Chapter 60: An Ancient looking Cave II
After meeting Blane, Kyle asked him about the cave but Blane also didn't know anything.
Blane was just hunting a monster when he saw some elves and this strange place.
The other black-haired human with Blane was called 'Henson'. He was a commoner who belonged to one of the Academy present inside 'Kingdom Loringnad'.
Henson was already present when Blane appeared and because both of them were humans they decided to team up.
While Kyle and Blane were talking a sudden cracking voice sounded, making them look at the cave.
The shield around the cave started crumbling and before long it completely disappeared.
The elf who broke the shield shouted with joy and looked at his companions who were praising him.
All the elves gathered together and without even glancing toward Kyle and the other two humans, they entered the cave.
After the elves disappeared inside the cave, Kyle and the others looked at each other and entered the cave as well.
Bia who was flying above everyone the whole time went toward Kyle, slowly sitting on his head.
Hanson was a little surprised seeing Bia, but he didn't say anything.
All three of them walked for almost fifteen minutes, the inside of the cave was dimly lit with a white hue coming from the bunch of uneven rocks scattered around the cave. While walking they didn't encounter anything.
But after 10 more minutes, they appeared inside a huge empty open area.
Nine different tunnels similar to the cave they entered were present in a row at the end of the open area.
The elves were already gone because except for Kyle, Blane and Hanson no one was present inside the open area.
Also, no one knew what was behind the tunnels that's why Kyle looked at the duo standing beside him and gave his opinion.
"Shall we go together?"
Blane and Hanson looked at the tunnels but after a second, Hanson said that they should go alone because it would be a pain if they found something precious and had to divide it equally.
Kyle raise his brow but then he looked at Blane seemingly waiting for his answer.
"I also think we should choose a tunnel and go alone."
Kyle didn't say anything and just started walking toward one of the tunnels at the edge.
Hanson choose and went toward the middle tunnel while Blane entered the tunnel present at the right corner.
The moment Kyle entered the tunnel he felt like he just passed through a warm water curtain.
For some reason, he felt refreshed after the invisible curtain touched his skin.
Kyle immediately turn around to touch the curtain again but to his surprise, there was a small white wall behind him.
He had an idea as to what was going on but still, Kyle punch the wall with 20% of his strength.
-BAM!
For a while, some ripples formed inside the wall but it didn't break just like Kyle thought.
With a sigh, he turn around and started walking toward the other end of the tunnel. After walking for two minutes Kyle appeared inside another open area.
But this time there were no tunnels, only a large pool at the center of the area.
Kyle looked at the calm pool with squinted eyes because in the middle of the pool, a shiny book was floating mid-air.
After spotting the book, he started walking toward it but when he saw what was inside the pool Kyle jumped backward with a horrid expression.
With slow steps, Kyle walked back toward the pool. The water inside the pool was crystal clear, making it easy for anyone to spot what was inside.
A huge snake like white lizard was curled up inside the water like a rope. It huge body was even taller than the Scorpio.
The Lizard was breathing slowly while its eyes were closed.
Kyle gazed at the Lizard with heavy heartbeat.
It was (D)-Rank! He staggered looking at the sleeping Lizard.
With a sweaty forehead, Kyle almost crawled back from where he came from but alas the tunnel was closed off.
Standing beside a wall, Kyle gazed at the pool with caution and whispered toward Bia who seemed to be sleeping on top of his head.
'Bia what should we do.'
Hearing her name being called, Bia slowly opened her round eyes and looked at the surrounding.
Bia didn't sleep yesterday night because she was keeping an eye on the surrounding when Kyle was sleeping. That's why she fell asleep the moment she sat on top of Kyle head.
With a sleepy expression, Bia looked at her surrounding.
-'What happened.'
Kyle heard Bia's sleepy voice and become speechless.
We are almost standing in front of death and you are sleeping!
He wanted to shout this same line but controlled himself so as to not wake up the huge lizard accidentally.
'Nothing special, we are just doomed and maybe going to die soon.'
-'What?'
Bia started flying with a confused expression, she waved her small wings making wind sounds.
Kyle almost fainted.
'Don't make noise!'
Hearing Kyle worried voice, Bia looked around but she found no one in the surrounding.
-'Huh what's that shiny thing.'
Before Kyle could tell her about the situation Bia started flying toward the book. She looked at the book curiously but after finding out it was useless to her she just picked it up with her feet.
Amidst all this, she failed to notice the big white Lizard sleeping just a few centimeters below the water.
Oh the other hand, Kyle looked at Bia. He was so shocked that he wasn't able to utter a single word.
His body was drenched with sweat as he looked at Bia with a wide mouth.
On the other hand, the moment Bia picked up the book a small tunnel opened up at the opposite side of the pool.
Bia flew back toward Kyle and threw the book toward him before sitting on top of his head again with an annoyed expression.
-'Don't wake me up again for such a small task. I haven't slept properly for the last two days.'
With a dumbfounded expression, Kyle looked at the book inside his hands and then at the tunnel.
He wasn't sure what to say anymore.
He slowly staggered toward the opposite side of the pool with a blank expression and entered the tunnel.
While contemplating about the way he was living up till now.
