Chapter 38 - New Member Drake
After doing this I looked at the child in front of me and asked, "Hey kid what is your name"?
The little guy said in a shy voice," my name is Drake, I am 9 years and 11 months, my favourite thing is to learn and study books, but as I was an orphan I only got one book and I have learnt a spell that is reduced version of the fireball. I don't have any favourite thing to eat, as anything to that will fill my stomach will do with it, I also have learnt a technique name escape techniques".
Hearing him introduce himself up to this level I was surprised and the more I heard him talk the more surprised I became. Then I looked at him and said," show me your fireball techniques".
Drake nodded his head and then began to make a fireball which appeared on his hand was the size of a tennis ball. I nodded my head repeatedly and asked him to release the fireball on the wall.
He released the fireball towards the wall and it exploded upon impact, making a hole of 100 cm. I looked at him and then the hole and I was pleasantly surprised to look at him and said," hey good target".
Then I walked towards the wall and smashed it, which was enough to destroy the whole wall, next I found a hidden gate. I tried to open it with force but I couldn't open it when Drake said in low voice, "leader you see there in the left end, there the gate is little raised".
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI looked at the gate puzzled and said, "but why can't I see it".
Drake said," leader the place I came from, the competition for surviving is very cruel so we needed to hide our belongings in the secret place, so I can recognise it at a glance, moreover from the front, you can't see, you need to see it from sideway".
"Okay", saying that I moved towards the extreme right and saw the raised gate towards the far bottom left corner, if you don't look at it carefully you will miss the tiny details. I looked at, Drake and said," Drake you have done a good job".
Then I pressed the left bottom of the gate, then we heard the rumbling sound coming out from the gate, the door was pulled backwards and a passage was created. Most of the people looked at the passage in surprise. Even the people of the dark guild looked at the passage in surprise.
I looked at the passage and said," Mr Richard we will head towards the passage and will see if we can find something, please guard the door for the time being".
Richard nodded and said," okay, but you must be careful, especially there are traps in the secret door".
I listened to his advice seriously, then headed inside the door, Alan, Lina, Ava and Drake also followed me.
I came inside the door I saw the room, which was as big as the hall. There were monster cores filled inside the room, but in the centre of the room, an old person skeleton wearing grey robes was sitting on a chair, there was a book in his hand which was covered with dust.
I said, "you all wait here, let me go and see if there's any danger".
They nodded their head in understanding. Then I walked towards the person sitting on the chair, although dead, the aura was still there which would deter anyone from approaching him. I also started to feel the aura, which made me feel as I was carrying a ton of weight, and walking forward.
Slowly, slowly I walked towards the skeleton, my dress was already soaked in sweat, but I kept looking at the skeleton as a treasure, which improved my will and so I gritted my teeth and walked towards it.
After an hour, gradually I was crawling and then I reached near the skeleton.
The people behind, Alan, Lina, Ava and Drake looked at me with puzzled expressions while I was crawling towards the skeleton, they asked," leader do you need to crawl and go towards the skeleton".
I showed my typical sunny smile and said, "Hey Alan you see, I need to crawl is something that I don't want, but if you can come and accompany me I would treat you to a new type of fish".
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough everyone except Drake felt chill on their back when seeing my sunny smile, the desire to eat new food suppressed the thought that they have not seen my sunny smile, but looked at me with excitement and said," really a new fish".
I nodded my head with great difficulty and said," have I ever lied to you".
Then everyone also entered inside the aura field, and everyone gradually bent down, as most of the pressure was on me so they felt little pressure.
I looked at everyone and said, "Alan you will be in front, Lina behind Alan, Ava behind Lina and Drake behind Ava", saying so I added, "this will help you temper your will, as the skeleton you see is of a peerless powerhouse, his level must be within 100-120 so don't miss this chance and try to come forward slowly as it might affect your body. If your body has if you think your body has adapted then only you can move a step forward".
Alan, Lina, Ava and Drake looked at me in admiration as even I was crawling, I was still moving towards the skeleton. But they didn't know that I was looking at the skeleton like a treasure or else I wouldn't use this training method.
I reached the skeleton, the pressure that I felt all vanished in an instant, and I felt very good as if my physical fitness has risen a level. If I was given a chance to walk towards the skeleton again then now I was confident enough to walk without crawling.
I looked at the skeleton carefully, I saw tiny runes flashing from time to time and then looked at the book in the skeleton hand. I took the book and was going to read it when I remembered, there were too many monster beasts if I didn't make an extra legendary space bag then I would cry without tears. As even a Tier one beast the monster core cost from 10-100 gold coins.
So I looked at Alan and threw a space bag towards him and said," pack all the monster core, leave none".
