The Man-Eating Bag simply couldn’t withstand that terrifying force and shattered on the spot.
Then, countless amounts of acid, blood, and various other things spewed forth, creating a mess that filled the entire cave.
The corrosiveness of the acid that sprayed out was extremely terrifying, even the ground fizzed and smoked as it corroded, forming pits of various depths in no time.
This eruption lasted for a full three minutes until a piece of torn flesh was ejected, signaling the end of the event.
At least for Gaven, it marked the end.
The piece of flesh was not small; piled up, it was larger than three bulls, covered with shriveled folds of skin and emitting a horrific smell that could make one vomit their guts out.
Without asking, it was clear that the owner of the Man-Eating Bag, in an act of desperation, had discarded its own stomach.
But for a being of that caliber, not to mention discarding a stomach, even losing a head wouldn’t necessarily be fatal.
Lord Virginia, who had been observing from the side, gave Gaven a thumbs up and said, "In terms of cunning, no one beats you; you even made the Nightmare Serpent vomit out its stomach."
"Just teaching it a lesson. Eating recklessly can easily upset one’s stomach," Gaven chuckled, "The stomach came up alright, but whether it’s usable is another matter, considering its biological nature."
"Chances are, since it could use its own stomach to create Man-Eating Bags, it signifies a unique ability to connect with other dimensions. It surely possesses strong dimensional attributes. Your ’Destroy Evil’ ability lacks the power of creation but has a strong capacity for extracting magical attributes. As long as you extract the essence of the dimension’s power from it, you could craft a real Dimensional Bag," Lord Virginia handed a thin rope to Gaven, "This is woven from the silk of Phase Spiders, with the heavens as its thread and starlight as its filament, cast between two realms, making it the ideal choice for the cord of a Dimensional Cave."
Clearly, she had made ample preparations for this.
"Thanks," Gaven certainly realized the rarity of such a specially crafted item. To say nothing of the might of the Phase Spider itself, one had first to locate it and collect its web—spinning it into thread was a secondary concern.
"Phase Spiders prefer to feed on the Fae Race, especially in the area where the Material Plane, Fairy Wilderness, and Ether Plane intersect, setting up their hunting traps. With a little care, finding them isn’t hard," Lord Virginia said nonchalantly, "Go ahead and give it a try. This unusually crafted Portable Dimensional Bag might have capabilities surpassing that of a normal Portable Dimension Bag."
"Just wondering if this biological material falls under the category of evil," Gaven said as he moved towards the monstrous stomach, finishing up his combat gear and acting indifferent to the disgusting scene on the ground.
The sight before him was trivial compared to the God of Corruption and Degeneration.
Circumventing the enormous lump of flesh cautiously several times, Gaven pulled out a backup weapon and poked it back and forth a few times.
It was quickly confirmed that the object was indeed nothing more than an abandoned stomach organ, with no surprise counterattacks in store.
Gaven soon found the Man-Eating Bags that looked like small pouches dangling on the exterior of the stomach organ—not just one, but about a dozen.
It seemed the Nightmare Serpent was quite greedy, crafting over a dozen Man-Eating Bag traps to aid in its hunting.
Now that all of them had been blown over here by Gaven, it inadvertently helped many others by sparing them from the menace of the Man-Eating Bags.
Without hesitation, Gaven activated Destroy Evil and enveloped the Nightmare Serpent’s stomach.
The Nightmare Serpent’s great stomach immediately burst into flames, sending out a rich barbecue smell mixed with the stench of stomach acid, making the odor even more unpleasant. Even Gaven, unable to bear it, showed signs of retching. Urgently, he initiated Bionic Art to bolster his Constitution over twenty points, activated the Spirit Flesh Integration skill, and with his strong Will, toughed it out.
Fortunately, this kind of burning was not the conventional type that required a long wait. This level of power injury was more convenient, also indicating that the Nightmare Serpent’s stomach was not just evil, but extremely so. It appeared the Nightmare Serpent was no benevolent creature.
Of course, a creature of good nature couldn’t come up with such a malicious trap like the Man-Eating Bags.
Ten minutes later, a dazzling orb emerged in Gaven’s hands, about the size of a full-term baby. He had purified quite a few items in his time, but even when a Demigod’s palm melted, the energy orb created was not as large as this.
It seemed this time, Gaven was about to craft something extraordinary.
Without any delay, Gaven pressed the orb into the rope in his hand, and a bag began to grow at a visible rate as the orb was pressed in.
However, from the other side of the coil, it still looked empty.
Because this bag was not in the Material Plane, but rather a dimensional pocket.
With each cubic meter increase in size of the dimensional pocket, Gaven’s heart skipped a beat.
Even Dimensional Bags have a maximum capacity.
And they vary in quality, with different capacities commanding different prices.
The lowest grade is the Howard Convenient Bag that Gaven initially acquired, which had both a volume limit and a maximum weight.
