Chapter 77: First Chasm

Lucian took a step back and accidentally collided with the skinny boy again, who just looked back at him in annoyance." Sorry about that. " Lucian said, as he took his knife back and placed it in his pocket, he had to be extremely careful since both the burly men were observing everyone carefully.

" All right, the nine of you can follow us. " The first burly man spoke and then they both turned around and began to walk away.

" Let's go. Sigh I almost got a heart attack earlier, thank god they didn't catch the camera. " Jackie whispered and Lucian just nodded as they all began to follow the two men.

' If the nine of us are going into a Chasm then I am sure they won't allow us to go back to our normal life after this right?

They would either kill us or maybe put us all somewhere away from the society and use us for different things like experiments or labour. Then why did he send those six away? '

Lucian questioned while looking at all the places around.

[ They are very careful even while hiring the porters, they have already got the information about all of you. And the main reason why those were sent back was that it is easier to remove you nine from the society but that was not the case with them. ]

' Oh I see, makes sense but they should've been even more careful, I guess they are getting haughty. '

After walking for a while, they arrived in front of a big hall that seemed to have been built not too long ago unlike the factory and the other houses, they were even taking proper care of it.

The two burly walked inside and the nine of them followed behind, just as they stepped inside, the door closed behind them, Lucian looked around the room, there were already two others who were present there.

They both seemed to be in their twenties and were wearing expensive clothes, they must have some kind of connection with the underworld people, as both of them were being sent inside to awaken.

One of them had very short black hair and goggles over his face, and he was standing completely silent. While the other looked like the heir of some corporation, even the way he was looking at others looked disrespectful.

" So are these all of them? " The rich guy spoke, as he looked at the nine of them, he looked at Lucian for a few seconds because of his appearance but he didn't pay it much attention.

" Yes sir, are you both ready to go in there? " the first burly man spoke.

" Yes. " The silent guy nodded, his face was barely visible Because of the mask he was wearing.

" Of course we are, can't believe you are making us wait for these people. " The rich guy spoke.

" Sorry sir, we needed these guys for the task. " The second burly guy said.

" Sigh anyway, let's go there immediately, I wonder what kind of ability I am going to receive. " The rich guy said, with a wide smile.

" Yes sir. " After nodding the 1st burly man looked towards the nine porters and then ordered: "Pick all these bags, we are leaving. " S~eaʀᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Without asking any questions, they all picked a few bags each, they were all empty, after which then they all stood in a line side by side.

" Follow me. " The two burly men were walking at the front and behind them were the two guys and at the end were nine of the porters.

They first walked passed a door as they walked deeper into the hall and then they finally saw something none of the nine porters were expecting, a large rectangular shape gate was standing there.

It had a height of more than ten feet, its boundary was glowing with bright white light while between the boundary it seemed as if it was filled with water, nothing of the other side was visible.

" Woah, I have only heard about this so far, seeing this in person makes me really excited. " The rich guy spoke, as he looked at the Chasm from all around.

" W- What is that thing? Are they recording a movie or something? This is a setup, right? " Jackie whispered, all nine of them were looking at it in confusion though Lucian was just pretending.

" It's nothing, all of you go through this first. " The 1st burly man spoke, as he pointed towards the Chasm.

The nine men appeared hesitant and just looked at each other, but they knew they had to go through it so after a few seconds they all began to walk towards the strange gate.

One by one, everybody walked through the Chasm and since this was the first time they were feeling something like this, all of them felt a headache and felt as if they were about to vomit.

Only the two burly men and Lucian were not affected by it, but again he had to pretend to feel sick and like others, he fell to his knees and coughed several times.

After a few minutes, all of them began to feel better, the rich guy was having it the worst as he kept vomiting since he had drunk alcohol before coming.

' So this place is... just what is this? ' Lucian finally stood onto his legs and looked around, just one glance and it was obvious that this wasn't the earth they knew.

It was much more hot and the Sun there looked so much larger, which was probably because of the large size or closeness with the planet, but at this temperature, water would easily evaporate and there were not even clouds in the sky.

' I wonder if there is even any water on this planet. And what is up with all those large holes? ' Lucian wondered as he looked around, the colour of the soil was bright red.

[ These were the homes of the creatures that used to live there, though they are all mostly destroyed by now. ]

Lucian narrowed his eyes and looked in the distance, he saw something that looked like a pond but it also didn't look like it was filled with water, the whole area was covered with signs of battle that must have taken place in the past.

" Ughh What is this place? Is this some kind of setup? " Jackie asked and the other porters also looked around in confusion, as they were all suddenly filled with fear.

" Haaaaa Why is it so hot here? I feel like I am going to die already. " The rich guy shouted as he threw his coat and shirt away, while the silent guy just endured it without speaking much.

' But who are these two guys? ' Lucian wondered, glancing at them.

[ They are brothers and the son of someone important in the Underworld, and I'm sure we don't have much time to go into much detail. ]

" Please wear these suits, you won't feel so uncomfortable then. " The 2nd burly man spoke as he took out two white coloured suits that would cover their entire body, only leaving the face visible.

" You should have given this ughh from the beginning, stupid gorilla. " The rich guy shouted.
