Standing in front of the lake Azreal couldn't see the other end it was almost like he was looking at the ocean.
"Any traps I should worry about?" He asked while still staring at the lake.
"Hahaha, nothing to worry about I told you this is for passing on knowledge, if you didn't have the power that resembles a beast kings then you'd have something to worry about"
Before Azreal could respond Kakar jumped in the lake.
"Let's go," he said as he came up for air but quickly dived again.
Taking a deep breath, Azreal grabbed Xavious to pull him along, seamlessly Xavious slipped out of his grip and backed away.
"Wo wo wo What the fuck are you doing? Didn't you hear what he said BEAST KING, I'm not a going down th—"
Woosh
Before he could finish Azreal tossed him in the lake and jumped in right behind him to pull him along.
'Definitely going to murder you one-day' Xavious thought staring at Azreal.
Kakar who was swimming in place saw them come down and smile before swimming deeper.
Halfway down Azreal started getting worried about the lack of oxygen but realized that his lungs weren't screaming for air.
It took them a full twenty minutes before they go down deep enough to see a magnificent structure, they couldn't see all of it because of the plants growing on it but there wasn't even one crack or any form of damage on it.
Swimming forward Kakar waved his hand for them to follow him.
Going through the entrance Kakar waited for them while writing something on the wall.
'Don't touch anything, if you take anything from the outer layer, the deeper parts will be sealed. We're going straight to the deepest part'
Reading what he wrote Azreal and Xavious nodded and kept going forward.
As they continued swimming Azreal saw several rooms filled to the brim with gold and jewels, other rooms had weapons, armor, they even swam past a library.
But neither Kakar nor Xavious gave any of these rooms a second glance.
Azreal couldn't help but wonder if all warbeasts designed their tombs the same or if Xavious and Kakar where just tomb raiders in their spare time.
Moving forward they game to split in the path, left or right.
Kakar gestured for them to stop, he explored both paths before choosing the left one, Azreal wanted to know how he chose to he went over to the wall and brushed the plants that were growing on it aside just as he was about to use his fingernail to carve out a message Kakar grabbed his hand and shook his head no.
Once again gesturing for them to follow him Kakar moved forward, holding in his curiosity Azreal followed behind them.
This path was even longer than the one from the entrance to the split in the road, going forward the path only got darker—although it didn't affect any of them— Azreal didn't like it, still, he kept his cool while holding onto Ouranos.
Soon he saw a bring light ahead, which Kakar and Xavious disappeared through it, stopping Azreal didn't rush through since he couldn't see what's on the other end, after waiting a minute he didn't hear any screams so he went through.
Stepping in he saw Kakar and Xavious wondering around, the room didn't have any water in it, the water stopped right at the entrance.
When he stepped into the room Azreal could feel a gentle aura pushing back at the water, completely isolating the room.
"The only place that's really safe to touch is the entrance anywhere else and you might trigger one the mechanism" As he stepped in Xavious spoke to him, once again Azreal found himself wondering how many tombs he's robbed and wasn't he scared a minute ago what's with this condensing attitude.
"How'd you know this was the right way"
"Stagnant water" Kakar responded while pointing at the invisible wall blocking the water "it had to be a dead end or the hall"
Looking around the room Azreal could see some faint time red lines, following them over to the source, his calm eyes reflected the same greed that Xavious who was standing beside him show as they looked into the casket.
Beast Core!!
…..
Earlier on the banks of the laker once the leader of the beast heard Kakar was on his way he quickly left the area but not before killing one of the guards that were a bit further from the others than putting one of his subordinates in his place.
He didn't start because even if he didn't release him aura an Emperor would naturally sense the danger of another Emperor if they were close enough.
"Just him, a beast king and a Savage Beast? Hahaha, Kakar, you've gotten too comfortable!"
When he got the report from his subordinate posing as a guard he laughed.
"Three of you come with me, the rest can stay In case anything happens"
Finding an isolated area they jumped into the lake, when they got the entrance and he saw the note he laughed point at it to ensure that the three following him saw it.
The greed that was in their eyes as they passed the rooms filled with treasure could swallow the world.
When they came to the split in the path, all of them were stumped, looking back and forth both paths they were sure where to go until they saw where Azreal was brushing the plants aside.
For a moment they thought it might be a trap but thinking it over none of them were close enough for Kakar to sense them previously.
Agreeing amongst themselves they followed the path.
