Chapter 3899 Cavern
I am going down fast and thank God there is energy because it is getting really hot.
So much, that it had started to burn the energy covering me.
The heat isn't a problem for me. The problem is being found out.
I could summon my armor or bring out my energy and that would protect me, but it would also make me discover.
So, I didn't do anything. I let the energy covering me burn so that soon, only 10% of it remained, and that is too burning rapidly.
It had reached 5%, and I had readied myself. The moment before energy burns, my energy will cover me.
I wouldn't have done that. If it burned me or caused some serious injuries. No, it would kill me, and it would take less than five seconds.
That is how hot it is.
Hun!
The energy reached 1%, when I sensed something and couldn't help but smile.
These people are good. I mean, really good. No wonder they were able to remain hidden for so long.
We are not the first who have come here. The organization that has this town in its domain had sent people, but they found nothing.
So, they requested Tor for help.
Just when the surrounding energy is about to disappear. The rope came and enveloped me, creating a much more powerful cocoon of energy.
If I had been an enemy. I would have panicked and summoned the armor to protect myself. Any sane person would have done it.
Even the daredevils would have done that, at least 1%, but I didn't. I acted like a truly sick person, who does not have control over their body.
A second after enveloping me. The rope started to pull me.
I didn't resist, I acted as I had been acting.
Though, in my heart. I am smiling with joy. Finally, I have found them and am quite excited to see what they have in store for me.
Soon, I reached the wall of the spring, where there was a tunnel. It is well hidden.
I have to say, it is quite ingenious.
They are using the water as a source of energy for the formation to protect against the water itself.
It had made the whole cavern very strong. Even powerful Sky Sovereign would have a hard time breaking through it.
"I know," said Beastman curtly, before taking me toward the wall, where there are big holes.
Sovereign would have a hard time breaking through it.
"I know," said Beastman curtly, before taking me toward the Thirty-two holes, to be exact.
Thirty holes are filled with bodies, and he put mine into the last one in the bottom row.
"Is he fit?" the old man asked. "A little scruff, but more than fine for ritual," replied the Beastman.
When he sent me down; the old man had also pushed the energies of the spring inside me, in far larger amounts.
His control was enough that these energies wiped away all the curse, while I went down the spring.
All of these people are like me.
When I scanned their faces, I saw I had recognized over 80% of them. They are the list of dead people, the organization had provided.
They all died in the past six months.
These cultists are smart; they are not greedy like many others. They do their work slowly and safely.
Thousands of people come and among them, they take a small number of them. Not enough to arouse any suspicion.
I had looked at the numbers of death. It was normal.
If the organization controlling this place didn't have the intelligence of cultists being here. We wouldn't have come here looking for them.
They need thirty-two people for their ritual. I am thirty-first, which means, one more is needed.
Now, the question is whether to finish them off or wait for them to gather, the last person needed for their ritual.
Which I think will make all the cultists in the town gather. We would be able to finish them in one clean swoop.
