Chapter 19 - Reach the center of the island.

He immediately continued his journey up the mountain quickly, about 5 hours of climbing they managed to reach the top at midnight.

Virgo saw a large crater that formed a lake at the top of the mountain, then in the middle of the lake a small hill with thick smoke could be seen very clearly, the moonlight enhanced the beauty of the mountain peak.

Seeing the sight Virgo was amazed, "I just knew there was a lake that could form on the top of the mountain". Muttered the righteous Virgo enchanted by the beauty of the mountain peak.

But of course behind that beauty an aura that is so strong and scary accompanies it, even when Virgo steps up to fetch water because of thirst, Aiden immediately screams loudly when he feels the aura.

"You must feel it too? But we have to go there, I promise to take care of you". Virgo said while stroking Aiden's head.

But even so, Aiden still felt uncomfortable and kept screaming, seeing Aiden's behavior that continued to rebel, Virgo finally relented.

"Okay we will rest here, we will go down there tomorrow morning". Virgo clearly sighed helplessly because his pet bird was like a friend to him.

On the peak of the smoky mountain child in the middle of the lake, there was a shadowy figure staring at Virgo with a smile.

Virgo felt the wind at the top of the mountain was very strong and also very cold, he remembered there was a big tree a few hundred meters earlier, he decided to rest there.

"Finally you made it here, I will wait for you at the top of the mountain child, you will take the next prize there". An echoing voice rang out as Virgo was in a dark space like the previous dream.

"Wait! Who are you and why did you give me this power?" Virgo asked quickly when he realized he was in a familiar place.

In front of him was only a golden glowing orb with blue lightning continuously flashing around it.

"You will find the answer once you are at the top of the mountain child". Answered the mysterious voice lightly.

Virgo immediately woke up and it was still evening, Aiden beside him was still awake as if he was watching his old man, "Aiden, why haven't you slept yet?". Virgo asked quickly and a little worriedly.

"Oaaax".

Aiden just shouted, "Okay, do whatever you want, I don't understand what you mean anyway". Virgo said who closed his eyes again because he was quite tired.

The next morning, Virgo is awakened by the loud sound of Aiden and several other animals roaring, the sun already shining on the mountaintop.

"Good morning, Aiden," Virgo said while stretching, he immediately put Aiden on his shoulder and rushed down from the tree.

"Let's go now". Virgo said and immediately sped quickly to the top of the mountain, after arriving there Virgo was again stunned by the extraordinary view of the mountain peak.

Now everything is clearer, the wide lake is very clear with a blue color, the child of the mountain continues to emit smoke and now looks a little bit of lava, green plants and Edelweiss flowers are starting to be seen on the edge of the lake.

The thick clouds looked like the ocean with the warm sun shining all over it, and it made Virgo almost want to stay silent on the mountaintop, but as he remembered his goals and dreams last night he had to give up and head straight down.

Now even in the morning with a different scene, the aura in that place didn't change in the slightest, if it was an ordinary human one might immediately faint from being unable to breathe by the suffocating aura.

Aiden who was on his shoulder looked tense and scared but this time he didn't scream as if he completely trusted Virgo.

What's even weirder is that there are no wild animals in that place, as if there is a forbidden place that no wild animal is allowed to enter.

Virgo arrived at the edge of the lake, he and Aiden took water to drink, then he looked at the mountain child in the middle of the island, because there was nothing in that place, the only way to get there was to swim.

While thinking that, a giant goldfish the size of a small hut suddenly approached and parked like a boat in front of Virgo.

Virgo gulped a little doubtfully, he clearly knew the purpose of the fish's existence, because there was no other choice he decided to climb onto the giant goldfish's back with full vigilance.

"Wussst".

The fish immediately swam quickly towards the mountain child in the middle of the island, Virgo was very surprised because the gold fish's swimming speed was beyond his expectations, he arrived at the mountain child quickly.

There was no vegetation around the ridge, only hot black sand and gravel with a burst of smoke and a little red lava at the end of the ridge.

Without thinking he went straight to the top of the mountain slowly, when he was almost reaching the top, the sand and gravel there began to shake violently and a loud rumbling sound was heard.

As if a monster was about to come out from within the mountain child, but Virgo, who had strengthened his resolve and was a little used to such a situation so continued to walk, when he arrived at the peak, thick smoke that continued to gush out began to form a thick black cloud that enveloped the mountain child.

And a dark shadow in the shape of a large face began to form from the black smoke, his eyes narrowed with a crooked smile that was so clearly looking at Virgo.

"Human child, congratulations you have arrived at this place," Said the shadow of the big face while laughing loudly, and black lightning began to strike in the area of โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹the mountain child which added to the tension.

Virgo shuddered in fear and became very alert, but he tried to remain steady and calm, "Yeah, I'm here, now you have to explain everything". Answer Virgo seriously.

"Hahaha, of course, I will keep my promise, I will also give you something that will change your life". Said the shadow of the big face lightly.

Virgo squinted and watched intently, "Then what are you waiting for?" Answered the impatient Virgo.

"You don't have to worry, it's very easy, but first, I want to ask you,"

"Ask? What do you mean". Virgo is becoming increasingly wary.

"Don't you want to get off this island, and go back to where you came from?" Asked the shadow of the big face sounded serious.

"What kind of question is that, who wants to continue living in a place filled with deadly beasts," Virgo replied emphatically, basically one of his goals to this place was to get a clue so he could come back.

"Haha, alright. I'll tell you, the only way to get out of this place is for you to release the power of aura that can change the flow of the dimensions of space and time". He answered quickly.

Hearing that Virgo was very surprised, he thought such a thing could not be done, "Are you playing with me? How could I do such a thing". Virgo shouted in annoyance.

"Of course, it's an easy thing, with my power you can do it like turning a palm, you just need to inherit my power". Replied the shadow of a large face with a crooked smile on his mouth.

"Inheriting your power?"
