Chapter 137: What Lies Behind the Mountain

Miles passed the log bridge without a problem. He thought there would be a surprise on it, but even the bouncing Jelly passed through safely, and from the way it was leading Miles, he could say Jelly was familiar with the place. So it probably used this bridge more than once.

On the other side of the bridge, there was a steep wall reaching all the way to the ceiling. Climbing wasnt an option at all. Miles looked at the steep cliff and Jelly. I dont think we can go up there.

You pulled me here to take you there? Miles asked after getting Jellys message. No monster in the cave was able to fly. Miles didnt know if the monsters were coincidentally all terricole.Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

So, Jelly couldnt ask for their help and pulled me since I could fly. It probably read my mind when we first encountered and got the information. It is too dangerous. I actually never thought of wing orbs until I reached the mountain!

Miles looked at the pitiful monster and remembered the emotions he felt from it. It got separated from its mother and pulled Miles all the way here to reunite with her. So he wanted to help too. He still didnt know if the feeling and urge to help were psychic influences of the monster or his own ideas, but his heart was asking him to help the poor monster, at present.

Miles asked Coin to charge the wings, and stone-like grey wings appeared on his back. They attached to his spine and he felt two new limbs appearing on his body. He willed it and started to fly. Because he was afraid to plummet back to the ground, he didnt float too high, but after standing at three-meter height for more than ten seconds, he realized he could fly just fine.

Miles descended to the ground once again and landed beside Jelly. Since Jelly was a round monster, he couldnt wrap his hand around it. So he tied a rope around its body without hurting it, he then floated with the monster.

Miles flew up and reached the top in a short few seconds. After all, the wings were fast, and the ceiling wasnt that far. But when he reached the top, the scene in front of him wasnt anything like he imagined. The cliff wasnt connected to the ceiling but instead, there was an open area starting after the cliff. The open area wasnt so large, it was pretty small but what caused him to be shell-shocked was the thing at the end of the open area.

One after another, he walked very slowly, but in the end, reached the base of the wall. His body was aching, and it felt like climbing on a mountain with regular human strength. Just the pressure alone was enough for Miles to give up and kneel on the ground, but he preserved. His will was tested with the dangerous breath around him. Luckily eyes werent looking at him anymore and only watched the cave.

Miles grabbed Jelly once again and started to float. But his wings couldnt carry them to air. Miles thought it to be the aura, and not the gravitational force causing it. He closed his eyes and ignored the bloodlust around him. Focused on his inner breath and mustered his courage. Now he had to fly, he had to fly to the mother and deliver Jelly. Not because he was afraid of the giant monster, not because of anything else, but for only, he thought so. He felt so.

Miless wings flapped and he appeared in front of the hole, he pushed Jelly to the hole but the hole wasnt big enough for it to fit. How come you came from there but cant pass through now? Miles questioned the fat monster.

What? You got bigger over time you fed on this side? Miles was at a loss. He didnt know how he should solve this problem.

Can you do anything about it? He asked once again, and an idea formed in Jellys mind. Its body started to shrank. In just a few seconds it was as small as a basketball now.

You can do that? Then why didn't your mother do that and come to this side? Miles questioned with a twitch.

Oh, this is your innate ability, and your mother doesnt have it. I see. Miles nodded and placed Jelly to hole on the wall. Jelly bounced forward and jumped to its mother. Miles now could see the giant monster. It was a humanoid with two arms and two legs. There was a silver dress on her giant body. It was maybe five meters long, and except for missing a nose and ears, it looked just like a human. It held the now expanded-back Jelly in its hand and looked at it lovingly. Miles could see the monster's love for Jelly from those eyes.

As Miles was about to turn back, a voice appeared in his mind. Wait, human!
