need to hide and you need to rest... And to asnwer your question, those things were Lesser Corrupted Souls, souls that have been corrupted by Malevolent energy, making them transform into these ugly things... They are everywhere in some dimensions, and by the looks of it, we're in one of them." The knowledge he got from the title was enough for him to deduce where exaclty they were, and also know the fact tga only magic can kill Demons while they are in their home dimension, because they'll simply reappear after they are killed.
"I'm sorry you had to go trhough this..." Derek smiled at Eddie, making sure to apologize even though he was not sure if this was his fault, because he felt slightly guilty about this all. "It's fine... I went through worse, i guess." Eddie awkwardly said, only pause when they heard screams of agony coming from behind them- "Come." Eddie was dragged by Derek, but then he followed him, Derek never let go of his hand and he was... Embarassed to say it made him comfortable in tihs scary place
.
"Where are we?" Eddie asked Derek after they entered a hole on the cavern wall, ready to hide themselves inside it, they were safe for now. "We're in a very bad, bad place... We're in a Hell. One of them that is..." Eddie stopped, his eyes widened as he looked around in panick: "What?" he whispered, he has been told a lot about Hell, even more so by his father, who made sure to let him know where he would go to when he dies... The man was an abusive asshole, one of the many assholes Eddie met on his life. "Yeah, we're on Pandemonium, a Hell Dimension, full of demons and whatnots." Derek turned to look at Eddie, who was slowly building up to a panick attack- "Hey, Eddie? Look at me." Eddie's eyes were unfocused as he looked at Derek, who held his head, hands on his cheeks, as he hummed the tune of a lullaby that he couldn't get out of his head and slowly offered him a hug, whispering: "It's okay, everything's okay, eveyrhing's gonna be okay, i'll take us out of here somehow." Eddie huged him- It was a warm hug, making Venom feel said warmth inside him as well.
With the knowledge he had, he knew that Demons sometimes used holes thorugh dimensions to enter and leave their Hell dimension, he knew the appearence of those holes and knew how to find them, but he knew that only demons could use them properly- He would need to capture a demon to open the hole and let them out, which was no guarantee that it would be their home dimension- Maybe it would be another universe or another hell, but he needs to try, so at least he can take them back to earth!
"[He's tired.]" Venom's head appeared from behind Eddie's hoodie, even Venom was looking a little grey rather than fully the vantablack that he normally is. "[I am tired... We've been fighting for hours before you found us there.]" Derek nodded and sighed, his hands moving as he focused the little magic he had to write the [Shield] symbol on the entrance of the hole to block it, to give at least a little bit of protection to them. He should try to create another symbol, something he could understand very well and could use a symbol to represent the action... Something simple, and yet, powerful.
[Power] it was.
[Power] was a simple [Support/Utility] symbol that made other symbols stronger, adding more power to them, like, it could make a simple [Shield] symbol stronger, thicker, more durable, etc! He decided to make this symbol because it could help him more than some other ideas he had and making all his already existing symbols powerful is a great idea. To make the symbol, he had to focus and imagine what he wanted, his mind needed to have a clear image of what he wanted and he needed to understand what he wanted, so a symbol would appear on his mind's eye and he would then need to write that symbol- After he successfully drew the symbol, he needed to draw it more times so the system could register it as a new symbol!
This symbol waws interesting since it could also make his body physically stronger than it already was, about 50% stronger as well, he was above peak human physique with said rune!
"You can go to sleep Venom, i'll keep watch." Eddie had told him the name of the symbiote in their conversation after he revealed itself, which was good now that he didn't need to call him thingy or cutie anymore. Even though Venom liked the last one... He decided to call him Chocolate on his mind, since he was somewhat sweet, and murderous as well! "[Okay... Keep my Eddie safe]" The symbiote returned to his host, who was sleeping, and began to sleep as well, they fought a lot of those creatures together, and they were exhausted. 'I need to find a way to go back quickly...' He didn't know how the time dilatation of Pandemonium worked! They could be fighting for hours here, but only seconds passed on Earth, or the complete hoposite! They could be fighting for minutes in here, and hours passed there.
He needs to find a hole in this place... He'll need Eddie's and Venom's help to do so.
