God of Rocking

God of Rocking Part 3

It's been around 30 minutes since I started dodging to save my fucking life. Whenever an attack is launched at me, a ripple in that Aethyr or whatever you call it appears and I just move out of the way. I'm a rock, so I can't jump away from the enemy, and I don't know where the fuck I am so I can't escape either. I can only runaway from.. whatever the fuck is attacking me. From what I heard, it's probably some sort of snake monster, and how I could hear the damn thing being a rock and all was beyond my comprehension at the moment..

[Answer: The ripples in the Aethyr are being translated into signals due to the unlocking of the skill 'Aethyr Perception.'] 

What? I didn't see that in the skill tree.. You know what, I might as well just accept this shit and check it out later after I beat whatever is chasing after me! Let's access the situation, there's a snake attacking me.. Maybe it saw a rock moving around and got alarmed? Yeah, anyone seeing a supposedly inorganic and inanimate object moving around like it was dancing from joy would be uh.. alarming, most likely. I had 0 offensive capabilities at the moment, and how the hell would a rock fight anyway? I guess I could just.. ram myself into it? God, that sounded so fucking weird. At least nobody can actually hear it since I can't actually talk and this is all just in my head. Well might as well try it if I got nothing to lose..! 

Problem was, how in the hell was this stupid rock body supposed to gain enough speed to do any damage to whatever the hell was attacking me? I could only move about a dozen inches in like 3 minutes so gaining enough speed to do something like that on my own is pretty much impossible. On my own.. That's it! Let's use, [Conscious Split!]  I split my consciousness among however many rocks I could, if this was a cave there were bound to be dozens or maybe even hundreds of rocks and pebbles. It seemed I could only split my mind among around 24 pebbles and small rocks in total.. That was enough though. I took 12 of my rocky minions, and used them to distract the enemy by making them move around in random directions. The ripples in the Aethyr I could see increased dramatically probably meaning that the snake was losing it's shit from my distraction. 

This was gonna be hard, I don't even know if I have enough smooth ground for this plan.. Whatever, fuck it. I lined up whatever rocks and pebbles I had in reserve behind me, the original rock body. I separated the rocks as far as they could separate so I could build up enough speed as possible, and the amount of space between each rock was around 12-20 inches assuming my estimate was correct which I'm going to assume is correct.  The first rock, I focused on it as hard as I could and rammed it into the second rock as hard as I possibly could with my limited control of my separate rocky bodies. 

The second rock absorbed that kinetic energy, and was sent flying into the next rock, which then got sent flying into the next, and the next.. It was a train of force that would carry onto the next, carrying stronger force and speed with each rock ramming into the next. After a few seconds the final rock rammed into the main stone body, my mind returning to the main body as I was sent flying forward at the speed of a bullet from a pistol. The Aethyr around me was really losing it's shit now as it just looked like I was on acid at this point..

[Manifold is now analyzing you're actions.. Skill: Stone Dash has been acquired.] 

Huh..?  Stone dash..? I guess it's some sort of dashing skill to ram myself into things. Oh- wait, I can't move. I probably got lodged in a wall or something. The Aethyr is really bugging out, the ripples are getting closer..! Oh. I got swallowed. Well, I assume I did, cause now the Aethyr has a stomach acid green color mixed into it. I can't actually feel the inside of the snake but I still somehow feel uncomfortable, but of course anyone would be uncomfortable inside the stomach of a fucking snake.
