Kome became really angry inside, angry at the prince and more angry at himself for being so weak and helpless. he swore to deal with the prince if he could survive this.
He took a deep breath and started walking slowly towards the cave. The cave was very small and had a small wooden door.-- the door looked old and weak as if it will turn to dust anytime soon but all the warriors here have been trying to break the door using their most powerful martial techniques and weapons but couldn't even leave a mark on it.
He inserted the key into the lock on the door, ---- klack-klack!!!" the key disappeared into the lock, few seconds later the door opened and he slowly walked inside. Poh"""" the door locked itself again immediately he got inside. Kome became really scared, he tried opening the door but could not, no matter how hard he tried, he had no choice but to give up reluctantly.
He turned around and saw a something he would never forget in his lifetime.. he saw five skeletons on the floor, 3 are humans and two didn't look like human but he couldn't figure out what they are. The wierd thing is that there was blood, fresh blood on the floor as if they just died. how can skeletons bring out blood? Above the skeletons a small wooden box could be seen floating silently. ------------------------------ Kome became really scared, no matter how calm and collected he use to be, the truth is that he's just a ten year old child and this sight can scare the hell out of an adult.
"I must walk through this blood and skeleton to get this box he thought to himself trying to man up!
He prepared to jump and catch the box, he had no choice after-all, the prince would have him killed if he return empty handed.
He jumped with all his might but couldn't reach the box, he ended up falling inside the blood. suddenly he started sinking,
Shit!! i am in trouble!!!
The blood which looked small before suddenly turned into a pool. it went through all the ducts on his body, straight inside him and he couldn't make it stop, he tried getting out of the pool up to no avail. While he was struggling he noticed something that made him relax a little. Although his body was absorbing the blood, it wasn't painful. he then calmed down and reluctantly watch his body absorb the blood. -------------------------
After some minutes there wasn't any blood on the floor even the skeletons turned to powder after the blood went into kome's body. Katcha! The box that has been floating for years fell down.
Kome sighed in relief, it seems i won't be dieing today he said to himself "
He took the box and went back towards the door, as if the door knew his thought, it opened automatically letting him out without any problem.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone stood up immediately, the whole place became quiet instantly.
"So quick!" the princess muttered and the prince had a frown on his face.
Andrew too was surprised ---- Kome's robe was soaked with blood as if he is bleeding all over his body but he's walking fine, he should have fainted or died if he was really bleeding after all he is not a cultivator. "What happened to you"? Andrew asked
Kome frowned and said " i fell inside a pool of blood" --- he then turn to the prince who seems not to care about his condition,, "here is the box", he gave the box to the prince - "can i go now"? he asked!
The prince received the box, studied it for a while before returning the box to Kome. he brought another key out.
"here! open the box, bring out what's inside and you can go.
Kome was really angry but tried to calm down, he took the key from the prince and inserted it inside the lock "Katcha!!
the box opened. he raised it up with his hand. Shhuuuu!!!!!!!!! immediately he raised it, something flew out, so fast that ordinary cultivators couldn't detect it --- only commander Felix noticed it. it flew directly into Kome's head, he didn't even have time to scream, falling instantly and his heart stopped beating.
