Chapter 44 attack

Caleb was lying on the wall and from the look of things, the rocks he swallowed were taking effect.

He gritted his teeth every time the pain escalated. And the pain never seems to lighten, each second was like eternity for him.

At first he thought he was going to die but right now he wasn't sure he would die. He was wishing for a painless death but eventually everything he was experiencing was just pain!

He had been there for several hours but when he stumbled on those snakes, he had been running all the way until he reached a single spot where he decided to rest before he continued his sprint.

But then, two teenagers had run into him trying to show pity on him. They were trying to help him but he dreaded that.

He was raised to be strong at all times even in difficult situations and he wasn't going to lose that dignity.

"Hey! What are you two doing here"

His eyes narrowed as Benjamin and Jinx approached him. "I don't need your help" he growled, pushing Benjamin aw

The snakes were just nine feet away from them and it wouldn't be long until they reached them.Despite this, Jinx never left Benjamin."You saved my life once and I will save yours." After these words, she pulled him as strong as she could, making him stand on his wobble legs.Caleb was now running ahead of them. His strength was slowly returning back to him. And Jinx wondered how that was possible. Few moments he was dying but looking at him now, he was running as if he didn't swallow any rocks."Hey! Wait" Jinx tried calling him but the sound she made was silenced. The roaring of the wild snakes was now louder than ever. Which means they were now closer to them than they thought."Big guy!!" Jinx then realized that they didn't know his name. "Hey!! Help my friend"Caleb turned backwards. His eyes glinted with malice as he watched Ben

Hey, some body_ help m..e _ me"For the first time in his life, Caleb had actually asked for help from the teenagers. It was silly, but he felt the need to do so."Help me!!" He gasped, his voice barely audible over the hissing and slithering as the seven deadly serpents surrounded him. He could barely remain focused, his lungs screaming for air and his throat was already full of water.The fact that he was drowning was a dreaded punishment but then, seven serpents was nearing him each minute.His sight was enveloped by the never ending rush of the water. There was an unknown force that was constantly pulling him downwards. He had struggled so far but all seems useless. His energy was slowly fading away.

Not because he was coming up with a brilliant idea, but because he was confused."A river, a pond. What's the difference" "A river has a current that pulls the contents of the water from one place to another," Caleb said, remembering his own struggle in the pond which almost drowned him. "And a pond is stagnant…" Then he remembered the pond had kept dragging him like when he fell into a river last year and the same thing he felt when he fell into the pond."I think we should follow this pond," Caleb relized. "It must be the river.""Oh, so few moments you doubted it's a river and right now you have suddenly agreed?" Benjamin was so annoyed with Caleb. " You are unbelievable"" Yes I used to think it wasn't but then I recently recalled something "" Guys, please if indeed this is the river then let's walk alongside it. Maybe we might find something u

His legs flailed helplessly in the water and despite his best efforts, he couldn't control their involuntary movements, making them bob up and down more like useless deadweights than functional limbs.Panic hit Caleb as he looked yonder, he could see the snakes were slithering forward, their beady eyes fixed on him. "Not again!" he thought, trembling all over. "Help!" He shrieked, his voice barely audible. At that moment, Benjamin sprang into action, slicing through the water like an Olympic swimmer. Within seconds, he reached Caleb's side and grabbed hold of him. Despite the wounds in his stomach, Caleb felt a rush of relief. In one swift move, Benjamin hoisted him onto his log. Safely out of harm's way, Caleb began to

However, their excitement was short-lived as they soon approached a dead end, a towering metal gate blocking their path.Though they could see everything, they were partly still inside the cave, and only the metal bar was blocking them from getting outside and finally being free!Peering through the metal bars, they gazed longingly at the lush forest beyond. Frustration crept in as they realized they were trapped."I can't believe we've come so far only to be stopped by this damn gate," Caleb muttered, his hand running over the hard surface of the black metal bars that had brought their journey to a halt.Benjamin started thinking deep.

As he struggled to sit up, a sharp pain shot through his entire body. Suddenly, Jinx saw a tall, black figure fall from the tree. They looked up and saw a large branch of the tree coming down together with the creature. Caleb and Jinx watched in despair as the black creature fell on the ground. Caleb moved to check it out, and noticed that the creature's skin was made of pure ore, and its four hands were slightly broken.

It looks like it was calling for help," Caleb thought to himself as he turned around, only to discover Jinx running towards Benjamin, who was badly injured.Benjamin's breath was slowly fading, and his heart couldn't keep up with the amount

"I don't care if you believe your eyes or not. Now can you get out of my way?""No, You are not going anywhere. You need to answer my questions first."Dawn asked, "What questions?""So it's really you? What is going on in the slave establishment. What has happened there?" "The slave establishment is doing just fine. The warden has killed almost all the slaves that came in that day. Only a few of us survived. By the way, where is Jinx? If I remember it clearly, you were both thrown into the dungeon." Dawn asked, looking around.Benjamin was at a loss for words when Dawn asked him this question. How could he tell her what actually happened to Jinx, when he didn't know what actually happened to her?

Benjamin asked himself, not knowing what to do, he turned around only to notice that the nearest tree with a canopy was far away.The sound of the rushing wind increased sending gusts of wind in the land where the lone boy was standing. Gritting his teeth, Benjamin started running.He wanted to reach there in time before the rain starts.But the wind was against his plans as it kept on blind folding him with the dust.

"Mage Talastu, may your soul rest in peace"After saying that he reached his hands into the pocket of Talastu. But something was a miss. "Where is the spell book?"He searched his body again thinking maybe he might has hidden it inside his clothing but to Benjamin's dismay, there wasn't anything for him to find.Even all the weird items he has touched earlier when retrieving the spell book was no longer inside his pocket. With this revelation, Benjamin started having doubts."What of this is all illusion?" Benjamin gritted his teeth as if he was going to chew them. What happens if this was just an illusion? Then it will mean that Talastu might not be dead and he will definitely not be happy about Benjamin killing him. This sudden idea made Benjamin's blood

Listen carefully boy, for me to be able to find the princess, I need to be strong and healthy…" As he was talking he felt a stinging pain in his chest. " Ahh, please search my pocket, you will find my spell book. Remove it for me." He gritted his teeth in pain trying to force himself from yelling. "Please… hurry!"" Okay."Benjamin reached his hands to search Talastu's pocket. He nearly fainted by the thing his hands touched before he was finally able to retrieve the book. The spell book was as big as the size of his palm. It looked plain-black with no special paintings on it, and didn't look anything like a spell book. Which made Benjamin doubt him. "Here" Benjamin handed the book to him and stood by the side and watch as Talastu flicked the pages a few more times until he was able to find a page with the spell he was looking for.

Though this was just a picture of her current self, he could tell that she had been through a lot."This is her picture. Can you help me locate where she has been taken to?" Just as Benjamin asked this question, something unexpected happened.Tthe mage was only engrossed in his own thoughts as he watched the disastrous state of a princess. But just as he was unaware of his surroundings, he felt a sharp, long sword piercing through his heart!Since they were in an illusion, the moment Talastu felt that sharp pain, all the surroundings he had created with his power vanished, bringing them back to the dark forest.At that moment, there was a five-meter-long black sword stuck in his chest. Behind the sword was the unforgettable face of the Red creature who once abducted Benjamin."Hahaha, did you forget about me all
