Jim glanced at that gigantic monster that had a cylindrical body. In this darkness he couldn't spot all of its features quite well.
However he was certain that it shifted its gaze towards him the mont he activated his spell.
"He... noticed ," Jim said.
'Of course it did,' the old man cursed again before adding, 'fairies killed most of its kind. It has a deep grudge against you.'
"Then what?" Jim turned to the distant cave opening, "should I lure it out?"
'It won't follow you that much,' the old man sighed, 'it's tentacles are all inside that pit. Those disciples... they just are unlucky.'
"All of them?" Jim was shocked.
'They won't see what's coming to hit them... That Hector must have recognized this monster in so way. So he didn't say anything about it.'
"It's weird," Jim muttered.
'He is just trying to protect his friends, that's not weird.'
"No," Jim shook his head, "if he wanted to do that then he would ask us to leave the entire cave, right?"
The old man went into silence for a minute before Jim thought about what happened again. "He must know the weakness of that monster."
'There is none!' The old man firmly said, 'He's considered one of the top assassins in our world.'
"No, Hector won't send us in that pit without a reason," Jim thought before muttering, "the ores... are they the ones he wanted us to find and use?"
Jim didn't hesitate to take out the few pieces of ores he got from that pit. He didn't have much ti to mine many pieces from there, but he took out the largest one he had before.
The milky white piece of ore appeared and the mont he held it the shape of his orb changed and its color.
Instead of it being rounded, it turned to beco triangular. The unique color of lightning shifted and pure golden color appeared.
And the orb started to grow bigger than before, even filling the entire space of the cave around Jim.
"What's happening?" Jim wasn't alard by these changes but the sudden reaction that ca from the worm at the front. "Why is it going restless?"
The mont he took that piece of ore out and his aura changed, that monster stopped moving, raised its strange globular head upwards and Jim felt it was gazing up at him.
But Jim could only see a general outline of the monster. He couldn't see anything clearly and didn't even know where the eyes of that monster were.
'I believe you got its attention now,' the old man said.
"Is it good or bad?" Jim jokingly said before holding the ore in his hand in fimrer way, "but that proves Hector knew sothing and that's related to those ores down there."
'I never heard about such a thing before,' the old man seed hesitant.
"No ti for that, I believe I should start running, right?" Jim couldn't see anything at all but he had this growing alarming feeling inside him.
It was like his death was rapidly approaching and he needed to run, run as far away as possible from here. "Let's test it then," he didn't wait for his old man to say a word before turning around and started running.
And just as he did that, he heard a loud bang coming from behind.
'It's hunting you,' the old man warned, 'you need to drive him out. I dunno if the sunlight can help against it or not but let's pray it does.'
"I have sothing else other than praying," Jim had a strange look over his face and at this mont the old man read his thoughts at last.
'No, that's stupid!' The old man didn't accept the plan he had in mind and shouted at him. 'You need to escape, not stand and fight this behemoth.'
"If I do that then all of them will die."
'It doesn't matter!' the old man ruthlessly said, 'what matters is your life!'
"Aren't you the one just asking to seek strength out of others not of myself?" Jim sneered, "don't distract , I've made up my mind. That motherf*cker is going down today and on my hands!"
Jim kept running as fast as he could while hearing the sound of smashing coming from behind. He didn't need to turn to know this ca from the movent of that giant monster while smashing all the rocks on its way.
"At least I know rocks aren't a problem for it," Jim said before finally spotting the first pit, the cave entrance, and Tim's far silhouette and the comatosed Hector.
"Why are you running?" Tim's voice ca from the front while noticing the weird run of Jim.
"Stay back," Jim shouted in a strong tone, "take his body now and retreat fast... Get out of the cave now!"
Tim only froze for a second there before hurriedly leaving everything he was working on, grabbed Hector's helpless body and the two moved outside the cave in no ti.
"What's happening?" Tim kept asking while dragging his boss out, "where is everyone?"
Jim was almost at the entrance. "Wait for a minute before everything settles," Jim shouted before suddenly jumping high in the air.
The pure golden orb around gave him a very terrifying image. "Then go and bring everyone here. I'll stall as long as I can and they have to keep their distance."
Jim finally reached the top of the pit with his wide jump before falling down fast.
"Stall what?" Tim shouted in urgency.
"The motherf*cker that poisoned Hector," Jim's voice ca from the pit. "It's chasing now! It's invisible!"
His voice started to fade away and Tim stood there motionless, not knowing what to say.
"Boom!"
Yet the next mont the opening of that pit got a violent hit. It seed like sothing big just slamd into it and started to even crush all the rocks lining the edge.
"What the hell is that?!!"
Just as the dust caused by the devastation of the rocks at the pit moved everywhere, Tim could clearly now see the outline of the monster trying to pursue Jim like a lion hunting deer.
That mont didn't last for long before the opening got wide enough to allow that monster to squeeze its body inside.
"That's bad," Tim suddenly turned his gaze towards the depth of the cave. "They were outplayed by it," he muttered, leaned to the ground and took a rock there before smashing it into tiny pieces using nothing but his pure strength.
"Fly," he pointed his hand towards the cave and used a basic wind spell to carry out the dust towards the inside of the cave.
Then he threw a couple of shining orbs to enlighten the cave entrance.
"Damn! It's huge!"
In front of him he spotted a large piece of that monster still entering the pit. "Is it... a worm?" he muttered to himself before clenching his fists. "He is just a first year kid and he wasn't fazed by it. How can I, a tenth grade student, be afraid?"
Tim's eyes changed as he was determined to go back there and summon everyone.
"Just hang in there," as he made sure that monster entered entirely inside the pit, Tim grabbed Hector's body to the side of the cave.
He then hid him with so twigs and leaves. "Help is coming," then he turned inside the cave and started running as fast as he could.
