Heavenly Monarch - Chapter 140
Looking at where the invisible wall is, Ellis couldn’t help but pick up a stone and throw it ahead.
” and what do you think doing” asked jenny.
” nothing of the important, I just had the urge to throw it” replied Ellis
” so any ideas on how we are supposed to get inside,” asked Ray but unfortunately for him, the two just shook their head.
“I can’t believe that we have finally found the treasure only for us not to have any access to it,” said Ellis with a dispirited face.
“How wish one of us knows one or two things about formation then things could be so much easier” added jenny with a sigh.
They sat on the ground feeling helpless when an idea hit Ray as he stood up and unsheathe his blade from the scabbard and see this frighten Ellis out of his wit.
” what are you doing,” asked, Ellis.
” I got an idea on how we can get inside though I am not sure if it is going to work” replied Ray as he stretched his blade forward away and begin to walk.
” I think could also work, damn why didn’t I think of that,” said Ellis to himself as he watches Ray proceed forward.
” who would have thought that a barbarian could sometimes come up with a good idea” added jenny.
After taking three steps forward, Ray blade finally came in contact with the wall. Moving to the side while moving his blade as it was still placed on the floor in search of an opening.
” wait, what if we cant go inside after he had eventually found the opening,” asked jenny.
” we will have to wait until that time before deciding what our next move would be” replied Ellis as he continues to watch.
Moving the blade around while walking in a circle, one would have thought that he has gone mad if they don’t know what’s happening. Trying different angles, Ray was finally able to find a space, moving the blade around to space to see if it could fit a person before turning to face Ellis and jenny while holding the blade in place.
” hey Ellis, do you mind going through where my blade is pointing at,” asked Ray while holding his blade upward.
” Not a problem as long as it can get us inside I don’t mind but, why did it have to be located at that height, does the creator intended to let his treasure rot here or what” complain, Ellis, as he takes a step forward.
” maybe the owner wants whoever finds the map should think outside the box if they ever want to get their hands on his treasure” replied jenny.
” them it is a good thing we have someone like Ray along else we were could only dream of going back to the clan,” said Ellis.
After getting close to Ray, Ellis stood still as he lifted his head to look at where the blade was pointing to as he began to hesitate when looking at the height.
” Hey man, you know I can’t hold on like this forever so do you mind getting this done before my hand falls off,” said Ray while looking at Ellis with a smile on his face.
” Okay, it just a little scratch if I fall from that angle and nothing more” mutter Ellis as begins to build his confidence.
” hahaha, I can’t believe you are scared of actually getting injured and you have been boosting about having a strong body, what a joke you are,” said Ray as he started to laugh at Ellis.
Ignoring Ray’s mockery, Ellis took a deep breath before pushing himself from the ground as he started going up with his eyes close as he tries to prepare himself for the upcoming pain only for him to disappear.
” did it work,” said Jenny as she focuses her sight ahead to see what happened next.
It didn’t take long before Ellis yell reaches their ears from the inside.
“Yes, it works” replied Ray with a smile.
Looking around where he was, Ellis was shocked to see that the whole place was sparkling clean like someone has been living within it. Getting up from the ground, Ellis turns around to look at where he came from only to see that he came through the window.
” looks like the door was locked all along,” said Ellis as he rubs his head while still feeling a little pain from the fall before walking to the window.
” This whole place is seen to be buried underground,” said Ellis as he makes his way to the window.
While Ellis was busy observing the inside, Jenny was busy preparing to go in but before she could take a step closer, Ellis finally sticks his head out through the window.
” It was the window that I went through, Good thing that I have lost some weight else I would have been stuck between,” said Ellis with an awkward laugh.
” so how was it, were you able to find any treasure,” asked Ray with a smile on his face.
” not yet bandit” replied Ellis with a laugh.
“then what have you been doing inside all this while,” asked Ray in anger.
” if you really want to know then is better you come up here and see for yourself” replied Ellis with a smile.
Not wasting any more of her time, jenny went ahead and was just about to jump when Ellis warned.
” I will advise you not to do that unless you want to bump your head on the ground. And believe me when I say it really is painful”
” then catch me then” replied jenny with a charming smile on her face.
Returning with a smile, Ellis held his arm out as he waited for her to grab it before pulling her up.
” Alright my man here I come,” said Ray as he placed his blade back into the scabbard.
Turning to face with a cunning smile as he said.
” I think you can help yourself with that since it just a little bump right”
When he heard the words that came out of Ellis’s mouth, Ray suddenly had a change in expression since he was the one that started it.
“But I was only joking then I never knew you would take it personal” replied Ray.
” so am I which is why I am going to stand here and wait for you to know where to enter,” said Ellis with a chuckle as he waited for Ray to jump.
Taking a deep breath, Ray took a step back before running forward and jumped inside and thinking that he was ready for any mishap but to his surprise, the moment he made it past the window, he continued to descend with Ellis standing by the side with a happy expression on his face while jenny was sitting on the stairs that lead to the window.
Taking out his blade from the scabbard, Ray sent out a wind slash when he was getting close to the ground as he was hit by the wind that came from the attack which pushed him up a little giving him the time to balance himself as he performs a little somersault before landing.
” ha, how do you like that huh” yelled Ray with a smirk on his face.
The moment he yelled out, his voice echo in the whole place which cause jenny to throw a stone at him.
” Would it kill you if you quiet down, must you put us in trouble over such matter?” said jenny with an angry look on her face.
” There is nothing to worry about in here, so stop throwing things at me will you” replied Ray.
“Have you tried looking around before yelling like a beast?” asked Ellis as he walks down the stairs .
Now that Ellis has mentioned it, Ray finds the place kind of neat for a place that has been abandon for many years unlike the cottage where there are so many cobwebs all over the place with books filled with dust but here everything is so clean like someone is leaving inside.
” Are you sure there is no one other than us here in this strange place?” asked Ray as he turned to look at the others?
” that’s is what we are about to investigate before you started shouting” replied jenny taking a deep breath to calm herself.
” I am sorry about that, I was just too excited to put a certain person to shame,” said Ray with a smile.
” you are just lucky you have some control over the wind element else I wonder how your condition would turn out to be” replied Ellis with an angry look on his face.
” I would have also survived that without getting injured,” said Ray with a light chuckle.
” can you guys quit all this nonsense and focus on the matter at hand,” said jenny in annoyance as she walks past them.
The two decide to put an end to their quarrel and follow jenny as they follow the only road that is in the room they are in.
