Chapter 300 - The Cave And Dragon (1/2)
The snowflakes traveled along the air as it became denser. A thick fog surrounded them as the group of six continued to walk. As they ascended higher and higher up, any trail left behind including footprints were cleanly clogged, however each of them had their own way of setting their trails so they could find their way in case of an emergency.
It was a group of six and they were currently ascending the mountain together. Each sticking to one another while keeping a good distance.
The party was formed and the quest had started. The young man walked ahead of hate group as they couldn't trust their backs to him. They all knew about his identity so it was understandable. Hexo however, didn't care, he was scary and had an ominous air, but for some reason he felt little evil or bad intentions.
The formation was two-two-two. They were in pairs and in their own order special order. In the front was The young man and Hexo, The middle was the Cloaked girl and magician and at the back was the Guild Master and The Bright Sword.
Things had gone smoothly up until now, they hadn't encountered a single monster.
”This fog…” The Guild Master muttered to himself
Noticing this, The bright sword turned to him while keeping his attention focused on what was around him before asking.
”You felt it too? It's rather unnatural isn't it? It's filled with magic too, either another magician or…”
”A strong monster.” Answered The cloaked girl
'It's made to make us lose our sense of direction. But it's fine, the young man in the front has been interrupting it from doing so… He's strong and good at magic? Whats more, where the hell is his chant' The magician wondered
She continued to keep her eyes on him from behind as they continued to ascend. Another thing bothered her.
'I've heard about these types of mist attracting more monsters so why is it that we haven't encountered none? Is it his doing?' She wondered
The tension in the group rose as they continued to climb up. Hexo had something in his mind that he needed to tell the young man who wouldn't stop staring at his direction.
”W-What do you want?” Hexo asked nervously as he looked back at the young man.
The young man pulled out a box from within his cloak and handed it to Hexo, causing Hexo to be surprised for a moment, but shortly after understanding it.
”Oh I see… You want to thank me for sticking up for you. Don't, I don't deserve it. I didn't do it to help you, I just hate unfair things and besides you were the strongest one there, I sided with you to guarantee my life, that's all.” Hexo said calmly
The other four behind them heard it and felt annoyed that they were being looked down on. Hexo still continued to believe that they wouldn't stand a chance.
The young man pulled back his hand with the box on it, before shaking his head. He then placed it back into his cloak.
'What's with this guy?' Hexo wondered
They had been walking for hours and it was Ly about time that they reached their destination. The Young man at the front suddenly stopped before the fog in front of him dispersed by an intense pressure of wind.
There stood a simple wall part of the mountain, there was a hill above it, indicating that they'd have to climb up or go around. However, that wasn't all there was to it.
The group stopped and the young man continued to walk forward. They were all taking in what they had just seen. Again just like in the Guild, he used magic without chanting.
”I thought I was just imagining things earlier…” Said The cloaked girl
”But after seeing this, it confirms it.” Added The magician.
The guild master then said something which stood out and caused their attention to go back to what actually mattered
”That wall, somethings off about it.”
They then watched as the young man stood face to face with the wall, he wasn't attempting to climb it or go around it. He simply placed his hand on it, and then with a little push, the sound of shattering resounded throughout the group as the scenery in front of them changed.
