Will of chaos

When we came out of the small tunnel, we were in a big tunnel, this place was big enough for a train to pass through here.

“Be careful, this tunnel was dug by a Desert Worm.” (Randel)

“I’m surprised they go near this town, with so many water rocks around here.” (Margareth) .𝒐𝙧𝒈

“This tunnel was dug before the city existed, it is abandoned now, but other monsters try to make these places into nests, criminals also use these tunnels.” (Randel)

“Where are we going?” (Kira)

“We are towards the underground river and from there we go to the Oasis of da Cachoeira.” (Randel)

“Should take 4 days one-way travel.” (Margareth)

“Does that mean it’s 4 days there and 4 days back, can you stay away from the Guild for that long?” (I)

“Yes, I told you I’m going on vacation so I don’t have to deal with the people from the Temple of Blood.” (Randel)

“Would they accept something so irresponsible on your part, running away from a situation you were supposed to resolve?” (I)

“I don’t care what they think, I’m not a government official and I don’t need to follow their orders, there’s also no mission against Margareth, so in the eyes of the Adventurer’s Guild, everything is normal and they were the ones who agreed with my vacation.” (Randel)

“I see…what?” (I)

“Strange, this thing wasn’t supposed to be here.” (Randel)

“…” (I)

As we walked through the tunnel talking, suddenly the Guild Master disappeared, when I realized, he was already right in front of me with his arm outstretched to hold something behind me.

I feel something drip onto my shoulder, so I look up to see some kind of humanoid Cockroach with four bladed arms instead of hands or paws.

The Guildmaster crushed this Cockroach’s head by clenching his fist.

“Sand ambushers, these pests are very common throughout the desert, they feed on blood and can go weeks without food before they begin to weaken.” (Randel)

“Disgusting thing.” (Margareth)

“How did we not notice him before?” (Freya)

“These things have very high defense and speed, their blades are also very sharp.” (Randel)

“Other than that, they don’t have any other skills, they are slightly intelligent monsters with very strong killer instincts.” (Randel)

I collect the body to collect the materials later.

Soon we are going to walk, all wearing masks, I was wearing a red Christian mask that I created by crystallizing my blood.

On the way we saw many monsters, we also saw bodies of people and smugglers passing by with carts carried using Golems in the form of giant lizards.

———-

4 days later.

“I’ve never seen so many problems walking through these tunnels.” (Randel)

“Whether it’s the number of monsters, the number of bandits who dare to attack those who pass by, or the tunnel sections that were destroyed.” (Randel)

“I guess it’s just bad luck, right girls?” (Freya)

“I’m sure so, a great deal of bad luck.” (Kira)

“It almost feels like something is bringing us trouble.” (Margareth)

“…” (I)

“Is someone trying to stop us from going on? But I can’t feel anyone else.” (Randel)

While everyone was talking about the mysterious cause of the strange happenings over the past 4 days, the girls were looking at me as if they were accusing me.

“This river is quite big.” (I)

“This water spreads over many vats traveling to many places throughout the desert.” (Randel)

“That night we must find the exit that is at the point of origin of that water.” (Randel)

———-

I didn’t know if it was day or night since we were inside the tunnels, but the Guild Master seemed to know.

A few hours after we saw the underground river, we arrived at what looked like a cliff, the river water was falling like a waterfall down this cliff.

After climbing to the top by jumping from one wall to the other, I see a city started with tropical plants with all the buildings being made of different shades of blue stone.

There was a river that came from this city to this cliff next to the city.

“We’re already arriving, it’s on the other side of town.” (Randel)

We walk into town and I notice that the air is cooler here, plus it’s not so hot, we cross town to a small mountain on the other side of town, the mountain had a steeper side where there was a cave at the top of the where the water fell into a large lake, the water from that lake that crosses the city was left until it fell on that cliff to reach the underground tunnels.

“Let’s go to the top, the passage to the Separate Space is in that cave.” (Randel)

We walked through the night until we reached the less steep side of the mountain where we climbed a stone path.

Upstairs we enter another cave that connects with the cave that the Guild master pointed out, after passing through the cave we see people from the Mages Guild and the Adventurers Guild protecting what looks like a large crack in space where an amount of nonsense of water comes out.

The Guildmaster goes with all of us to where the Adventurer’s Guild officers are, I try to listen to their concert.

“■□□□■○□□□□○■?□■??.” (Randel)

“■□●○○●○□■□?.”

“●○□□○□□●.”

“□●□□.” (Randel)

“Come on, we’re going in.” (Randel)

I didn’t understand what they were saying, but I realized that it was the same language as in the previous city, and besides, the people of the Adventurer’s Guild were very respectful of the Guildmaster.

“< ■■□■ >”

We get closer to him, and he climbs into a small boat where someone from the Guild is sitting on land, we climb into the boat and it starts to float at the command of the Guild person.

A barrier forms around the small floating boat before forcing its way through the water to enter through the crack in space.

On the other side I realize that we are underwater, the barrier around the small boat protects us from the water as it floats to the surface.

After reaching the surface we are dropped off on a nearby beach before the boat heads back the way it came.

“It will be 3 weeks of travel until we arrive, let’s go.” (Randel)

After the Guild Master finished speaking, I noticed several jets of water coming towards us, Randel waves his hand that was full of Ki making these jets of water spread just with the pressure of the blow.

I look at what made that attack, but what I saw surprised me.

“Sharks!?” (I)
