I slowly opened my eyes, after sensing the cold water splashing all over my body. The water feels strange because it had that strange and unpleasant smells. Another strange thing i noticed is, I haven't felt any pain all over my body even though part of my mind had already awakens.
After opening my eyes, I only saw a blurry image of an eyes, staring at me blankly and because of it. I unconsciously taken a back and a chill runs down my spine, closing my eyes again and rubbing it to erase the blurry thing. Next I open my eyes again, having the intention of confirming that eyes wasn't just my imagination.
And the sight appeared Infront of me is extremely frightening. A eyes much more larger than my own body like it had the size of 2 floor house itself and the most terrfying is, it's pupils was staring at me with blank expression, I was feeling scared. But I didn't showed it instead without any hesitation I created an extremely big sword made of silver, it's as large as the eyes and quikly ordering it to slash the eye into two.
But to my surprise, it's extremely sturdy like arock however my sword was still able to slash the eyes like a meat.. What in the world had happened? I asked inwardly, because the eyes clearly had the same sturdiness as rock but I I'm able to slash it pretty easy. Like how?, Then after the eyes had slash into two, a fountain of dark blood appeared and both of them fell down on opposite direction and a sounds of falling was created however, I doesn't noticed it because of the scene that appeared after they gone.
Am I in hell right now? I muttered on myself.
Because, countless body parts of a one big creature was scattered in the whole place, and I'm able to tell it came from the same creature because of the dark blood, dripping from the flesh. There's a lot of eyes scattering, some of them was still on the sea while the others is like the one Infront of me just few seconds ago. In the shore. Which lead me on suspecting that the creature had a lot of eyes.
Countless piece of intestine was floating on the sea some of them had still that snake like figure or had considerable length while the others become pieces. They're huge, probably bigger than the eyes which is 2nd floor house building in height. Or 3-4 meters. However they just looked quite small because of angle and degree from were I was looking.
But I'm pretty sure, it's probably 6-7 meters if I were to measured it. But that's not all, the most terrfying one is actually the countless piece by piece of bone and the flesh, flesh had those little maggots Crawling on it and greedily devouring the muscles and meat of the creatures. Unlike the ordinary maggots which had a color of white or orange, those maggots that eating the flesh of monster had the color of black, and with a frighteningly sharp teeths capable of tearing flesh apart. Those maggots was also exuding red blood endlessly.
As for the sea, it changes, from the typical blue sky or blue colored. It become dark, the water had become dark water. And on the sky. An extremely huge dark clouds are forming. Covering a large parts of sea And creating a powerful storm. Kai had no clue why does that thing had been form or what does the cause of the coming storm. But he only knew want thing. It's dangerous, for him and sumian if they still stay on shore for the next seconds or so because of storm and some other various factors like some creature with unwanted intention come at them.
I gathered a little bit of strength left on me and desperately tried to stood up. It's really hard, my knees is shaken uncontrollably like it can no longer support my body so I don't had a choice but to covered it with my silver or rather, turned my whole legs into silver and just make it moved with my own will. After making my legs silver, I was finally able to stand up straight. And a gentle breeze swept away in my fave Afterwards, I quikly gazes towards the whole surround. Infront of me, was that dark and scarry looking sea filled with bone and stuff. While at my left sides, is those body flesh and triangular tentacles, with dark blood dripping into the white sands, making it extremely dark. As for my right sides, it had the same sight as the my left. But in my back is a ancient deep dark forest. That giving me some creep, but looking closely, I felt like some human had been in there just few hours ago. So I quikly look out for Sumian on surrounding and Fortunately, she was just beside me. Sleeping warily.
Then I extend my hands, and a another hand had materialized from reality, it was made of silver and the silver hand slowly approach Sumian and after the hand is in enough distance where it can holds her. Kai order the silver hands to shake her and after receiving the order from his Lord. The hand quikly shakes Sumian and snapping her from his dream. But of course, Sumian smacked the silver hand while slowly opening her eyes.
"Why did you wake me up? I had pleasant dream you know?" She said while robbing his eyes but Kai doesn't want to waste any more time. He mold the silver hands and shape it into something akin into carpet. After that, the silver carpet envelop sumian's entire body, her only body parts that was exposed is his head. And before Sumian could react. The silver carpet starts to moved however it suddenly shakes like there's a person who just jump on it.
Sumian turned his gazes towards the person who step into carpet that encircle her whole body. But she doesn't say anything, after noticing the silver that covered his left because and right legs. Sumian quikly realized the reason. The carpet tuned it's direction and quikly flew away, heading towards the deep forest.
But of course kai had a reason why he decided to go on the forest, it's very simple. Because he noticed a human activity beyond the forest after looking at it. Well it's thanks to his Enhance reality perception. Where he could noticed the reality much more clearly. And truthfully.
Kai quikly made out their way into forest but , to there surprised. The forest isn't that huge actually, because even from the entrance. They can already tell that there's a city near on them but of course ordinary people can't do that except those person who already become higher existence.
The passage isn't actually narrowed or full of tree branches and grass even leaves like there's someone clean it before they come here. But who would it be? However Kai doesn't had any clue but the most disturbing thing is, it's too perfectly clean and it's also one of the reason why Sumian and Kai could see what the other end of the forest looks like. "What do you think Sumian?, doesn't this road is too clean? like we can't even even a sed piece of leaves in the road" Sumian examine the surrounding carefully. And she nodded in agreement. "You're right , it's really suspiciously clean like even if leaving it in just a minute or so, I doubt if there are still no leaves on it. Considering how dense this forest are"
After saying it, Sumian paused for a moments before continuing "and as you might now, I'm immune into those things as illusion or hallucination or something that could affect my external mind. So with that being said, were not under in some spell with characteristics of illusion or something related on mind"
.
"So in short, were inside of a scheme. Or something related on it, and with that human activity I saw before we came here, then our claim which is were inside of scheme had basis." [Kai]
Sumian just nodded and respond on him." But we can't rule out the possibility that there's no scheme or anything and the reason why the road is clean is because of ancient archaic incantation."
"Ancient archaic incantation?, what is that?" Kai asked curiously, to be honest I haven't heard it personality but, I felt like, I already hears it before, I can't just remember. Then Sumian glance at ne with mix expression on her beautiful face like she's not sure if am I really the heir of Azik family/clan. After that, she starts explaining to me what is the ancient archaic incantation.
"The Ancient archaic Incantation if one of the most oldest language in the entire world, it's composed of just 72 words and 36 letters. actually, it's one of the requirements to pass the test in first year examination in Scheller Academy so I really study it hard. Because of it, I had quite few or a lot of knowledge about the ancient language. First of all, The archaic Incantation is like activating a rules on surrounding or atleast bestowing a mystical characteristic on something that had the language of Archaic carve on it.
For example, that black or golden lantern you take out from your card. It was engrave with extremely intricate and fascinating Archaic language Incantation. Like the container itself, if I'm right. It had the Incantation of "No water could get inside nor air even if it's open" "The lantern wouldn't be burn by fire" "House of spirit" ----" before Sumian could finish speaking, Kai spoke making him involuntary stopped talking.
"House of spirits? Is that the reason why the lantern has that gloomy and dark atmosphere also the spirit who sit on my shoulder is one of the live in the lantern." I asked. Then Sumian replied on me with the most expected replied. "Well yes, it's one of the reason. Now let's back at the topic, if a person with enough existence grade engraved the Incantation language of "always being clean" "no leaves could fell on the road" something like that. Then it's understandable on how clean the trail is"
After hearing it, I looked again in extremely cleaned road. But now, with the Symbolism of peeker of mysteries is activated on my both eyes. And I saw nothing. There's no mysteries in surrounding except the cleaned pathway. So it mean. The road heading towards the city or something had extremely big mysteries behind it.
"So what do you think?, should we change a route or take the risk?" She asked.
[Author- The archaic Incantation word language is only very few for the reason that it doesn't had a synonym]
