"Fine... Then don't blame me with what would happen next." Mickaila smiled menacingly.
With his eyes shining ablaze and his sword transforming from the usual reddish colour to a pure blue colour. The flame roared in a menacing tone as if a dragon had awakened from its slumber.
With such power enraged from the sword within Mickaila's hands, it destroyed anything that came close towards them. And for those unlucky group of dark bloody eyed bats, they instantaneously fell one after another, burning into ashes which dissipated into the air surrounding them.
And as for the bats who ran away with their tails between their legs, well let's just say they won't have a happy and fulfilling ending as they hoped they would 😁
With the flames bursting out in an uncontrolled manner, the light of the flame enveloped the whole tunnel and engulfed all the bats who were about to run away. And with a blink of an eye, any enemies within Mickaila's sight have all disappeared with only him left in the solitude tunnel.
But this time, the tunnel seems to be warmer and cleaner as if it has been purified (by his flames 😂).
Congratulations you have defeated the colony of shadow poison bats (3)|
Detox is now complete, you are now at full health|
"Huh, now let's see who dares to block my way!" he smirked as he kept walking forward, expecting to get out of this tunnel as soon as possible.
As Mickaila strides forward, trying to find an exit to this never-ending dark tunnel, at every turn he takes he comes to a dead end.
[This place is just like a maze or something!] He said tirelessly.
And just then an idea popped up in Mickaila's mind, "well, if I can't find the way out then I'll make one!" He smiled evilly with his wonderful plan in mind.
Bringing out a large metal axe with a strong jawline which can easily be used to cut down tree trunks. The axe was quite heavy but it wasn't to the point that Mickaila had difficulty in swinging it and making a large impact on the tunnel walls.
Despite knowing there is a risk that the tunnel may collapse on top of him however with all the commotion happening with battling different enemies along the way, not even any damage was seen on the walls to illustrate it to be disintegrating or a sign of collapse meaning there is only 2 explanations.
1) the tunnel like maze is just an illusion with the use of dark magic making it seem like Mickaila was in a never ending path or
2) the tunnel is not actually underground.
And from the looks of it, both of them may have been true so overall Mickaila is making a bet with his life. And if everything doesn't go as he plans then the outcome would be death.
With a deep thrust, the axe was swung and within seconds of making contact with the wall, the whole place started to vibrate but it wasn't to the point that it seemed to be collapsing. And with this, it concluded Mickaila's theory. He wasn't truly underground. And seeing how this is an alternate world to him, the appearance of everything would be presented differently to what he may have been used to or perceived it to be.
Now knowing that the whole place wouldn't collapse on him, he swung the axe once again, thrust after thrust until the whole place started to change.
The whole place swirled as if it was an illusion, it was as if there were two places integrated into each other. There was the original tunnel he was stuck in and the large vine room he was previously in. Both were swirling around and as if the spell has been broken, the sound of shattering glass were heard, Mickaila shut his eyes to brace the impact and by the time he reopens them, he was revealed back into the museum like room from when he first arrived into this alternate realm through the portal. But this time there weren't any statues or historical artefacts. However the same double poison ivy door was still there but this time it was larger.
Mickaila who was once again being faced with the yet so familiar room began to search around the whole place for any clues of who played such a lousy prank on him, getting him stuck in the tunnel for hours on end without any routes of escape if it wasn't because of his clever thinking.
Knowing for certain that it was someone or something who caused such a strong hallutionary trap, Mickaila wants to find out who was behind all this.
Despite liking the skill, he just didn't like how it was aimed at him (well I mean who would 😂).
Glazing his eyes with his heightened perception, he focused on his surroundings, sensing the movements from small and harmless creatures to those of objects until he landed on his prey.
Opening his eyes widely, a glint of a smile came upon his face before he faced the large ivy door, taking a few steps forward as he approached. And just a few inches away, he glared up at the top of the door, "since I've found you, there is no need for you to hide anymore." He shouted out loudly just enough for the hidden prey to reveal itself before him.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't one of the night walkers again!" Mickaila scoffed.
But what was evident was that this time, the night walker was at a higher level and a totally different boundary to the last one he fought.
And without further ado, Mickaila made his first move (wow, I guess our MC is really fed up with being trapped in the illusion for too long 😂).
Having the night walker floating about the place was quite a hassle for Mickaila to reach since he couldn't fly however his new found skill was quite useful in this situation.
"Don't think that you'll get away with what you've done that easily!" Mickaila exclaimed.
Skill: sky-step...
Status: activated|
Within a split second, the night shadow who believed that he had gotten away from Mickaila's grasp was suddenly stopped within his steps when Mickaila suddenly appeared Infront of him.
Just as it was about to turn around and go the opposite way, Mickaila grabbed onto it's shoulder and with an eerily glare, stared behind the night walker, "where do you think you're going?"
And with that, Mickaila made his move. Within a swift second, the night walker was hit to a pulp and easily defeated, "Tsk... Who knew you were that easily beat. Now you know you should never play such a lousy prank on me." Mickaila scoffed.
However, this wasn't the end of it.
Just as Mickaila dusted himself, he realised that something was wrong.
Seeing how no notification has appeared before him and the fact that the monster was easily beaten without hassle made it look suspicious.
With all the monsters he's fought within the alternate realm, there was never one that was this easy. And this was something that Mickaila wondered.
And just as expected...
