46 A Wisp of spirit consciousness
As they entered deeper into the forest, Ajax heard the sounds of various spirit beasts.
After travelling for some time they finally found an altar which is only three meters in height and fully covered with bizarre patterns on it.
"Let me inspect, what it is??", Lewis whispered to others and cautiously scanned the altar.
" Be careful with it Lewis, We don't have any inkling about it", Paulin warned Lewis.
Nodding his head, Lewis sprinted to the altar and scrutinized it like an adept.
"Stop behaving like a professional, Lewis", Jeff criticized Lewis at his acting.
" Actually, I am a professional when it comes to mysterious runes and markings, Jeff", Lewis proclaimed himself as professional and continued, "If you don't believe me, come and see for yourselves".
Ajax and Paulin giggled at Lewis words and moved towards him dragging Jeff along with them.
On the altar, a small white gemstone is embedded on it.
" What is it, Lewis???", Paulin raised a question about the white gemstone to Lewis.
"ahem", Lewis cleared his throat and started his explanation about it, " I heard from my grandfather that, if a green coloured gemstone is embedded on an altar, then it will heal all your injuries when you touch it".
"Then what about this white coloured gemstone??", Jeff urged Lewis to explain quickly, about it.
" This..this.., I don't know", Lewis mumbled embarrassed.
"What happened to the professional in you then??", Jeff ridiculed Lewis reminding his earlier words.
Lewis's face turned even more red from embarrassment when he heard the ridicule.
" Stop it, Jeff. Let's identify what will happen if we touch it?", Paulin, as an eldest among the group, tried to pacify the situation between them and proposed to touch it.
Before Paulin even moves his hand, Lewis touched the stone without saying anything and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Now only ajax and others saw the Lewis, who was below them, bound to the ground.
Soon they get off of him and assisted him to stand up.
"Sorry Lewis, we didn't saw you earlier", Paulin apologized Lewis.
" No need for that brother Paulin, I am fine. They are just some scratches ", Seeing Paulin apologize to him, Lewis acted in modesty.
" WELCOME YOUNG ONES", a monotonous voice came from one corner of the cave.
"Who", Ajax and others instantly became alert and observed their surroundings.
They saw a small white coloured light ball floating in the air from the corner of the cave in the direction of the sound.
" Who are you??", Lewis asked when he saw the small white coloured light ball.
"I am a wisp of spirit consciousness of the summoner king", the same monotonous voice came from it.
" Ohh...!",
"What?",
Lewis and ajax got stunned to know that this small light ball is the legendary Summoner king's spirit consciousness.
" If you want my inheritance, then enter the tunnels individually and fight for it", the small light ball announced them to enter individually.
"Can't we enter together?", remembering the advice given by Udo and Edmond, Ajax inquired.
" You can't", after saying that, the small light ball faded away.
"What should we do now, brother Paulin", Ajax consulted Paulin.
" Since the legendary summoner king said himself that we can't enter, then it's better to enter separately", Paulin proposed after speculating for a moment.
"Ok then, I will enter this one", Jeff pointed towards a corner passage and entered.
As soon as he entered the tunnel, it is sealed entirely and no one can even imagine there was a tunnel in that place before.
