Chapter 5 - The Dragon's cave

Darwin entered the dark cave, the darkness was so thick that he could've see his own hands.

" David....mom" he called out .His echoed all over the place. He switched on his phone's light. Immediately a few bats flew out, he saw that at the end of the cave there was a dark tunnel. Without thinking twice he walked into it .

Outside of the cave, a black car was hidden in the dark bushes a few moments after Darwin entered the cave the figure sior youtting in the car picked up a phone and made a call.

" Sir David , he's entered the cave "the man said with a smile

"Hahaha...You've done well ..I'll make sure my father sends more resources to your branch clan ....hahaha"David burst into laughter

"Thanks sir this your cousin is such a trash it's my honor to do this for you ".

"Yeah ,since he walked into the cave on his own no one in our family could blame him and his father for Darwin's death "David's sinister voice rang out .

"In case he manages to come out..you know what to do" David continued .

''Are you kidding no one has returned from that place before ...be rest assured your plan this time is too great , you are so smart"the head took this opportunity to fawn on David

"Hmmm ...appoint someone to watch the cave if he doesn't come out in three days it's obvious he's dead "

"ok ,Young Master David....what do we do with his mom ? "the clan head asked

"we don't need her again, release her but make life hard for her"

"Ok ,Young Master"

Darwin had been walking inside the tunnel for a full two hours he was stunned the Spell mountain the little mountain were the Dragon's cave was a small mountain so how come the tunnel never seemed to end .

He was already weak and covered with injuries, if this kept on he would faint halfway, The tunnel was narrowing down as he kept going deeper ,he began to crawl on his knees further aggravating the injuries

After half an an hour of crawling his wounds had been cut open blood freely oozed out from his knees .

His phone went off as the battery died he could only fumble his way in the darkness.

" What if David didn't bring my mother here "

Doubts began to arise in his mind ,however he didn't want to accept it .At this moment burst of wind stung his eyes

"I must be getting closer to the end ,can't give up now"he thought as he continued to follow the tunnel .A minute later he saw a burst of golden light .

"The end of the tunnel "he smiled weakly. Within a few minutes he crawled weakly into the golden "sunlight ". Suddenly he felt his sight dim as he came into the light. He tried to get up but found he couldn't move a single muscle

" Bam" His aching shoulders and elbows gave up supporting him and he fell on his face.

Tears began to flow down his cheeks but they gave way to anger .He hated himself for not being able to awaken.

For thirty minutes he still couldn't get up but he could raise his head to look at the scene before him .

What he saw left him stunned immediately. Before him were countless trees ,birds and animals ,it was a huge forest .Questions began to pop up in his mind

How could such a place even exist in this small mountain?Am I really in the same cave I entered?

"Screech!!! " his thoughts were interrupted by a loud screech from the sky . Darwin had a foreboding feeling in his heart.

A huge shadow was blocking the light from reaching him .

" Shit ..what's that" he tried to get up but the pain was too much ,his body wasn't obeying his will again. However he managed to turn his body around to face the sky to what was above him.

"Huh..there's nothing ...no this is wrong.."he saw nothing when he turned around .Suddenly he caught the shadow of the flying object from the corner of his eye's.

A huge flying creature swooped down from the sky .Darwin finally got a closer look at the large beast,it was a large eagle with silver wings and metallic talons and claws . Darwin recognized the magic beast. A silver winged eagle beast at the mid tier of the slave rank It was merely an adult magic beast. Adult silver winged eagles could enter the upper warrior rank so this eagle beast should still be in its"teens".

''Is this how I'm gonna die..F*****k!!!!!" Darwin cursed out

"Ughh "he groaned in pain as the burden took it in its visor like claws .After the eagle beast grabbed its "snack "it shot into the sky and released a loud intimidating shrill cry, Darwin was forced to swallow the lump in his throat .

After its cry an azure light magic seal appeared before it Wind energy gathered forming a large wind shield

This was mid tier spell of the Slace level. .After forming the shield to block the chilling rush of wind coming against it.,it flapped its wing shooting ,soon the beast was flying at the speed of 290 m/s.

Seeing this Darwin began to wonder, "if slave rank creatures are this fast the n what about the tyrant kings and monarchs : ( "

Darwin's attention was drawn by the scenery below .

Even after the beast had flown for about an hour at that speed he still hadn't crossed the large forest additionally he saw some huge mountains in the distance, if any of that mountains were brought out the could take the title of the highest mountain at once.

The sky behind those mountains were red and an ominous aura lingered there ,although Darwin was far he could still feel the ominous aura.

"How can such a place exist in a small cave..no this should be a the hidden folds of space or the hidden realm.Being a former member of a super clan he knew such things.,but even his books didn't mention Hidden realms could be this big.

The silver winged eagle suddenly swooped down. Darwin saw that it was heading down a mountain ,compared to the mountains in the distance this mountain would look like a hill even it was it as tall as any other mountain in the outside world.
