The Seven Deadly Child
Foundational
The wind howled in Theo's ears. He did not know how long he had been in the position of falling in the abyss, but had not yet crashed at the bottom.
"How deep!"
Theo muttered as he began to open his eyes to examine the surroundings, yet all he could see was complete darkness.
After a while still in a free-fall position. Theo began to feel something strange, for some reason he felt the attraction of gravity getting heavier, his body getting heavier. The deeper he fell, the more bizarre the gravitational pull felt, as if sucking on him violently.
Even before he fell to the bottom of the abyss, he could feel his bones starting to squeak. His gaze of gravity that grew stronger as if a giant hand was squeezing his body, Theo felt almost the same sensation as when Raging Ape started squeezing it.
Under the growing pressure of the gravitational pull, Theo was unable to move his body at all.
'Damn, am I so weak, even I will die in a fallen position before touching the bottom of the abyss. What kind of weak body is this?' muttered Theo cursed the condition of his body.
Amidst Theo's self-cursing thoughts, he could suddenly hear a groan from just below him.
Theo soon realized that the moaning sound was coming from Raging Ape that had indeed fallen right below him.
"Hahahhahaha busuukkk!!!, you are still alive it turns out." Shouted Theo loudly.
Somehow Theo felt happy to hear the moans of Raging Ape. He felt like he had found a comrade amid this terrifying total silence and darkness.
"Festrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!"
As if to answer Theo's cry, Raging Ape shouted wildly. Yet unlike Theo's shout which showed excitement, Raging Ape's shout was a shout of anger.
"Hahahhahhahha.."
Theo laughed even louder at the wild scream. He felt very satisfied, feeling victorious against the demon-like Raging Ape.
But after that, Theo began to be able to feel the gusts of wind flow underneath. Sometimes it's right next to him. He now realized Raging Ape was swinging his hand wildly, trying to grab Theo with his hand inside the total darkness of the depths of the gorge.
This made Theo yabg's body initially fall straight, continuing to sway following the wind flow of Raging Ape's hand movements.
Raging Ape's cry also continued to echo. But the longer it sounds a little distant. With its massive body, and with the increasingly violent pull of gravity, Raging Ape's body fell faster down the cliff. Creating a distance that begins to move away with Theo's position.
But in the final seconds before he started to move away from Theo's position, Raging Ape who was still swinging his hands wildly and desperately. Hoping to grab Theo and squeeze him to death, he felt his fingertips touch Theo's body.
Feeling unable to reach Theo with his position further away, he swung the tips of his fingers that touched Theo's body hard. Throwing Theo hard.
Theo who got the blow immediately felt his body stiffen. He felt extreme pain, as the position of Raging Ape's fingertips threw him right at his broken arm.
The strike immediately threw Theo aside, out of the path of his fall at the beginning when he fell.
While screaming in pain Theo's body crashed to the side. Getting further away from his starting position he fell rapidly.
But when he got out of the early lane of the position he fell, an oddity occurred. Unlike the initial position of the fall of Theo, which has a very strong gravitational attraction, it gets firmer as it falls further into the abyss. The position he was thrown in had a lighter gravitational suction power.
He was still falling into the abyss, but strangely, the deeper he fell, the gravitational attraction instead of getting tighter, but it was getting lighter.
Until finally the deeper he fell into the abyss, the gravity became lighter and lighter, until finally gravity seemed to disappear instantly. Theo ended up in a strange odd position, he floated in the air.
"What's really going on??" Theo was confused not being able to understand the situation he was facing.
He could still feel the pressure from the gravitational pull in the initial position he had fallen before. Reflexively, in a position like a person swimming, he moved away from the initial position.
Shortly as he moved away, he could hear a very loud thud from a distance below the abyss, where his initial position had fallen.
He could immediately catch what was happening. Raging Ape had reached the bottom of the abyss. It falls very hard because of the intense gravitational attraction.
Theo immediately felt a chill on his back, as well as feeling a little lucky. Regardless of the peculiarity of the situation he was in, yet at least he could still survive for now.
"Hahaha you bastard, thank you! in your last moments with a desperate move to kill me, you ended up saving me" Theo murmured.
After looking around carefully, he could see the dots of light below him. He immediately went back into motion like a person swimming to dive deeper in the air.
Some time moving like a person diving in the water, Theo's swimming movement suddenly stopped. He could feel the gravitational current pressing down on him in the opposite direction, pushing him upwards. Can't keep diving down the cliff.
After stopping for a while, Theo decided to move sideways, not dive down. He moved further away from his initial position he fell.
Theo continued to move swimming in the air, away from the initial position he fell. The longer, the movement of swimming in the air was getting faster, his heart started pounding. Trapped in an empty, dark, and gravityless room this long time made him afraid.
After a long time, move quickly away. He suddenly felt like he was coming out of an invisible space. The pressure of the gravitational pull back he felt, his body began to fall down again.
Theo's heart immediately sank feeling the sudden change of situation.
"Damn it! what else now?" Theo.
He began to close his eyes, frightened as his body began to fall again. But a moment later, shortly after the position he fell again, he felt his body crashing to the ground.
It turned out that he had not fallen for too long since he had already reached the bottom of the abyss. The various strange and magical conditions that he coincidentally experienced turned out to end with him landing safely at the bottom of the abyss.
Theo then opened his eyes and tried to sit down. Instantly when he was in a sitting position, pain began to strike all over his body, especially in the area of his broken left arm.
He then fainted from the extreme pain.
**
Theo regained consciousness after a few hours had passed, first he opened his eyes, he still saw complete darkness. A moment later the pain invaded his body. When she felt like she was about to lose consciousness once more, she knew that if she lost consciousness again, her life might be threatened in this obscure place.
He then recalled something, he quickly picked up the remaining ice oak tree seeds that were inside his shirt. Immediately squeezing broke the seed right in front of his face, a stream where a dense cold ice immediately gushed out, Theo frantically sucked it out immediately.
After sucking the flow where the ice from the ice oak tree seeds. Theo immediately choked, coughed, then instantly a stream of adrenaline rushed to pump his blood. Making Theo open his eyes wide, the pain that he initially felt soon subsided little by little to the scale that he could bear, even though it still hurt.
"Hahhhhhh, hahhhh, hahhh" Theo immediately sat down with gasping breaths.
His breathing hunts, either because of the flow of adrenaline, or because of the tension of the continuous alternation of events he experienced, do not know which one.
After calming himself down for a while, he decided to stand up and start moving. Staying in this strange place for a long time is not a good thing, he thought. He had no idea what danger he might be in.
He stood up and looked ahead, he could feel that in front of him was an invisible space before. Even though he could not see it, he could still feel a different aura from where the one right in front of him stood.
Theo then decided to walk combing following the invisible space in front of him as a reference, but did not dare to enter into it. He just combed following the space.
Theo walked as his right arm clasped his broken left arm, trying to endure the pain.
He walked and continued to walk slowly, along the boundary line between invisible space and himself.
After a long walk in total darkness, with the pressure guidance from the invisible space beside him, Theo could finally see a speck of light in front of him.
Theo's steps get faster when he sees the point of light. The closer the points of light are the brighter they look. Theo finally reached a place at the end of the bottom of the abyss. This time he could see his surroundings clearly. The points of light turned out to come from a kind of vines that have fruits that continue to emit light.
The fruits were surrounded by a kind of large firefly-shaped spirit beast the size of an adult man's palm. The light from the fireflies makes the lighting in this area even better.
The firefly flew quietly around among the glowing fruits that were growing all around the walls of the gorge. They seemed to ignore Theo's presence, feeling not bothered at all.
With the lighting he got from the creatures, Theo took a close look at the environment around him.
He was finally able to clearly see the invisible room he had previously been following as a road guide. In front of him, there were two invisible spaces. Now the position is in the middle between the two invisible rooms. Inside the invisible space, he could see an amazing sight.
The invisible room is divided into two regions, one region filled with spirit beasts like lizards, snakes and others, strangely they fly around in circles even though they have no wings. While the other areas had no life at all and gave Theo whose position was a bit far from the room a strong pressure.
In one corner of the invisible room without life, Theo could see a giant yellow figure lying with large earth cracks under his body.
