My Dragon System

Chapter 137 - The Future

Chapter 137 - The Future

After searching the room for half an hour, no one was able to find anything that resembled either an entrance or an exit, so they all gathered back at the statue. Ray was currently still staring at the statue trying to figure out why the person seemed so familiar to him.

"Hey, do you think Ray is in love?" Dan whispered to Monk.

"He has been staring at that statue for an incredibly long time."

Martha then came up from behind the two and knocked them on the head.

"knock it out you two."

Then suddenly they heard a shout from one of the corners of the room.

"Dam it, there has to be an entrance somewhere."

As the group turned to look at who it was, it turned out the noise was coming from Gary. Gary seemed to be frustrated the most out of everyone.

"Well, should we head back?" Slyvia asked the group.

Ray then pointed at the statue.

"Underneath the statue, there's another door."

"What seriously!" Gary said as he rushed over to the statue and immediately started to push it.

"This thing weighs a tone," Gary said, "Come on are you guys just going to stare."

Dan and Monk then came over and tried pushing the statue again but it didn't move an inch just like with the steel door.

Ray had actually spotted the door when he first entered the room, it wasn't like he didn't want to help the others but he wanted to stay and stare at the statue for a while longer. He felt like the longer he looked at the statue the more it reminded him of someone.

Ray then walked over to the statue and the others moved, he placed his hand on the bottom part of the statue and just like before the system reacted again.

"Would you like to enter?"

Ray selected yes without any hesitation; Ray felt like he was just about to discover something big. The statue started to move backwards and underneath it reviled another staircase that led into darkness.

"Just how far down does this place go?" Dan asked.

Unlike the staircase before it, this staircase did not spiral down and just lead the group straight down until they had eventually reached a trap door. Gary lifted up the trap door to reveal a ladder. The sound of water running could be heard from underneath.

"I'll go first then shall I," Gary said as he slowly started to descend down the ladder. The ladder led to an even bigger empty room which was filled with nothing but rocks. The room had five tunnels in total but four of them had been sealed up with Iron doors, similar to the first one at the entrance

"Ray, do you think you can open those?" Gary asked.

Ray walked up to one of the iron doors and could see these were slightly different. These doors did not have a circular marking in the centre like the others. When he placed his hand on the door there was no reaction.

Ray shook his head.

"Well it looks like we have no choice," Garry said as he continued to walk through the only tunnel path that wasn't sealed up.

The group continued walking down the path and eventually, part of the cave wall started to turn into crystals. The crystals would give off a bright blue light illuminating the whole cavern.

"What are these?" Slyvia said as she stared at one of the crystals.

"Well if you don't know what they are none of us will," Gary replied.

Just as Gary said no one had a clue what they were nor had they seen anything like it before. It didn't look like a beast crystal. As the group continued to walk down the cavern more and more crystals started to appear on the wall until eventually, the whole wall was covered in the blue crystals.

They continued to walk until finally, a large single crystal stood floating in the air. The crystal was more radiant than any of the other crystal they had seen in the cave. It was an unexpected sight for the group but as soon as they had laid their eyes on it, they knew what it was.

The Divine Being.

Immediately the whole group felt like they were in the presence of something far more powerful than them and they knelt down on their knees and placed their head on the ground. Ray couldn't understand the reaction of the others around him.

"Ray can't you tell what this is, it's the Divine Being!" Slyvia shouted.

Suddenly, Ray felt something inside his body jolt. It was as if something in his body wanted to escape from him and join the crystal. Ray tried his best to fight but he could no longer. Its power was far stronger than his.

The piece of his body he was trying to hold onto suddenly left him and entered the Crystal.

Images started to flash through Ray's mind of destruction, sadness death. Ray was being shown a world were the shadow plague had won the fight against humanity, were the shadow plague ruled over the whole land. Not only were the humans gone but every single living beast with it.

Finally, the images stopped and the part of Ray that had entered the crystal had been returned to him.

"What was that?"

Then suddenly, Ray remembered one of the images he had been shown. It was an image of him in this very cave. It showed him how one of the people with him were being controlled by a dark evil force.

In his mind he saw a sharp poisoned blade slice his back, Ray went to turn around but he was already too late.

The image had become reality and he had already been stabbed. Ray could feel the sharp silver blade inside him. Ray's body and legs started to feel numb as the poison started to take effect.

Ray then collapsed onto the floor but was able to lift his head before he was completely gone. He heard shouts and screams from the others, then he saw Gary jump over to his side towards Jasmine. Jasmine who bore a smile on her face while her hands were covered in blood.

The last thing Ray saw was Gary swinging his sword at Jasmine's head before his eyes completely went black.
