"We have left the illusory array." Said Alisha after two hours of walking.
The cave system was much larger than the group originally imagined, each tunnel was covered with illusory barriers that pretended to be walls, hide traps ...
Thanks to Alisha's help, the group was able to cross all the obstacles until arriving at a huge cave.
After going through the last tunnel, the cave expanded to the size of a football field, the room was reinforced with a shiny metal, everything seemed to indicate that this room was safe from collapsing on them.
"What is this place?" Asked Alisha, but everyone was distracted to answer her question.
"...!"
There, in the middle of the room, a huge beast was tied to the walls, the chains were so stretched that the room trembled with the slightest movement from the beast!
"..."
When the tremor hit, the walls began to glow and all impact disappeared!
"It seems that this room was designed to lock up this beast..."Whispered Liann as she maximized her guard, although the beast was chained, who knows what method it could use to kill everyone here.
Sniff...Sniff!
"Two demons and two half blood...what brings you to my humble residence?" Asked the enormous beast as it tried to accomodate itself.
The beast had a beautiful white fur, although it gave off an aura of elegance, its muscles showed that it not only looked pretty but could tear anyone within its range!
If Rainer should describe it, he would say it was a nine-tailed fox!
His sharp muzzle, pointed ears and crimson pupils were hypnotic. behind the fox, nine white tails with crimson tips swayed as little as the chains allowed them.
"..."
The group was motionless, the pressure that the beast released inhibited their body control!
"Oh, what a lack of manners from me, I haven't introduced myself yet. You can call me White Faust... "Said the beast.
"...I am Rainer."
"...Alisha..."
"Xarcas!"
"Liann."
The group regained control over their bodies and introduced themselves to Faust.
"Now that we're finished with the presentations, it's time to talk about your business with me!" Exclaimed Faust.
"We don't have any..." Replied Rainer, they ended up in this cave due to a myriad of circumstances.
"Fate decides everything, the fact that you have arrived to me means that our meeting was predestined. I have been imprisoned here for more than a thousand years waiting to complete my duty and you are the only ones who have come this far!"Faust roared as it tried to get up, but the chains blocked it and it fell on its own weight.
Boom!
A gale swept through the room, Rainer and the others had to stand firm to avoid flying away.
"I was on the top of this world a thousand years ago, only a few beings could challenge me, but after their arrival... everything went from bad to worse... "Faust seemed to be narrating the same story as Jehako.
"But that's another matter,a mill cannot grind with water that is past.After my defeat, my own followers betrayed me to save themselves and then sealed me in this cursed place! If it weren't for the totem that the God of Beasts gave me for protecting this world... I would have died centuries ago... " Sighed Faust.
"Is there a God of Beasts?" Asked Alisha, it was the first time she had heard of such a thing.
"You brat, everything in this world has its own God, the water, the earth, the fire... all were given to us by the Gods, even your life was given to you by the God of Beasts, which is why you look like a beastmen even though you are a half-blood. "Faust seemed to know a lot about things the group had never heard of.
"Huh...I was the Oracle of my race, our God spoke to me and I delivered his message to the masses. But one day I stopped hearing his voice, the last thing he gave me was a totem and some words I didn't understand back then..."
"What did he say to you?"Asked Rainer.
"...He's coming...that's all, he just told me that..." Faust seemed to be overwhelmed by sadness when he talked about how his God abandoned him.
...
Everyone remained silent until Faust sighed and continued.
"If you have come this far with only a few wounds, it is fate that has sent you to me. One of you must be the one to inherit my totem and continue my duty!" Shouted Faust as he rose, the chains of the room tightened even more to his body, but he ignored it as he looked closely at each of them.
His gaze rested on Xarcas, the ape, noticing Faust's gaze tried to look tough by flexing his muscles.
"Definitely not this one..." Said Faust as he looked at Liann, leaving Xarcas crying in a corner.
"Mmm...good talent and skill, but you are not the right one, others have already set their sights on you..." Said Faust.
"What does that mean?" Asked Liann confused, others had their eyes on her...
"Your fate is not to inherit my power." He replied.
"...!"
When his sight landed on Rainer, Faust was shocked!
"Hahahahahaha...boy, you and me are very similar... "Faust just said that before he laid his eyes on Alisha.
"You are the less qualified to inherit my power, you are weak, cowardly and you depend on others...I only needed one gaze to discover everything about you." Said Faust before closing his eyes, he seemed to be pondering his decision.
"Wait!" Shouted Alisha before Faust spoke.
...
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
