138: A wall?

A wall?

While looking at the different colored doors that were attached to the giant tree, Demolus noticed that all of them had some sort of shaped hole. There were different shapes of stars, triangles, and such, while the green-colored doors had a sphere-like hole. Demolus was still holding a round, sphere-like green orb, which he decided to insert into the hole on the green door.1

The moment the orb touched the door, it flew out of his hand and landed in the hole, making all of the green doors open. Demolus didn't hesitate to enter through the opened door, as he found himself in another place altogether.

Now instead of a forest, he was standing in a dark cave-like place. The walls were wet with water, and Demolus could see some slime-like substance on the floor. When suddenly, he could hear a clicking sound from behind him, he turned his head to see an army of ants running in his direction. Demolus was surprised by the amount of ant's but he didn't see them as a threat, as he used some of the more basic magic he had learned from the books he had gained from the box of randomness.

He created ice spears, and launched them all in the direction of the ant army, which was supposedly running at him for some unknown reason. It didn't take long for him to eliminate all of the ants as he continued to walk through the cave-like tunnel that seemed to be getting darker and darker the more he continued forward. But the good thing was, that Demolus could actually see in the dark like it was day, so he didn't even notice the darkness of the cave itself.

While Demolus continued to slaughter all sorts of insects, or strange creatures that showed up in his way. On the other hand, the people that met Demolus back in the forest, were standing in front of the big ass tree. They were looking at green-colored doors that had been opened.

"Alright, let's go, no use dilly-dallying here!" Braga shouted while turning to the rest of the group.

"Sure, let's go, not like we could even leave this place, after entering this place." A young man said while rolling his eyes, but everyone seemed to ignore him.

The group entered through the door, and all of them found themselves in the same cave that Demolus was in. But unlike Demolus who could see in the dark, the people lit some torches, so they could see where they were. But the things they saw were a bit horrifying for most of the youngsters in the group. What they saw were corpses of all sorts of creatures, while some had burns, some had ice shards stuck in them, and some were just ripped apart.

Braga had to calm them down which took some time, but inside he was grateful, after all, if the creatures they saw here weren't dead. They might have been the ones to die in the hands of these creatures.

"This might have been the work of…Batman….." A youngster said, realizing how truly terrifying the dungeon was.

"Do you think that Batman is a part of the dungeon, is he like someone that guides you if you have proper manners as we did earlier?" Another youth asked.

"Oh, that might be true, maybe he is showing us the path that leads to conquering the dungeon!" A youth said with excitement in his voice.

"Or maybe he's the guardian of the dungeon, and thought that we were worthy of going further, after all, we survived in the forest for two whole days." A middle-aged man said.

And so the people that were going in the same direction as Demolus, were thinking of him as some sort of guardian. While the group was following after him, Demolus was humming a song to himself, while walking forward. His path was littered with corpses of monsters, but he didn't seem to care much as he crushed some bones under his feet, while walking.

Soon he reached a big room that resembled a ballroom, the place where people danced. Demolus looked around to see if he could find anything of interest, but sadly there was nothing of note in this place. The ballroom was big, as the walls of the room were shining with golden ornaments, there were some paintings on the walls too.

While walking around Demolus felt something he walked on the stage-like platform in the middle of the room. It was as if the gravitational pull of the stage was stronger, unlike the normal gravitational pull. He felt like it became a bit harder to walk, as he felt himself being pulled to the ground, even though he could just get off the stage. Demolus was walking on it while looking around as if the gravitational pull didn't bother him one bit.

But the gravity was increasing every passing minute he was on stage. This seemed like the best place for training, but he didn't really feel like training right now, so he sat down on the stage and continued to wait as the gravitational pull increased.

After a couple more minutes of stirring there, Deomlus felt the room treble, as some sort of large gold disk that could carry ten people on it, descended. The moment it reached the ground it stopped, and at the same moment, the gravitational pull on the stage normalized. See the golden disk Demolus walked towards it and stepped on it.

When Demolus was standing on the golden disk, it started rising as it floated off the ground. Soon they were heading towards a brick wall, while the speed kept increasing, Demolus just looked at the wall, while pondering why they were going right into a wall.
