55 Ux Bahamuti (1/2)

Zatiel, Ezequiel and Sophia together with all the members of the kobold race, worked tirelessly to reconstruct the tunnel that connected with the cave under this mountain. Kobolds were known for their abilities in mining and excavation and with their spells Zatiel and the other two were able to remove tons of earth, but even so, making a tunnel that long was very hard, especially taking in consideration that they had to make sure it will remain stable for years to come and big enough that even a grown dragon could pass through it.

After a week of hard work they finally manage to reach the area that Rax mentioned, it was one kilometer long and 100 meters tall, just like the old kobold said, and although it was completely dark, kobolds have night vision.

Once they reached this place, they remain working, after all, this place was predisposed to collapse, so they continue working removing all the loose earth until a solid surface was all that remained and Zatiel used some basic earth spell to compress it making sure it will stay that way, before generating immense pillar that connects from the ground to the ceilings.

Once this part was completed Zatiel start to work on some runes, and the rest of the kobolds together with Sophia and Ezequiel continue expanding and solidifying the foundation of the cave generating little tunnels that will connect to the surface and will allow air to enter this place.

By the time they ended this underground place was a 1.4-kilometer long and 120 meter tall with a 20-meter wide tunnel that connected to the surface, the earth on the wall was extremely compacted and a metallic shine was in them, pillars grow up from the earth and connected to the ceiling, it was by all standards a suitable living place.

But it was not over, once Zatiel saw the work on the earth was finished, he started to inscribe runes all around the place, filling the walls with inscription of beautiful color, and it included everything, even the passage to the surface, these runes made the wall extremely sturdy to the point it could resist the attack of a rang 1 being without problems and most importantly if the consciousness of anyone reached the area cover by them, the only thing they will see was some rocks covering everything. The center of this rune formation was in a corner of this cave and as long a rank 1 being injected all his energy for half a day it will work without a problem for a week.

”Rax, we have finished, bring the Arachne here and tell all of them to go up to the surface and not go down unless they are called.” Zatiel assesses the place and after making sure it will work, he gives an order to the old kobold.

”Yes leader, you hear him, all of you must remain in the surface and stay there no matter what,” Rax was serious as he gave the order and all the kobold leave the place, even Kylo who had Tao in his arms left. After making sure they all retired, he reached for the Archenee and bring him to Zatiel.

This poor creature has live hell this past month, due to his vitality as a rank 1 being, his extremities and injured were healing continuously but every time it happens a kobold came and once again beat him to the point he was about to die before ripping apart his growing extremities. It reached the point that the poor Archenee had already give up on life and the only thing he wanted was to die, which was reflected in his unfocused eyes. Still, no one felt sorry for him, as the hate of the kobolds was immense and every time they harm him they did with a smile on their faces.

Zatiel put the Arachne over the runes and initiated the ritual, and just like with Erick, due to the target being a rank 1 life form the monstrous abyss mouth formed again.

The moment it appears, Rax felt immense fear coming from his blood, due to his enhancement in his atavism, his bloodline was able to improve his sense and it was telling him that the thing in from of him was a monster beyond anything he could imagine, his will had made great progress but even so, his body was trembling and he could not help but distancing himself from the disgusting mouth until he was 500 meter away and yet the fear was still present almost paralyzing him and forcing him to roar so his courage would return.

Sophia and Ezequiel saw the reaction of the old kobold and were surprised, even now the pressure they felt from the thing in front of them was great but still, even when they were at rank 0 their reacting was not that exaggerated.

”It is normal, what were are seeing in front of us is a true part of the consciousness of the abyss that has reached all the way to the Magi World, before, you two were not too affected, because the nature of the core we can be considered a sort of child of the Abyss, so it didn't target you and all you had to withstand was a collateral effect of his presence, but to Rax is different, he can be considered a dragon by this point and to the Abyss, dragons are a delicious meal so his reaction is normal if his will was not strong enough, he would have passed out or worse,” Zatiel saw the old kobold sweating cold from the fear, but he just continue with the ritual.

The disgusting and deformed mouth opened to the point all his twisted teeth could be seen and from a single gulp, it devoured the Arachne before spit out an immense amount of liquid abyss aura and disappeared.

When the abyss consciousness vanished, Rax almost crumbles to the ground and he was still shaking. After a couple of minutes, he was able to get himself together and walk out to Zatiel.

”I'm sorry leader, for that shameful reaction,” Rax was truly disappointed with his actions, after his power up and the enhance in his will he was starting to think that he was truly strong but when he saw that `thing`, he realized that he was being foolish.
