Chapter 136 - Familiar face (1/2)

If it wasn't for the fact that each member of the group was carrying a light crystal with them, they wouldn't have been able to see a thing. They had long gone passed the entrance of the cave which was the only source of light from outside and could no longer tell how deep in the mountain they were.

The light crystal shined brightly and each member was taking their time examining the steel door. Just like the red door, underneath it was composed of thick steel and had a circle style pattern down the middle.

Dan was currently fiddling around with the door to see if there was any way he could open it.

”Seriously, so there really is no way to open the door apart from Ray?” Dan said as he pushed his hand on the door.

Monk and Gary had explained what had happened when they went down to the red door before. They wanted to make sure that the rest of the group was prepared for anything, especially after what had happened last time.

Dan then walked over to the edge of the cave wall where he could see the steel door sticking around it. He looked at it for a moment before hitting it with his spear.

”What are you doing that for?” Martha asked.

”Well, maybe we can dig around it.”

Dan continued to hit the cave wall by the side until a chunk of the wall came off. Underneath the chunk though was just more of the steel wall.

”It's best if you stop doing that.” Slyvia said, ”We don't know how far in this wall goes and I would hate for the cave to collapse on us.”

”Fine, I'll just leave it to Ray then.”

Ray then stepped forward and placed his hand on the door and just like last time a notification screen appeared.

As soon as Ray selected yes, the circular lock down the centre of the door, started to move. And suddenly the two steel doors moved apart into the side of the cave.

”What impressive machinery,” Slyvia said.

”How come it worked when Ray touched the door?” Dan asked as he looked towards Gary and Monk.

Both of them simply shrugged their shoulders. Ray wasn't prepared to tell the others who he really was yet or that he had this special system.

”Is it because he's the chosen one?” Kyle said as he thought back to their dragon knight meeting they'd had a while back.

”Oh are you talking about the prophecy? So maybe the divine being really is down here.” Dan said excitedly.

”Come on let's go,” Ray said in order to stop the others from talking.

Ray didn't like the fact that they were talking about him. Ray himself didn't have any clue why everything was happening and he dam well didn't want to be part of some so-called prophecy.

As the group walked towards the steel door, they could see a large spiral staircase leading downward. Their light crystals only allowed them to see so far and there was no way for them to tell how deep it was.

Jasmine and Monk started to shiver.

”This is just like last time,” Monk said.

Gary ignored the two of them and started to walk ahead of everyone else. Gary felt like he was close to discovering something big and he wasn't going to let anything get in the way of that.

The spiral staircase was long. After walking downward for half an hour, there was still no end to the staircase insight.
