Chereads / The Caged Beast / Chapter 5 - The Strange Noise

Chapter 5 - The Strange Noise

I started walking towards the tower so that I could reach the Portal where Mr. Stur M. Frei had decided to meet me. I could have reached the Portal just by using my Teleportation Magic, but I want to keep my identity a secret from Mr. Stur M. Frei so I will not use Teleportation magic right now.

As I was walking through the forest, I thought about who the Man/Woman was, who tried to kill me at my house, maybe he was one of them. But since Mr. Stur M. Frei said that I don't have to worry about that man right now, I guess I will stop thinking about it and focus on reaching the Portal.

After walking for a while, I reached the First Tower. This Tower was at least 150 meters tall and you had to reach the top of the tower to cross the tower, but there was no way someone could reach the top of the tower without using Magic.

So, I guess I have to use Teleportation Magic to reach the top of the Tower, I reached the top of the Tower after using Teleportation Magic. I felt that someone was behind me, but there was no one when I turned around to see.

I started walking again, and I could see the Portal, it was not that far now.

"But why is there a second tower if the portal is in between them, is there something on the other side" A thought entered my mind, and then a question, Where is Mr. Stur M. Frei, what's he doing, I have reached the Portal and he is not here?"

I was thinking all this when I heard someone talking, was this sound coming from the second tower.

Someone replied, "No, You're above us."

I said, " Above you, what do you mean, I'm on the ground."

Someone replied, "Hey, Look down, Your foot is on our stem."

"Oh, I'm sorry, and were you talking just now."

The Flowers replied, "Yes, this is an enchanted forest, what did you expect, everyone talks here."

"You can see, right, so a question, Have you seen an old man?"

The Flowers replied, "He is in that Place."

I said, "Huh, which place?"

No Reply.

This time, I could feel a person behind me, I turned around to see, there was a man behind me but I didn't who he was.

I asked, "Who are you?"

He didn't answer my question and said, "What are you doing here, You shouldn't be here, you should leave?"

I replied, " Huh, Why should I leave and who are you to tell me what to do?"

No Reply

He was about to attack me when suddenly Mr. Stur M. Frei appeared and attacked him with the freezing magic trick but this time it didn't work, as the person who was about to attack me could use Fire Magic, he started to melt the ice.

Before he could finish melting the ice and attacking us, Mr. Stur M. Frei used Teleportation Magic and we were out of that place and now we were in a place where I can hear loud noises.

"Is this the place where the Magical Beast lives?" I said.

Mr. Stur M. Frei replied, " Yes, this is the place where the Magical Beast who has the crystal lives, Are you ready to take the first Magical Crystal?"

I said, "Yes."

Mr. Stur M. Frei said, "We don't need to kill the Magical Beast but if he attacks us, we need to use our magic to protect ourselves from the Magical Beast."

I replied, "Ok, but who was the man that attacked us?"

Mr. Stur M. Frei replied, " The Owner of the Third Ancient Magical book, so we need to take the Magical Crystal as fast as we can before he finds out that we are ..."

Before Mr. Stur M. Frei could finish his sentence, a dagger hit his left arm, The owner of the Third Ancient Magical Book was in front of our eyes, he told me to run away from Mr. Stur M. Frei as if he knew what Mr. Stur M. Frei was up to.

I said, "No, why would I follow your command, You are the owner of the Third Ancient Magical Book, so I need to touch your book in order to find the Third Magical Crystal, Mr. Stur M. Frei is injured, why would you hit him with a dagger?"

"This Dagger is not enough to stop me," said Mr. Stur M. Frei.

But this will be enough to stop you,

" ANCIENT MAGIC-

STONE GUARDIANS "

Seven Stone Guardians appeared right in front of us.

"I know, this will not be enough to kill you, but they will definitely stop you, Lucian, Let's go." Mr. Stur M. Frei said.

We reached the place from where the loud noises were coming from.

The noise was coming from a small cave, There was a small Magical Beast, and a Large Magical Beast both having crystals on their heads. These Magical Beasts were Nifflers. The small one was running very fast and the Large one was jumping very fast, it was nearly impossible to touch the Magical crystals.

But, Nifflers have weaknesses and that is also their strength i.e. they are attracted to shiny things and I guess Mr. Stur M. Frei knew how to tackle this situation.

" You know, Lucian, Nifflers love shiny things, thus they are perfect for protecting the Crystal but I was prepared for this, as I HAVE VISITED THIS PLACE BEFORE, but I was not able to touch the Magical Crystal because only you have the power to do so."

I replied, " So what should I do, you have to do nothing, Nifflers will give the Crystal to us themselves as the only thing which is more important to them than this Magical Crystals is the shine of these crystals, I will use my Freezing magical spell on both of them and you need to exchange those Magical Crystals with these Simple Crystals."

Mr. Stur M. Frei used Freezing Spell but this time the power was less as compared to when he used this spell for the first time, the freezing spell will work on them for Five Seconds.

"EXCHANGE THE MAGICAL CRYSTALS IN THOSE FIVE SECONDS"

I said, "Yeah, I will, and exchanged the crystals just in the nick of time."

I felt a surge of power when I touched the Magical Crystal, the Magical Crystal on the Large Niffler was a Fake Crystal but the power and the pain that I felt after touching the Magical Crystal was unimaginable, I thought I will die from the pain but it ended.

Mr. Stur M. Frei said, " Put the Crystal in my Ancient Magical Book."

But to my surprise, there was no crystal in my hand, it had disappeared.

Mr. Stur M. Frei was furious, How, how is this possible, what did you do and used his "Freezing Magical Spell" on me.

The Freezing Spell started freezing me from my toe and Mr. Stur M. Frei was about to use his "Turn to Dust Magical Spell" on me.

A question entered my mind !!

"WILL I DIE HERE"
