163 Deser (2/2)

Suddenly, light appeared from two torches on the sides and like a trigger more torches in a row on the walls were being lit, brightening the long tunnel in front of them. The torches were being held by two-meter-tall sandstone statues of knights that were carrying a sword in their free hand.

The atmosphere felt ominous and the S-Fighters were looking warily at the surroundings and especially at the statures at the walls, waiting for an ambush.

From time to time a faint wailing resounded out of the stone statues. After a few tens of seconds of nothing happening, they realized that Broly was already walking deep into the tunnel. They quickly caught up to him.

”Shouldn't we try to get out?” Taro asked Broly who seemed undisturbed by the strange happenings and their entrapment.

Broly only glanced at him.

”I said we are going to stay here. It doesn't matter what awaits us inside. I am not sleeping outside in the sand. Since you couldn't open it with force and it closed on its own, there has to be mechanism. We are going to clear this temple and then somehow open the door again.”

Without saying anything further, Broly kept walking for a few minutes until they arrived at a big hall with a Centaur in the middle. To be exact a stone statue of a centaur. It wielded a long lance in one hand and a shield in the other.

Broly looked around and saw nothing but pictures carved into the wall. It depicted an epic battle of several centaurs against a small group of what appeared to be humans. Strangely the scenery wasn't a desert but a forest.

There were even giants intervening into the fight as well.

While the S-Fighters spread out, the temple started to rumble and bars dropped from the entrance ceiling, blocking their way into the long tunnel. The statues in the tunnel suddenly moved in front of the closed gate. The tunnel was 3 meters wide so the statues could stand side by side. It seemed like they were waiting for the gate to open.

The centaur in the middle of the hall started moving as well. It pointed its lance at Broly, and the shield was protecting his side. Broly turned his attention towards the centaur who was galloping towards Broly. It reached an incredible speed after a short distance. Of course, it wasn't much in Broly's eyes.

However, what was strange was the fact that the centaur wasn't touching the ground as it moved. Broly also felt an incredible amount of magic power coming from the centaur, but it was somewhat different to the magic power he was used to. It felt purer…

Before the centaur could reach Broly, Alea came in with a flying kick, knocking the centaur into the walls. The centaur used the wall to slow himself down with its leg as its body rose up vertically. It then started galloping on the walls like it was the ground, completely defying gravity.

It changed its attention towards Alea, but Taro appeared in front of it and punched it hard. They were currently in their Ascended Super Saiyan form and were vastly stronger than the centaur. Unfortunately, the centaur didn't feel pain and was made out of the same material that the temple was made.

It wasn't far off to call the centaur indestructible.

They used all kinds of attacks and it only ever slightly cracked it. Even worse, it started healing as it integrated the stonewall into itself.

Broly's eyes flashed for a second and instantly disappeared. He arrived in front of the centaur and slapped the living shit out of the centaur. Broly's hand was glowing brightly and as soon as it touched the centaur's face. Its head was blown away like brittle stone.

In the next moment the centaur was reconstructed in its original position and the gate opened. The knights waiting with the torches and swords in hand started storming inside the hall. Broly, however, was one step ahead of them.

His body turned into a green blur as he crashed directly into the first statures that were flooding inside. Broly didn't stop as he just crushed through the dozens of statures until he arrived at the gate again and the nights crumbled apart.

After the last knight fell, the gate opened again, and the knights were reconstructed in their original position.
