171 The Darkness (1/2)

Using a light spell to illuminate their surroundings Alicia and her group made their way down a set of stairs that led to the deepest part of the building. They could not just ignore the ghoul now that they knew about it. The thing about ghouls and one of the reasons why Alicia had felt something was wrong when entering the building was the evil air they exude. Similar to what creates demon spawns but not as bad. It would not affect people as much, only making them more irritable and get angry easier.

The group was surprised as to how deep the stairwell was going. From the ground floor, all the way to the spot that they were currently at they had already gone down ten more floors. It was not until they made it to the fifteenth floor that they finally reached the bottom. There was a large metal door at the bottom of the staircase but they did not open it right away.

Blake stepped forward and turned to look at every one. ”Before I open this door let me cover you all in a layer of light. Be ready as the ghoul inside might attack as soon as the door opens.”

With a wave of his hand, everyone was clad in a thin layer of light. This light was to ward off the effects of the evil air the Ghoul was exuding. When Blake saw that everyone had their weapons ready he turned and opened the door. But what they found inside was not exactly what they were expecting.

”Hahaha! You came! I can finally feast on your flesh!” The ghoul shouted out.

But everyone including Alicia just stood there looking at the ghoul in disbelief. Alicia even reached up and rubbed her eyes to make sure she was not seeing things. She then looked up at Blake who happened to look down at her at the same time. He then nodded to Alicia's silent question of is what I am seeing real?

It was dead silence after the Ghoul had shouted out. So quiet that you could easily hear a pin drop if one were to be dropped at this time. ”It's a head. A talking head!” Annelia was the first to shout out, breaking the silence.

”Definitely a head.” Rose also chimed in.

”You dare make the great Loeri, get all tense and ready for battle when all you are is a damn head!?” With a humph Loeri stomped angrily towards the head and lifted her foot, bringing back and thrust it forward as she kicked the ghouls head off into the far wall inside the room.

”Hey! Why are you kicking me!? Let me eat your flesh! Come closer so I can gnaw at your ankles!” The ghoul screamed.

”It's deranged.”

”Yep deranged.”
