ELECTUS

Eric was already holding onto Stefan so without asking for his opinion, he flew down again with him.

"Well what about me?"

Spoke Woldemir to himself.

"Well I can handle myself."

He took a few steps forward and calmly jumped down the hole.

As if he wasn"t falling down a d.a.m.n hole of which he didn"t know how deep it is at all, he remained with a casual look on his face.

Is this how all Grand Masters behave?

After he felt like the bottom was closer, he pulled out two small daggers, stabbed them on the sides of the cave.

His suicidal speed downwards the hole slowed down thanks to the daggers and he ended up dangling on what seemed to be the bottom of the hole.

Well it wasn"t exactly the bottom, it was more like the end of the hole. Underneath that hole was more of a wide cave.

In the bottom of that cave about 30 feet from the hole, was water.

It was rare to see water deep down in caves.

Even if it was a source of water that people could benefit from, it is considered rather useless if it"s all the way down there unless someone chooses to make a 15 feet wide well in the middle of a dense forest for some insane reason.

Even building a town is insane there.

It would take a huge budget and time since it was too far from the Clear Lands.

Seeing that the water is deep enough, he proceeds to pull out the daggers out of the dirt and jump downwards the pool of water at the bottom of the cave. It would certainly be deep enough to slow down a fall without fatal circ.u.mstances.

But as he fell in deep, he felt something swimming underneath his feet.

Unfortunately it wasn"t any type of fish.

"I wonder what Eric meant by his last sentence."

He thought.

Shortly after he felt something grabbing his leg and pulling him underneath the water.

Again. it wasn"t any type of fish.

It was a snake. A large snake.

Thankfully the snake didn"t bite Woldemir. Or otherwise it would of been very fatal. The snake just used part of its body to start strangling him.

Everyone heard the splash and those who could fly, arrived at the scene without wasting a second.

They suddenly saw rocks falling down from the ceiling of the cave.

It was indeed an earthquake but Eric and Mogranius weren"t able to feel it because they were in mid air.

Shortly after they saw Woldemir rise from the water with his 2 meter long sword on his hand.

He must of used the handle to hit the snake which likely caused the earthquake.

"Don"t just fly there. Get me out of this G.o.d forsaken water."

Both Eric and Mogranius flew towards Woldemir and grabbed him from the water without wasting a blink of an eye.

It was a wise choice to do so, because the snake didn"t give up.

The moment Woldemir escaped that pool of water, a snake head as big as a full grown sheep arose from the water and missed the guys by a foot.

"By the 8 sources of magic. That"s a t.i.tan.o.boa."

"What in h.e.l.l is a t.i.tan.o.boa?"

Yelled Eric in mid air.

"It"s a Snake. A big one. Before we become its meal we should reach that door we found."

"Yeah no kidding."

"What exactly is there demonic about this h.e.l.l hole?"

"You"ll see."

As they flew towards the door they claim they found they see Commander Alia and Stefan waving their hands, gesturing them to fly faster so they can shove the thick stone door to close.

In that door there were strange writings.

This is likely from the first era since writing advanced greatly ever since the second era started. Or it could be worse.

This doesn"t look like anything a snow ignite would write so it could be something before the ice age.

Did Xakro ill.u.s.tratio l perhaps know more about the sources and the demons?

The door itself was out of hard stone, on that stone there was a mix of red and black markings, giving the demonic vibe. What could there possibly be behind that door?

That was the least of their concerns right now. With a snake looking about 9 meters long chasing them. At least that of course was the part they can see. there is likely more of the snake in the water.

The snake was swimming in astonis.h.i.+ng speeds, they weren"t able at all to fly a good distance away from the t.i.tan.o.boa.

Considering the dangers, Stefan and Commander Alia were already pus.h.i.+ng the very heavy stone door in hopes of closing it a bit before the snake manages to reach the door.

The snake dives in deep in the water. Looking back, the guys thought that the t.i.tan.o.boa finally gave up.

They were dead wrong.

The t.i.tan.o.boa arose from the water again and like it did a big leap, it got closer and closer to the guys.

Their lives flashed in front of their eyes, thinking it was the end. A whole army couldn"t kill them but a mindless snake is about too. BUT. Mogranius has a trick up his sleeve.

He risked it all and created a fire s.h.i.+eld in mid air while proceeding to fly towards the Stone door. The fire s.h.i.+eld wasn"t big. It was no bigger than the Snake"s head.

It was a s.h.i.+eld created with a whole lot of lack of concentration.

The t.i.tan.o.boa hit the s.h.i.+eld with its head hard enough to break the s.h.i.+eld instantly. But even though it managed to break the s.h.i.+eld, it wasn"t able to keep the same speed it had.

It fell down the water causing a huge splash which raised a bit of waves.

Well it wasn"t a bit. It was an amount able to wash off Stefan and Commander Alia.

Fortunately the guys were able to enter the 15 foot tall door before the door was completely shut and before the waves reached.

"So how will we get out now?"
