Mindonics Entrapment

Chapter 46

Chapter 46

Jasmine used to be the solely one who had been to the cave before. In fact, she used to be the one who had told Gary about the cave in the first place. Ray nonetheless had his suspicions about Jasmine. How was she even capable to gain information about the cave?

The only purpose why Ray decided no longer to confront her about it was due to the fact he was once now too fascinated in the Divine Being. Especially after he had that 2d dream, he knew he needed to discover out what it was.

The team continued to march on via the mountain. Eventually the storm began to settle down a little as they received similarly up. It was a bizarre sight as it regarded like the total metropolis used to be affected by means of the storm but for some reason, the mountain had remained untouched.

The further up they went, the much less rain and wind there was. Eventually, they had reached the snowy region of the mountain. They had kept up a right pace. If a regular human being with no use of Ki was once to climb up these mountains, it would have taken them days to get up this far.

As they have been strolling up the mountain, they ought to see countless mounds of snow around them. It regarded as if the snow had protected quite a few large boulders. Kyle wasn't getting a true feeling when he looking at the mounds of snow. He felt like something was off.

Then all at once he felt like he noticed something.

"Hey did all and sundry see that?"

"See what?" Dan replied.

"That pile of snow. I could have sworn I noticed it pass just now."

"Can you now not be childish and play jokes on us like that?" Martha stated frowning, "You recognize it's rumoured this area has strong magical beasts."

Just as Martha had completed speaking, numerous mounds of snow round them commenced to move. Kyle gulped as he noticed the giant ice golem come out from underneath the snow. The golem had no head but a single eyepiece in the centre of its chest. It was often human-shaped aside from its square chest.

Ray had spotted these a whilst in the past of course but he had already faced this kind of magical beast before. The gadget no longer allowed him to acquire crystals nor to soak up its mana and ice attribute. It seemed like the gadget had put a limit on his mana steal and mana eater ability when it got here to magical beasts.

The group quickly whipped into action, whilst Ray did as little as possible. Ray thinking it was exceptional for the team to get stronger. He would not usually be there to defend them after all.

Slyvia took command, the use of every person competencies to their max. She even accounted for Kyle's new chain weapon and Jasmine being with us, giving them clear coaching on how and when to attack. The principal weakness of the ice golems used to be the reality that they were slow.

Slyvia, Martha and Dan were in cost of aggroing the creatures. They would assault the creatures and receives their attention, while Ray, Jasmine, Monk, Gary and Kyle would then stealthily take out the creatures from behind.

Everyone had grown a whole lot stronger and even even though they were intermediate beasts, they had been rapidly dealt with. After anybody had completed carving out the crystals, the group endured to go forward with Jasmine in front.

Again after the struggle with the ice golems, Ray only grew more suspicious. Although the team easily dealt with the ice golems, how used to be Jasmine in a position to come here on her own? Jasmine used to be genuinely hiding something.

As they walked in addition up, the crew encountered another crew of intermediate magical beasts. This time they were rabid bunnies. These creatures had the elements of rabbits but stood eight toes tall with the body of a grizzly bear. Before the others could even react, Ray had run out in front to take on as many as he could. He dealt with every beast with a single punch.

Ray had managed to defeat a total of 10 rabid bunnies while the rest of the crew had dealt with four. The team used to be no longer surprised at Ray's power after the tournament. The solely element that they had been surprised about used to be how shortly Ray seemed to be growing stronger.

After the fight with the rabid bunnies, Ray managed to fortuitously acquire 8 crystals thru the gadget and stored the other 2 in his endless void when the others weren't looking. Instead of preserving the eight crystals in Ray's machine though, this time he determined to absorb them all straight away as he walked at the again of the group.

After what had befell remaining time, Ray did not want to take any chances. If they met some other creature in these caves or these tunnels like the minotaur remaining time, then Ray needed to be as robust as possible.

After absorbing all of the eight crystals, Ray's points had reached a total of 79 His whole physique felt lighter and he felt re-energized. He used to be now only a few greater factors away from his next evolution.

"The cave, it's simply up ahead here," Jasmine said

The team had handed many caves on the way over but Jasmine continued taking walks upwards till finally, they had reached their destination.

"Is this simply a cave?" Monk asked searching at the entrance.

The cave partitions regarded unnatural and the entrance was better than all the ones they had passed. This one stood 10 meters tall and had smooth edges as if it had been carved into the facet of the mountain. It nearly seemed like a tunnel; the cave was once without a doubt man-made.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go," Gary stated as he took the lead.

The cave was dark and there was no light supply however this was expected. This time each of the crew had made positive they offered their very own light stone crystals and even more for back up simply in case.

The cave felt like it persevered on straight as a substitute than going down or up. After on foot for a few minutes, they had reached a round metal door that blanketed the whole 10-meter tall cave. There wasn't a single gap for all and sundry to squeeze through.

"This was once the door I was speaking about," Jasmine said.

"Well Ray, it appears like it's time for you to do your thing," Gary said.

If it wasn't for the reality that every member of the crew was carrying a mild crystal with them, they would not have been in a position to see a thing. They had long long past passed the entrance of the cave which used to be the solely source of mild from outdoor and ought to no longer inform how deep in the mountain they were.

The mild crystal shined brightly and each member was taking their time analyzing the steel door. Just like the red door, below it used to be composed of thick metal and had a circle style sample down the middle.

Dan was currently fiddling round with the door to see if there was any way he ought to open it.

"Seriously, so there clearly is no way to open the door aside from Ray?" Dan said as he pushed his hand on the door.

Monk and Gary had defined what had happened when they went down to the purple door before. They wanted to make positive that the rest of the group used to be prepared for anything, mainly after what had passed off closing time.

Dan then walked over to the facet of the cave wall where he may want to see the steel door sticking around it. He regarded at it for a moment before hitting it with his spear.

"What are you doing that for?" Martha asked.

"Well, possibly we can dig round it."

Dan endured to hit the cave wall by means of the side until a chunk of the wall came off. Underneath the chunk though was just more of the steel wall.

"It's high-quality if you stop doing that." Slyvia said, "We don't recognize how a long way in this wall goes and I would hate for the cave to give way on us."

"Fine, I'll just leave it to Ray then."

Ray then stepped ahead and positioned his hand on the door and simply like last time a notification screen appeared.

As soon as Ray selected yes, the circular lock down the centre of the door, commenced to move. And all of sudden the two steel doors moved apart into the facet of the cave.

"What astounding machinery," Slyvia said.

"How come it worked when Ray touched the door?" Dan requested as he looked in the direction of Gary and Monk.

Both of them truely shrugged their shoulders. Ray wasn't prepared to inform the others who he definitely was but or that he had this different system.

"Is it due to the fact he is the chosen one?" Kyle said as he idea again to their dragon knight assembly they'd had a whilst back.

"Oh are you speakme about the prophecy? So possibly the divine being certainly is down here." Dan stated excitedly.

"Come on let's go," Ray stated in order to cease the others from talking.

Ray didn't like the reality that they had been speakme about him. Ray himself did not have any clue why the whole lot was once going on and he dam properly did not prefer to be phase of some so-called prophecy.

As the group walked in the direction of the metal door, they could see a massive spiral staircase leading downward. Their mild crystals only allowed them to see so far and there was no way for them to tell how deep it was.

Jasmine and Monk began to shiver.

"This is just like remaining time," Monk said.

Gary overlooked the two of them and started out to walk in advance of everybody else. Gary felt like he used to be close to discovering something big and he wasn't going to let some thing get in the way of that.

The spiral staircase was long. After taking walks downward for half an hour, there used to be nevertheless no stop to the staircase insight.

"Are we definitely going all the way down beneath the academy?" Monk asked.

"It appears like it," Jasmine replied.

The group persevered to stroll down the stairs while making small discuss with each other.

"What are you going to say when we meet the Divine Being?" Kyle asked.

"I do not know but I hope she's gorgeous," Martha replied.

"She…what makes you assume the Divine Being's a girl?" Dan said.

"What makes you think it is a boy?"

"Well you know, it is all powerful and stuff, so it has to be a guy."

"You recognize Dan, did you ever even beat Slyvia as soon as in a ranking match? I didn't think so."

Martha and Slyvia then appeared at each other. "Boys"

Finally, after any other half an hour of taking walks down, they had reached the stop of the staircase. The staircase had led them into a giant church-like room. There were wooden benches on either aspect all going through in one direction. All the benches were presently pointing at a single statue in the room.

The statue was of a lovely female who used to be wearing a hood that mages regularly wore. In her proper hand, the statue held a team of workers with an orb connected to the end and around the orb there have been two small wings.

The crew stared at the statue for a whilst before searching the room for any different entrances. Everyone had split up and long gone looking round the massive hall apart from Ray. Ray used to be stood nevertheless staring at the statue.

Slyvia seen the Ray used to be still staring at the statue.

"I be aware of she's lovely Ray however I have to remind you she's only a statue."

"Do you comprehend who she is?" Ray replied.

Slyvia regarded at the statue and the room they have been in for a whilst before giving an answer.

"If I would have to guess, this area seems like it used to be a temple or some type of location for worship. Nowadays it is taboo for anyone to have a drawing or strive to recreate an image of the Divine Being however in the past, it wasn't so much."

"Are you pronouncing this is the Divine Being?"

"I suppose it is a possibility."

Ray didn't say an awful lot else, but he had the strange feeling of familiarity when looking at the statue as if he had seen this character before. But for some reason, Ray just could not quite put his finger on it.

After looking the room for half of an hour, no one was capable to discover some thing that resembled both an entrance or an exit, so they all gathered lower back at the statue. Ray was once currently nonetheless staring at the statue making an attempt to determine out why the man or woman regarded so familiar to him.

"Hey, do you suppose Ray is in love?" Dan whispered to Monk.

"He has been staring at that statue for an notably long time."

Martha then got here up from in the back of the two and knocked them on the head.

"knock it out you two."

Then they heard a shout from one of the corners of the room.

"Dam it, there has to be an entrance somewhere."

As the crew became to appear at who it was, it grew to become out the noise used to be coming from Gary. Gary seemed to be annoyed the most out of everyone.

"Well, we head back?" Slyvia asked the group.

Ray then pointed at the statue.

"Underneath the statue, there may be every other door."

"What seriously!" Gary said as he rushed over to the statue and right away began to push it.

"This element weighs a tone," Gary said, "Come on are you guys simply going to stare."

Dan and Monk then got here over and tried pushing the statue again however it didn't cross an inch simply like with the metal door.

Ray had genuinely noticed the door when he first entered the room, it wasn't like he did not desire to assist the others however he wanted to continue to be and stare at the statue for a while longer. He felt like the longer he looked at the statue the greater it reminded him of someone.

Ray then walked over to the statue and the others moved, he positioned his hand on the bottom phase of the statue and just like before the gadget reacted again.

"Would you like to enter?"

Ray selected yes without any hesitation; Ray felt like he used to be just about to discover some thing big. The statue started to go backwards and underneath it reviled some other staircase that led into darkness.

"Just how some distance down does this place go?" Dan asked.

Unlike the staircase earlier than it, this staircase did not spiral down and just lead the group straight down till they had sooner or later reached a entice door. Gary lifted up the lure door to expose a ladder. The sound of water walking ought to be heard from underneath.

"I'll go first then shall I," Gary stated as he slowly began to descend down the ladder. The ladder led to an even larger empty room which was once crammed with nothing but rocks. The room had 5 tunnels in whole but 4 of them had been sealed up with Iron doors, comparable to the first one at the entrance

"Ray, do you assume you can open those?" Gary asked.

Ray walked up to one of the iron doorways and may want to see these were barely different. These doors did no longer have a circular marking in the centre like the others. When he placed his hand on the door there was no reaction.

Ray shook his head.

"Well it looks like we have no choice," Garry said as he continued to walk thru the solely tunnel course that wasn't sealed up.

The group endured on foot down the direction and eventually, section of the cave wall commenced to turn into crystals. The crystals would provide off a brilliant blue mild illuminating the whole cavern.

"What are these?" Slyvia said as she stared at one of the crystals.

"Well if you do not recognize what they are none of us will," Gary replied.

Just as Gary said no one had a clue what they had been nor had they considered anything like it before. It did not seem like a beast crystal. As the crew persevered to walk down the cavern greater and greater crystals began to show up on the wall until eventually, the entire wall was once covered in the blue crystals.

They continued to stroll till finally, a massive single crystal stood floating in the air. The crystal was greater radiant than any of the other crystal they had considered in the cave. It was an unexpected sight for the crew but as quickly as they had laid their eyes on it, they knew what it was.

The Divine Being.

Immediately the total crew felt like they have been in the presence of something some distance extra powerful than them and they knelt down on their knees and placed their head on the ground. Ray could not recognize the reaction of the others around him.

"Ray can not you inform what this is, it's the Divine Being!" Slyvia shouted.

Suddenly, Ray felt some thing inside his physique jolt. It was as if something in his physique desired to escape from him and be part of the crystal. Ray tried his nice to combat however he should no longer. Its power was once a ways stronger than his.

The piece of his body he was once attempting to maintain onto all of sudden left him and entered the Crystal.

Images commenced to flash via Ray's thought of destruction, sadness death. Ray used to be being proven a world had been the shadow plague had received the combat in opposition to humanity, had been the shadow plague dominated over the whole land. Not solely had been the people long gone however each and every single residing beast with it.

Finally, the photographs stopped and the phase of Ray that had entered the crystal had been lower back to him.

"What was that?"

Then suddenly, Ray remembered one of the pix he had been shown. It was an photograph of him in this very cave. It showed him how one of the humans with him had been being controlled by using a dark evil force.

In his thought he saw a sharp poisoned blade slice his back, Ray went to turn round however he used to be already too late.

The image had emerge as reality and he had already been stabbed. Ray may want to feel the sharp silver blade internal him. Ray's physique and legs began to experience numb as the poison began to take effect.

Ray then collapsed onto the flooring but was capable to lift his head earlier than he was once absolutely gone. He heard shouts and screams from the others, then he saw Gary soar over to his side towards Jasmine. Jasmine who bore a smile on her face whilst her hands had been protected in blood.

The final element Ray noticed was Gary swinging his sword at Jasmine's head before his eyes totally went black.

When Ray managed to open his eyes as soon as again, he was once met with a scene that was now too acquainted with him. The white ceiling and odor of chemical substances was a dead giveaway. He was once as soon as again mendacity in a hospital bed.

Only this time, alternatively than the nurses and medical practitioner who have been tending to him before, his eyes were met with an historical man who stood via his side. The historic man used to be recognized as Humfree White. His essential points where his white hair and long white beard that ideal his title well.

Humfree was once in charge of everything that went on in the health facility and now not solely that, he was once the solely authentic mage that was once a section of Avrion. For Humfree specialised in recuperation magic.

"Looks like your subsequently awake," Humfree said with a huge grin on his face.

Ray tried to talk to the old man however his body still felt barely numb and his throat used to be tremendously dry. Humfree then signalled for one of the nurses to deliver Ray a glass of water to clear his throat.

"What occurred to everyone?" Ray managed to croak out.
