Electus - Chapter 495

The few goblin demons Isabel ensnared in a corner, had their head cut off once it was made certain that neither of them gave useful information.

She was about to slay the last of them but at that second the demon started singing like a bird, went into deep detail on how to find the dungeon of Kushraz.

It was still a massive blur regarding how these demons speak the Ignite language so well, but that’s something to worry about for later as fetching the ring was the main priority.

Although the goblin demon described where to find the dungeon without a stutter, it still was confusing.

So Isabel grabbed the little bastard behind the neck, yanked his one handed battleaxe away and lifted him up, demanding. “Show us the way.”

Pushing the demon forward, they saw him point to the left side of this cavern, towards a tunnel that the two ladies fairly missed thanks to all of that commotion.

“If this is the wrong way, I will cut off your d.i.c.k and let you bleed to death.” Isabel threatened, asserting dominance for the sake of showing who the boss is.

Using it as a point of reference, Alia added. “Trust me, it’s a horrible way to go… your mouth would get parched from all the screaming.”

Perhaps they have gotten a bit dark here… but there is no sparing when it comes to the enemy and finding the ring is necessary if this continent is to survive.

“I’m telling the truth, the dungeon is this way.” The goblin demon insisted, his tone muffled by the air restricting grip around the neck.

…

With that little man from another dimension as a navigation, the two ladies made many twists and turns, had to climb down a couple of holes even.

As that ill.u.s.tratio’s journal pointed out, the caverns are complex and puzzling. Finding the dungeon would be a task made only for the most patient, or in this case for people who can find a short cut, navigation-wise.

Down here, the temperature feels lower, Alia started to shiver a bit as being 200 years around a volcano got the lady used to heat.

This can only point out that they are sinking too deep underground, has to be over 150 meters deep now.

What can make this shivering situation tad harder to handle, was the fact that this goblin demon pointed at yet another hole in the end of the cavern and said. “The dungeon is down there. It’s a big stone door, you can’t miss it.”

She gazed at Alia and questioned her, “Informative enough for you?” And carried a smirk on her face as well although the torch’s illumination couldn’t capture it.

“Yup.” The shorter lady answered, had a hunch why Isabel asked this question.

WIthout saying another word, she put in a bit more effort to lift the goblin demon and tossed him 10 feet high.

Faster than the eye can blink, the goblin demon felt a sharp pain on his waist from what reflected light before it met him.

It was a sword of course, slid through the enemy’s waist and didn’t nearly fail to cut him in half. The slice was so clean that one would think it never met skin at all, well that’s a Calidum Lutum’s strength!

The goblin demon fell on the ground, but now his body’s bleeding from more than one side as he has been cut in two, it’s graphic to describe the scene, let’s just say it isn’t pretty. But at least a quick death was provided, the enemy couldn’t even project a shout.

Poor man, expected that the trauma will end here and he could leave. Well technically it did end that way, except not how he wanted it to.

“See, isn’t it better waiting before killing them? That little man saved us hours of work.” Alia broke the cold silence after, admiring how Isabel doesn’t flinch a muscle after killing someone.

“I’m with you there, let’s get that ring and escape these mad caves.” Isabel answered with a smile, brushing the thoughts of mass slaughter she committed today.

…

The two ladies made their way down that hole of which is supposed to lead to the dungeon right after.

Climbing down was a bit of a hassle especially since the 10 feet wide hole, stretched about 50 meters long.

It seemed like an unusual place for a hole to be at which gave a hint that someone has dug it, felt man made. Well they can’t predict what happened when an old dungeon was in topic but this is unusual.

Climbing down went flawlessly, the only problem was breaking a few nails as it isn’t the easiest to climb down for a long while.

Thankfully no one kicked them on the face either which felt like a great bonus, reasons obvious.

“Would you look at that, the small bastard was telling the truth.” Alia added as they gazed upon a wide stone door.

“I’m telling you, this was a bad day for my period to start.” Isabel replied, quoting all the hard work they had to go through to get here, climbing was the biggest hassle.

Wanting to lift up the mood, Alia’s tone cracked as she expressed. “Well you didn’t let me do anything, my sister by blood.”

“Because I didn’t want you to die… illusionists can’t be trusted.” The bigger lady recalled, still gazing at the stone door.

Trying to comprehend what this stone door offered, Isabel walked closer towards it, asked for Alia to come closer with that torch and let silence stretch a little while.

She kept uttering one or two words out, trying to make sense of the carvings attached on this door.

Alia couldn’t really understand what the bigger lady wants to make out of it so she started observing just how big this stone door is.

There simply is nothing here, no cavern or alternative tunnel, just a 15 foot wide stone door, 10 foot tall.

One would easily miss this considering it’s small size in comparison with these puzzling tunnels and caverns.

Finally, Isabel uttered a full sentence. “Beware of beware… for the beware can summon beware.”

Well we can’t consider it a full sentence, to that Isabel had to add one more thing. “This is the strangest ancient Ignite carving I’ve ever seen.”

“So it’s written in Ignite… well that makes sense since Kushraz was an Ignite.” Alia mumbled with herself, realizing she didn’t say anything useful.

“Obviously we have to beware from something.” Isabel added as she finally stood up, wanting to figure out how to open these heavy looking doors.
