*CRRRRRREEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKKK*

Before Kylo could answer they heard a loud noise.

Without even turning Kylo knew it was the sound of the door opening.

And without any delay they all took a defensive stance.

After all the moment the door opened all the hairs on their body stood up. The pressure they are facing is above Supremo!

And none of them are strong enough to face above Supremo Stage enemies, be it formations, traps, treasures or anything else!

"....Is it another formation?"

Asked Nige since he encountered many formation traps inside the cave till date. Sadly there was no reply.

Kylo with the sword in his hand slowly walked towards the door.

Seeing him walking forward Avery also followed him. With no other choice Nigel followed them as well.

Standing at the edge of golden door they could now clearly see inside.

It was totally dark, but with their cultivation, this wasn't a problem.... Or it shouldn't had been a problem.

But it was! They could not see anything inside!

"Maybe we can see something only if we go inside."

Kylo said in a not so confident voice. After all even previously when he used his {Soul Sense} he wasn't able to sense past this barrier.

Thinking about it, he stepped inside with his companions

*CRRREEEEEAAAAAKKKK*

A similar voice sounded as the door closed. It was just that the door closed faster than when it opened.

Suddenly the numerous torches that filled the walls of the area lit up, brightly illuminating the interior .

"Huh? A room?"

"... A hall would be more appropriate."

Nigel replied to Avery after the trio surveilled their surroundings. The floors, the walls and even the ceiling was covered in moss.

[Honestly this is creepy.] thought Kylo to himself.

"Something feels wrong."

"...What?"

"Doesn't it feel like we're being watched?"

Nigel's answer is making even Kylo a little fearful. Not to mention the blonde maid.

"Tsk. Don't say such things."

Kylo replied while they started heading deeper. By now he had already retrieved the sword.

The interior was incredibly large.  A wide area in a dome shape. It was comparable to multiple football fields being put together.  

No, perhaps even bigger!

The hall was quite empty. No treasure, No trap.

[A letdown to be honest] thought Kylo.

But in no way did he let his guard down. He knew better than anyone else how dangerous this cave could be.

They all suddenly stopped as they slowly approached the end of the hall. The reason was

"Are those... statues?"

Avery asked. She didn't stutter like always. In fact both Nigel and Avery were somewhat used to surprises these last few days.

In front of them were three large pillars. The pillars were about as tall as a 15 storey building.

Above those pillars stood three statues of around 5 feet 10 inches height.

These three figures were extremely similar to each other. The only difference between them was of hair length. josei

"Something is really wrong." Nigel muttered seeing those statues ignoring Avery's question.

Kylo wanted to ask more about it but before he could...

"Arghh" Kylo clutched his head in pain.

"What happened?" asked Avery in a tone that didn't hid her surprise.

But Kylo didn't had any time to answer her question. His head was aching so bad, it felt as if his soul was being hammered countless times.

"ARRGGGGHHHHHH"

With each second passing the pain increased.

"W-wha-what's happening?" Avery already entered in a panic zone seeing Kylo kneeling and clutching his head.

She squatted down immediately, her attention completely on Kylo. But it was only her. Nigel's attention wasn't on Kylo for now.

"ARRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

[DAMMIT!!!!] Kylo yelled in pain while exclaiming inwardly.

"HUH?"

Avery was about to touch Kylo when Nigel's confused voice entered her ears.

"Ave...."

"What?" she responded in a bad mood, probably because of Kylo's suffering.

"Did that statue just look at us?" Nigel asked in a little horrified voice.

Avery immediately looked at the statue on the right pillar pointed by Nigel.

But she didn't found any change. Grumbling she complained to Nigel

"There are no changes in the statue. What are you even looking at? They don't even have lives."

Indeed as an elf she was more sensitive to the living creatures among the trio, despite her lower cultivation base.

She immediately turned her attention to Kylo when

*Flash*

"Huh? Why did the lights went off??"

Yes the torches just went off on its own. Just when Avery asked the question she could sense huge amount of energy accumulating around her.

She knew what this was. This was when Nigel transforms using his bloodline energy.

"Why are yo--"

Before she could finish asking

*BAM*

A loud noise of crash was heard. Avery immediately 'looked' at the direction of the noise.

After all as it was said she could sense life much better than anyone else. And she knew that was...

"Nigel? NIGEL??" She yelled at the direction but to her dismay she couldn't hear any response.

But she could feel he was gravely injured. Suddenly

*Flash*

The torches lit once again and she could see Nigel was laying unconcious on one side of the hall.

And just before she could call his name once again she felt life threatening danger behind her.

She turned and her eyes turned into horror for she could see a short golden haired lady in front of her ready to punch her with her clenched fists.

A fist that would atleast severely injure her if it did not kill her.
