Chapter 4 - Chapter 4 (temples)

The cone of dirt flew through the air. It break the wind and produce a wisp of sound. Then it hit the wall of the grotto and make a small hole. Grid was a bit surprised but satisfied with the power. Although he can only control a small stone for now, but it was enough to be useful in a combat. He flung a few more of the cone shaped dirt try it out. After a couple of attack suddenly he drop on the floor unwillingly. His body was fill with sweat again. Turn out using eoms was very tiring. Most of muscles aches. And grid fall a sleep there.

It is unclear how long grid fell asleep. He wakes up feeling extremely hungry. As someone who prone to live like a beggar he is well verse in hunger but it was never this much. He than quickly catch a dozen more fish to eat. After feeling satisfied with the raw fish, he think of leaving and looking another way out of the grotto. While looking he notices one of the cone shaped dirt he fire randomly earlier has gone through 1 paticular wall. It seem that paticular wall is hollow inside. Out of curiosity what was behind that wall grid punch the wall. The wall crumble down and to grid disbelief there is a marble stair and tiki torch guiding all the way up. Grid dare him self to go up the stair. Grid already go through a few hundred step of the stair until he found himself in an oval passageway kinda like a tunnel. At the end of the passageway there is a light. Maybe that is the way out of this cave think grid. He walk slowly and carefully untill arrive at the the of the tunnel and gasp.

Grid is at the end if the tunnel and there is a big cavern a small lake occupied most of the cavern and un the middle of the lake there is a structure like temples. With a big dome in between a twin tower it was majestic. There is a writing at the entrance of the temple that wrote tranquility. At the top center of the cavern there is a mass of crystal stuck on the ceiling shining in blue light. The blue light was so bright that it bath the whole cavern breaking the darknest. There is a stone step leading to the entrance of the temple.the step seem to be floating on the lake water yet it doesnt appear to be moving. It was dead silence, it was beautiful.

Grid carefully going the step one by one. Upon arriving at the entrance he noticed the tample was quite old. There is sign of destruction here and there. There a stone plank that already break at the floor. There is a writing on the plank but its hard to read since it is broken. Grid read it "bre..eds wea...kness" grid approch the temple door. The door is full of strange carving. He push open the door and he sees a path with a carpet in between large pillar going to the centre of the temple. In the center there is a pedistal and strange sword sitting on the pedistal. "Treasures? " think grid. Grid slowly aprroch the pedistal and looking around to see if there is any danger lurks within.

Grid reach out his hand to grab the sword. The sword seem vey beautiful but with sinister aura. It was a black sword that is rare to this world. It has a thin point with an unknown writing on the blade. The guard seem to be the shape of a bat wings and the pommel is in the shape of a skull. The scabbard beside the sword was also in black. The chape and the locket seem to be made of a black ore with a red lining. Together they show a evil aura. As soon as grid grab iy he feel it was light on his hand. He seem very comfortable with the sword as if it was a part if his hand. Grid sees a lot of eoms in the sword. A lot as in pack untill there is no more space in between. As grid was about to try to control the eoms in his sword, an earthquakes happen. The whole temple shake as if it was about to go down. Grid get scred and lost his balance. He need to quickly get out of here. He run as fas as he could to the door but stop when he when out side. This is because he see the crystal that was shine majasticly blue was already turn to bright blood red. The lake began to make bubbles all over the place like it was boiling. Under all the bubbles suddenly he see a silhouettes of a person. Grid was shock when the silhouettes come broke the water tension theres appeared a skeleton. One by one skeleton appeared. It was in the thousand. The skeleton look horrible as if it was disfigured. Then a ding sound came from grud head. It was poo. He inform grid that the skeleton is possess by an evil spirit. His first mission is to kill all the skeleton. Upon completion be will gain deed point. Poo accept no failures.

Out of panic grid fire his cone shape earth skill toward the skeleton. It hit the rib and broke it and go straight to the spine. The skeleton broke in 2. But surprisingly the body of the skeleton. Climb back an attached it self to is leg. The broken rib and spine mend on their own. Grid bewildered. It was a first time he see that. How can he fight with a monster that can revive. In a dazed one of the skeleton managed to approch grid and when for the attack but grid was mange to evade and swing the sword in his hand in reflex. The sword cut the skeleton in two. After that the skeleton broke down and not moving anymore. Grid finally found a chance to fight back. It seem the skeleton can only be kill by the sword. So, in confidence grid go toward the tample entrance door and decide to make a stand there. This is because it was on a higher ground and there is only 1 entrance so the skeleton cannot surrond him. He close one of the temple door and left 1 open. He take the broken sign on the ground and place it on the only open door to form a blockage. Then one by one skeleton rushing in.grid hack and slash all the incoming skeleton after a while there is a pile of bone behind the blockage and form same sort of a ladder that make it easy for other skeletons to go through the blockage. With a large amount invomng grid was overwhelmed.he was push back to the inside of the tample. The blockage has broke down. Dozen of skeletons cone rushing in. Grid became to have cuts everywhere. Blood is all over his body. After a few minutes fight, grid found himself already surround by the skeletons. His hand is going numb but he still continues to hack and slash the incoming skeletons. Luckily he has a lot of strength so he can pierces multiple enemies with one swing. Grid became more accustomed to detacting incoming attack and how best to evade or defend it. He bacame more experience. The piles of bone began to build up to make a small hill. Grid was on top of it still hacking and slashing. He choose to be on top because it is hard to move to get to the top since the bones is not stable. After 5hours it finally done. All the skeleton is killed. The temple is fill with bones. Grid pierce his sword inside the oile of bones to make a place he can lean on to. He was gasping for breath. Blood and sweat were everywhere. Although he was fighting with a hurm arm. He manage to win. Hs first win. He feel proud and tired ans suddenly losing consciousness. The light outside already returned to majesticly blue. For a moment is was pure silences. It was bliss.
