The darkness was strange. Black sash knights were trained to fight in the darkness, in fact, darkness was our friend. Yet for some reason, not one of us could see anything beyond the orange light being emitted from Gary"s stone.
My dragon eyes skill was useless as well, just like with the red door something was blocking my abilities.
"We should go back," Monk said shakily.
"We"veWe"ve made it this far we can"t go back now," Gary said.
"But we can"t even see anything."
Gary ignored monk and started to move down the stairs, as the light source quickly moved, the rest of us were being covered in darkness. If felt like we were going to be consumed by something if we didn"t stay in the light.
The four us moved forward Gary led the way and behind him Monk, then Jasmine and I were at the back. I wanted to keep it this way in case Jasmine decided to make a break for it.
While walking down the stairs I noticed that we weren"t heading straight down, the stairs were spiral-shaped heading downwards with the wall to our right.
We slowly moved down as many of the stairs were broken and we didn"t know how far the stairs went.
Eventually, after ten minutes had pa.s.sed we had reached the bottom. The stairs lead to a circular room. we walked around the circle room until we came across a giant iron door. We continued to see if there was anything else, but all we could find was the iron door.
"Well, I guess this is the only way," Gary said.
"Why is there no one in here?" Jasmine said.
"What do you mean?" Monk asked.
"Don"t you think they would have more guards in here, and what about the guards out front?"
We were probably all thinking the same thing. I still thought that Jasmine had set up a trap for us three and that"s why they were no guards but even she was questioning it now.
Gary decided to ignore her and pushed the iron door open. We had no choice but to quickly follow as Gary was our only light source.
When I closed the iron door behind us a line of orange lights on both sides of the wall started to light up. The lights were similar to the crystal Gary currently held in his hand. The room wasn"t fully lit but finally, we were able to see what was in front of us.
The room we were currently in was as big as Avrion academy training ground, what surprised us there were many beds on the ground. As if a whole army had set up base here underground. Along with the beds, there were also plates knives and forks and a few items of clothing.
But there was not another soul in sight.
"What do you think happened here?" Gary asked.
"It looks like a campsite of some sought?" Monk said.
"Maybe they were hiding down here," Jasmine said.
If they were hiding what were they hiding from? I thought to myself.
With the room now dully lit Gary had put his crystal stone away. We all split up and decided to search the area to see if we could find anything.
Then Monk shouted "Over here! there"s another door."
Monk would yell every once in a while so we knew his location, then we finally had all arrived at the iron door. It was a huge Iron door that was nearly the same size as the mansion. Around 30 meters tall and 10 meters wide.
"Did you try to open it?" Gary asked.
"No just in case there was something behind it," Monk replied.
Gary then went over and tried to push the door open, first he tried to just use his hands. the door didn"t move an inch. Then Gary took a small run up and jumped at the door leading with his shoulder.
*Bang
Still, no movement from the door.
"Well are you guys just going to stand there and stare or you going to try help?" Gary said.
"I thought you had it?" Jasmine said.
Gary Monk and jasmine tried pushing the door, while I wanted to get a better look from further away to see if there was anything I could spot. Even with the strength of the three of them, the door didn"t move. Gary tried attacking it with his sword Ki, but it didn"t even leave a white scratch mark on it.
"What"s this thing made out of?" Gary said.
JAsmine started to look at the centre of the door where she could see a giant circle in the middle of it "It must be locked, either that or it weighs a ton."
Even if the did weigh a ton using our combined Ki energy should have been enough to push the door open. Gary and his sword Ki would have sliced a regular iron door as well.
Monk still had gooseb.u.mps appearing all over his body, "I really think we should go, clearly whoever made that door doesn"t want us in there, or it"s keeping something in that they don"t want out."
"We can"t go!" Gary shouted. "I can feel it, we"re so close, something from inside is calling out to me."
"But we can"t go any further without getting this door opened first," Jasmine said.
Gary wasn"t the only one who didn"t want to turn back, I too wanted to see what was behind that door. Since we had come down here this whole place had been mysterious. Why didn"t my dragon powers work beyond the red door?
While we were underground I tried to activate the skill multiple times. The dragon eyes skill would activate but not allow me to see anything, it was better just to use my ordinary eyesight.
While the three continued to argue about whether to stay a little while longer or turn back I decided to approach the door and see if there was anything they had missed.
I placed my hand on the centre of the door where a line ran down the middle. Then a notification screen appeared.
