Novel Bin Chapter 12 - Realization
" HMPH! ....."
A soundless snort, was heard expressing someone\'s displeasure…
He didn\'t know where the snort came from and it was not heard through his ears like sound, but was directly heard in his mind, It liberated him from the state of fear and paralysis.
At the same time his brain started working faster and faster it was another epiphany, he was in the same super brain state similar to when he was in the cave.
It only lasted for two seconds like the blink of an eye... But within these two seconds he was able to remember everything that has happened in these few days, including every minute detail that was detected by all his six senses during this time.
It was like he had an Eidetic memory and he has already combined all this knowledge to come to a conclusion…
At the same time as the soundless snort was heard, as if responding to the snort the pupils of the humongous snake widened.
It became more alert, like a natural response to danger.
All of a sudden Sam stood up, formed a spear from the earth and threw it with all his might aiming for the eye of the snake.
The snake was already on alert so it closed its eyes immediately, the spear struck on the closed eye.
The spear was like an egg that struck on an iron wall, it broke into pieces producing a loud sound.
When the snake opened its eyes again, it\'s pupils changed entirely.
Now its pupils have contracted to beady eyes, showing immense anger and killing intent.
This was not because the man in front of it had attacked all of sudden, but because it had felt fear.
Even if it was for one second, to feel fear from an ant which it could have crushed anytime it wanted.
The snake extended its head upward as if standing up fully, its head disappeared completely into the smoke.
The next second an earth shaking sound was heard.
Boom..
As Sam looked towards the sky, with buzzing ears.
He saw an area directly above his head had been bitten by the snake with full force, but some unknown symbols blue in color had appeared in the air and completely blocked the bite.
Not only that, an immense amount of lightning has come out of the symbol and struck the snake\'s head.
But unlike the small snake, the big snake\'s head was completely blown into smithereens and an enormous thud was heard like the fall of a big tree.
Some more sounds and tremor could be felt, but Sam had already turned away and was walking back towards the earth mountain.
" It\'s much more dangerous than my conjectures..…"
He was not referring to the snake, but towards the place that he was currently residing in.
His steps became more calm and steady.
" Confucius once said " He who flatters a man is his enemy. He who tells him of his faults is his maker. " ..... "
" I have been my own worst enemy and destroyer all along... I flattered myself about my newly gained powers and good luck.
But completely disregarded my carefree and lazy nature, as if everything was under control...
I knew my siblings would take care of my parents.
They may be sad, but they will recover with time and I would be able to get back to them sooner or later.... I have been trivializing the dangers all along and treating this place as an adventure land.... "
It was that two seconds that changed him entirely.
When he was completely paralyzed by fear and his brain went into an epiphany, a super brain mode...
In those two seconds he had completely formed a 3 dimensional model of the entire surroundings. He calculated the distance between each mountain, and that towards the border.
The 4 smaller mountains were identical, both in shape and size.
Even though they were on four sides of the black mountain, they were not at the same distance from the black mountain.
The earth mountain was about 11km from the black mountain, the fire mountain 17km, the tornado mountain 13km and the frozen mountain 19km from center.
Then there were four large boulders which he had not given any interest to, these boulders were placed in a direction in between two small mountains.
They were at a distance of 16 , 12 , 14 and 18 km from the center.
At first it seemed to be naturally formed and randomly placed.
But in the super brain state he calculated and compared these distances.
He found that these distances along with the radius of the black mountain and its periphery, which was about 15 km.
Formed a magic square matrix and the boundary itself was about 45 km from the central mountain.
Even though nature had its own perfection, this seemed a little too perfect, the straw that really broke the camel\'s back was.
The attack of the small snake and the appearance of the small lightning out of nowhere.
When he was in a super brain mode, he scrutinized that point and realized that there was an appearance of a light blue color in the air above the snake before the lightning struck.
In order to conclude his thesis, he deliberately attacked the big snake and enraged it to attack him.
The result was as expected...
There really was some kind of restriction that was preventing the beasts and smoke from entering.
Not just entering, it also retaliated to any attack on it.
