Chapter 344: Deepest Fear

Chapter 344: Deepest Fear

Welcome back, my child.

This cant be real. Val shook her head profusely in denial. She looked around and the figure but nothing she could see proved otherwise. What she was seeing looked as real as life itself. She closed her eyes and activated her ultimate. All of a sudden, everything disappeared. The figure, the cave, and even Miles and others. Only she remained. In the center of the darkness, images started to play backward. One by one, it showed the different angles of the cave and the people who entered it in the last hour.

Figures, Val muttered as she canceled the ultimate. She looked around and saw others were frozen on the spot. She walked to Miles and let her energy enter his body. With a jerk, Miles jumped back.

What happened? He asked as he looked around.

There is a creature that can show you your deepest fears. Val said and pointed at others, It pulled us all into an illusion when we entered the cave.

How did you get out? Miles asked in a shiver as he remembered what he had seen. He didnt know before, but now that he had seen it, it all made sense. His biggest fear was weakness. Accepting the defeat. Rotting and getting weaker.

It showed me something impossible, so I realized something was wrong. Val smiled but didnt elaborate. Miles didnt ask either. He wouldnt want to share what he had seen, nor would others want everyone to know their deepest insecurities.

Lets wake others, Val called. Miles nodded and moved to Alex. He disturbed the energy flow and Alex also jerked awakened.

What happened? He asked after he looked around.

There is a monster that can show your deepest fears. Val was able to wake up, and saved me too. Miles gave the credit as he looked at Alex and Maya.

How did you do it? Maya asked. I thought about the possibility of an ability or illusion and tried everything but I failed.

Viscount Percivals Sun Piercer

Although it was a spear technique, it didnt matter when the opponent was stationary. The dagger shone like a sun and stabbed at the throne.

WAHHHH! An ear-deafening sound covered the cave, as Miles took a step back in pain. He led energy into his ears to plug them off and stabbed the throne over and over again. Blue blood seeped from the holes he created and only after the twentieth stab, did the monster die.

Miles cut open the body but found nothing.

That is strange, Miles said as he made smaller cuts all over the throne.

What happened? Val asked.

There is no core or orb, Miles said.

My father said some monsters don't have an orb or core, as they have the primary Mystic Branch. Alex said, It is usually an external object or a part of their body, but not easy to discern.

So this monster had a Mystic Seed? Miles asked as he looked at the monster.

Yeah, that ability wasnt something that logic could explain. Val nodded.

King was right after all. There are mystic creatures in this place. Miles looked outside of the cave in worry. Just a monster almost killed all of them and if it wasn't for Val, they all would be dealt with. It probably let Everyperson go in the first place so he could gather more prey. Miles didn't know what the monster would do with them, as it didn't have a mouth to feed on, but he didn't think they would be spared.

Most probably they all would die. It was scary. What if Val failed to wake herself up? He didn't want to think about the possibility.
