Chapter:28
Akiko used her wind magic and a ladder to the cave appeared infront of them. They all were at the entrance of the mysterious cave.
Both Akiko and Shigeru went inside the cave, Ryuu was standing infront of the cave. He could feel the mysterious aura coming out of the cave.
He stepped inside the cave, suddenly he felt a strange power inside the cave. He had never felt a strange power like this before.
(W-what is this strange pressure. I-it's entirely different from the outside of the cave. Master was right, this cave have a different space from the outside world.)
They all were heading inside the cave. Ryuu saw all the ancient sculpture carved on the walls of the cave. He was jawdropped, he had never seen this style of sculpture before.
"Aramiya-kun, can you see the sculpture on the walls.
I know that you might be thinking what these sculpture are trying to convey.
In reality, nethier I or Akiko have any idea thay what message these sculpture are really conveying."
Shigeru went ahead touched a sculpture on the wall.
"But there are some sculptures which might give us some ideas, here you can see, it's like the battlefield of the humans and demons war described in the history.."
They all continued heading inside the cave.
Ryuu was staring at all the sculpture deeply.
They were almost in the deepest part of the cave. Ryuu was staring at the carvings this whole time.
"Aramiya-kun, can you see at that wall over there."
Shigeru stopped and pointed at a wall. The wall was torned up, mark of slashes were visible on the sculptures.
"These are the sculptures that i told you about, these slashes were forced by something or someone."
Ryuu looked at the sculpture on the wall.
He was glancing at the torned sculptures.
Suddenly he noticed a wall, it was blocked by a huge boulder. He went near the wall and noticed a picture on the wall covered by the huge boulder.
As he glanced at the figure, suddenly he heard a voice in his mind.
"W-why!!?"
Ryuu was shocked, he was freezed at the place.
(W-what is h-happening!!? What was that sound in my mind? Why does my heart feel so heavy, why do i feel this pressure looking at this picture.)
Ryuu was sweating all over, his heart was beating loudly. He was just staring at the picture.
"Aramiya-kun! Why are you just standing there, hurry up, it's going to be night very soon."
Akiko came near Ryuu, he came to his sense.
"Aah! A-akiko san. I-i was just looking at this picture, blocked by this huge boulder."
Akiko glanced at the direction he was pointing, she got confused and gave a small smile to him.
"Aramiya-kun, are you tired? There is no boulder or a picture on that wall. What are you talking about?"
Ryuu was stunned at her response. He couldn't understood what was going on.
"Aramiya-kun, do you want to head back and have a rest?"
Akiko asked Ryuu touching her forhead in worry.
"I-i'm fine! I-i think, i'm just a little tired!"
Ryuu was sweating all over his body.
(W-what's going on? W-why A-akiko san can't see the boulder and the picture.)
Shigeru noticed Ryuu, he realized that he was hiding something.
"Aramiya-kun, Akiko. Let's head ahead, it's already pretty late."
Shigeru gave a last glance at Ryuu and started to head inside the cave.
Now they were in the deepest part of the cave. It was a big dome, everything was covered with darkness.
Shigeru hold out his hand, a light golden ball appeared above his hands, the golden ball enlightened the whole dome.
"Aramiya-kun, it's my elemental power, the light element. Even if it's a rare element, It's still only of the F rank.
Well, I'm still a failure at using magic. Ha-ha-ha."
The whole dome was enlightened by Shigeru light elemental magic. It was a huge big dome, there was a pond in the center of the dome.
Ryuu couldn't have imagined that there could be such a beautiful pond in the middle of the dark deep room.
They went ahead, they were now behind the pond. Infront of them was a huge wall.
"Aramiya-kun, can you see at the bottom of this big wall."
Shigeru pointed at the bottom of the huge wall. There was a painting of nine different weapons, at their side was written an ancient text.
"These nine painting are the picture of the legendary, heavenly weapons, the ATSURAs themselves."
Ryuu was jawdropped, Ever since the the three strongest ATSURAs got disappeared in the history. No one had ever seen any painting of those three weapons.
No one after the disappearance of the three weapons have ever get to know how they looked.
But, on this huge wall. There were made all nine of the Atsuras.
"Aramiya-kun, now look at the top of the wall,
The nine figures standing on the top of all the creatures, are perhaps the picture of the DEVAS themselves."
Shigeru pointed at the nine figures standing at the top of the wall. Ryuu glanced at the nine figure, when he lookee at the nine figures. Suddenly a voice came into his mind again.
"W-why!!?"
Suddenly Ryuu fell on his knees, holding his chest.
"Aahhhh"
An large azure flame appeared on his forehead. He started coughing blood.
"Aramiya-kun!!!"
Both shigeru and Akiko ran towards Ryuu.
Ryuu was screaming in pain...
In the training area, Ryoko was sitting in a garden when suddenly her heart started beating quickly.
(No! No! Ryuu-kun!!? Ryuu-kun is in danger)....
