Chapter 8 - 08

"Waaaaaahh"

A scream could be heard throughout the forest because it was so loud.​​

This cry was not of joy or fear but rather of distress, surprise and then a little bit of fear.

In the air above the forest, we could see a kind of beam crossing the sky and splitting the air in its path.

It was heading towards the top of the mountain at a dizzying speed.

This beam crossing the sky was none other than Shin after pushing with a titanic force on his legs.

The trick is that he knew he could reach the mountain with his strength thanks to the confirmation of the system, only he didn't know the degree of force he had to use.

So he pushed at a force that he considered sufficient to reach the top of the mountain.

It must be understood that the mountain he was heading towards was as big as Mont Blanc and therefore had an altitude of about 4000 meters.

A force exerted on his legs by a human being, no matter how hard he tried, it was impossible to do that.

Even taking off from a few meters off the ground is impossible then 4000 meters?

So after a few seconds of traveling through the sky, Shin quickly arrived in the direction of the cavity alias the cave present at the top of the mountain.

The other problem is that he maybe knew how to put some strength in his legs but he didn't know how to stop in the open air!

He had no grip to slow him down, he was in the air and had no control.

Then happened what had to happen, Shin was about to crash into the wall right next to the cave.

But just before he hit the wall, he had come up with an idea how to make sure that he didn't hit the wall from the front but from the back.

He extended his right leg and then concentrated a great deal of force in his leg to give it sufficient power.

He put more force than he thought was necessary at the base because he counted the fact that the effort of the kick will be harder with the wind going in the opposite direction, adding extra pressure.

Having concentrated enough strength in his right leg, Shin kicked a big kick forward.

The kick from the front was powerful and balanced enough to make Shin's body do a pirouette and now find himself with his head upside down towards the ground and his back against the wall.

"BAAM"

Finally, the shock between him and the wall came and caused a loud thud and a cloud of dust that made it impossible to see how to go Shin

The thud of the impact was followed by crackling sounds from the impact, moving from all sides like a spider's web.

The dust finally dissipated to show us Shin still with his head upside down, stuck in the wall of the mountain.

This same wall that was once quite normal and had no scratches or even scrapes now had a huge crater at least 50 meters wide within it.

Given the speed and force exerted by Shin, if he had not kicked to change position and cushion his fall, there would surely have been a crater at least twice the size of the one already there.

"Phew" Shin exhaled relief after falling to the ground below the crater.

Still on the ground, he got up to see the "hole" he had made in the mountain.

"Oops" He scratched his head when he saw what he had done.

"Shin excused himself comically, reassuring himself that the crater would not be visible from afar.

He then turned his gaze away from the crater and directed it towards the famous cave he had come for.

The size of the entrance was much larger than what it looked like at the bottom... logical considering the distance between the two locations.

It was really big, so much so that even if Shin had no idea of the size of a dragon he was sure he could enter without difficulty.

"The space problem won't be one less problem" rationalized Shin.

Shin entered the cave to discover a small corridor that was still the same size as the entrance.

For the moment, the "corridor" was normal, even too normal, with no stones, metals, crystals, no relief, nothing, just smooth rock with no sign of imperfection.

It was really disturbing and strange, in caves the various resources were normally scattered all over the place.

And when it wasn't, it was either that it was really just a simple cave or that all the resources were in one place.

Still walking for 1 minute, he saw a strong light shining at the end of the corridor.

Arriving at the end of the corridor, Shin was greeted by a huge open space that could accommodate several dragons and of a height that would allow them to fly.

Natural pillars of rocks were present in the room to hold the immense ceiling.

This place was not as dull and monotonous as in the corridor.

It was full of reliefs, filled with crystals that illuminated this place in a pure white, a waterfall coming out of the wall a pure crystalline water that spread out to form a small pond.

The crystals even hung from the ceiling and shone to make them look like stars.

Around the small pond, grass had even managed to grow on top of soil present on a good small surface.

The sound of the cascading waterfall as well as the song of small birds perched on the only tree next to the pond made this place heavenly.

Shin did not even understand how a place like this could not have been already taken as territory by humans, animals or dragons.

Shin's eyes were filled with surprise at the sight of this space.

"Magnificent" were the only words he could say at this breathtaking view.

"This will be my new home" Admiring this place, Shin decided to make it his home.
