Dagger

Luckily, the ground wasn"t ruggy nor too dangerous, unlike other caves.

"How long will this walk take?", Drake asked.

"About a few hours.", Kate answered.

"I guess the next few hours would be uneventful.", Drake sighed in disappointment.

"We should still be careful, there might be monsters in here.", Allen said.

"Yes... but do you think there would be any giant spiders in here?", Drake asked.

"Most likely.", Kate and Allen answered at the same time.

"Oh.", Drake took out his dagger from his sleeves while holding the torch with his other hand.

Allen: "..."

Kate: "..."

"At least he"s always prepared.", Allen inwardly sighed.

Suddenly, the ground below them shook, almost making them fall of their balance. After which, the stalact.i.tes fell from the ceiling, raining down towards trio.

However, the three of them already prepared for the stalact.i.tes to fall, they took out their daggers and sent dagger flashes towards the falling stalact.i.tes.

-sou-

The stalact.i.tes that were heading for the trio were sliced apart by their dagger flashes, though the ones heading for Allen almost turned into dust.

The other stalact.i.tes, on the other hand, either broke when it made contact with the ground or impaled itself to it.

"Did you use too much energy to your dagger flash?", Kate asked.

"No, I just used the normal amount of energy.", Allen replied.

"You"re almost catching up to our level!", Drake commented.

Actually, earlier, Kate and Drake only used below average amount of energy to release a dagger flash that was strong enough to slice apart the stalact.i.tes that were heading to them. On the other hand, Allen used the normal amount of energy to release his (Dagger Flash).

Now that most of the stalact.i.tes had fallen to the floor of the cave, the ground became more dangerous than before.

"Be careful on where you"ll step on.", Kate reminded.

"Mhm.", Allen and Drake nodded.

Several minutes of arduous walking pa.s.sed, and the trio reached a large chamber with many more tunnels stretching out to seven different directions.

"The right path is at the middle.", Kate looked at the map. They continued walking, however, when they were already near the tunnel, Drake stepped on a rock which sunk into the ground.

"Oh no.", Drake noticed what just happened.

"What is it?", Kate asked, while Allen made a curious gaze, but before Drake could say amything, the ground rumbled again, luckily, this time, there were only a few stalact.i.tes on the ceiling, which didn"t hit the trio even once.

The boulders scattered around the chamber shook, and rolled towards the largest boulder beside the entrance. In a few seconds, they stacked up on each other, and two glowing eyes appeared on the highest rock.

Recognizing what was it, the three couldn"t help but suck in a cold breath as they thought at the same time.

"A golem."

When the golem stabilized it"s footing, it blocked the pa.s.sageway using a boulder beside it. After which, it howled and slowly walked towards them.

Each of it"s steps could shake the whole chamber, making the monster more intimidating.

As the distance between the golem and the trio wasn"t that far to begin with, it started to attack with it"s fist. However, the trio already backed away from their previous location.

-whoosh- -bam-

When the golem"s fist hit the ground, it created an another tremor, after which, it lifted it"s fist back up, there, the kids saw that the ground that they were standing before caved in!

"Good thing the golem is slow, or else we"re already blood pastes by now!", Kate remarked.

"Is there any way to defeat the golem?", Drake looked at Allen. The latter was the most intelligent in the group to begin with.

Kate also looked at Allen, "It better not be a pickaxe... right?"

"Don"t worry, it"s not!", Allen a.s.sured as he tried to remember the weakness of the golem.

"Could the golem also be under the curse?", Drake asked.

"No, elemental beings won"t be affected by almost any kind of curses, specially bane ones.", Allen said.

-bam- -bam-

The golem"s steps were heavy as ever as it slowly approached the trio, however, the kids had already increased their distance once again.

"I got it, we need to destroy the the golem"s core inside it"s chest.", Allen pointed at the golem"s chest, which was also where the largest boulder was located.

"We need a weapon that could pierce through stone, but we don"t have that kind of a weapon.", Kate said.

Allen thought of the (Erchian Dagger), but dismissed the idea. The said weapon was too risky to use, and most likely won"t even last a second in Allen"s hands due to his small amount of energy, even after Lord Levine helped him increase the energy of the body that he could store.

"How about we continously damage the chest?", Drake suggested.

"We could, but the golem could probably heal the cracks.", Allen said.

"Are there any other ways to destroy that monster?", Kate asked.

"I"m sure there are, but I don"t know them.", Allen shook his head.

After a brief pause, he said, "But we should try probing it with dagger flashes first."

"Alright, I use the average amount of energy needed.", Drake said.

"Me too.", Kate said. "Release it at my count, one, two, three, now!"

Each of them made a dagger flash which flew towards the chest of the golem.

-bam-

Smoke and dust rose up from the golem"s chest, however, when it settled down, there wasn"t even a scratch!

"It"s tougher than I thought, but I suddenly got an idea.", Allen said

"Kate can you make it blind with throwing knives that have energy? If we can"t kill it, let"s just leave it here.", the kid continued.

"Alright.", Kate took out two throwing knives, and this time, she even inserted energy it in!

-whoosh-

After which, she threw them, and accurately hit the eyes of the golem!

-boom-

In addition, due to the energy that was inside the throwing knives, it exploded and the golem held it"s eyes in pain. Even though the golem could heal cracks on it"s body, it"s a different story when it came to it"s eyes, because the said part of their body was special and almost irreplaceable.

"Drake could you make it attack the boulder blocking the center pa.s.sageway?", Allen asked.

"Of course.", Drake activated his Speed Amulet and rushed in front of the boulder.

"Hey, I"m here!", Drake sent out a dagger slash towards the golem. Just like what happened earlier, it didn"t create a scratch, but it was enough to enrage the golem.

It howled angrily and charged towards Drake"s location while punching out with a hand. The speed of the golem"s charge was much faster than earlier, it was as if it"s disregarding the possibility that the chamber might collapse, however, the kid"s reaction was fast and got out of the way in time.

-bang-

The golem punched the boulder blocking the way, and cracked into pieces! As it was about to punch again, Kate sent out a dagger flash from behind the golem, making it go towards the girl"s and Allen"s location.

But it was all under Allen"s plan, the two already ran away and regrouped in front of the center pa.s.sageway with Drake.

"Let"s go."

...

This time, the walk through the pa.s.sageway almost took an hour, but they finally entered an another chamber.

When the trio entered the chamber they couldn"t see the walls or the ends of the said location, even with the magical fire of the torches they were holding, the whole chamber was pitch black!

"This is the final chamber, the treasure is suppose to be here, but where is it?", Kate pondered.

"It"s probably at the far end of the chamber.", Drake said.

However, in an instant, the ground shook violently, alerting the trio. However, it immediately stopped after a few seconds.

"Did somebody just stepped onto something?", Drake asked.

"No.", Kate said.

"I didn"t.", Allen added.

"Let"s go...", before Kate could finish her sentence, they all suddenly felt hot air battering their bodies.

"Kate, did you just fart?", Drake joked.

"What?! No!", Kate snorted.

Meanwhile, Allen had a surprised expression with changed to a pale one. The other two then noticed his complexion.

Kate asked, "What is it, Allen?"

"I think I have a guess why the barbarians couldn"t take over this mountain without the help of necromancer during the war.", Allen said.

"Oh? What is it then?", Drake asked.

"I read something in a book about the Mount Watchtower, it was said that long ago, even during the war... a dragon was living in this place.", Allen gulped in his saliva.

"Hahaha... that"s impossible, right? Tell me it is! You"re just joking... right?", Drake laughed to ease the nervousness. He already met the giant spiders in the mountain that he feared the most, now they"re going to meet a dragon... how crazy was that?!

If somebody else heard what was happening, they would"ve become crazy by now!

Suddenly, they felt hot air battering them again, but this time, they felt that it came from where their backs were facing! Earlier, it came from above them!

After which, two giant eyes opened behind them.
