BXBX NOVEL Chapter 41: Secrets revealed [II]
Suddly, their vision of reality changed and some kind of advanced city appeared in front of them, which surprised Luna, who remained op-mouthed.
"What?", she had received two bombshells of information at the same time: First, Theos revealed that he had the purest blood of all the gerations.
\'Does that mean he will be ev more terrifying than his father? Will he be more terrifying than his own grandmother, Atheo Von Fall?!!!\' She could not believe that in front of her stood not only an unparalleled gius of her geration, but an unparalleled gius of all history, the greatest gius of all.
She swallowed hard. \'And he… He must have the ability to see beyond, to see illusions, perhaps his left eye,\' she concluded, following Theos\' footsteps as he walked deeper into the city.
"Maybe they created all this illusion because of the help of the church, right?" asked Luna while analyzing a bit, which made Theos nod in confirmation.
"That\'s right, it\'s not a big possibility; it\'s a fact; the citizs here are not smart ough, nor is it their style to create illusionist spells," he confirmed with full confidce; he already knew all this.
\'After all, one of the story arcs is that Alan travels here\', he thought, but someone else had other, more paranoid thoughts…
\'How does he know so much? Could it be that he has come this way before, or is it that he already had all the information gathered by his family before he came here?\', thoughts and possibilities ran through her mind, which, though childish and immature, was still analytical and intelligt.
But she didn\'t ask any more for fear of upsetting him, so the two of them walked through the city.
The only sound was her footsteps echoing throughout the area, not a soul to be heard, not a conversation to be had, not ev a person to be se… Everything seemed deathly empty.
This scared Luna a little, but Theos was completely calm. "You do what you think is right," he said, making Luna nod.
"I understand," she gathered mana in her eyes and focused it on that point to clear her path. "Shadow Vision," she chanted, th felt the ssation of having a thousand views in one.
But unfortunately, there were no shadows for 0 meters a. The darkness was there, but the shadows created by the lighting were invisible, as if they didn\'t exist?
I couldn\'t ev see the shadows of the houses or buildings, as if they wer\'t shadows at all… But something else.
"Uh… I can\'t see anything, nothing," Luna reported, a little panicked.
"Calm down, it\'s normal, we\'re not in an ordinary place? They must have tak precautions," he guessed without stopping his pace.
His words calmed the excited Luna a little.
She still felt that psychological imprint wh tering the lair of those who had psychologically harmed her, a primitive fear of her mind that would not go away so easily.
The duo walked past the completely empty houses and tered a deserted place without a single dwelling.
"The floor is well cared for ceramic, if there\'s anyone they should be far away from us," Theos warned, moving a little faster.
"Understood," Luna whispered.
Minutes passed as they walked together until they came to a stone wall that seemed to have no height limit, for ev the clouds covered its top.
"They should be here" he warned, analyzing the drawings on the stone wall, feeling a little familiar with them. \'They are similar to runic s\' Theos smiled, remembering the runic s attached to his body and what he had to suffer to gain more power.
He reached out and touched one of the runic designs on the wall. Like a switch, the drawings lit up, as did his heart markings, the tire left upper extremity, and part of his neck.
The crimson glow of Theos\' markings contrasted with the dark blue glow of the runes on the wall.
*squeak*
The stone wall parted slowly as if it were a double curtain door.
"Are you or were you a member of the cult?" hesitated Luna, still shocked. \'He had oped this by touching the drawings wh they started to glow, and his neck was glowing too. It\'s too suspicious\' she thought a little anxiously.
But he did not react, he was completely focused on the op wall in front of him. Theos tered without a problem, followed by a trembling Luna.
*swosh*
Wh Theos finally tered the cave, a shadow advanced with great speed, cutting through the wind itself. But with his hanced sses, he managed to dodge the spiky shadow.
"What is that!!!", Luna was alarmed wh she saw with her own eyes how Theos was almost decapitated by a sharp shadow.
"A sword," he confirmed as he approached the shadow. With a wave of his hand, he grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled it out of the g.
"An ordinary iron sword, but quite sharp… It\'s a trap, and if it\'s already be triggered, it\'s very likely that the cult already knows about us uninvited guests," Theos smiled slightly.
"Ah," Luna sighed, but her eyes wt completely black as she activated the spell "Shadow Vision" and saw everything a her at a distance of 0 meters.
She didn\'t ev have time to see into the shadows wh footsteps echoed, not just a few, but several, more than 4, giving the feeling that it was a large group.
"A battle is inevitable," Theos declared with a carefree smile and eyes full of emotion.
