Astra kept running for her life from the beast
The cave started to shake a lot as the beast moved through it.
kai looks at the chaos happening as 0
everyone else drop their pickaxes and ran for the exit
"damn it astra what the hell did you do!"
picked up two nearby pickaxes and ran to astra and the beast grabbed astra by the shirt and landed on the worm's back.
"hold on tight!" Kai raised his hands high and Astra quickly grabbed onto him.
with one huge swing kai digs the pickaxes into the worm's back making it turn sideways and crashing into a wall.
"ok..... you can let go now"
Astra let go of Kai and they both got off of the worm.
"ok talk! how did that happen??`` Kai soon Interrogated after getting off the giant worm.
" Well I sorta...kind of did magic to get a better edge in the competition" astra mutters in shame, too afraid to look at kai in the face.
"You were worried about a competition, all of us could have died! did you forget why we came here?!"
astra stayed quiet
"It's to get magic stones for money right?! you said it yourself .....honestly it's like im dealing with a child sometimes"
Kai continued his rant about Astra's stupidity and the worm slowly rises behind him.
Astra soons notices this and pushes Kai out of the way and uses her water magic to make the biggest water ball she ever did without a staff, ultimately killing the worm.
...and destroying most of the cave in the process and making astra immobile for a while.
They had to pay for the damages with the crystals they collected along with the huge one but they were left with a small crystal that's worth at least 100 gold coins which could last them a while.
"kai..." astra said softly on kais back as he carried her back to the inn.
"what?" kai snapped
"I'm sorry.. about everything."
Kai sighed, feeling guilty for snapping here like that.
"I'm sorry too-"
