Chapter 302: Strange Place
Miles rose from where they fell and looked at Val and Makwa. After making sure they were fine, he looked around. At least the illusion is broken. He sighed as he blinked. The bloody aura and woman disappeared as soon as they passed through the portal.
There wasn't much around. As far as the eye could see, a forest was reaching out. The trees were purple unlike their Earthly counterparts, and the branches were pink. Although they looked beautiful it was because of their unique colors.
The ground was covered with red grass and had a soft texture. Felt like grass on Earth, but the color was crimson red. If it wasn't for Val's confirmation, he would think the grass was a part of the illusion. But it was real.
There were two celestial bodies pinned in the sky. Miles thought them to be moons, as they werent as bright as a star nor as big as planets. They didn't look bigger than the Moon and they were very close to each other.
Is this another planet? Val asked with Makwa in her hands.
Seems like it. Miles nodded, There must be a portal in the ravine. We fell right into it."Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com
"This worlds gravity is a lot less than Earth's. He then added.
Hmm. I am not sure if we are lucky or not for falling into this portal. We might have died if we were to fall into the ravine. Val said as she tried to walk in a direction.
Should we return? She asked.
Lets take a look at this world. I also need to replenish my energy. I cannot carry all of us for the time being.
Rome, Rome! Val cried in distress.
Barrier! Miles exclaimed in surprise.
Why would there be a barrier in this place? Val asked in surprise. Miles looked around and took a step forward. He was facing the barrier, so Val couldnt see his face. Miles activated the elemental vision. A pink sphere starting from mist to reaching out the forest appeared in front of him.
What the hell is this? Miles switched to Energy vision and saw a big amount of energy was gathering at the center of the barrier. It was on the other side of the forest.
Lets go that way. Miles pointed at the center as he deactivated the vision. Val nodded and followed.
The area wasnt big, and they arrived after they walked some distance. When Miles reached the center, he realized it was just under the portal where they fell. Even their depressions were still on the grass.
Can you feel anything under the ground? Miles asked. Val looked at him with questions in her eyes, but focused her powers on the ground, after a while, she opened her eyes in surprise. I first thought there was nothing, but now that I focused, there is something preventing me from looking. She said excitedly.
Let me dig, Miles said and reached out his two arms. A shovel made of energy appeared in his hand. He made it as strong and sharp as he could and started to dig. Because the gravity of this world was lesser, the soil was softer. Miles could push the shovel easily, and the energy was also helping him remove more and more earth from the ground.
After digging more than 30 meters, Miles felt the ground under him quaking.
"It is caving in!"
He was still wearing his wings, so he floated in the air and the ground he was digging started to crack open and a large amount of earth fell from the hole that had just appeared.
It looked like a dark eye opened up on the ground looking back at them eerily. Although there wasn't any sign of life, it still gave a bad feeling to all three. Miles was holding Makwa and Val tightly while his back was cold from the aura seeping out from that hole.
