Supremacy Games

It seemed like Ionians' Lord Inozuma didn't seem too afraid of the chasm's master as he kept hunting deeper and deeper into the worms' nest.

Slice! Slice!...

Each time he met a Whistling Worm, he made sure to slice its neck before turning it into a paste...The deeper he had gotten, the more worms jumped him. But, he was glad about this as they were nothing but free points in his eyes.

Whoosh!!

'Hmm? What's with this sudden shift of the wind flow?'

Ionians' Lord Inozuma narrowed his eyes in focus at the depth of the tunnel, where the wind seemed to have changed trajectory.

'Is it the Chasm's master? Am I getting close?' Ionians' Lord Inozuma knew that most of the worms would be near the chasm's master since she was their mother.

'I would get two hundred points if I slayed it, should I give it a go?' Ionians' Lord Inozuma pondered on this crazy thought.

He knew that if he killed the chasm's master, he would obtain a great number of empyrean points, but most importantly, he would have free access to mining perfect minerals!

If he pulled it off, winning this game would actually be a viable option!

'I am already here, might as well give it a try.'

Ionians' Lord Inozuma continued on his path without a hint of fear in his eyes...He was wary, but not afraid.

He had full trust in his capabilities to either kill the chasm's master or at least escape when sh*t hit the fan!

...

After a few minutes, Ionians' Lord Inozuma reached the end of the tunnel, leaving behind him tens of mashed-up worm corpses.

The tunnel's end wasn't a wall or a path leading to other tunnels. It was just a giant gaping hole that was peeking into utter darkness.

Ionians' Lord Inozuma walked to the edge with a focused expression as the irregular wind behind the tunnel's mouth made him realize that there was a gigantic open space there.

He used an intense flashlight of his AP bracelet that was capable of illuminating more than hundreds of meters radius without a problem.

When he reached the edge, his assumption was proven right as the light expanded to illuminate a vast spherical space that made the tunnels resemble tiny holes.

'So, this is the nest.' Ionians' Lord Inozuma knitted his eyebrows deeply at the sight of thousands of giant white eggs attached to the walls.

There was some sort of red sticky wet mucus linking those eggs together with the walls, making the entire space resemble an insect breeding ground.
