Noah did not see the prompt as he was worried from what his brother told him. As what his brother told him was a goodbye. As he looked at the direction where his brother is he saw a mass of purple flame flooding the tunnel.

The flood of purple flame caused an explosion which was loud enough to be heard any where. The last thing that Noah saw before being encompassed by [Wisp’s Protection] was his brother being swallowed by the very flames he made.

“Allan, please answer me.” as Noah pleads.

“Please, you have to answer.” Noah cries, not accepting the fact that his brother had already passed away.

As Noah cries for his fallen brother he did not notice a dragon that was woken up by the explosion and was slowly encroaching.

Deep in the depths of grief and sadness he did notice that he accidentally used a spell.

Noah was still sobbing as all the alert screens showed up, blinded by grief and regret. To some degree he blamed himself, that if was this strong then maybe he could have saved his brother. Now fueled by rage, guilt, and repentance the chains ran wild.

“Look out!” The female figure warned her partner.

CLING! The sound of the chains clings as it hits a shield. With one hit from the chains corroded the shield.

As they saw this they were worried as this chains came from the direction where the loud explosion came from and a load roar was heard.

“Come on, we got to hurry!” she said “we must be near. If not, we may lose our kids.”

“But what was that chain? Being able to corrode a refined black steel shield in one hit means that it must at least be an area boss or something.” He states as they are headed to the area.

“That’s why we’ve got to hurry.” She states, “ and look there’s burn mark, it means that we are close by.”

A series of system alerts popped up as the chain rampaged through the complex system of tunnels. Areas where light does not penetrate were even touched.

As the chains continued to rampage the smell of blood had filled the vast cave system. As final bits of emotion left the young boy’s mind, his thinking became clearer. He began to smell the stench of blood and flesh, and soon the chains calmed down and eventually disappeared.

Everything was clear and what the young boy saw made him vomit profusely. Seeing as dismantled, twisted and warped bodies of monsters it was only natural for anyone to feel nauseous.

“Noah! We’re here, we’ve come to save both of you.” His parents exclaimed with visible relief.

“Now, where is your brother?” They asked.
