The group with Mormo behind traveled inside the cave for the last hour, the cave was huge, ancient ruins and symbol appeared from time to time as they moved inside the cave.
For some unknown reason the dungeon was full of light while no sun or any other light source could be detected.
Mormo didn’t want to get detected by any other person, so he tried not to use his essence as much as possible, which prevented him from create a radar from his essence to understand his surroundings better.
As they entered deeper into the cave the feeling of rejection became stronger, it felt as if the cave doesn’t approve of his existence, as if it rejected his entrance and wanted him to vanish completely.
Mormo started to panic a little, but he had no other choice than keep following the group.
After some time, the vice-captain of the group found a small trap door on the floor and point for one of the members of the party to enter.
This person look like a demon, he had a blue hair and a red skin while his teeth on the front of his face was bigger than what you would expect on a human face, he took one of the slaves on his back and entered the small trap door, after a 5 minutes or so a lot of weird noises could be heard …
BBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM
A huge explosion could be heard from below, and the floor started to tremble, which made the weird noises to grow stronger and abruptly all the noises just stopped.
“HAHAHA its look like we are at the right place don’t you think?” said the captain with an amusing face.
“Look like that, who should we send there next?” he said with a grin while observing the remaining 17 cultivators except him and the captain.
“Why don’t you go inside?” said the captain, it wasn’t a question it was an order! He looked at him with a treating gaze, while all the other cultivators looked like they are preparing to attack him at any second.
“HAHAHA of course, of course” the vice-captain said with a dismiss attitude as if everything a round him is nothing but a game, he entered to the small trap door … nothing... absolutely nothing…
“WOOOOOOOO, any one can hear me????” The vice captain shouted from the within.
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
“Will you let me to wait here for long or are you coming??” he kept shouting with a laughing tone.
The group looked at each other annoyingly as the captain sigh and show with his hand for the group to follow him.
Mormo wanted to just leave them there and run for his life, but he was afraid that if he will do so the vice-captain will just tell everyone about his existence ... in other hands it doesn’t look like they will believe him whole heartily and its even questionable if they will not kill him in the middle of their exploration.
Mormo hated to admit it but in the end, he just couldn’t leave Moshe to his own fate. for some unknown reason he felt the need to help to Moshe it was a strong desire to help his FRIEND! Mormo tried to remind himself that he wasn’t his friend, but all his struggle was for nothing as he followed them into the small trap door, from a giant cave he entered a small tunnel which was socket with blood, organs, and flesh. The scene was terrified, but Mormo didn’t even bat an eye as he passed through the tunnel, he tried to understand how this cultivator met his end, but he couldn’t detect anything with his eyes, and he was too afraid to check anything with his essence.
At the end of the tunnel there were a room with 3 doors, while all the other cultivators stood in the middle of the room observing the doors.
“How come nothing happened while you entered the tunnel?” Asked the captain.
“Probably fate” chuckle the vice-captain.
Both looked at each other for a long time before Mormo could hear a whisper in his hear.
“I want you to take the smallest one on the right and enter with him to the middle door, I need you to be able to keep him there for 10 minutes. if you will be able to do so, I will keep my hand in our deal, do it when I will give you a sign”.
Mormo easily detected this creature, he was a strangely beautiful gnome, he had no hair at all but he still was very majestic. When Mormo checked previously his essence density, he was somewhere in the middle of the group. So probably he had a problematic power which will make the vice-captain fight a lot harder.
It was too late for Mormo to just ignore his request, but it wasn’t as if he is going to listen to everything he is going to command him, he will play along until he will have an opportunity to escape with Moshe.
Mormo nodded his head.
A thick wave of electricity left the vice-captain body in a sphere-shaped manner which moved to all directions, while he was the center of it.
it flew from him to his surrounding, the room was quite small, so it was hard for the others to escape from his attack.
But it looked like all of them was quite ready for this development, so they react very coldly and fast,
They divided into two groups, while the gnome wasn’t in the group of the captain, each slave was in the possession of a different group.
Each group threw their slave into the coming shock wave while circling their essence and preparing themself for the fight.
They wanted the slaves to absorb the lighting wave into them and then attack together while all of his attacks will turn useless, lighting is a very strong force, but it will always hit the closest target it can. it will always try to disassemble as fast as it could, that’s the characteristic of electricity.
“Don’t forget, he has the power to create electricity pulses, not to control it!” the captain shouted.
But before Moshe could hit the coming shock waves, the vice-captain upper body came out of the shock wave and grab Moshe while pulling him into the sphere of electricity.
The other slave hit the sphere and died at the spot while stopping the sphere from expending into his direction with his dead body, The direction where the captain group was located.
The sphere kept expanding into the other group direction, four masses of thick and black substances flew from the gnome group into the coming shock wave and created a thick black wall that tried to stop the wave expansion. but at the moment that the wave touched the wall, it stopped for a mere seconds before the wall break apart and the four cultivators coughed up blood from their mouth.
The gnome put a smirk on his face and started to circle his right hand, as he did that the wave stopped its expansion, its looked like all the world stopped to move, like a pocket in this room opened and time moved there differently.
Afterward the gnome started to circle his left hand into the other direction and pointed his hand into the direction of the captain, the captain turned into a dark black mass and flew fast, unimaginably fast, into the now unmoving wave.
“NOW!!!” the vice-captain shouted into Mormo’s ear.
