Chapter 83 - Darkness

Yunan mind was working overdrive thinking about what was going on with this nest. Even if it was level 2 nest this was too many goblins by any count, there should not be this many, but the reality is that Drogon ate so much he practically grew overnight, from a kitten to an adult cat size, he could now even fly for a few seconds.

About noon the goblin stopped coming through for some reason and Yunan told Drogon to clear out all the corpses they had painstakingly stacked all night long. The valyrian dragon was all too happy to oblige, the corpses and the monster cores inside them were too appealing for Drogon.

Yunan assembled the kids for lunch and ate while Drogon was wolfing down Goblin corpses. When they were done and fully fed and rested they waited for Drogon to finish his meal, before cautiously leaving the room. They found a patrol waiting for them which they dispatched easily, afterwards everyone tried to make as much noise as they could but no more goblins showed up.

Debauchery started cleaning up the nest and taking everything they found. They found the treasuries and armories like in the other nests, they found and killed everyone in the residential section, they were merely the weak and the elderly, there were also a few females there, but not enough to populate such a number of goblins.

Soon they found out why there was no more goblins coming at them, in the boss room behind the throne there was a doorway, and it was guarded by what seemed to be every last goblin in the nest, Dustan counted around 1300 of them all standing guard with ferocious faces and the boss waiting in the middle of the room for the intruders.

Yunan decided to try and pull over some goblins to reduce their numbers but no matter how many he shot by his arrows only the enraged roar of the boss was heard, none left their positions. Therefore Yunan took out his swords with Drogon on his right shoulder he gestured to his squad to stay behind, as he walked to the center of the room the boss rushed at him, a level 3 boss was too much for Yunan but nothing to the newly hatched Drogon.

Yunan relied on his armor and swords to break the first strike and ordered "Incinerate it" followed by a wash of flames engulfing the boss coming out of the little dragons maw, the boss was charred black within a second and fell whimpering, skin splitting with each muscle it moved and its whimpers grew into howls of pain. Yunan quickly planted his sword in the skull of the boss ending it misery.

The rest of the goblins charged at Yunan only to be met with the same fate as the boss, Drogon had found his new favourite flavour of monster meat, bloody on the inside and charred on the outside, and it did not wait for Yunan's order this time but just extended its own neck and spewed enough flames to cover the entire half of the room that the goblins were on.

A second later the flames were gone and nothing but charred corpses remained, the fire was enough to boil the brains while leaving the tender organs still bloody and juicy. Drogon waited for a nod from Yunan before it started eating the food it cooked, while Yunan stepped over the burnt bodies to reach the room behind the throne but was stopped by leader.

"You probably should not see what is in there" the kindly old pope had arrived sometime ago when Yunan was not paying attention, probably summoned by Debauchery, he could never tell when they were casting magic even when he saw them do it. Yunan could feel the magic cast by the nuns and priests whenever they met but never from Debauchery unless they wanted him to feel it during training.

Yunan looked at leader and asked the obvious question " how bad is it?", Leader leaned forward and whispered to his ear "so bad you will kill, you will enjoy the feeling of their life slipping out between your fingers, you will be tainted". The last words made Yunan shudder he looked behind him at his friends coming over and decided "will we see something like this in the future?".

"Not likely, not on this scale, and there is nothing worse than what is inside there, all the darkness in the world is behind that door, and if you see it, there is no turning back, i would strongly suggest that you would not witness this until when you are mature enough to understand it" Leader was not in any shape pushing away Yunan but merely looking out for him, it was his decision whether or not to step behind that door.

The old pope was about to summon his own legion but leader stopped him, "they cleared the nest and they get to decide what to do with it, i brought you here so they know the extent of what they might witness, if they decide to hand it over, it is yours, for now wait for them".

"That is what leader said" Yunan was sitting in a circle with Reina, Leol and Lili. they were discussing what to do about the door and what was behind it. "If that is the case maybe we should pass through and take a look, it it will never get worse than this i prefer to see it now and never feel bad ever again" said Lili.

"I think i know what is behind that door, it will break us, and not even time can heal it, we may grow to be perverse if we see it ourselves, but maybe there is a way to know that can be much easier to handle." Reina was a royalty and the perverse ways of the ruling class were no secret to her, she just never saw it with her own eyes.

"Whatever is behind that door is not much of a secret, the problem is how intense it is, we can already tell what is behind there, but the adults think it much more serious than that, therefore we have two choices, we can let them clean up and see the aftermath of that, or we can barge in now and never know who or what we will be after we step out" added Leol.
