Chapter 23 - CHAPTER 22

Yuri and Sam decided to search for an entrance to the underground, as they walked for two days to reach about 50000 miles. They are awake, so they passed 50000 miles in no time.

The cursed mountains are so big that they can contain several suns and stars.

A monster with wings and claws about 5m in length, Sam sneaked into a tree and jumped on it, stabbed it with a dagger, a electrocuted it.

Sam asked, "Why are we searching for an entrance? We can just jump into the hole."

Yuri replied, "It is dangerous, and the underground is a large place." 

They left the dread mountains at last and entered normal cursed mountains. The dread mountains are a part of the Cursed Mountains.

This place is wet, and there a water flowing from every mountain that can be seen, and there are several holes carved out and large plants with large leaves.

Suddenly, they noticed a man standing in the middle of them all. Yuri and Sam walked toward the man man When they got closer, the man turned; he had red eyes, wearing a black armour with his brain out of his skull.

The monster had a sword. In a split second, it got behind them and swung its sword, but they dodged it split second before the strike.

Yuri spoke, "It's a grade 1, we can't win."

Suddenly, a hand pulled them into a hole. 

Sam and Yuri were surrounded by five people. Sam, when he opened his eyes, saw four of his friends and a stranger.

The seven of them were sitting in a circle. Sam smiled brightly and said, "I missed you guys." Sam asked, "Is anyone injured?"

Alex replied, "The three of us have minor injuries, but Shina's abdomen is pierced by the plane's metal."

Shina spoke, "What happened to Rin and what is she doing with you?". Sam replied, " It is a temporary alliance, and Rin fell into the unground of mountains."

Everyone shouted, "What! Rin fell into a hole?"

Daniel spoke, "Let's discuss this later, let's find a way to escape that monster." Sam spoke, "I am a hunter now, so I will help defeat it." Alex spoke, "We awakened as well."

Kito asked, "What about Rin?"

Sam and Yuri looked at each other and said, "Let's discuss things later." 

The monstrous figure loomed in the shadows, its presence sending a chill down Kito's spine. In a bold move, he whistled, drawing the attention of the Grade 1 creature. With a fierce roar, the monster charged, sword raised high, ready to strike. But just as it lunged, the scene shifted—Yuri had conjured an illusion, weaving magic that made the beast appear more formidable than it truly was.Seizing the moment, Yuri blended Sam into the surroundings, his stealthy form merging with the landscape. With a flick of his wrist, he unleashed his lightning dagger, aiming for a decisive blow, but the attack fizzled harmlessly against the creature's tough exterior. Then, Daniel couldn't hold back any longer. He charged forward, delivering a powerful punch that sent the beast flying through the air. Yet, the monster, ever the agile foe, twisted in mid-flight, adapting its momentum as it prepared to retaliate. Meanwhile, Alex and Kito quickly devised a plan to outsmart the creature, attempting to trap it in a deep hole. But with an uncanny grace, the monster dodged their trap as if it had seen it coming from a mile away. The battle was far from over; the stakes just got higher.
