LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 27: Chapter 27
Chapter 27-Evan-
Now that we finally have made it here we still had no luck, not a portal to be found.
You could sense an awful feeling in the atmosphere. I believed that this was the right place. So far we hadn't encountered a demon yet either. But I'm sure some is lurking around the corner.
Please make sure to have your sword ready in case something wants to surprise us Becky asked.
I had been awake and was prepared already. I've stayed alert this entire time and haven't been able to let up—not even for the last few days.
We covered as much of the area in our hunt as we could. We went through and around the woods for a good portion of it. We attempted to climb the nearby peak. We tried inside the cave as well. I've encircled the lake entirely. We haven't found any portals as of yet.
When the moon first rose, it was a dazzling light, guiding us. However, the area gradually seemed to have become darker over time.
There are not too many other places we can go at this point. We have searched this place high and low for at least a 10-mile radius.
The atmosphere appeared nearly tangible as if you could cut it with a knife. It was so dense and heavy that breathing was difficult. I have a suspicion that the atmosphere is getting more intense might be a signal of the impending appearance of a portal was soon to come.
I called out to the others in the party to be vigilant.
I feel like there's a lot of pressure before a portal opens. Perhaps? We'll find out soon enough Micah commented I guess she felt it as well.
Not too many things we can agree on; but I have to say I think you're right on this one.
Don't worry Micah if something happens I'll protect you too I said teasing her.
Well, thanks, sugar you're a doll you said batting her eyes sarcastically at me. We all were lined up with our at the ready weapons ready.
That son like I would say you are correct Duke added. I know you don't know much about these portals but I'll try to educate you better on another time. To simplify these portals are similar to black holes. They ooze with dark matter and the earth's atmospheric electromagnetic field. The dark matter is condensed particles of negative energy.
I see it's much like a star that energy gathers and then explodes Becky said questioning.
Kind of but instead of exploding it implodes. Ripping holes in the dimension of the spiritual Realm and natural Realm that humans walk upon. Normally only those who are gifted with seers' eyes can see these things.
I could hear them at first but could not see them Beck commented to Duke.
Yes, some people have the vision of sight while others have the vision of hearing. Not many humans accept their gifts.
Some believe they are suffering from schizophrenia or, in rare instances, hallucinations. In certain situations, it might also be beneficial for others to step in and see the spirits. Telling them what you see that way can better comprehend their situation.
Oh so like the boy in the burning building we told him about the spirit and demon.
Yes, the more Becky that you became closer to the spiritual world the more your pineal gland began to open awakening your abilities further.
Look over there; there seems to be a crack for me I believe it's a portal trying to open not meaning to be interrupted.
Okay, so the plan is to try and hold off as long as possible. Let this portal open as far as you can; so we can get through but be on your guard. Attack everything in sight as it comes out. And when I give the signal your group will go in and go as far as you can to get to the center of the Abyss and enter past the barrier.
When all of you deliver Evan to the gate you must come back as quickly as possible we're not sure how long we can keep this gate open.
How long are you going to keep it open Becky asked.
The plan is to execute as many demons as possible but take captive one as long as there's a demon still out the portal will stay open to continue to allow the demon access between the dimensions.
Just a few seconds after the first crack broke through our "soursensa" started going off, this was the real deal. It was coming, I said preparing myself and the others.
The crack formed abruptly and quite suddenly small demons started to come through the cracks. I could tell that something bigger was trying to break through. The walls of the portal were pressing deeper as if something was trying to break through the wall. Pushing and binding time and space.
He had our group organized from strongest to weakest. As the portal began to open the smaller ones would be dealt with off to the side leaving room for the rest of us to work. In case the invasion of larger demons which at this point I felt was inevitable.
I don't think we were prepared for such a large surge. As a crack formed wider and wider, the larger demon that was trying to break through; came racing through bursting the portal open.
Once we cut down a significant amount of their numbers. We did our best as possible to take down the smaller guys first so we could focus on the one big guy. It was time for us to face the larger demon.
You guys need to go ahead and get into the portal now I'll take care of this fella here and leave him alive so you can get back, Baby shouted to our group.
The group started to go head to the portal but then all of a sudden. It seemed to have teleported shifting to another location there were still demons coming out but we didn't know where it was now.
It's no time to rest we need to find this portal Duke said!
We managed to get through some of the trees and came to the lake. As we followed the direction of where the demons were coming from. Their numbers depleted as we Came Upon the lake. I started looking for the portal it had to be close.
We had taken off in such a hurry that we didn't finish the big guy.
He came bulldozing through the woods and I did not notice him as I was finishing off the last few of the small demons.
He slammed his full body weight into the mine sending both of us flying into the lake. I stabbed him and cut off one of his arms as he clawed at me. This action sent him floating back up to the surface where I could see Duke and Baby grab a hold of him.
For some odd reason, I was still sinking. I turned around and looked beneath me; towards a dark cavern-like hole'
Somehow the portal had transported opening up inside the lake itself and now it's my chance. I hurried up and swam down deeper as quickly as I could.
Damn it, I was running out of breath as I went into the portal.
I tried to hold my breath as long as possible but the deeper I dove into the portal the less air I had once I passed through the portal I woke up on the other side.
Not much time had passed I coughed up the remainder of the water that had gotten into my lungs and began to head off into the caverns tunnel.
I knew which direction to head in there were loud sounds of machinery humming down one of the tunnels.
As I walk through the place need to turn into what looks like a warehouse. It has a boiler room and many pipes and wires heading in everywhere.
The place was wreaked of malice and Evil it was something that could make your skin crawl. It was apparent something ominous was happening here. The only good thing was the walls of the cavern shimmered with black opal texture which was quite beautiful. It looked like I was in the center of the world.
The inside had a thick misty fog that covered most of the cave floor. I continued to follow the direction of some of the pipe installations diving deeper into the cavern.
I believe I was coming close to something when I saw a bright blueish glow coming beyond cave catcombs I believe I was close to the barrier of the Abyss that they told me about the first Gate.
I felt as though I was being watched by something in the shadows. It was beginning to draw near creeping closer and closer I wasn't able to see it yet. But I sure felt it, the spiritual pressure seemed to feel a little different when you were down here.
I'm not sure I can fully comprehend it; it seems as though the spiritual pressure is being restricted. However, if my perception is accurate, I thought to myself as I reached for my sword, "I'm pretty sure it's my brother."
I spun around as I swung my blade clashing it with my brother's sword. He tried silently creeping up from behind me.
That idiot still tried to use moves against me that we used to do when we were children, he's so predictable.
Hello again brother I see you're still trying to use the same moves as one of your children, I harrassed him.
I don't know how you got down here. Well, now you know what it's like to be down in the depths with the demons.
They are crawling everywhere here. We only closed off some of the tunnels to stop them from coming through. So we can do some of our work. That said our hard work does not need to be bothered by you!
He said as he shoved his sword into mine bouncing backward.
Where is the girl i'm not worried about your fun little warehouse setup you have here my time is short I'm looking to get in and get out.
Yeah, but see the thing is this here is in my territory which means I'm stronger. Also, I strictly remember kicking your ass very recently.
Yeah, that situation is not going to happen again. I've done a little extra training myself.
You could see our auras of the soul ties manifesting my blue with his red whipping and flowing in the wind as our power levels grew.
It was like we created this ripple as it began to shake the winds began to blow even down here in the cave itself.
I told you Dad has some more work to do and he can't afford to be bothered right now. Once you reached the barrier I knew you were here and I could not allow you to proceed.
I don't know what type of science experiment pops got cooked up but you're going to let me take that girl back to her home!
Oh you didn't hear Father is working on a new project and wanted to create a demon that's immune to being exercised and practically immortal.
So what's that got to do with the girl?
She's in her has a strange ability to not be possessed. Somehow she means the amount of purity Dad plans to exploit and create a better demon.
I see I'm guessing he's going to get these powers to you his little guinea pig.
Dad only wants me to. No! I need to become strong so I don't get sick again.
That is only when you were born you were a small weak child.
He's brainwashed you into believing that you have to get better how do you think Mom would have felt knowing that you threw your life away? She tried to save you by being murdered by the demons that you play with them every day I shouted in anger.
