The three of them went deeper into the labyrinth's walls searching for the deepest floor "Lorana-san! Is there a faster way to go down this place?"
Lorana looked around "I'm afraid not, young mistress"
We three continued walking down the spiraling hallway "Say Reinn-kun, how did you get into this place?"
I rubbed the back of my head acting dumb "Uhh, I was just exploring the woods and found this place"
Lorana didn't buy that "You mean to tell me you've wandered this deep and beat The Lich and had a conversation with The Overseer?"
I nodded "I displayed my skills well at the last boss, am I correct?"
Lorana then sighed "I guess it's true, don't you have a master with you Reinn?"
I shook my head "Like I said, I just wandered in here"
Akina smiled "SO WHAT COUNTRY DID YOU COME FROM?!"
I shrugged "I'm a pretty sheltered kid, so I'm not really accustomed to the norms and places"
Lorana's eyes narrowed at me "Hmm, interesting"
we continued walking down the spiraling stairs
and the pressure is becoming more intense physically "Reinn, don't you feel like you're being pulled down?" Akina asked in a questioning tone
I shook my head "I have no one pulling me down"
she laughed "No silly, I mean physically!!! Like right here right now!"
I glanced at them, and they seemed to be moving a bit slower. It does feel like I'm moving in a pool, but for them to be affected this intensely "You two okay?"
Lorana smiled at me "Yes yes, we're fine"
we continued walking down and the feeling of being under a pool felt like I was being wrapped in chains
Lorana and Akina walking while grabbing onto the walls since for them this much pressure is too intense "Are you two really okay?"
Akina nodded
we saw the black gate at the bottom of the stairwell and the pressure that was over us suddenly disappeared
"How are you not affected by that pressure, Reinn-kun?" Lorana asked with her eyes seemingly staring daggers at me even though they were closed
"Maybe I was just lucky, I did feel it a bit tho…"
Lorana then turned away and continued walking behind Akina
"Oy! Reinn! Let's open this gate together shall we?!" she said with a wide smile on her face
my expression softened "Sure" it feels weird. Why am I banding up with them?, when did I even agree to be a part of their duo?
We opened the gate and a room with a seemingly endless pit and floating rock islands are all over the place
the three of use entered the hall and hopped onto a floating island.
The islands slightly shook altogether and the light source on the ceiling turned into a dark blue hue from its previous sun like radiance.
the walls became like an illusion, reflecting what was in the center of the hall.
A few floating islands crumbled into dust and the debris fell into the seemingly endless pit
it took several minutes before we could hear a faint thud…. It'll be impossible to live from that fall
after that thud the ceiling lit up in a reddish glow
an eye with no pupils appeared, a giant cube appeared seemingly made out of a black gemstone and at the inner core of the cube is a red glow with a strike in the middle looking like a snake's eye.
The cube floated and countless other smaller cubes appeared behind it and started circling all over the larger one *Shriek* the cube let out a distinguishable shriek I don't even know how that was possible but it is.
When I turned to the other two they were already battle ready, Lorana sent her fireballs at the cube and Akina seemingly flew from the side of the island to another island, then she attempted to strike the cube.
*Shriek* the cube let out another loud shriek and it blew Akina away. I can't use my shadow magic since they'll find out that I'm vampire…
I hopped from island to island and made a bow made out of hardened fire element, similar to how I make the shadow bow, "Puru!" Puru appeared behind me and created flaming arrows for me
Akina preparing to do another attack
while I'm running towards it's back, I saw Lorana creat a small white sphere over her palm
its magical concentration is too great, it's way too powerful and I cannot read the pattern of the attack since I can't use my other skills or they'll find me out
Akina didn't make the cut but she hopped on one of the mini cubes and into a farther island away from Lorana's upcoming attack. I cannot dodge since I'm already set at its back. I pulled the bow string and imbedded the flaming arrow with my mana.
but the arrow being of vampire flame origin, the color bursts in black flames and the shadows around the hall got sucked into the arrow, and the flaming bow became a black onyx looking bow that exudes a black scentless ominous smoke
the room looking like a flat colored canvas without shadows.
Lorana shot her beam of light at the cube, a large beam of light appeared but the disorienting shadowless room made the light seem like a ripped fabric in space
Yggdris also shot out the arrow and all the shadow that were condensed within exploded in all directions the moment he let go of the bow's string
Ygg's shadow and Lorana's beam of light collided at the cube monster.
Lorana fainted to the ground from exhausting her own mana to its limit
"That boy…" she passed out before even being able to finish her sentence.
Ygg jumped over to their island "Akina, what happened?!"
Akina casting healing magic on Lorana "She's just exhausted, Thanks for helping her beat that cube monster!" she smiled at me
I smiled back "No problem!"
the floor we were standing on crumbled into dust and we fell into the bottomless pit that we were afraid to fall into.
But the more we fall down the more distinct the sound of the waterfall became
It was dark the whole time we were falling
Akina looking around for something to grab onto but there was nothing, the walls are smoothly polished and had a gleam that was similar to a pearl's
the smell of the salt water became more distinct the closer we got to the bottom
Akina grabbed the passed out Lora and they both dove into the water
I too dove into the water and found out that the depths of that water is deeper than what we have fallen to. Akina used her Ice magic to create a mini land mass for us to stand on. ut "How did the islands that crumbled thud onto something hard if it's all water?"
I looked at her dead in the eye and she has the same exact shocked face
then at that moment, the water started sending waves, it was getting stronger as the seconds pass by.
not even a few minutes passed, a pair of blue gleaming eyes emerged from the water, it had a huge silhouette of a serpentine's body
I screamed out "Puru!" Puru appeared and illuminated the place, but the hall was too huge to lit up, but we saw the beast's features. On its neck down to its chest area there are countless of Humanoid looking faces moving and throbbing all over. Its scales are greyish, the beast's colors are so muted that its scales doesn't even reflect light
its eyes is the only thing that was kept in perfect condition, it was a deep oceanic blue, its like sucking me into the depths of the oceans but *Clap!* "SNAP OUT OF IT REINN!"
Akina looked at me with a worried expression, I was dragged back into reality and the serpentine beast stood tall far away from us, it's larger than a castle in proportions and size and the faces on it's neck are proportionate to an average human
the beast let out a roar and a thunder storm brew above us.
the thunder rumbling and lightning striking everywhere not too far from us, Akina summoned her sword
I summoned my flame sword and together we readied to our battle stance.
the serpent swam towards us in astonishing speed. Akina and I used ice magic to strengthen the ice footing, but it got torn apart.
the three of us got blown into the air, Lorana awoken from her sleep immediately grabbed me and Akina mid air while she dove faster to the water while preparing for her landing. The moment she stepped on it the water turned into a solid land mass.
a black hard stone, it was no doubt obsidian
the three of us preparing for its next attack
the serpent raised its head high and a black sphere appeared floating above its nose.
The water surrounding the serpent then got dragged into the sphere in a spiraling pattern, the water that was being absorbed gave off a faint glow, the sphere of water ever expanding in size
but Lorana was not taking any of her chances, she summoned her glowing white beam again "Lorana-san, no!" Akine pleaded for her to stop
Lorana glanced at me with a stern face, before turning her attention back to the serpent "Reinn, assist me will you."
I nodded and summoned my flame bow, Akina then summoned her own flame bow that had more intricate details than mine but looks smaller
she used her light magic to use as arrows
the three of us attacked,
but the overwhelming size of the serpent didn't even left a visible scratch
the serpent turned its look at us "Are you three comparing me to the disposable trash that you fought before?"
Lorana stood tall "That's because you are"
the beast's voice was like a combined voice of a thousand suffering people, it laughed "Then you shall die here immediately…"
Lorana summoned a large red barrier around us with the last drip of mana she had left "Young Mistress, if you manage to survive… please tell the King to spare my family…"
she looked at Akina with a worried face, Akina nodded and stood behind Lorana
the water sphere was finished accumulating water
a red lightning struck on it, it glowed an orangish hue
the serpent then turned its head towards the three and the sphere followed. The sphere charged at the three in great speed
Akina and Lorana closed their eyes preparing for the worse
Yggdris stood in front of them and used his shadow magic to its fullest extent. The darkness from below the depths emerging to the surface and onto the sphere that was launched at them,
Yggdris looked at it with full determination that he'll be able to stop it.
But the sphere was charged with lightning and it nullified Yggdris' shadows
Yggdris then bombarded it with fire but its mass was too great.
Yggdris sighed and couldn't help but feel defeated
he stood behind Lorana and joined the two.
Until, a ripple was heard from behind the destruction, Ygg opened his eyes and looked back, a red hair and red gleaming eyes walked in front of the landmass they were walking on. The red hair slowly faded into brown, as well as the eyes to blue.
He flicked his finger and the water's spherical form got distorted into a rippling form
until it popped and joined again with the water below it.
"Za-"
he turned his look at me with a blank expression. He glanced back into the monster and flicked his finger
the beast suddenly turned into dust
and it's giant Magical stone fell into the water
Zal then dove into the sea and fetched for it
Lorana looked around "W-who was that?"
Akina opened her eyes and looked around
the storm disappeared and the seas calmed down
"My master's here" Yggdris said with his eyes wide staring at the sea
