My chest was sore this time, but there was a difference from last time. I felt the pain came from a different source.
But why is it so painful? And why is there nothing around me as if this area has separated from the rest of the forest?
I feel like there's power here.
When I got closer, my chest was about to burst from the pressure of this hidden energy. But I've had to put up with this energy and step weakly ahead.
My curiosity would kill me if I didn't. I wanted to know what was waiting for me there. What is it that pains me?
The more I move forward, the more pressure I'm under. I felt I would stick to the earth, and the pain inside me suddenly vanished, and a yellow halo appeared around my body.
When that happened, I felt the earth fall from beneath my feet.
And suddenly the flat flooded.
I found myself in an underground cave.
The cave was very high, but I fell on some accumulated sand, so I felt no such pain. But the pressure here was so high and suffocating that it was difficult to breathe.
But an aura of yellow swirled around me and made me feel nothing.
I suddenly saw in front of me a little bit of a corridor relative to where I am now, and after a bit of reflection, I entered this corridor.
The corridor was coming down. I kept going down, and it took me a little while. But when I reached its end, I was shocked by what I saw.
This cave, when I entered it, was too high for me, but now it's not just high! No, I don't see the end of the altitude.
There were so many trees and plants, and it was as if a world had created here.
I stood shocked by what I saw.
I was even more shocked when I felt there was so much life energy in this place.
People like me who have always been friends of death will feel death's energy quickly. But I never imagined there would be so much energy in this place.
And I'm thinking of it, echo a sound in my head.
(Do not go near.)
Am I imagining or what now? What a sound!
I kept moving and suddenly felt a lot of pressure on my body that made me go back.
"I told you not to come near, you imbecile if you don't want to die."
I didn't know where that voice came from.
But I screamed as hard as I could.
"Kill me if you dare, motherfucker."
Does he think I'm stupid or what?
If he could have killed me for doing it in the first place instead of those stupid warnings.
It's suddenly quiet.
So I talked to him.
"Whose voice is this?"
But I didn't get any answers. So I moved quickly, and when I did, my chest was so bright with bright light from nowhere.
But at that moment I heard the voice once, but he was scared and scared this time.
"You... You have a pearl, master! The pearl of destiny."
The pearl of destiny. How did he know? Is he one of the soldiers of the king of Darius or one of his enemies? Well, it doesn't make any difference to me.
"Yes, I do, but who is your master?"
"He is the king of heaven and earth, ruler of shadow, master of the nine armies, Darius."
"I don't know if he is the king of heaven and earth, but I have met him, and he has told me that I'm chosen. I didn't understand what he was saying or what your daft master. Wanted."
When I said that, I felt a blow that sent me flying away.
"Don't offend my Lord, you lowly human."
"This good, I will make you taste death, you son of a bitch."
I heard a laugh in the cave.
"You alone? A weak person like you can't even touch the corners of my dress. I was the one who lived through many ages and participated in many battles, and I was the closest follower to King Darius."
When I have done, I found a giant creature approaching me in the dark, with a long tail, horns, and tusks.
When he got closer, he was already a dragon. But it was an old dragon with curly skin and saggy wings, like mature skin.
His horns twisted back with long hair under his chin, he was old, but out of it came the life force that makes the plants grow in this wild place.
Just looking at him from the outside will think he'll die, but if you feel the power of his aura, you'll know that this creature is too powerful. Far more reliable than I am, the difference between his power and mine is like heaven and earth. There's nothing I can do in front of him if he decides to kill me.
But I did not cower or shrink back before that entity.
I don't care if I die; it's no big deal.
But at that moment, a voice resonated in my mind.
"If you are the chosen one, where are the 35 bodies that were in the tomb with my master? Those bodies will follow only the one chosen, but I don't see them around you. Lying to me is like killing you."
He said so as he lifted his pressure on me, I couldn't stand it, but I turned up my key-power and kept rising. My whole body was in pain, and if this pain went on too long, I would die. Blood came out of the corners of his mouth.
"I don't need to lie to you, senile dragon, if you're going to kill me, the fucking corpses here."
Got the body out of my realm.
When the dragon saw it, the shock hit his face and wings slightly shaken.
(How did they come out of nowhere like that? Where were they hiding? I couldn't even feel their aura.)
He roared, and the lack of control over his voice made him feel as if his guts were being torn open, and his mind was about to explode.
"Where the hell did you get those bodies out?"
I looked at him in amazement, why did this dragon come to be like this? Is it time for his delirium now? But as he was shocked, he lifted the pressure off my body, I told him:
"From my realm."
The dragon's face got more bumped up, and he said,
"Do you have that gadget?"
"What gadget."
"The device my Lord always sought, for which he destroyed many worlds and subjected us to many wars.
"Which is also the cause of my Lord's death. Ring of chaos."
Why is this dragon talking so much? Let the Ring of chaos say and shut up, and what a Ring of chaos he's talking about.
"I know nothing about this ring you're talking about."
"This is the most powerful instrument of the king of Kings."
"Who is this King of Kings?"
"If you are the chosen one, it is not yet time to know. But I must warn you, and you possess something that will be your downfall that will make everyone come after you and try to kill you to get what you have."
I looked at him with my eyes shining with enthusiasm and bewilderment at the same time. What is this thing that I have, what is the Ring of chaos, who is the king of Kings, what is this insanity I know nothing about?
"I am Gray old dragon, and I know you have lived for many years and fought many battles. But if you don't meet someone like me, I'm willing to face the whole world, and I don't care."
When I was done talking, I heard the snoring and laughing off the fucking dragon.
"Humph, I wish it were just this world, my master would still be..."
I differ from your master, Gray incisor arrogance.
"It is not yet time for debate, I am about to die, and therefore I will give you the thing my Lord commanded me to give to the chosen one."
As soon as I heard those words. I knew I'd get something precious new, and I was happy to hear that blood hurtling fast across my beats.
"It's a 'sacred dragon seed,' it needs a lot of energy and strength to grow. But as it becomes, the dragon, which will be a thousand times stronger than me, will emerge because it is backed by my energy, the energy of my master, and the energy of many creatures. This is my Lord's treasure, and I will use the last of my energy and give it to you, preserve this seed and increase your power quickly before they know you're here, and you have two tools! And don't forget, you must go to the devil's land and then go to the dark mountains, you will find my master's soldiers waiting for you with the third instrument.
He said that and gave me the seed with a small stone, and after a short moment, the dragon turned to steam and entered the ordinary stone into my hand and disappeared.
When he did, the stone shone and became a dragon tattoo.
I put that seed into my realm.
And stone.
My chest lights up with glitter.
"Level up."
