Chapter 259 Icy Cave (4) - The truth about the 'gods'
“He is dead, right?” Bailey said.
“Probably. We can just tell it was an accident, and as he is soone new in the school, everything should be fine.”
“Good. We will not have to split with him, hehehe.”

The pit was pitch-black, and even Arthur, who could see in the dark, could not do so in that place. It was as if there was a veil blocking his sight.
He kept falling at top speed and tried many tis to cast so sort of spell to prevent that from happening. Nothing worked.
Arthur only stopped falling when he hit the ground. The good news was that the snow was also there in the pit, and it lowered the damage from his falling, making him only break a few bones.
“Why?”
The reason behind such a treacherous act was sothing Arthur did not know.
“Was it just about the mission reward? They did not want to share with ?”
All the three teachers looked like decent people. Arthur had seen nothing wrong with them during the entire journey, yet they betrayed him for profit.
It was not worth to think about those things, as it had already passed and there was nothing Arthur could do to change that.
But he could focus on surviving such a terrible situation and eventually uncover the truth behind the acts of those teachers.
“I fell in that pit and now I am here. But where is here?”
Arthur slowly got up from the ground, placing his hands on specific parts of his body. Everything hurt, and even though his regeneration capabilities were extraordinary, there was still a limit.
He had not only suffered from the fall but also from the attack of Official Mages. It would take him so ti to recover.
“Let’s hope this place isn’t that dangerous, although I doubt that is the case.”
The place he was currently in was a pit with a narrow corridor, not only in front of him but also behind. Arthur did not know what direction to take, but kept going forward, hoping it was the right call.
There was barely any noise inside that pit. The only thing Arthur could hear was the wind pressing into the walls made of stone.
What he feared was a scorpion appearing out of nowhere and attacking him. It wouldn’t be that great to fight in such a tiny space.
“Well, if I barely fit in here, then the scorpions will have a worse ti than .”
That was the thought that kept him going forward, getting colder after each step he took. Everyone knew the Icy Cave was cold, and the deeper one went, the colder it got.
One reason humans did not explore it entirely was because of that inhospitable environnt, and it was also sothing they wished to know more about.
Why was it always cold inside the cave? Why did it get colder? Maybe there was a treasure in the deepest part of the cave, or maybe a creature in a slumber. Could it have both things?
“This is too much. How can a human survive in a place like this?”
Arthur’s body was turning into a frozen statue from toe to head, so he quickly used so of his fire spells to dissipate the cold away, and it worked!
He had an advantage inside that place with his completed essence of fire, as well as his dragon fire skills.
Two wings grew behind his back, extending into an armor made entirely of flas, making his body warr and protected.
Then, after walking for quite so ti, he left the narrow corridor, reaching an open area with an imnse gate!
It was made of rocks Arthur did not know in a rectangle shape. The portal was tall, almost touching the roof of the cave, and it was wide as well.
“I have never seen sothing like this.”
When Arthur got closer to the portal, soone walked out of it.
The pressure was too much, even for him. He gazed at that figure, and noticed it was a human, just like him. But there was sothing familiar about that human. Sothing Arthur had not found in anyone else he t in that world.
“We finally t, Arthur.”
“Do I know you?”
It seed the man who got out from that mysterious portal knew his na, yet Arthur was sure they had never t before.
“I am one person you call a ‘god’. Did you know that we have a lot in common, Arthur?”
“Oh? And what could that be?”
“We are both from Earth.”
“Yeah, we have that in common, but… wait, what?”
Arthur instantly put his guard up, looking at that man with imnse fear. It was not the first ti soone discovered he was from another world.
The blue bird he t inside the dinsional realm who was one of the strongest creatures knew about it too, but not that he was from Earth.
People appearing from other planets weren’t that uncommon, but Earth was not one of these planets! Arthur wanted to return to Earth soday, yet he had no clue about it.
“This is impossible. There is no way you are also from Earth.”
“Oh, really? Is it that impossible we ca from the sa portal as you?”
“We? All the other ‘gods’ are from Earth as well?”
“Yes, that is correct. I am only telling you this because you will die today. This is only one of my avatars, but you will die.”
The source of all the cold of that place was coming from that man! He had a blue straight hair, and his body was lean and muscular, but it still looked like sothing one could naturally achieve.
He picked up a spear which was pierced into the ground right in front of the portal. The mont the man touched the spear, a chilling aura enveloped it, making Arthur tremble just by looking at it.
“There is no doubt. This man has the power of a rank 2 mage!”
Arthur believed in everything that man had said. He did not think soone could fake and pretend to be from Earth, so it must be true.
It turned out all the ‘gods’ were from Earth, just like him. But what reason did they have to go after him? What did they want in the first place?
There were lots of things Arthur had no answer for, and seeing how strong the enemy was, then perhaps he would never get the answers himself!
“I might really die here. Fuck. What can I do? What can I do?” Arthur thought.
Even if he used all of his trump cards, there was no chance he would win against that man! Not only he had special skills, but had the power of a rank 2 mage.
In the current situation Arthur faced, the chance of soone appearing to save him was akin to zero. He had to fight against that man, even if it ant losing and dying.
“At least I will die fighting.”
After a long ti, Arthur used everything he got. The surrounding aura increased by a lot as his dragon transformation took effect, changing his appearance to sothing similar to a lizard man.
“Oh? Your dragon bloodline? That is not enough to stop , you know.”
Then, for the first ti, Arthur used his Monlog Giant bloodline without turning into a mad beast!
