Chapter 194: Marking
"What\'s the matter?" Niva asked.
"Nothing, it\'s nothing, let\'s keep on going, I think I might find more than what I bargained for in here," Nessa responded as she walked away and Niva smiled then they followed her.
While walking, Nessa\'s eyes lit up green and the energy within her body began growing.
[Master, the particles within your body are acting up again, and this time they\'re getting stronger; I believe this dungeon has a lot more to do with this than we realize; are you sure you want to continue down this path?]
"Yes, I will continue; I need to find the source of all this; I\'m not sure what I\'ll be risking, but whatever it is, it\'s dangerous," She responded and Isamu looked at her, and she smiled and patted him on the head.
"Are you going to be okay, lady Nessa?" He asked as the others walked behind while being careful and finally they came to a stair and she scoffed, then looked up to where it was leading.
"Should we follow it?" Sophia asked.
"There is no other path, this place is huge, it keeps changing course and we can\'t break through it, we have to follow the path it gives us because those are the ones where the obstacles will be the hardest way to get to whatever is in here," Yonja responded.
"So shall we go or not?" Niva asked and Nessa sighed as Yonja walked ahead and they followed him up the stairs, then they which lead to a darker part of the dungeon.
A strange stench emanated from it, and their eyes widened as they saw a bunch of dark goblins ahead of them in every direction, blocking all the entrances, which were numerous, and they sighed.
\'What kid of goblins are these?\' Nessa wondered.
[Dark goblins, they are just evil and nothing compared to normal goblins, they are born of dark magic.]
"Got it.." She mumbled as they took out their weapons.
"There are a lot of them..." Cortan said.
"Yeah, there sure are, now let\'s get them out of our way, then decide which way to go after that," Ian replied and Yonja sighed as Nessa took out her whip and the goblins charged at them.
Before the goblins could touch her, Nessa\'s whip began glowing orange and she twirled as he spun around her, hitting every goblin that tried getting near her, severely hurting them and even killed a few.
The others smiled after seeing how cool her ability was and they began defending themselves as well, but they spared no goblin that came to them and each one that tried attacking them, died.
"There are a lot of them and this is starting to irritate me," Yonja said as he took a deep breath and blew so hard that it sent the goblins flying.
A barrier formed around them and within it, flames began appearing which was the doing of Ian and they burnt all of the goblins then the barrier disappeared and they sighed and looked at the last set of them and Niva scoffed.
"I hate this dungeon," She said as she attacked them and Sophia joined her and the others stood back, looking at them as they got rid of the pesky creatures.
"We are almost done with this, you guys choose which way we should go next, whether we split up or not and hurry it up," Cortan said as Nessa felt a calm, yet dreadful energy coming from one of the entrances and she knew that was the way to go but didn\'t want to endanger them.
"Guys, I think I found a good one, but I am sensing it won\'t be good things in there," Nessa said and they looked at her then sighed before smiling.
"We don\'t have much of a choice and we can\'t split up here," Ian replied.
"Yeah, splitting up is not a good idea, not at all, we will go through that very entrance you chose Nessa, pretty sure none is safe," Yonja said and she sighed before looking at the entrance.
"All right, come on, let\'s go, but be careful, I have a good and bad feeling, that\'s not..." She replied and Sophia patted her on the shoulder, then they entered the next entrance and the opening behind them closed and they jumped, then followed the hallway, to see where it would lead them.
Upon arriving at the end of the hallway, they came to an opening and their eyes widened as they stared at the view before them.
"Wow," Ian exclaimed, staring at what appeared to be a part of a forest with tall, slim rocks and strange creatures flying over them, and then they realized they were standing on a hill and gasped when they saw how high it was and knew they had to get down to the bottm in order to keep going.
"Guys, it appears that we must jump because there are no other entrances or so," Yonja said, and Nessa sighed as Isamu and Terou looked at her.
"So shall we go ahead and jump or do you guys want to take a breather?" Ian asked as they exchanged glances and Nessa looked down and saw the ground as well as huge scorpion creatures and she chuckled.
"What\'s the matter?" Yonja asked.
"Look down," She responded then they looked down and sighed when they saw how big the scorpions were.
"I bet they are not ordinary either," Nessa said.
"I bet the same thing, seems pretty bad to me," Yonja replied and she smiled.
"Yup, voted for a breather, I am going to take a deep breath first," Sophia said before sitting down on the grass with the others and they chuckled.
