Victor soon returned to the village where the cave he found last ti was located, and he was very surprised to see the changes that had happened on the village. People were happier and energetic than he rembered, though even then they still seed like the chill bunch, but he could see the changes. Perhaps, the most surprise ca when everyone who saw him stopped to bow their heads as he made his way through. To say the least, it was unexpected.
The statue of him at the village centre was just another surprise. Though that’s by the way.
Back at the cave, Victor continued heading down to the deepest point he had reached last ti, where he found the one who spoke so things to him.
Tis in this cave just showed him how much usefulness his skills had, or maybe he had been depending on them too much for everything. He could have simply teleported to the depth he he reached last ti with his skills, but he had to walk the whole way because the cave blocked skills. The journey was more tedious than it could ever be tiring.
So monts ago, Victor had been in a eting with the rest of the others that went on the underwater trip to et the king of Atlantis. With everything that happened, they never got his na, though not important as what was at hand.
Humans and all creatures above the sea received a threat from Atlantis that unless they surrendered, the waters would start rising day by day until the entire world was consud in waves, and then the monsters of the seas would be unleashed on whoever survived. What they requested was for the surface to co under them as servants basically and live for the will of the king of Atlantis.
Of course, the response was quite obvious, as none of the prideful leaders of the earth would want to bow down to an enemy that had made it clear from day one that they were an opposition.
“Even in sothing as important as this, those bastards refuse to show their face.” One of the leaders of the science faction, more precisely, the VIM CORPS, said. The one he was referring to was the leader of the Razhin faith. For so reason, they suddenly kept quiet and did not involve themselves any further than they already had, and with no explanation as to why. So had even started saying the fanatics had to have made so kind of deal with these water creatures.
.
‘Not that it concerns too much, but I can’t not support humanity in such a situation. I live here after all.’ Victor said. His nonchalant attitude might actually be a ceiling for him, but at least it didn’t matter for the ti being.
The eting took place in the morning hours, and Victor went to the village settlent with the cave around afternoon. With the ti that had passed since he entered the cave, it was well to assu that the outside had entered night ti already.
Finally, Victor got to the level he reached, and where he encountered the mysterious person. Surprisingly, the man was still there and didn’t even seem to be bothered about Victor’s arrival.
The entire way there was filled with just descending stairs that continued endlessly downwards, with occasional rooms and spacious areas from ti to ti. This particular room where this man was however, was the largest out of all the rooms, and was probably might be as big as an acre of land. There were pillars all around with about 10 tres of space from each other, and the visibility was also low, such that Victor could not see the end of the room from where he would stand.
“You are still here, huh?” Victor said, as he walked around for a bit until he found the man.
Surprisingly, the man was still seating in the sa place and the sa exact position as when Victor found him last ti. It really made Victor think if he had not moved since then or even before he found him. It was a bit fascinating of a thought.
“You have co again. Hmm… So you’ve experienced it, the power that lies beyond what you know.” The man said. He wasn’t really so much as asking, it was more like he made a statent.
“Yes, what was it? It didn’t seem to be a skill either.” Victor said, this ti being a bit curious as it showed in his voice.
“To explain it would be complicated for your mortal mind, so let’s go with the simplest way to see it. Frankly, it is what lies beyond the power those in your world, including you, possess at the mont.” The man said, not really paying attention to Victor’s presence.
One thing Victor quickly picked on was his wordings, ‘mortal’. It was certainly telling.
The man did nothing as he sat on crossed leg in a lotus position on top a small mound that had no particular fanciness to it, as was quite low. He had on attire that covered him from the neck section to his very feet, not even his hands were exposed, and his entire head was covered from sight with a hat that had cloth falling from all sides blocking any eyes from catching a glimpse of his face or even the back of his head.
Though Victor had thought of it before, he decided to disregard it at the mont, as he truly felt that the one before him was not soone he would be able to beat even with all his skills. With the use of the word mortal however, Victor had resurfaced the thoughts.
“Hmm… You seem bothered? Do you seek this power?” The man said.
“Can it be thought?”
“Not exactly, but I can show you the way to unlocking it.” The man said calmly, and imdiately, Victor beca interested.
While Victor was happy that he had just like that gotten the opportunity to learn sothing completely amazing, there was the looming question of why this person would be so generous as to teach him sothing like this without any demands or request. It all seed too good, and as the saying goes, if it’s too good to be true, it’s probably is.
‘But then again, he had already predicted that I would make contact with such a power, and with the mortal thing…’ Victor’s thoughts were pacing in his head as different possibilities ca into his head.
“Why don’t we begin imdiately then?” said the man, who had still not moved an inch.
.
.
The settlent, village, where the cave was located, had been saved by Victor the ti he ca initially, and since then they held a certain level of respect for him, and probably because of the skills and strength he showcased, they treated him almost like a mini god. What was left was to begin praying to him and worshiping him.
Victor made them a promise that he would bring them out of the village and grant them power. They were obviously very overjoyed to hear this, and prayed for his safe return from the cave. To whom they prayed to at the mont however, he couldn’t say, but he just hoped it stayed that way.
