Tanvir was taken aback by the sound and glanced around in search of the source. In the corner of the room, he noticed a small red crystal that had ceased to be illuminated. He then looked back at the mechanical hammer at the crystal, which was also red and the same size as the one in the corner. It was then that he realised they were the same exact copy, except for the one in the corner which had lost its shine.
" I'm not that. I'm this come help me get out of this shit*"
Hearing the tone of the voice. It was clearly irritated. Tanvir gazed back at the glowing red crystal being hammered again and again.
" Human. I'm not that!. There's a small knot on the mechanical hammer. Destroy it and let me be free!"
Tanvir hesitated for a moment. But after a second almost convinced and made up his mind. But then all of a sudden he stopped and thought for second. And realized isn't this too weird he agreed to help too easily.
" Damnit, Spell broke.You do have some talents then. Ok come help me."
Tanvir frowned his eyes. It's too weird. How can this thing. What ever it is asking for help like this. He had teb urge to completely ignore it.
" Oi, come help me out. Or this. Master graz will kill you"
The thought of helping it right away disappeared. He turned around and started heading upstairs.
" Oi come help me! Fast. Aether energy started increasing again I don't want to stay here anymore" The voice almost pleaded. But still somewhat arrogant.
Tanvir ignored it and continued going upstairs.
" Fuck it!. Please come help me!. I will tell you how to get all of the treasures."
Tanvir stopped for a second. His eyes light up!. Treasure's. He was about to go turn help it. But he realized he can squeeze some more now.
" Curse you human!. I will give you high grade spirit crystals along with treasure that can make anyone ressurct thrice!"
Hearing this he finally stopped. As he can't ignore it this time. He stopped for a second and realizing the pros and cons. He turned around. If it really can bring someone from death. Without a doubt it's a lifetime opportunity. Thus taking the risk worth it.
" Good good, don't just rush in here. Go destroy that crystal on the corner. It will stop the hammer from smashing down at the mana source." It spoke impatiently.
Tanvir nodded and with a swift lept he appeared right Infront of the crystal. Taking out the one he slashed at the crystal. He felt no resistance and cut through the crystal like butter.
He turned around and gazed at the mechanical hammer. It speed started reducing. And in couple. of seconds it stopped.
He had lots of questions like what this thing is. But he put them aside for now.And lept on the it. The knot was easily noticable as it was the only part which didn't match the color with its actual body.
He still felt he shouldn't do this. Making free this unknown entity. But he can't ignore the price it gave. Which can even bring people from death. He know very well how many things could happen one wasn't careless enough. Thus he better should be prepared to not lose such opportunity to bring back people he might lose in future.
He grabbed the knots. And with all his might he pull them apart. The moment he did sound of metal twisting started coming form the mechanical hammer.
He quickly retreated and jumped down. Holding the one. Ready to face whatever.
The mechanical hammer began to transform. Pieces shifted and rearranged until a humanoid figure emerged from the metallic frame.
The glowing red crystal levitated in front of it. The area of the chest started twisting. And soon after a holder was made. The red crystal slowly attached to it. Layers of fabrics covered it completely.
Soon after the face of the mechanical figure started twisting and two big hallow eyes appeared on them.
The first thing it look is Tanvir. Tanvir felts odd seeing this. He was expecting a lot of things to happen like a monster, soul or something.
But it' turns out it's somekind of robot!.
" Gwd, gwd. The body still works" It muttered and gazed at his hands.
" Thanks Human, for taking me out of that shit hole"
Tanvir observed the transformed figure, still processing the unexpected turn of events. "What... are you?" he asked cautiously, uncertainty in his eyes.
It looked at him. It didn't have any mouth just two big spider man eyes. Blinking now an then.
" Haha, it seems I forgot to introduce my self, I'm Graziya. The former queen of the spirit race." It bowed down a bit.
before Tanvir could say anything. It pierced its own body and took out a blue crystal. And through toward him.
Tanvir was right away scared seeing the thick blue aura surroundings the crystal. And quickly used shadow steps to retreat. And looked back.
The crystal fall down at the place he was at a while ago. Tanvir was unconsciously waiting for something to happen considering the thick aura.
But nothing happened. And just like that couple of seconds passed. Tanvir frown his eyes and gazed at the robotic figure.
It also looked at him.
" Human, what are you doing. That's your price for helping me. The one for ressurcting the dead."
Tanvir turned his head around and looked at the crystal. Now that he thinks about it he didn't feel danger or something it was just that the aura was too thick and this fucking trash can just throw something at him just like that.
" If you don't want it. So be it" Graziya muttered and crossed her hands.
Tanvir didn't move. " That's not a bomb?"
" Who knows, come quickly. I will guide you to the promised treasure room" saying that she turned around started walking on the left path.
Seeing this Tanvir grited his teeths.
" So be it!" He quickly rush towards the blue crystal picked it and put it in his pocket and rush behind her.
