ELECTUS

The hallway has exquisite design. Far to much quality to be called just a cave.

The red markings mixed up with the astonis.h.i.+ng stone design, made the place look like a h.e.l.l like structure.

Moss was growing on those hallway walls, and even though the quality was good, cracks on the stonework were to be seen often. But the whole hallway seemed quite stable.

Declaring that whatever made this cave, did it a very long time ago. Perhaps even far before the first Era started.

It is a surprise that the t.i.tan.o.boa splas.h.i.+ng on the water itself didn"t cause for this hallway to collapse. That"s how old it seemed.

The first Era in general was started by the Ignites. Once the ice age ended, Snow Ignites returned to their motherland, leaving everything they worked on behind.

Ignites declaring a peace treaty after Hundreds of years of war for land with the ill.u.s.tratios, settling for all the land the Snow Ignites left behind.

Snow Ignites owned most of the Continent. The ill.u.s.tratios and Ignites had barely any land and the Calidum Lutum settled for one town(Lan Zhe) avoiding the war for land, isolating themselves.

They walked and walked. The hallway seemed to be endless. Only strange Markings were to be seen. No one, including Mogranius or Stefan did recognize what those Markings say.

If it was Ignite or ill.u.s.tratian language, it would be recognizable even if it was before the second era.

Writing and reading advanced a lot in the second era but a few letters remained the same. So if the markings were written in ill.u.s.tratian or Ignite, they would be able to recognize it.

Calidum Lutum letters barely changed ever since they disappeared when the first war for land started. They do love their language though.

Not to forget, the architectural structures and Stonemasonry seemed a bit ahead of time.

The Stones were just cut to well. Nothing before the first era could top that.

After they walked for what seemed like forever, they reached a bigger opening.

The opening included what seemed to be a throne room.

The throne room is quite empty. It had nothing but the throne. Everything else seemed to have been ruined by time.

Behind the throne was a bigger opening, leading to what seems to be a town. A big town. Could this bee a Blue Goblin domain?

Wait. Did I say that the room included nothing but a throne. I forgot to add one tiny detail.

It also included a Creature.

Thankfully it wasn"t a t.i.tan.o.boa.

Due to the red and black textures the hallway and the throne room has, it gave in very little to light.

Torches wouldn"t help noticing a creature 20 feet away. The creature also had a dark texture which made it a whole lot difficult to notice it.

However. The creature didn"t need to be found. It introduced itself with the green light in its eyes that appeared out of nowhere.

Is the creature awoken?

The group was left in shock because a heart beat after the creature"s eyes lit, gems spread all around the cave lit up.

They weren"t Ignite Gems though. In fact these gems didn"t seem to be from this continent or this world for that matter.

Could it be aliens? Well. Something close.

They saw the creature seated on the throne. Trying to speak to them.

When the Gems spread out the red light they possessed, making everything visible, out of a self defensive instinct Mogranius formed a Fire s.h.i.+eld in a heartbeat, surrounding everyone.

Unleas.h.i.+ng a fire s.h.i.+eld for a beginner could take much longer, but Mogranius having it done Hundreds of times in his life, was trained enough to unleash one almost instantly.

"What is that thing?"

Asked Eric.

"xbxjxkxkxlxkx"

Said the creature.

"Demon!"

Yelled Mogranius.

"Zezezezezezezezezezezezeze"

Said the creature.

"What is it trying to say?"

"Maz"p graza!"

"Wait that was Calidum Lutum Language."

Pointed out Commander Alia.

"What did it say? I"m about to Urinate because of this s.h.i.+t."

Said Stefan in fear. As a man who curses intensely rare, this proved how terrifying the situation was.

"It"s specifically telling us to not leave."

Explained Commander Alia with her ShortSword up.

"This is worse than the t.i.tan.o.boa and I was face to face with that b.a.s.t.a.r.d."

Yelled Woldemir holding "The Rumbler" up.

"Thank you for your patience. I hope it didn"t take me too long to recognize your language."

Said the creature who sounded like a she.

Her tone was so gentle now and no one was forced to bless their pants now.

Actually her tone sounded very welcoming.

"Who are you. What the h.e.l.l are you doing underground on this abandoned place."

"I"m the last of the Earth Demons. A branch of the most intelligent Demons h.e.l.l had to offer.

Well at least before Magic was a thing in this World."
