Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 196: Shining

After a while of resting and thinking about what should be done next, Nessa got up and they looked at her then she smiled.

"What's the matter?" Sophia asked as she looked at the marking which Nessa was looking at.

"Do you think that has something to do with all of this in  a way?" Sophia asked and Nessa glanced at her.

"Yes, I do believe that it might have something to do with this, maybe we will be able to find out what if I can just get up to it," She responded and Sophia smiled, then looked at Yonja who exhaled deeply before getting up and approaching Nessa.

"You like to take risks don't you?" He asked and she smirked.

"I think you got your answer from that, Yonja," Isan said and he chuckled then looked up at the marking.

'I will get you up there, but be careful, you can fall and I might not make it in time to save you if we are attacked by more monsters, got it?" He asked and she glanced at Isamu, who nodded.

"Well, you don't need to worry about that part, I have two guardian angels with me right now," She responded and he glanced at Terou and Isamu then smiled.

"Of course you do, they admire you a lot don't they?" He asked and they nodded as the others stared at them.

"They are quite intelligent as well and since you are so nice to them, they have taken quite a liking to you, also, one thing I do know is that they are pretty strong as well, not matter how young or old they are, they are loyal to their masters and would do whatever it took to protect them, they are wonderful creatures, nice, I am jealous, a bit," Ian added and Nessa chuckled as Yonja sighed.

"Are you ready, Nessa?" He asked and she nodded as she stepped away from him and he lifted his hands up, then took a deep breath as wind began forming around her feet and she began floating in the air and he smiled.

"I am going to drop you by the top of that large rock, now, balance your body and don't get distracted or nervous, you might make me lose focus if you do and you will fall, got it?" He asked and she smiled.

"Got it, you do what you have to do, I will relax," She responded and he smiled as he directed her to the rock then placed her down and the wind around her feet disappeared and she looked down at them as they smiled at her.

"Are you good up there?" Sophia asked and Nessa chuckled.

"Yeah, I am good, you guys better be careful, I won't be too long," She responded then checked the time and noticed how late in the night it was, due to being busy fighting off the monsters that kept on coming for them, they lost track of the time.

"We have been in here for a few days now, I don't want to be in here much longer, but who knows how much further in this dungeon we have to go in order to get what we actually want, if only there was an easier way to get through this, but I guess the hard way it is," Nessa said as she approached the marking and looked up at it with her eyes narrowing.

"Now, can you help me find or even understand that exactly is hidden in this dungeon?" She asked as she looked carefully at the marking, wondering if it would be any use to them or not.

While looking at the marking, Nessa passed her hand on it and the light began shining on it and she smiled as the marking began glowing and she saw it was the same one with the diamond in the hand.

"What is it with this thing? I need to know, but I have no clue as yet," Nessa mumbled as Isamu looked at her then at Terou.

"Do you think we should help her?" Terou asked and Isamu glanced at him then sighed.

"I don't think we can at this point, she can handle it, that much we have to believe, she is obviously looking for something important," He responded and Terou nodded as Nessa heard growling and her eyes widened as she turned around and saw a huge snake appearing out of the ground and the others sighed as they got up and jumped up in the trees and with the branch covering the, they looked at the snake which was red and black in color and has spikes around his neck corner.

Stay immersed with m-vl-em-py-r

"He's big," Cortan mumbled, and Yonja nodded before looking up at Nessa, who had her gaze fixed on the snake and had accidentally scratched her hand on a prickly end of the marking and didn't know.

Nessa pressed her hand against the marking while looking at the snake and her blood dripped on the marking causing to glow bright red and everyone gasped as they turned around and the snake roared as it eyes caught on to Nessa.

"Oh no," Nessa said as she dimmed her eye due to the bright glow reflecting in her eyes and the snake rushed towards her after which Yonja sighed and Cortan removed his barrier then they jumped off of the tree.

"Let's just kill it, I am tired of them, one monster to the next," Ian said and Yonja chuckled, then patted him on the shoulder and he looked at him.

"You are hilarious, don't expect nothing less from a dungeon, Ian, they are always scary no matter what, they are packed with different kinds of monsters but you already know that, don't you?" He asked and Ian exhaled deeply before nodding and the others laughed, due to which even they caught the snake's attention.

"Great, just great this thing is very big and it will take up more of our time, let's kill this thing and be done with it..." Sophia said as the snake grew taller and their eyes widened as they stared at it, and Nessa exhaled deeply as it rushed towards her and away from them.
