Creation System: Reborn As A Fantasy Worldsmith

Chapter 273 Utter Humiliation; Creature Of The Pond

It was clear to see that Roswil was petrified to see his long black hair neatly tied in a bun to be shaven off. A double petrification had occurred that day.

Lyrian... loved his pendant. After a few minutes of playing around, Roswil found himself almost completely naked with his eyebrows shaved off.

After this, Lyrian made Roswil punch himself multiple times until his head, too, turned into the shape of a bruised avocado. Red and purple.

Finally, a loud crunch of his nose marked the end of his suffering. Allowing the bozo to hide his private parts with a piece of cloth, Lyrian undid the spell.

The boy fell to the ground after being released, before suddenly standing up, his hand still keeping the cloth around his crotch steady.

With enraged and teary eyes, he stared at Lyrian and exclaimed, "I swear on my life that I will kill you! You will never forget the day you did this to me!"

Lyrian smirked, "You want me to do it again?" As soon as he said this, a chill ran up Roswil's spine.

He jerked up, turning around before running into the forest butt-naked.

"Risha!" He screamed, as his parrot quickly flew to his shoulder.

"Keaaw! Lord! You are... pathetic..."

"Shut up, bird, you want to die as well!"

They argued with each other as their voices slowly faded.

Lyrian looked up, "Hmm," As Nova flew to him.

"You didn't do much. I expected you to destroy that bird way quicker." Instead, Lyrian noticed some injuries on Nova.

After a sigh, Lyrian took out a smaller potion of healing and fed it to the bird.

"I don't know if that was the correct call... to just let him go like that. I will probably come and bite me in the ass later. Speaking of which... that will most likely be his fate as well." He smiled at his own joke, turning back around.

He faced the drop-off... and leaped right off...

'I was planning to go down this way anyways...' He mused, his eyes closed as he fell to the ground.

As he came about 20 feet away, he summoned Garmr underneath him, landing with Garmr's feet instead of his own. Since Garmr only fell 20 feet in reality, the impact was minor.

"Shadow," Lyrian said, as Garmr returned to his shadow. "Now... time to get to that pond."

He arrived at an opening of trees shortly after, where there was about 50 feet of grass all around the pond in front of him, and nothing else.

Before he went out into the open, however, Lyrian surveyed the area. There were footprints almost everywhere, so this place seemed to be popular.

He also noticed a pair of large deer on the other side of the pond taking a drink.

His eyes scanned them for a while longer, as he noticed that their horns looked to reflect a golden hue. 'Gold...' He said, having his presence completely masked.

Just then, a bird jumped off of the tree and into the air. It looked to startle the deers. They jerked back from the water, stopping to drink for a few moments.

'That's odd... the sound came from the bird, but they were scared of the water. That means... there is something powerful in the water, considering their OPs.'

He had scanned them the moment he saw them.

'They're strong... I wonder how strong the thing they are so scared of is.' He saw that they had yet to return to the pond to drink water.

If they were that hesitant, it was only natural to wonder what made them hesitate so much.

'It can't be a King Crocodile, since that usually doesn't touch the 70s in stats.'

At that moment, he walked out into the open land. The deers noticed him but didn't move, simply tracking his every step.

Lyrian felt as though several eyes tracked him at that moment like the entire jungle was watching him. It was an eerie, threatening feeling.

He continued to move forward, stopping at the water's edge before looking at the surface.

There was nothing at first, just some still water with small ripples flowing through it. Suddenly, Lyrian saw a light circular shadow beginning to appear.

It became bigger, and as it became bigger, it became darker as well. Before, finally, it broke through the water's surface.

Lyrian jumped back, as a giant serpent chomped its saw where his body was just a second before.

The body of the serpent was extremely fluorescent, with beautiful scales reflecting almost every color you could imagine. It looked majestic, yet more fierce than any creature he had seen that day.

"That!" He exclaimed, seeing the beast now out of the water. "That's a Hydro Serpent!"

"You're even stronger than the entrance exam one. An elder, huh? My second one to date." Lyrian began to grow excited.

At that moment, the beast frilled the fins behind its head, flaring them up uncontrollably with aggression. Its eyes were threatening, piercing toward Lyrian.

By this time the Gold Horn Deers had already escaped into the forest. Now, it seemed not even a bird was present to take part in this show.

No one wanted a piece of this beast.

"Perfect... come out, everyone!"

Lyrian shouted, as three shadowy figures appeared behind him. Finally, they materialized into three beings; Garmr, the giant Direwolf, Zuuc, the powerful Hobgoblin, and Tao, the incredibly fast Duskwing Pheon.

"Attack it... the first one to kill it gets to officially claim the title of the strongest, and becomes 'General'."
