Electus - Chapter 486

Following that tunnel, hesitant no doubt, taking one careful step after the other for the sake of not getting jumped. The strange party like voices became louder by the meter.

Finally reaching the end of a tunnel and finding another cavern, almost equal  in size to the one they left behind, the illumination here became much stronger.

Torches captured their sight, spread all around the cavern, truly revealing how big this place is.

And in the very middle, there is a group of human looking people, dancing hand by hand, forming a big circle around a fire.

There are drums on one edge and men with flutes near them, they most likely made all of that noise. Well at least now, finding out who did it makes all of this a bit less terrifying.

Taking a few more careful steps forward, trying not to capture attention, the two ladies obtain a better glance of what these things are.

Short said, in no way human. Different colours are bothering alone, for example the corpse like blue tone they saw in the previous cave, there are countless beings like that here.

They are truly hard to look at and the horns on their heads doesn’t really make it easier to the eye.

The music suddenly stops, the crowd stops along with it and something points at the two ladies, whispering. “Guests.”

Upon vision, a quarter of the beings here disappeared in thin air, as if scared of humans. Which is considerably good progress as this cavern has to hold at least 40 of these paranormal or short said, unusual creatures.

And so countless whispers echoed through the group, one thing they all have in common here is confusion.

“How did these humans get here?”

“Why is that black one so large?”

“They look kinda cute.”

“How did they make it down here?”

“The axed madman probably wants to f.u.c.k them.”

Pissed beyond prepare, Isabel steps forward, perks her sword towards the illumination and yells. “The axed madman died on my sword you diseased demon!”

And so, the crowd gasps and one of those blue skinned Demons who have a thing for ‘Margret’, stepped forward and utters. “Put that sword down my lady.”

Finally having a closer look at this species’ face, the two ladies can’t help feeling disgusted.

His mouth… well it’s vertical instead of horizontal like what humans have.

When he speaks, red teeth reveal their selves that portray blood more than bone, as if this creature ate something alive.

And it’s face, well it has no eyes, no nose and there are a couple of short horns curling out of his forehead.

Unwilling to ever cooperate with a demon, Isabel charges forward and takes a good willed swing against the demon, Iron piercing what we can call skin.

The demon’s body hurled away split in two, the physical power that a Calidum Lutum possesses is something we can never underestimate.

Blood puked and landed all over her torso once hitting the Demon and such comotion couldn’t stop the lady from thinking. “I hope this wasn’t an illusion.”

That as a topic, she hears Alia’s sweet but yet frightened tone, questioning. “Isabel, why are there two of you?”

Having paranoia about who to swing a sword against, Isabel demands. “Stay where you are, I don’t trust illusionists and might kill you!”

“Are you sure?” Alia shouts back, not quite comfortable with just sitting behind.

Bursting through the next enemy of the same species, her sword whistling before Iron met flesh, the demon’s arm fell off before Isabel answered. “Yes I’m sure, stay there.”

As for what Isabel is seeing right now, it ain’t nice. Somehow, these beings have copied almost completely how she [Isabel] looks like.

Mimicked her form so now every time she swings a sword against these enemies, it will look like the brave lady is swinging a sword against herself.

That regardless, these Demons aren’t just waiting to be killed although not attacking either, they are mostly trying to avoid getting killed.

But they can’t get too far from a lady who’s over 4 times faster than the average human, all Calidum Lutum are blessed with such extraordinary speed.

Now, she’s seeing a few of these demons leap and dive in head first through the ground, exactly like the crazy one they saw at the first cavern.

This is becoming beyond bizarre! Because these creatures have flesh, can be killed. So how exactly do they just dive in the dirt effortlessly, not even swinging a palm to dig through dirt.

But what shows even more familiarity, is every Demon who dived in the ground, sharing one sentence before disappearing. “Margret will see you soon…”

It’s odd, hard to comprehend and indeed arising anxiety by the passing second although the lady isn’t failing to shred through any demon that wasn’t quick enough to escape.

As the last of these species dived in the dirt, the illusions disappeared along with them as if switching a lever.

Isabel can see these demons now, the original form they have instead of seeing herself everywhere, which points out that those cowards can make other creatures appear like something else.

Truly powerful but it didn’t stop the massacre, with about 20 demons remaining now, Isabel sliced her way towards taller ones, specifically Demons who go by the title of ‘guardians’.

They are taller than most Demons here, the same size as Isabel, around 7 feet.

But unlike the guardians that Isabel met down in that Ignite gem cavern, these ones are far more animalistic, screaming like animals even as they ran around n.a.k.e.d, have quite a nice booty too.

After circling around in the cavern a tad bit, they make for another tunnel on the left side of the cavern, and now the only beings remaining here are what we know as Goblin Demons.

Their characteristics are easy to determine, they are short, have one eye and dark purple skin.

However Alia never met these creatures although Isabel saw them down at that Ignite castle.

Yet, neither of them know about a grand fact, these creatures tend to negotiate. One of them while running away, yells. “Don’t kill me! I have gold!”

Noticing that illusions have gone away, Alia takes a few steps forward and yells out. “Don’t kill them!”

“What? Do you want to spare these bastards?” Isabel hollers back, not breaking her glance from the 7 goblin demons she has quartered.

“I don’t love them, but they can tell us where the Dungeon of Kushraz is.” Alia spoke out a bit more calmly and the demons just nodded in agreement.

One of the Goblin Demons yells out, “We know where it is!”

“Oh do you? Sing for me then.” Isabel demands, perking her sword a hunch more forward, the tip meeting a goblin demon’s forehead.

A grand way to intimidate and so the goblins started speaking all at once.

“Left.”

“You have to swim.”

“There’s a big rock!”

“Run down and it’s after a hole!”

Thankfully they understand the Ignite language which only means that they had long human interaction.

Yet they aren’t making any sense so Isabel yells out. “Silence!”

Assertive no doubt, after everyone was forced quiet, she demands. “One of you, tell me where it is.”
