Chapter 42 - another way.

Then without saying any word, Kai quikly locked both of them in a square shape Barrier made of silver. And another giant sphere made of silver is appearing. The sphere is slowly connecting with the square barrier. Then after that. Something had opened from the sky. Kai can't actually see it because of how dark the surrounding is and how high the ceiling was, but he just know. Something had open.

Next, the sound of rushing water become more visible and visible, or stronger and stronger. But just hearing the sound of water, Kai quikly realized that it is becoming nearer and nearer. So his anxiety is also increasing because why am I so unlucky? dammit, I don't know how to swim He said in his mind, cursing herself why does he didn't tried to learn how to swim before? Well, maybe because there's no one who would teach him.

Actually, Kai had considered this scenario or possibility where the creatures would tried to extinguish the fire with the used of water. However, he quikly brushed of the thought because. If we considered how large the stomach of this creature, then, even entire lake or river isn't enough to filled this size of stomach. And base on the sound of water, it should be massive amounts , capable of atleast filling atleast the whole stomach. Why did I even considered that this creature is living on land?, that's right. Kai actually think that the creature is living on the land, not in ocean or nearer in ocean.

There's a reason behind this, a lot of those skeleton found inside the creatures stomach are looked like came from land or at least, living on the land. So he actually doesn't believe that there's a form of water body that could be used by this creatured to drink and extinguished the fire. Well I guess, I'll learn have to how to swim after this after saying those words in low toned. In the ceiling above, A drop of water fell on his hands.

After the first drop, another a dropped of water fell again but it had come with it's million friends. The young man slowly rising his face, looking at the strange- Pitch darkness. Then without saying any words, an extremely huge amount of water poured down from the sky. But Kai had already prepared about this. That's why he created a 2 barrier with the shape of square. One for him, and for Sumian. While Sumian add another augment or she buff the toughness of Silver barrier.

As for Kai, he activate the [Miracle] so the words 'impossible' could become 'possible'. Which means, if their chance of surviving is impossible, then with the used of [Miracle], it could becone possible for some reason. And without thinking any further, He create a symbol sign on his hand. Next, the square barrier is slowly changing its shape. Into something akin to arrow.

Kai planned is simple, it's one of the planned he created while laying down. after an exit on stomach had opened. he would rush through the hole that had just opened and successfully escaping the stomach. After escaping, he and Sumian would explored the inner body of creature until they found a potential exit. Actually, the characteristics of the creatures body is completely different on the characteristics of human body.

So Kai wasn't actually sure where could be find the exit to began with. But using common sense, there's five thing that can be used as exit. First of all, mouth, if a creature could eat something, then there should be a mouth. Second, atleast open wounds. Considering the size of the stomach, then it's not hard to say that the wound of a creature this large is enough for a person to exit.

Third, nose, a lot of creature like human,animals,demon, or even monster had their own nose. So it's making a sense if the creature had also nose.

Fourth, Ears, like the nose. Every creature Kai had ever been seen have ears, so this creature must also have an ears.

Fifth, and the worst choice or worst exit they would find. The anus, or in other words. A hole where we released the humans dirt.

These five are the only exit Kai could ever find, but creating your own exit is also not out of question however, that is too hard which lead him into making that as last the option.

The water quikly occupied most of the land surface, but it's still growing higher and higher. Much more the water that continuesly descending in the stomach. Then after storing enough oxygen on those sphere silver that looks like a balloon. It closed and connect on their arrow like barrier.

Afterwards, both Kai and Sumian is starts to float because of the water rising in incredibly fast rate.like every seconds, the water level is rising atleast 5m+ however, with that alone. It would take probably 10min+ before half of the stomach get filled. And with the height of those pile of mountain of bone. Then, half full is enough to extinguish those fire. However, Kai and Sumian doesn't had enough luxurious time to spare. So they will rush it, I mean, they will rush getting out of the stomach.

After that, Kai pulled out his cleared card. and muttered at strange language the passwords in low voice. Next, he entered his hand, trying to grabbed something. And after few seconds, a devious smiled appeared on the handsome face of young man. Then he slowly take out the thing he buy before.

It's One of the 'master piece' he buy on shopkeeper. The girl who's selling strange yet powerful stuff with quite few defective. And this one might have one of the most deadliest effect of all artifact I buy. He said on his mind little gritting creepiliy, after he pulled out the relics or artifact , a strange phenomena happened and he felt it, his entire body become much more heavier and uncomfortable but the young man was still smiling creepily. on the other hand. Sumian had strange looks on his face when she saw a lantern with ancient design and 6 skull surrounds the top and bottom of lantern. But strangely enough, lantern is still emitting golden light despite having those creepy thing in it's surrounding.

.....

"distinguished guess, let me introduce you to one of my master piece. [The Curse of Golden Water]" Kai had strange expression on his face when he hears the name. "What do you mean by "Curse"?" He question the young lady who's selling him her strange invention about curse, like curse is something that should be forbidden in the empire.

"I mean is what I mean. It's curse artifact like what you see on books or something. and I know what your thinking, A curse artifact is said to be forbidden by the 2nd Emperor itself. for it being extremely destructible where even the holder would need to be careful on using. And it is also bringer of destruction. But for me. Curse artifact isn't as dangerous as the 2nd Emperor is thinking. Actually the only reason why those curse artifact are causing huge destruction and stuff is because the user doesn't know how to used it truly."

I was stunned while looking on the beautiful young lady with strange mask to hide her face. His clothes beneath of cloak is that of a Young Lady of certain high nobility while her voice and hair aren't probably his true voice and hair. Because she is using something to change it. Well it's understandable given that underworld auction is one of the most alarming place in the whole continent.

And after he regained himself, Kai give it a thought first before responding "do you know that it's considered as blasphemy what your saying right now?" He said while looking casually in strange artifact that was displayed. And the young lady seemed to be stunned when he said. But she quikly answered without any second thought "wait your right. I forgot that the 2nd Emperor or 'His' Holiness. The Apostle of light and one of the 5 Great heroes of Aztecy Empire. 'He' is also one of the most holiness person who had ever live in the world. So going against 'His' opinion is the same as blasphemy."

For a moment, Kai was astonished when he heard it. After all, he only know a little bit of information about The Holy Emperor which is, 'He' is the 2nd Emperor. And that's all, unlike this young lady who knew about 'Him' being the apostle of light and one of the 5 heroes. Then he praise her "You actually knew a lot of things about 'His' Holiness huh, that's amazing."

The young lady show somekind of embarrassment for being praise. But fortunately for him, she was wearing a strange mask that giving her ability to hide his face."Not at all Hahaha, it's just I really idolize The Holy Emperor so I know one or two things about 'Him'. Btw, do you want to know what can this cutie do?" She said trying to change the topic of their conversation.

And Kai seemed to noticed it so he just smiled awkwardly because of what she said "cutie", and, not for being judgemental, Kai actually see the lantern as scary as hell. Because, of those freaking little bone engraved on it. And those gloomy but sorrowful energy surround the lantern, not only that. Even those dark wood she used as container of fire is giving him some scares.

"The effect of Curse of Golden Water isn't actually as lethal as it seemed. It's just the whole water or rather, every water it touch would turn into gold with just one drop of the fire inside. But of course, even us, human would be affected by this. Especially if our blood made contact with the golden fire, and as we know, human body had atleast made up of 70% of water so in an instant. If every single water inside of our body would turn into golden water, then it would be Really highly poisonous and can cause of our death.

And i think it's extremely dangerous because it can make every single drop of water in the entire world undrinkable. That's why, I created something that could be used to dispelled it and make the golden water normal again.

Another thing it can do is, the golden water will contained Gold characteristics , which is the bright shining yellow light with relatively high density metal. Which means, it's mass isn't something to be understimate.

Then third effect is actually the most strange one, no, actually everysingle one of my artifact I'm creating had this strange effect. Which is, they had a chance to explode.

However the prize you might pay is quite light one, which is. By letting some spirit sit on top of your shoulder but don't worry, he/she won't affect your weight or anything. Just your sense of mass.

So will you buy?"

"Of course, it might become handy in the future."

.....

"Hahaha, Sumian, looked like we doesn't need to find those hole on this creatures body. We just need to pray, and hope to survived"

Kai finds another way to leave the creatures body besides finding a potential exit or those hole. And,it js by bombing the inside of creatured body. He actually doesn't think of it before. Until the creature decide to drink water.
