Chapter 9 - The secret room

Jason woke up the middle of the night unable to sleep. " I wish I never left Narla's room " Jason thought. She would probably be asking him questions by now. He stepped out of his bed and stretched the curtains out. It was still night time and the moon made it a beautiful sight. From his room, he saw some people walking down the road and a boy with a luggage. The street that usually bustled with activities of all kinds was dead silent in the night. So peaceful.

He stepped out of the room and incidentally, Narla's room was opened. He peeked inside for a moment expecting her to be awake but she was sleeping. He sighed disappointedly and closed the door. Having nothing else to do, he got a lamp and began to make his way to the library. He missed his way a few times but finally located the library. The library's door was shut as he expected, but why he didn't expect was for it to be locked.

" Damn! why is it locked " Jason said out loud. He paced around the corridor and noticed something strange. The door was located in the middle of the end of the of the corridor. The two walls located besides the door at the end of the corridor were somewhat un- identical. Jason ran to the first wall and looked at it closely and when went to the next. The first was normal while the second had thick lines at the edge of some of it's bricks ( the walls were made of just brown bricks ).

Jason with the knowledge of this pushed the first brick that had thick lines across it's sides and the brick sunk in. He did the same to another and it sunk into the wall too. He did this to all the bricks with thick side lines and they all sunk in. Soft rumbling was now heard from the wall. The brick wall now made up of the the few remaining bricks rotated inward and a door faced Jason.

" Wow ". He approached the door. The door had six locks and no knob. " Do I need keys to open the door " Jason thought. He shook the locks and letters appeared in them. " Wait " Jason noticed something that exact moment. He stopped the moving locks and read the letters C, C, D, C, D, C. He swung the first lock sideways like in a pendulum movement. The letter changed from D to E. He did it again and the letter changed to F. " That's it. With every one swing, one alphabet appears and when the correct alphabets are on all the locks, the door opens.

" But what is the passcode?. If this place is here in this house, it means it is owned by Davis because Narla doesn't know of this place. If she did, this would have been the first place she would show me. So what would be the passcode? "

" Narla! " he tried, but it was only enough alphabets for five of the locks. He tried Melissa, but it was seven. " If this room is for Davis, he sure was wise but to use something noticeable ". He tried scouts, didn't work. Davis, Hopkins, History, Strength but none fitted the locks perfectly. " What now? I can't go back" he thought. He sat down for a while to think, several thoughts passing through his head until "... one thing you should know, I take Judais as my everything because he takes initiative " Davis's voice sounded in his head.

He bolted towards the locks and put in Judais but it didn't work. " Now what? I thought that was it ". His mind began to work very fast on possible passcodes. He walked back to the locks and made one last attempt-- JeAmus without the hypen.

A click sound was heard. The locks swiftly disappeared and a door knob appeared in the door. Jason couldn't believe his eyes. Finally he could enter this mystery room. " Interesting ".

He took the door knob and opened the door. The room was pitch black. " What the... ". He took a complete step in with is other foot and the door closed behind him. He felt like he had entered another world. The air was freely flowing unhindered and even causing neither cold nor heat. He felt calm in the room. The room felt reminiscent of the library but not only that. To say in the comprehensively, everything needs for one to fully develop ones power was here even the ones that Jason didn't know.

" Wow " Jason was excited. He took a step and another and then broke into a run admiring the place. He threw a punch towards the punching bag he saw and regretted it. Nevertheless, that did nothing to restrict the ecstasy he felt at that moment. Even his broken arm seemed like a joke. It was too large to take in one sight alone. Suddenly, he felt an overwhelming presence in the room, something that made his knees buckle.

" Something is not right " Jason muttered. He had never felt like this before, this fear. He had never felt it before. Instinct kicked in, and he bolted towards the door but the door was nowhere to be seen.

His heart began to race and he felt panic. He could feel the person who had that presence coming. He ran frantically into a room he was able to locate and closed the door. He could no longer feel the presence again. It was shut off from him. He heaved a sigh of relief and began to get sleepy. He walked further into the room and at the extreme end, he saw a long bowl. He advanced towards it and took a good look at it. The bowl was made of solid glowing material he had never seen before.

" Is this room really for Davis? " Jason asked himself. He looked at the contents of the bowl and saw a greenish blue water. " What's this? " He thought he saw something move in the fluid. He bent down to take a closer look at the fluid.

" Arghhhh!!! " he shouted as his face was stretched and his body elongated. It seemed like he was being transported through a medium that was tearing his body apart. When he felt like the discomfort had stopped he opened his eyes. He was in a rock uninjured. " Argh, what the hell " Jason shouted. He had just fallen from that room into a rock that pierced him, passes through him and he was uninjured. Then it occurred to him he was in the liquid.

" Holy shit, impossible. Where am I? " Jason shrieked. " Wait a minute " awareness suddenly dawned on mind " The valley of Dakota!! "

" I am Je-Amus, a fallen God " a loud voice boomed like thunder from above. Jason looked us to view Judais, Je-Amus and the six of the thirteen. He suddenly looked at his feet, and apart from the rock he was standing on, around him was hit larva " Jesus " he screamed.

" You mortal ascended god are nothing in comparison to me. The power I hold, you cannot hope to achieve " Je-Amus roared.

Jason needed to see their fight up close and then willed himself to fly to the skies. Surprisingly, he took off to the skies close to Je-Amus. Je-Amus looked even more scary and bigger than he had imagined. His wings clapped into Jason, but phased through Jason like he wasn't there.

In a span of half a milli second which Jason could not see, Je-Amus reached Judais and punched air out of his lungs. This punch launched Judais down through rocks. Je-Amus dived down his wings making a whirring sound, and head butted Judais through the rocks into the burning larva. Jason followed suit.

Series of bangs was heard from underneath the larva. Multiple earth shattering punches landed on Judais's body causing a tidal wave of Larva. The valley trembled from the force of the punches and whatever was left of it collapsed. Judais finally opened his eyes.

He caught the last punch Je-Amus sent and spun him around like his rotating shield. He threw Je-Amus upward smashing through the rocks into the sky. Judais followed him closely and butted him in the belly further up into the sky. Like teleportation, Judais appeared besides the already stabilized Je-Amus and punched him like hell.

" Why do you sell things at this high price? isn't it too exorbitant " a customer questioned a seller who sold fruits.

" Ma'am, you all don't seem to understand " the seller defended himself.

" Understand what? " the customer queried even further.

" Agorna has been destroyed by that ferocious beast. They were our major supplier. Now that Agorna has be destroyed, we Serbians are facing great shortage of food. Our stocks have run out and these are the last. What do you expect? We are still trying to recieve supplies from Jinial but it will take time " the seller explained.

The customer seemed to have relaxed a bit as her tone became calmer " I've heard of that beast too, very well...

The sound of chaos could be heard all around the stall.

" What's going on? " the customer asked. She looked up and saw an object flying towards her. " Argh " she screamed but couldn't run away in time. The object fell heavily on her and the entire area around caved in.

Je-Amus shook his head lying on the ground. " That bastard Judais, I'll kill you ". Speaking of the devil, Judais was flying at full speed obviously intending to bash Je-Amus again. Enraged, Je-Amus put his two hands in front of him and a black ball of energy was formed. This is called ki blast. The black energy ball began to spark and grow in size from that of an egg to a watermelon. He fired the Ki which suddenly developed into a beam like a gush of water at Judais. When Judais saw that Je-Amus had fired a ki blast, a red ball formed on his left hand and he fired at the incoming black ki blast.

The two ki blasts collided red and black. To Jason, it looked stunningly beautiful, but to the dwellers here, it was destruction. They ran helter skelter seeking refuge, but when the ki blasts collided, it was finished. Stray sparks that escaped from the clash burnt down any place it touched such thing almost the entire settlement was on fire.

On Je-Amus's end, he screamed intent on pushing the beam towards Judais and the same was going on Judais's end. The beam eventually moved, but against Je-Amus. He screamed louder than ever, his muscles bulged and his veins was seen pulsing violently on his head. The beam moved towards Judais. The energy accumulation was getting too much.

" No, stop it " Jason shouted out to them, but alas they could not hear him. The explosion from the ki blast blinded Jason for a long time and he thought he was going to die but the explosion passed through him like he wasn't there. By the time Judais looked up, the entire settlement was in ruins. Nothing remained, no life.

Judais and Je-Amus stood panting and huffing. They looked at each other with ferocity in their eyes and dashed.

BAM!!!!!

An energy wave was released into the air. Judais and Je-Amus head rammed into each other's. Their hands connected and locked. They tried to push each other to the ground. Je-Amus unfurled his wings and took off to the skies with Judais then flung him downwards.

Judais crashed into the ground, but balanced himself in mere seconds. Like lightning, he swung his sword at the incoming Je-Amus bashing him away. Je-Amus dug his claws into the earth as he flew back. The momentum of his propelled body stopped right in time for him to stand.

Judais took out his shield and a red glow washed over it again. He took off towards Je-Amus and thrust the rotating shield. Je-Amus was confident in his wings defense and covered his frontal body with it. A clang was heard but slowly changed into that of razor cutting flesh. The wings was being sliced like meat while Je-Amus shouted in pain. Judais stopped and then hacked his sword on Je-Amus's shoulder drawing blood. He thrust his shield and hacked his sword at the same time.

The sword and shield began to glow too brightly and a sound like whirring blades began to come out of the sword and shield. Judais distanced himself from Je-Amus and pointed the sword at him. The red glow gathered at the tip and shot off a blast in the form of a sword.

" Die " Je-Amus shouted. He blasted his own ki energy at the sword ki but his ki blast was torn apart and the sword ki continued unhindered. Upon contact with Je-Amus's body, a bone piercing scream escaped from Je-Amus's mouth. By the time it was over, Je-Amus had returned back to his normal state without the transformation. Blood poured from his shoulders, face and arms and a hole could be seen inside his chest. He may on the ground battered.

" You truly are a fallen god " Judais mocked." Your blood is pathetic, doesn't give the power up my sword gets from blood of other gods ". Je-Amus tilted his head and Jason could see his face clearly. He shrieked in horror as he suddenly out if the liquid in the room. He touched his clothes which surprisingly wasn't wet. He remembered what he saw and began to run. " I have to get out of this house ". The moment he opened the door, he felt a cold painful chill and fell down stone dead.
