Chapter 6 - 5. Mysterious Cave

As we were walking inside I asked her a question "Aren't you afraid of me cause I'm a human like the one who destroyed your village?", "No master, my tribe see things with the color of the aura on a species and I see warm mix colors on you master", I asked "Mix color, what does that mean?", "Oh in our village mix aura means mix breed or hybrid", "That's amazing just by looking you know wether I'm a human or not, Oh wait this may be late but what should I call you?" She replied "master can call me Corrina, that is my name given by my parents,so master what is your name?" I never thought of getting a name well I guess I should just stick to my old name "You can call me Vextre so you don't need to call me master", "Ok master" totally ignoring what I told her, then she asked "Master what is that egg on your back?", "It's the black snake egg" she started to glare at the egg with a nasty look "Can I kill it?" She asked "No I'll raise this snake to be a good snake, so help me on that ok" she sigh then replied "I hope you won't regret this in the future master".

I asked what was the geography of this world she couldn't quite understand so I told her if she knows the map of the world then she answered "Yes the whole Magaras only has one continent with many countries sush as for humans, elves, dark elves, fish kin, dwarves, demon kin, beast kin, dragon kin, and faries. In the forest on the furthest west lives the elves they have 3 kingdoms in total and just up north is a volcanic region where dragon kin lives with 1 big kingdom and 1 king, furthest north is where the dwarves live in super cold land with frost giants they have 1 kingdom and 1 king, on the furthest south is the dark elves village with 2 kingdom but 1 king, above them is the demon kin territory that has 1 kingdom and 1 king it's always gloomy in there but they can cultivate their food just fine, and everywhere else are beast kin and human territory, there is 1 king but 5 kingdoms for humans and 1 king and 1 kingdom for beast kin but there is a desert up northeast here that is territory of beast kin because no one else wants to be there, lastly is fish kin that lives everywhere in the ocean they are mysterious so there is no solid evidence on their territory and existance, that is all master", "Oh okay thanks for the help hehe" this planet is called Magaras and with one continent like Pangea maybe the other side is still unexplored that is why there is just one continent I need to explore this whole world but not as of now

. As we got near at the battle scene of me and the Tocoro I started another conversation "Where was your village and how did you get here?" she replied "Further north on Verdena village, a small village the war from human and beast kin does not settle down, so I run till I can no more see my village and found this cave first it was a perfect shelter sleep in I didn't know that there where other strong creature that lives in here, How about you master where's your village". I thought hard on what to say "You see I was born as a merchant traveling with my parents around the continent, our home was everywhere as long as we had our cart with us", she replied "Then master always sell things and travel a lot?", "Yeah that's how it is but now my parents are gone so I travel by myself" I said as we walk deeper in the cave, it wasn't weird that she could see well in the dark because she is a beast kin called ferfox even if she's in a human form she still has the perception of a beast kin. There was now a hole in the wall that was sealed before it started emitting a miasma, we felt shivers on our spine and started coughing so I quickly made a clone to protect eggy and Corrina, I told them it wasn't safe and to get out of the cave and wait by the entrance. I made a wind respirator to hold off from the stench and put a small light, now I can do chantless magic if it's this small. From the looks of it there was a stairs leading down so I started to descend from the stairs each step of the stairs put pressure on me like lifting 20 pounds of rock "Argh how deep will this be?" Questioning while grinding my teeth. Almost at a 2000 steps it finally bacame a massive room with a ruby like stones that emits fire to light the hallway. As I get furthur away from the stairs I heard something "20,000 years!" I replied "20,000 years? Who's there? Where are you? What are you?" The deep voice answered "I will answer your questions so for now why don't you head further straight down the hallway" As I walked he said that he witnessed the destruction of kingdoms and birth of another as time passes him by, he created this room to seal off the annoying kings that wanted his power but in the end he was trapped by the hero so that he can never see the light of day. I guess you would be a well known criminal or vigilante to be imprisoned by a hero, at the end of the hallway there was a gigantic door that is close I ask what was his crime to be imprisoned by the hero but as I pushed it open he told me his crime "for being a demon lord"...
