Chapter 46 - FORTY FIVE

This is one the trickiest and scariest part when entering a gateway dungeon made by the Darkness Fragment, the total darkness, a darkness that can't make you see anything if you don't have equip with you holy light, holy fire or have the true eyes.

"I can't see anything, guys are you there? Elliot? I am getting scared"-Ersie.

"We are here Ersie, right beside you"-Elliot.

"This is what is scary inside the gateway gates made by the darkness fragment, it's total darkness, you can call out the crows, one of the crows have holy light"-Demetri.

"Ah okay"-Ersie.

Ersie and Elliot calls for the crows and order the one with the holy light to create multiple floating holy light. I also created multiple Holy Light to help.

"Demetri? will holy fire works inside this place?"-Evienne.

"Yes, it will work too"-Demetri.

"Okay, then it's better that I turn back to my original form, my fire is compose of holy light"-Evienne.

"I didn't know that, are there other things I need to know and discover about you Evienne, as always, you are amazing"-Demetri.

"Thank you, Demetri"

Just like what Evienne said, she return to her original form and the holy fire surrounding her whole, it spread more light across the gateway dungeon more than the holy light I and the crows made.

"Only anything holy or holy items blessed by holy priest will work inside this place and can be use to defeat anything inside the gateway dungeon"-Demetri.

"So you are telling us, that our equipment will not work here? will it even work?"-Jack.

"It will work, but it will not as well as the weapons and armors blessed by holy priest but it seems that holy priest don't exist anymore, to be one, one must be blessed by a higher being"-Demetri.

"Can the weapons and armors be directly blessed by a higher being"-Evienne.

"Yes, it will be more divine than the weapons blessed by just the holy priest"-Demetri.

"Then, if that's how it is, I can blessed the weapons and armors now"-Evienne.

"Oh yeah. now that you mention it, you are right, you can blessed the weapons and armors considering that you are a goddess"-Demetri.

We bring all our weapon and armor to Evienne and she blessed it all but when it's time for my staff to be blessed she stopped and looked at me.

"Did you crafted your staff yourself Demetri?"-Evienne.

"Yes I did, why is there something wrong?"-Demetri.

"Can't you feel it? your staff has already been blessed, and it's more blessed than any of the weapons and armor that I have been blessed just now"-Evienne

"I don't know what to say Evienne, how can it be blessed when I haven't made anyone blessed it"-Demetri.

"I, too, don't know what to say Demetri, but all I can say to you that it is already been blessed"-Evienne.

"We can figure it out later together, but first we need to defeat this gateway dungeon"-Demetri.

After the blessing, they wear their gears and prepare for any attack that might happen. A few minutes pass and still no enemy on site, I can't even feel any presence at all that can even help to identify what we are about to deal with.

"Daya!"-Demetri.

"Yeah?"-Daya.

"Can you feel anything?"-Demetri

"No, I don't feel anything out all, it's like we are in an empty room, do you remember anything we face before that can conceal it presence as scary as this?"-Daya.

That make me think and only one minion of the darkness fragment comes in mind, the Crawlers.

"Everyone, form a circle around Evienne, we need eye all around us!"-Demetri.

I shouted at everyone, and do just what I said. I also put a barrier around us to help in any attack that might happen.

"Looks like you figure out what we were against with, so what is it?"-Daya.

"Crawlers"-Demetri.

"Those nasty looking creatures? So that's why we can't feel any presence at all, I hate those things. they were so scary"-Daya.

"What are Crawlers?"-Elliot.

"It's this darkness fragment minion that has this many faces in its head, many arms, its feet gets twisted and it crawls all around that's why we call it crawlers, its very scary and creepy looking, it's screeching screams fill the room and it conceal it's presence so good that's why we can't feel anything at all"-Daya.

"Wait, I see something coming, on our left, something's jumping out of the darkness"-Ersie.

Just like what Ersie said, a crawler jumps towards us but with the help of the barrier it bounce back but detroying the barrier completely because it's not holy.

"That's right, seers can see their movements, we got a great chance to attack all the crawlers in their precise location not just with a hunch"-Demetri.

"Another one, on the back"-Elliot.

Elliot shouted and just like he said another one, comes at us from the back, going for the direction of Chairman. 

"Chop of its head with that hugs Axe of yours old man, it's the only way to kill it"-Daya.

"I am not that old, to be called an old man yet"-Chairman David.

Chairman David shouted and chop off the Crawlers head with one slice, I have never seen Chairman David fight, he is strong.

"I am starting to like you old man, you are strong, want to spar sometimes, I can also teach you a thing or two, I can sense that you receive my blessings"-Daya.

"If you want too and if there's time, why not"-Chairman David.

I got face to face with a Crawler when it landed on top of me, I was so caught of guard, that I fall on the ground. Seeing it again this close, it really is scary and creepy just like Daya said. The screaming faces showing pain, lost and suffering and the sound it makes, makes your skin crawl.

The Crawlers comes at us one by one at first, until a crowd of them come at us at a time. It makes harder for the seer to point out to us there exact location, even with the help of my true eyes we can't keep up. To kill a huge quantity at once, Daya and Kalesi, transform to their original form.

Everyone is getting tired and bleeding because of the attacks, the miracle potion does not work well with the wounds inflicted by the crawlers. If only we can share what we see. Ah! right, I need to do it right now.

"Guys, cover for me, Evienne, and you Ersie, I need you"-Demetri.

"Why? what are you going to do?"-Daya.

"I'll be doing a soul transfer right here. right now for Kaya"-Demetri.
