Chapter 73 : The Environment Is A Factor Part 3.
The group of soldiers enters the Monolith, as other bystanders and we advance to enter the Structure.
{Now that i realize this, They were not a full platoon, Could it be they are going inside for the rest of their comrades?… , Wait, Is that even applicable?, It could be that their policies are to not go for the lost members of their organization, Or the amount of integrants in their lines is different from the metric that was employed in the Military Doctrine the Soldiers had in Ground?}
As we cross the malleable blue entrance, i managed to glance the Masked Acolyte, standing not too far from the Monolith.
{Is she coming too?!, That would be a surprise…}
On the other side, an impressive view awaits us, a huge slope from which i can see a completely black sky full of stars.
Below this, a valley, in which i can notice another two Monoliths, both of them are identical in shape to the one behind me.
But have a different colour than red, a hedious yellow that i have seen only in the Liquid made of Ambivalent Energy, and a black azabache shade.
Then, a forth Structure appear, being a large triangular grey prism of stone that stands in the middle of the Monoliths, apparently, at equidistant distance from the other three Structures.
These in turn, are surrounded by several people and or creatures of different sizes but not surpassing the 2.75 meters of height or being shorter than 1.40 meters.
Their colours, shapes and attires have variety too, being difficult to pay attention to all of them because in a general margin, they give the exact same vibe i feel in the Monolith in which i met Viukane.
{Is this going to be a pitched battle?!, I am not sure how long we can last if that is the case… , Some of them look extremely dangerous, and even those around avoid them}
My suspicion is badly unfounded, as a person tries to move towards another Monolith, clearly with hostile intentions.
The movement of this person is stopped by a translucent gray energy barrier, the protection leaves the triangular Prism and divide the valley into three sections, leaving one side of this Structure accessible from these sections.
—This is not what i was expecting.
Comment Dallas with dry voice, replying with similar tone is evident that i am startled too.
—Our knowledge is flawed, We should focus on relearning and adapt.
Thyfall descends from my back and points to the Monolith that is behind us.
—It doesn't work.
{So we are stuck here with only one path ahead, The gray triangular prism, *Sigh*, Will one day I be able to have a calm life without constantly moving everywhere like I had on Ground?}
My silent complain is stored in my memory, advancing with Thyfall and Dallas towards the prism, Silver and Swallöwęįne follow us closely, as do some soldiers and inhabitants of the small Village, including the Masked Acolyte.
When facing the entrance of malleable gray material, a wellnknown Osmium blue point along with a point of Golden hue appear in the center of the wall of this Structure.
—After you Dallas.
He sighed, Silver has clear intentions of remaining with Swallöwęįne, and obviously, i am not going to leave Thyfall's side as long as i can.
—We are going first.
State resolutely Thyfall while she holds my hand, i smile confidently to her, she does the same, and the both of us advance forward, passing through the malleable gray material of the wall.
Our new environment is completely different from the previous one, it is made of rectangular gray stone bricks, which are present in the ceiling and floor as well, not only on the walls.
Also, behind us, there is no way out.
{This is like when I arrived at The New Existence in the Reception Chamber}
Our location is a corridor, the coldness of the stone is as uncomfortable as stepping on this floor, it's rough, like sandpaper.
Coating Thyfall with aqua green Kinetic Energy as i have done before, she covers me in return too with her lilac [Personal Shield].
With this, we have some illumination in this dark place, the humidity of the environment is more bearable, the cold is less chilling and the ground is not so bothersome as before.
—Left or Rig…
Thyfall's sentence is stopped by herself, the stunn must have been immense considering that she is speachless for a few seconds.
»—Korvac, look our hands.
Seeing that our clasped hands have an ethereal "0/115" of blue Osmium and Golden energy floating above our counter palm, we cease to hold each other, changing this number to an ethereal "0/75" of Osmium Blue above my right hand and a "0/60" of Gold energy over Thyfall's right hand too.
{How strange, 60 plus 75 is 135, not 115, and what does it mean?}
Leaving the mystery unfinished, we hold our hands once again to protect each other.
—Let's check both directions before deciding which one to go.
Thyfall accepts with a nod, and both walk to the left side, reaching the end of the corridor there is two directions again.
This time we go right, being stopped by a corner that goes left.
So we go back in our steps to the second deviation advancing to the left, reaching a corner that goes left.
—Korvac, If this pattern repeats itself in the other side, We will move further and further away from where we started regardless of our decision.
—Mmm… , We have to move and search for food if an exit is not viable…
—You think the numbers have something to do with it?.
—Maybe… , For the meantime let's confirm if the other two paths have the same design, just to be sure and confirm it.
Heading to the other two directions we confirm that there is no pattern, the right side splits in to two corridors, but the left path leads to a closed door of gray stone, while the right path ends in a room with other three corridors.
{My Paranoid Disposition is sometimes useful, or at least i think i have this type of Disposition because of my excessive cautiousness}
Being intrigued by the door we saw before, Thyfall tell's me to returned and inspect the object with more attention, i don't know about this matters, so i live the work to her.
—It is blocked with a mechanism that needs Zionez, You want me to open this?.
I reason for a moment, we have no idea what is on the other side, or if it is a trap, but if we don't do anything, we would starve to death.
—Open it!.
Thyfall obey and a hue of lilac translucent Zionez leave her hand, being absorbed by the cracks in the door stone, the latter trembles for a moment, dividing into two parts that start sliding to left and right, hiding in the walls to leave an open chamber.
is not too big with a 6 per 6 meters, and has only another exit, which is blocked by a gray stone door like the previous one.
{A waiting area?, Or to rest?, Isn't it biased that Zionez are required?, Should we get out of here and search other path?}
Thyfall analyzes the second door and says something i didn't expect.
—Needs Ambivalent Energy to be opened…
{Why i am feeling a creepy vibe?}
—We have to leave Thyfall!.
Without understanding what is this feeling i turn around with the Pink Hair Girl.
The door we use to enter in this chamber closes abruptly, as the entrance in our backs opens, revealing two males of yellow skin and brown spots on their hairless head.
Both have primitive loincloths of red fur and sturdy ocher bone weapons, their height berely reaches the 2 meters, but they have a stocky silhouette, and the disgusting Yellow eyes of Crazy People i have seen before.
The tension increases exponentially, placing myself in front of Thyfall as she prepares her Zionez attacks.
Having to let go her hand, I lose access to her [Personal Shield], this seems to encourage this two yellow Anthropoids, who launch themselves against me brandishing their weapons without hesitation or coordination.
Coated with aqua green Kinetic Energy i step forward too, intercepting with my right fist the weapon wielded by one of my attackers.
The bone feels hard, however, is immediately fragmented upon contact with my skin, the broken parts of the weapon get charged with Kinetic Energy, glowing with an aqua green shade and flying like shrapnel, hitting my attacker's shoulder and his companion.
Their tracks are stopped momentarily as her bodies are pushed back even when they are defended by a yellow energy protection that is near their bodies, it is not a [Personal Shield], because i have seen this in only one individual, Shlõvthy.
{How they have access to a [Body Shield]?!, I think not even Briannell have it!}
