9 Chapter 9:Hero’s Chronicle, Underground Labyrinth (2/2)
The shocked Mayuri and Rain looked at the giant who was just barely reaching the surface.
Glass looked at the giant sadly. The bubble burst the moment they touched the surface. ”Both of you get ready.” Glass said as shadow-like creatures started to come out of the ground and ushered weirdly towards them at frightening speed, surrounding them completely.
”Miss, let us handle them, we are more than capable just the two of us” Rain said bringing out his twin daggers.
”No just me is enough” Mayuri countered and smashed a green bead on the ground before bringing out her daggers. The dark surface turned into a field of green grass, and then giant man-eating plants sprang into action eating the shadows. She then turned her face to Rain and gave him an arrogant glare, awakening Rain's competitive spirit.
”….” Glass stared emotionlessly as she sat down by a nearby rock.
Satusko was already in her hand just in case.

Glass relaxed somewhat as the shadow warrior's levels are about in the 200 or so. Satusko, however, was starting to vibrate as if it wanted to fight to. Glass held tighter on the sword to calm it down as she watched Mayuri and Rain take down shadows one by one. They seemed to be enjoying themselves. She laid her head down on the rock as if she was comfortable and yawned covering her mouth
'I'll let them play for a little longer.”
She thought before going to sleep.
It had been an hour before Mayuri, and Rain realized the shadow wasn't ending anytime soon. Exhaustion did not hit them entirely yet, but it was obvious they were tired. Rain glanced at Glass who was comfortably still sleeping, the shadows didn't even try to attack her. Before turning his head back and focusing on the shadows. Mayuri eventually turned her head toward Glass a little while later, she saw that her Miss was sleeping and blushed slightly. She stopped in a daze as she stared at Glass and then realized she still needed to finish the shadows off.
A few more hours went by at this time Mayuri and Rain were exhausted. They were breathing heavily but the shadow-like monster's don't seem to be stopping.Until before them they all of a sudden were cut in half.
Smash, they both heard something break.
Mayuri and Rain looked behind them as Glass was already walking toward them with something other than Satusko in her hand. It looked like a mirror.
Glass was still somewhat sleepy as she walked toward them.
'Did you two have fun?' Glass thought as she nodded before moving forward to the sleeping giant.
Glass looked at the face of the giant who was surrounded by moss and mold his shell was slightly creaked everywhere. the Snakehead laid peacefully its eyes looking straight at its partner and them to the visitors
”Children of Man, why have you come to disturb this old one's rest” the elder Turtle with telepathy.
”To watch your end,” Glass said bluntly with shocked Rain and Mayuri who didn't know if they could beat this giant turtle.
”Do you wish to fight us, Child” the female voice of the snake held said calmly without a hint of displeasure. ”You do not feel violent nor a wish to kill us, yes”
”Yes, I do not” Glass looked at the said face of the snake end. ”I only wish to be here when you die.
”I see” the female snake-head said before laying her head back down softly on the ground.
Glass looked at the two behind her before pulling out three cots and a campfire starter. Once everything was in place, she laid down and went to sleep. Rain didn't waste any times as he went to sleep on another cot. Mayuri stayed awake a little longer to admire Glass sleeping before she joined them in sleep.
Once both of them were fully asleep, Glass got up.
”Child, you are of man. But your soul is not.”
Glass looked straight the tortoise who spoke via telepathy.
”You are similar to us are you not” the female snakehead said
Glass smiled slightly
”But, that…”
”why are you really here?” the female snakehead said cutting off her partner.
”For them” Glass said
”Not for yourself?”
”No”
”Why, we could cure you”
”No, you can't it would be a waste. You would only be able to suppress it for a few more years or so.”
”….and they”
”I only want you to support them as your champions when you descend back into the heavens”
”…..”
”We can do that” the tortosie said.
