Chapter 43:A scared magician and mean deity... (1/2)
The Underground Channel entrance located at the west side of the city, under the bridge, and near the river-dam that streaming steadily towards the end. On the opposite side of the entrance, there was a big dumpsite area that could be seen a little distant from the river-dam. The place was known as West District.
At the dumpsite, he could see some smokes that were flying towards the sky and resembles the clouds as they continued to hover higher.
After Yman stepped in the entrance, he asked his deity to activate the radar.
Sistela replied:
He said: ”It's not sudden. It's better to have a perfect mapping from the entrance towards the farthest area that we can reach.”
She questioned him.
He scratched his face and replied: ”Don't worry, we sure to leave the place before it happened.”
Hearing what he said, she resigned then followed what he wants and activated the radar without further retorts.
But she really was worried if she emptied her battery. Because when the battery of the deity was emptied, it also means disconnection with their resonance.
Ding! Something materialized...
12 inches in height and wide window screen reflected in his eyes as it animated before his face in a holographic manner. It was sending luminous brilliance around and slightly illuminating his face and the place.
Inside the screen was a tiny dot of green color. Around it was shaded in darkness, but as he was advancing slowly, the inside of the screen, around the tiny green dot in the holographic screen was slowly forming a map outline that resembles the place he currently in.
The radar had a distance of a 10-meter radius surrounding him. Only within this area the shaded part that was surrounding the green dot was contorting automatically to form a map outline of the unexplored place he was strolling.
Yman slowly dragged the screen on his upper-left side to avoid distracting his vision. Currently, it was floating on the left side, above him. This thing was no doubt his Map Section from his Cyber Screen.
Tak-tak-tak...
The deliberate sounds of his footsteps that slightly echoed the inside of the channel could be heard by the person itself. And sometimes droplets of water from the distance ceiling tickled his ears, sending chill in him which causes his body hairs to stand upright.
Yman was walking in such a place. His hand was gripping the hilt of a sword with odd size. His face was covered by a mask and his body similarly covered by a piece of cloth. He was wearing a pair of brown boots on his feet, which produces some noises whenever his boots landed on the dirty pavements inside the channel.
His trusted partner whispered in his ears out of a sudden.
He smiled wryly and said: ”As you can see, this place seemed to be a scene from a horror movie.” Yman replied to Sistela and darted his eyes while cautiously scanning his surroundings.
He tried to sound as normal as he could while seemingly unbothered by her question to avoid her from noticing what he truly felt at the moment.
Although there was only darkness around him, it was manageable to see because of the illumination from his Map Section. He could even define the complexion of everything around him.
Sistela asked after noticing his a little quickened heartbeat.
”Of course, not! Maybe you!” Yman strongly denied and throwback the words. He was wondering why this deity of him bothered asking him unnecessary things.
”Then, that's that.” He intentionally shrugged off the topic. Though his breathing was steady, Yman was really scared at the moment. Under the mask, he wetted his drying lips.
