I’m The supreme Fairy King - Chapter 230: Another Pit

The edge drew near with each passing second. Jim wasn’t feeling less intense than anyone around, yet all were laughing and talking like they were having a walk in the park.

And he was only stressed and nervous.

“Get ready,” Hector shouted the moment the edge was only on top of their heads. “It’s do or die folks, let’s see what you can do up there.”

“Boom!”

The next moment the jelly was forcibly ejected off the pit and slammed on the side of the walls up there. “Jump!” Hector shouted and the next moment everyone followed his lead.

And they stood with their backs to one wall and the front lied the pit and the far away entrance of the cave.

And that entrance was now masked totally by intense darkness.

“Keep doing your job,” Hector said to Jim, “you, you, and you go with him. Don’t leave his side no matter what.”

The three he selected nodded and they were all giants compared to Jim. Jim didn’t stop in his place and started to run deeper into the cave.

“This cave is deeper than I thought!” he marveled at this point while running for a minute or two.

He thought the pit marked the end of the cave, but obviously he was mistaken.

One of the three guards assigned to him by Hector took out a lightning orb and threw it hard towards the depth of the cave. “My name is Reg, this is Tom and that big one over there is Larry. If you need anything just scream.”

Jim nodded before Larry added:

“The caves in this part of the forest are all so deep. Each half a mile a pit existed, and so we are heading to the next pit.”

“Mark my words boy,” Tom said in a deep voice, “the pits lying deeper than the first one are all scary. The monsters there are far worse than the ones we are facing. So stay sharp and be alert, the ancient fairies only know what lies in that darkness.”

Jim swallowed his cold saliva while nodding in a gratified face. He glanced at the part of the cave that was now partially illuminated under the lightning orbs Reg kept taking out.

‘Just stay sharp and don’t mind anything else,’ the old man said, trying to comfort him, ‘monsters in each pit don’t differ that much than the ones you faced before. They won’t get out of the pit no matter what.’

Jim became a little reassured when he heard that but he still was worried and nervous. He kept running while the resistance he felt from the lizard kept growing steadily.

“This is it!” Hector’s voice came from the front attracting Jim’s attention.

“They are facing the dark hunters now,” he muttered.

“Don’t worry about the boss, he can handle the hunters alone,” Reg said, “‘but the problem lies in those monsters.”

“They never step outside the pit and we don’t know why,” Tom said with his deep voice, “I believe this might be our first time seeing one of them stepping out of the pit with its real body.”

“Swoosh!”

Just as the four were busy with the front, Jim felt something drawing fast towards him in the darkness.

“Watch out!” he screamed, yet he was a little too late.

“Boom!”

At this moment the fight at the front started in an intense way. The first monster stepped outside the pit followed by dozens more while a group of hunters jumped on Hector and his friends, and also over the monsters.

Yet Jim was busy dealing with the new threat coming from the back.

“Stay put,” Reg shouted before hurriedly taking out his sword and cutting the long and thick brown tentacle.

And the next moment Jim felt the strong power that suddenly got his leg vanished.

“Be alert,” Tom warned, “they never come as a single tentacle.”

“I know,” Jim took a deep breath while glancing all around.

“Have you faced one of them before?” Larry asked.

“Just one,” Jim shortly said before shouting, “more are coming.”

“We got this,” Reg moved and the other two stepped to stand in front of Jim who had to stop his retreat.

Reg was very experienced in dealing with such tentacles, however the more he killed the more tentacles appeared.

“They are stubborn,” Tom said, “something must have drawn their attention.”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Explosions kept raging wild from the place of the first pit. “The monsters coming outside might be the reason for that,” Jim couldn’t help but say, “we need to end this fast.”

“Follow us,” Larry said in a strong tone, “we won’t let anything happen to you no matter what.”

“Stay behind us,” Tom said, “or else it would be hard to protect you.”

“Just keep moving,” Reg shouted, “they are getting bolder the more I cut their parts.”

Jim started to move again and this time his speed was even faster than before. The three around him seemed so stressed and in less than a couple of minutes they all got entangled with many tentacles.

“Help them!” Jim didn’t have the option here to fight with them so he shouted at Don who kept sticking to his leg like a parasite.

Don raised his head up as if he was asking to confirm what he just heard.

“Just use your strongest attack,” Jim said, “release the good luck on us and curse them with bad luck.”

“Roar!” Don roared without needing to leave Jim’s side. His roar seemed quite energetic, fiercer and louder than before.

“Good boy,” Jim praised while feeling the entire cave trembling all of sudden.

“What’s going on?” Reg asked in distress, “is it the time for an earthquake?”

“Take cover,” Jim wasn’t worried at all like them, “this is going to be slightly hard.”

The next moment the ceiling of the cave started to rain down rocks in different shapes and sizes.

The world around trembled and many rock pieces started to strongly hit the ground without mercy. They crushed anything on their way, yet luckily they missed the entire team of Jim and landed all the way over the large number of tentacles.
