“Urrg, these chips are really great, who knew that they sold these in the store, I gotta take some time to explore” Rash said while chewing on some whips as we walked through the secret pathways within the great wall, I had summoned Mufasa to clear the rubble, at first Rash was startled and almost shot Mufasa but after some time persuading him that Mufasa was my pet, he finally calmed down and watched as Mufasa worked with his huge paws to clear away the rubble.“Could you shut up and stay alert, we have a Jiangshi to worry about and a loose ‘Katergaris’ on our hands, but technically speaking I’m honestly more worried about Katergaris than of the Jiangshi” I replied, my mind in deep thought, I was trying to formulate a reasonable explanation for meeting Katergaris, even though it was clear that he was here for the same reason why I was, I was still shocked that he would opt to do this himself, the main reason why I was so stressed thinking about him was that I knew how dangerous and e
“This place is huge” I said after we appeared in the dungeon before us was a huge pyramid with a huge skeleton head atop it, the surrounding was dark because it was night, but it seemed like the pyramid was in a desert, due to all the sand around us I could deduce that much, what shocked me the most was the size of the pyramid, it was simply huge, and the menacing head of a creature that I couldn’t recognize even made it seem even larger.“And creepy as hell, what type of dungeon is this, it looks like the movie where the black man dies, and that skull at the top seems to be staring at me, I don’t think it’s a good idea, everything about this place says ‘welcome to your death’ Dom” Rash said to me with a frown, he didn’t like anything about the place.“Stop being so paranoid and let’s go, we don’t have much time” I said grabbing Rash who hesitated while staring at the pyramid.“You know what? I have a better idea, why don’t we not go in and you can send in your Cat lion-ish pet to go
“I said Doctor Strange would win in a fight with Harry Potter” Rash repeated with a serious expression, trying to make his point to me as we appeared on the second floor.“I didn’t say that wouldn’t happen but I’m trying to say that Harry Potter would put up a fight though” I replied with a sigh, not understanding how Rash was so agitated by this, I then drew my attention to the second floor, this was different from the first floor where there were caves, on this floor, there was a huge red orb levitating in the center of the room which was devoid of any statues, only a locked door with seven colorless orb embedded within.“I wonder what sort of test we’ll have to face here” Rash muttered while observing the room curiously, he walked toward the door as I also walked toward the orb cautiously.“It’s locked, yep it’s locked” Rash tried to open the door which didn’t budge so he tried again using more strength but ended up with the same result so he surrendered and turned to the orb.“Wel
“Rock Paper Scissors“ Ben and his brother both said, before putting out their options, Ben put out Rock and Jay put out scissors.“Won again” Ben said victoriously, mocking his brother.“Fuck you, you cheated again” Jay replied with a shrug.“Stop being a sucker, you loser hahahahaha” Ben chuckled in reply.“Whatever I ain’t playing this game no more” Jay grunted turning around to face Samir who sat quietly patting the feathers of his parrot.“Come to think of it, I’ve never heard this guy talking before, have you?” Jay asked his brother who shook his head.“Nope, it’s like he only speaks through his parrot, I’ve never heard him personally speak” Ben replied also coming to realize this fact.“Enemies alert, enemies approaching” The parrot whose eyes were closed suddenly, shot open as these words flew out of its mouth, its master Samir who was also calmly seated turned around to face a particular direction behind the brothers.“Enemies” The brothers hearing this also went on full alert
“Looks like you might be stronger than I thought” Kenos remarked, summoning hordes of black mist above him, his dead eyes actually containing a hint of interest as he stood staring at the calm figure of Samir who hadn’t been struck by an attack since they started the battle, his eyes instead remained fixated on Kenos who looked like a soul reaper.“But if you’re only going to dodge and not attack then this battle might end sooner than you think” Kenos added before moving a finger, causing the black mist to compress themselves into arrow shapes before shooting toward Samir, who took a step back and disappeared, appearing some distance away but contrary to his expectations, the arrows which should have moved past him seemed to have a life of their own, as they followed him increasing their speed.“SWOOSH” Suddenly a black void appeared before Samir, which swallowed up the arrows that shot into them before disappearing.“You actually made me use my skill” Samir’s parrot said with a hint
“We have to go after him” I said to the others, I was determined to stop whatever foul plan that Katergaris might have.“That’s a great idea but first of all we need to cross to the other side first” Damien replied staring at the booby-trapped floor, the tiles on the floor looked normal but underneath there were traps.“That is also going to be a problem, this place is like a level 5 escape room, the complexity of the pattern is simply unbelievable, there are patterns within patterns” Logan said with a shake of his head, his eyes glowing as they scanned the whole room, this was one of his abilities, the ability to analyze and sense things unseen to the naked eyes, that was how he managed to deduce that Katergaris had been here, whenever he used that ability, he could see sometimes thin threads and colors that were normally invisible, like in the case of Katergaris, all he saw was a faint cloud of red mist where Katergaris had been standing.“You can see the booby traps?” Rash asked in
“Welcome my friends, I’ve been waiting for you guys, well I’m sure you already know that” As soon as we appeared, our eyes were struck by Katergaris’s voice.We turned around to see him seated on a chair, more specifically a throne, I quickly observed our surroundings to see where we were, we had appeared in a huge room, one key thing I noticed was that there were no windows or doors, and this room was bigger than all the previous ones, and this shocked and marveled me, because the higher we climbed in the dungeon, the bigger the rooms became but a pyramid reduced in size the higher it went.I decided to forget about that and focused more on details, anything that could help me understand what Katergaris was here for, in the process of doing this my eyes landed on a coffin with a huge ruby in the center that sat next to Katergaris who sat calmly facing us, completely unfazed by our number.“I’m sure about a million thoughts are going through your mind, right now, but it all boils down
“Oh shit, we’re going to die” Rash yelled as we fell from the sky.“Shut up and grab onto each other” Damien retorted coldly before grabbing me.“Dom, snap out of it, we need you right now” Damien said while shaking me in the air trying to whisk me back to reality, my mind was currently in a dormant state, the revelations had dulled my mind and turned me into a vegetable, I had no idea of whatever was going on around me.“Shit, Katergaris must have done something to his mind, his consciousness has been sucked into his body” Logan said after examining my body.“Suzy, you need to transform, take Rash and Brad with you, the rest of you hang on to me tight, it’s going to be a rocky ride” Damien said lightly tapping Suzy on her shoulder, subtly copying her power“Okay, hang on, Phoenix transformation” Suzy whispered, two flaming wings sprouting out from her back which stabilized her as she now dodged the falling pieces of the pyramid, her right hand clutching Rash and her left clutching Br
