Chapter 14 - Sword of judgment

Caleb then decides to wonder around for fun and so he starts to swiftly travel through the entire plateau when suddenly he finds a river and across the river is a vast open plain

"Now this is interesting, the tower actually have a different lands" Caleb said

He then crossed the river and explores in the plain and to his shock the plain is way bigger than the plateau as even after a few minutes of traveling with the strength of his body combined with his Simple body enhancement he have only reach a single place and it's just a forest

"This is huge, how can the people from the government explore up to this point when they wasn't able to get the achievement for the first one beating a elite creature" Caleb thought with disappointment in his voice

"Well it's not my problem" Caleb then continues exploring around and soon he finds a stone ruins

"There can be a ruins in this tower? Can there be people here a long time ago?" Caleb thought asking himself about the weird place he can find out of everything

After some time he snaps out of his thoughts and looks into the stone ruins and decides to enter it and find some clue whether some people lived here or not

Stepping to the entrance of the stone ruins he immediately feels the different atmosphere, a dark and ominous feeling envelopes Caleb making him feel unease

"How can things change so much from the moment I steeped in" Caleb thought visibly shaking while looking at the middle of the stone ruins where a pillar stands

"The feeling I'm getting right now is coming from that pillar but what could be in that pillar to emit such ominous presence" Caleb thought before walking towards the pillar

There he ready his fist, taking a deep breath and punches the tower absolutely destroying it to pieces and in the rubble a shining gold sword is left laying and Caleb immediately notices the ominous feeling disappearing

"This sword it's so majestic but does it have a connection with the ominous presence before?" Caleb ponders before picking up the sword and at that very moment the sword starts shaking

This makes Caleb confuse to the reason it's shaking when suddenly the surrounding turns into a pitch black void

The void has seemingly no end to it and there's also murmurs everywhere and this makes Caleb feel even more unease

"What's this? Did i enter another space by just holding the sword? But what's with all this voices that I can't understand?" Caleb thought with a bit of fear in his eyes

While Caleb is looking around a human shaped light suddenly emerges from the ground and stands a few meters away from Caleb

Caleb then observes the creature when suddenly it starts to reshape again but this time turning into an actual human appearance that looks just like a young girl but with wounds in her body

When Caleb sees the complete transformation of the creature he's shock that the one it transformed to is his sister Alice

"What?! How did it became Alice?!" Caleb said visibly shaking from what it might do next

"You.. you're the reason why dad died, if only you haven't wish to get a present from the Twilight Cafe while he's at his work then he wouldn't go there and die from a car crash!" The creature screams

Caleb who was taken aback from what it said remembers the memory from what it said

"That day.. its not my fault, i didn't forced dad to buy my a present and its the driver that crashed into dad's fault" Caleb said with a resolute face in saying that it's not his fault

But after that the creature starts screaming again and telling him that it's his fault over and over again and soon the creature multiply into hundreds all of which is blaming him

But this didn't affect Caleb as he knows well that the creature is just trying to break him so he stands determined and holds the gold sword up

The sword then starts to glow massively throughout the void dispersing the creatures that's attacking Caleb's mind

Caleb then stands there and at the moment he blinks he is back again at the same stone ruins before but this time the dark and ominous presence is coming from the sword is gone

[You have acquire the Sword of judgment]

[Description: The sword wielded by the great hero of laviska empire and used to slay the demon lord of omen]

"This sword is used to defeat a demon lord? How much different is the demon lord when compared to the Dark spider lord?" Caleb wonders but soon he realizes that he doesn't have any thing that he can use to store the sword

"I might be able to create something that can store a lot of things even when it's a small bag" Caleb thought

He then starts to imagine a small bag that holds large materials and weapons and uses his skill Creation, soon he's finally done creating it but the thing he got is a pouch

"A pouch? Well i guess it might be better than what i expect" Caleb then opens the pouch and to his shock he is able to open it as large as a bears body

He then puts the sword into the pouch and closing it immediately

"I guess that's enough for today" Caleb then goes back into the entrance of the tower

Going outside he enters the grocery store once more and indulge himself eating almost everything in the store before leaving

"The battles i had today really made me so hungry" Caleb said before starting to go back at the Collos area

Soon he arrives close to the entrance so he uses his skill invisible to sneak past them again and after that he goes back to his room

The moment he opens the door Alice immediately question him while she's watching television "what took you so long?"

"I got into a hard battle, almost died once" Caleb said surprising Alice and making her worried

"How can you talk about that so normally" Alice said

"Don't be too worried" Caleb said making Alice angry

"How will i not be worried if you die i will no longer be able to to go at the tower" Alice said trying to hide her actual worries

Caleb knows this so he just smiles before going back to his room and starts to clean himself leaving Alice who continued watching television

While Caleb is showering he thinks about the sword and it's importance to the history of the tower

"It's used by a great hero of the tower so why is it buried beneath a pillar?" Caleb wonders

Soon he's finally done showering and dresses himself before going out to go to the cafeteria
