"Where could she be hiding? I don't know where she is..." one of the guys spoke with a sarcastic tone as he walked inside the temple.
"Everyone, look for the girl," he said, and the others simply nodded their heads.
"Where are you?" I could hear him coming close to me. My heart started to beat at a very fast rate.
"Well, well, I don't see her. Did you all find her?" he asked everyone with a sarcastic tone while he stood near the pillar where I was hiding.
My heart was beating very fast. Tears were coming out of my eyes, but somehow I held myself and didn't make any noise.
"Sir, see this," suddenly one of the guys called him, and he looked towards him.
"What's up? Did you find something?" the guy questioned with a big smirk on his face as he walked away from the pillar.
"Haaa, did he leave?" I took a sigh of relief as I tried to see what they were doing.
"Wooo... hahahahaha..." suddenly, the guy who I thought had left came in front of me and startled me.
"What did you think, you would be able to hide from me?" he said, showing a big grin on his face, and then grabbed my hair, starting to drag me with him.
"You have made many problems for us, and now you are going to pay for that," he said while I struggled to get out of his grip. But no matter what I did, I couldn't get out of it.
"What do you think? You can escape from me so easily?"
Slap... he said and slapped my face. I could feel a burning sensation on my right cheek, and my tears started to fall from my eyes.
"Mother, help me," unconsciously, I pleaded, my cries for help to my dead mother, even though I knew that she isn't going to come and save me.
"Oh, what is this face? Hahahahha, are you crying? Ahahahahahaha..." the guy who was holding my head started to laugh at me, and others also joined and laughed together at my helpless situation.
"Please, let me go. I don't want to get sold like a slave to them," I pleaded with all my might and tried my best to get out of his grip.
I saw his hand, which was close to my mouth in an attempt to get out. I bit his hand with all the force I could muster in that situation.
"Aaaaa... Bitch, how dare you?"
"Aaa..." he screamed at me and then kicked me with full force. I got thrown back, and my head got struck by one of the stone pillars.
Dip... My head got injured due to this, and blood started to come out from my head and fell on the ground, which had some Ancient carvings on them.
"Bitch, how dare you bite me up," the guy screamed again at me and grabbed my leg, starting to drag me again.
"Please, God, help me," I pleaded with all my might.
"I don't care who you are, just listen to my prayers and help me," I said again. I didn't care who it would be; I just wanted to get out of this situation no matter what.
And as if someone had heard my prayers, suddenly the ground started to tremble.
The blood, which had fallen on the carvings, started to move alongside the patterns of the Ancient carvings.
"What the fuck is happening here?" one of the guys screamed as he saw the whole dungeon trembling.
"It seems that the cave is going to fall. We have to get out of here fast," the guy who was dragging me said and lifted me on his shoulder, starting to run towards the exit.
Thud... But the exit got blocked by many rocks which fell from the ceiling.
"Now what?" one of the guys asked and looked towards the person who was lifting me.
"Use mana to attack the entrance. We have to get out of here, or the whole complex will fall on us," the guy said, but suddenly everything just stopped moving.
Everyone looked here and there, puzzled, trying to find out what had caused this quack.
Suddenly, the blood on the Ancient carvings started to move and multiply.
The blood, which was just a drop a while ago, multiplied to a degree that the whole Ancient carvings now had an outline of red blood upon them.
"What is this..." one of them asked in a trembling voice. They were scared of the unknown.
"Don't worry... We will be alright," the guy who was carrying me said while looking towards the carvings which were now outlined with blood. I also looked at the sight with a surprised look.
Shush... But suddenly, all the blood on the ground evaporated, and everything looked normal again.
"See, I told you everything is going to be alri..." Suddenly, the ground started to tremble again, and a beam of red crimson light was shot towards the ceiling. Then, a loud explosion was heard from where the red beam of light was coming from.
"What is th..." Suddenly, a pressure so strong that everyone in the room started to feel suffocated descended over the room.
The aura of this pressure was so strong that everyone kneeled on the ground without thinking a second. Their bodies didn't listen to them, and everyone fell on the ground, including me.
But suddenly, the pressure which we were feeling a while ago suddenly disappeared, and we were able to stand up again like normal.
The room was filled with smoke and dust from the previous explosion, so no one could see what was happening in front of them.
"What was that? I never felt this type of pressure in my entire lifetime," one of the guys said while trembling, and everyone nodded their heads with the same look on their faces.
"Well, whatever that was, it seems that it has been stopped. I think we should leave this place at once," the leader said, and everyone nodded their heads.
"Ohhh, it seems I have some visitors here... interesting," suddenly a voice came from the smoke.
Everyone looked towards the smoke and couldn't help themselves but get surprised by the sight they saw.
