A gigantic waterfall appeared before them. It let out a hazy mist all around the surroundings and poured out great streams of water into a pool on the ground.
It was a mysterious and majestic sight. While Alex’s companions looked at the marvellous scene that was enough to make one breathless, Alex pointed directly at the waterfall and yelled with spirit.
“That’s our destination.”
“Take a look at the scene.”
“In front of us, there is a hidden and unknown place which might have huge amounts of treasure in them.We are going to raid and squander it.”
“Follow me and prosper.”
Cough…Cough…
Hearing Alex’s words, loud coughs resounded all around.
Noah looked at Alex with an embarrassed expression and said”Aren’t you getting too deep into roleplaying.”
“I am already ashamed to wear a mask and black hooded robes and now you are speaking as if we are bandits raiding the unknown place without the other party’s permission.”
Alex shot him a glare and said”Isn’t that what we are doing?”
Noah choked and felt a deep headache.
His mask which makes him invisible uses loads of mana and is unsuitable when fighting.At the current moment he wished to hide himself from this situation using the mask.
Alex first observed the area using his map while looking for all signs of threat and dangers.
After analysing certain things, he took the lead.
To reach the back of the waterfall, Alex and his companion had to cross a narrow path on the cliffside connected to the area at the back of the waterfall.
The path was too narrow for them to pass easily. Moreover, they were taking a detour and moving in a roundabout way.
They could have also taken a shortcut which was to jump into the lake and swim across the waterfall but that would waste too much energy.
There were many boulders and protruding rocks on the narrow lane but Noah took charge to clear them.
Masses of boulders started to float up and stuck to the cliff side making new paths for them and as soon as Alex and others passed, they soon returned to their original position.
More rocks rose up and then returned to their place. They continued this way and finally reached back.
As Alex passed through, drops of water splattered on him. Alex let himself soak in the water and enjoyed the freshness of the water which lightened his nerves before the battle.
“We are here.”
Noah took a step back as soon as heard Alex’s hoarse voice. He could feel the change in Alex’s expression which means Alex is going to be serious now.
“I can hear the hollow trickling sound but I can’t see the cave,” Noah muttered.
“It’s sealed from the outside, “Alex spoke while running his finger across the thick sturdy and stony wall.
He unsheathed his sword and asked others to raise their guard.
Alex placed his left hand on the rock and twirled his finger.
The wall before him started to shake and a hole large enough for a human to enter appeared before them.
They walked inside the hall whose insides were damp and humid. It got worse as they walked further inside.
The dampness eventually subsided and the cave’s bumpy floor was soon replaced by stony slabs that made them easier to walk.
A large door appeared before them which was engraved with strange symbols giving it an ominous look.
Noah shuddered as he felt the eeriness behind the door.
” Open it!”Alex muttered.
Two knights who were dressed in black robs pushed the door slab. The door was quite heavy and it took a while for them to open.
Between the gaps of the open door, a huge pathway leading to many passages appeared before their right.
“It looks like a maze,” Noah said and ordered his man to stay close so that no one would be separated.
All of them had worn a bracelet which could help one to lead to the other in case any of them went missing.
“Be on guard-.”
Noah wasn’t able to finish his speech when Alex’s figure darted forward and swung his sword.
Swish!
Alex slashed the attack and he stepped forward with a smile”What a warm welcome.”
Stomp!Stomp!Stomp!
The ground started to shake and they looked ahead as they heard the footsteps of many walking towards them.
“What are they? It can’t be human as their steps are too loud and heavy?” One of the men behind them spoke while raising his bow.
Through the lightly lit passage, red dark glittering eyes shone. The thing didn’t attempt to conceal itself and marched towards them heavily.
“Golems!” Noah spoke with a twisted expression.
“I have never fought with a golem properly,” Alex spoke with an amused expression.
Yvonne had many golems for Alex to toy around but Alex had only used them to spare and hadn’t fought them seriously.
Instead of Golems and themselves, Alex was worried about the material,they were made up of as if they were made of some great material, Alex wasn’t confident that he could cut through them.
“The core seemed to be made of mithril and seemed to be protected by something,” Noah said and observed the Golem.
“These golems might be quite precious then.”
“I have only seen weapons made by Mythril in the hands of great warriors.”
As they murmured, Alex looked at Wilford and said”Isn’t your sword made of Mithil.”
Willford nodded and raised his chin proudly wanting to show the magnanimity of his master.
“That’s good then. If my sword breaks, I will ask for it.”
Alex spoke and leaned his body forward.
Taking a deep breath, he channelized his mana and stomped the ground heavily to charge forward with great speed.
BANG!
Alex coated his sword with his aura and muttered”Let’s test them first.”
Reaching close towards the first target, Alex aimed for the place where the core was located and stabbed his sword.
