Chapter 8 - Disbelief

Alice then starts to walk away leaving Caleb in disbelief to what she said before leaving him

"I really don't want to take her with me but if I don't i will get scolded by mom because i went to that blue tower" Caleb said with disappointment in his eyes

He then decides to goes outside to take a walk around the place more

Caleb starts exploring more and more in the area around even seeing a bit of people a few hundreds of meter away from the Cascade hotel

And during the exploration he also finds people that are living in a warehouse but the most interesting part for Caleb is their weapons that seems to be made of wood and fangs attached to it

But Caleb recognized the fangs as it is the same one in the spiders inside the blue tower

"I guess im kind of ignorant at the fact that people will be curious in entering the blue tower too, but that means no one else has defeated a armored anaconda before I defeated one" Caleb said walking back to the Cascade hotel

Soon he arrives back at the hotel and this time she asks his sister if she wants to join him in going to the blue tower and Alice immediately nods and so they came outside

"How are we gonna go there though? Its pretty far but since you arrived there and got back in just an hour your skill isn't really giving others skills" Alice said but Caleb didn't answer her question instead he picks Alice up completely surprising Alice

"Why are you picking me up?!"

"Just hold on tight as i might let go of you" Caleb said before using his skill Wind dash completely passing by buildings in less than a second

Alice is completely scared to the speed they're going and tries to ask Caleb to slowdown but it was futile since Caleb can't hear her because of the wind that's going in his ears

Soon they arrive at the blue tower but the moment Caleb looks into Alice he's shocked that Alice has fainted

Caleb tries to wake her up and after a few minutes of waking her up she finally gains consciousness again

"That speed, what did you do to achieve that speed? It's too fast that i even fainted from the pressure we're going through" Alice said trying to stay conscious

"But wow this tower is huge" Alice said in bewilderment

Alice also notices the door that tower have in front so she asks Caleb if he knows anything about the inside of the tower

At first Caleb doesn't want to reveal anything to her but after thinking for some time he decides to just tell her for safety

"The inside is a vast plateau that have a ton of monsters living in every place but mostly in forests and caves" Caleb said using the information he learn after exploring the plateau for quite some time

Alice easily acknowledged the dangers of the tower but she's resolute in entering since she hasn't gotten outside for a few days now

Caleb then opens the door and they both enter inside and when Alice sees the vast plateau she was immediately captivated by its beauty

"This is so beautiful but how can the inside be bigger than what's shown outside" Alice asks

"I also don't know" Caleb said and making Alice disappointed that he don't know anything about it too

Soon they starts walking around so Alice can explore and learn the places, while Caleb is hoping that when Alice sees the creatures she will decide to not go back in here so that she will be safe

But after a few minutes of walking the hope disappears as when Alice saw the spider that Caleb has fought before she is immediately intrigue by the unique creature

"What is that? Its so big and dangerous but it looks interesting at the same time" Alice said shocking Caleb by his reaction alone

'Well this is something out of my imagination" Caleb said in his thoughts

"I'm gonna try to defeat the two spiders" Alice said before using her divine summoning arts to summon a mantis

"A mantis? How can that win in those spiders" Caleb asks in confusion

"It's not just a mantis it's called martial mantis, it have the skill to fight like a thousand year living warrior and combined with its metal sharp claws" Alice explains but Caleb still doesn't believe that it can win

Soon Alice picks up the mantis and throws it towards the spiders and after a few moments it lands on the back of the first spider and when it felt the mantis it starts to shake its body to try take the mantis off its back

But the mantis quickly reacts and easily balances itself and starts to use its claws to cut the spider's skin and to Caleb's surprise the claws easily penetrated the skin of the spider and it starts to move around without taking off the claws in the spiders body to make the small wound big and problematic

Soon the spider is deafeted by the mantis because of its wound that's making it lose blood

The orher spider then starts to attack the mantis too but the mantis easily avoids the attack and the mantis also starts to do what it just did to the other spiders

After a quite some time the spid is defeated and the martial mantis won without being hit even once

This makes Alice happy that her mantis defeated a spiders several hundred time bigger than itself

And this makes Caleb shook his head in disbelief and after some time he finally accepts the fact that his sister is obsessed in her summons
