ARYA MAHESA
Entering the Ruins
Time pass. Today, they agreed to continue what had been planned. The five would enter the ruins to see what they could find there.
Today, thousands of people are standing in front of a large cave at the foot of a hill covered with thousands of years old trees.
It was not an ordinary hill, the not-so-high mound turned out to be a very large former building that had been abandoned for a very long time. Until, it can no longer be known the original form of the building because it has been entirely covered by the forest.
However, it looks like the big cave is not the only way into there. There are twenty little caves there. Five caves are on the right left of the largest cave while the other ten are on the top. Obviously, the caves were previously the doors that led to a certain place when this building was still intact.
Like the information Bai Hua and Ciel had conveyed earlier, there were three large groups that looked to dominate all the participants.
Although it did not look like they would attack each other, but the aura there felt a little gripping. It was all because each swordsman carried equipment that seemed ready to fight at any time.
It's not just the Aryan group. There were some small groups who seemed reluctant to join the three groups and decided to enter with their members only. But, their numbers could not be said to be small.
The smallest group had at least a hundred members with the king's warriors as leaders. However there was one group that caught the attention of Ciel and the others.
The group only had about a hundred people. But, if noticed, there were at least more than fifty swordsmen of kings with two holy warriors incorporated in them. The group, however, did not seem intimidated by the others.
Bai Fan watched Arya who had been glancing at the group led by the two holy warriors, come over. "Aryans. I think that group, also cannot be underestimated!"
"Looks like. I sense that they're quite dangerous."
Rarely does Arya pin the word danger to a particular person or group. Although they could measure one's level of strength through deep power, but Arya's assessment made the other four more wary.
When the sun rises a little higher. The one who was standing at the front of several others, in front of the mouth of the cave began to speak.
"As we know before, that today the ruins behind me will be opened soon. We don't know what's in there yet, but whatever we find out, the government will give twenty percent to whichever group first finds it!"
The alleged royal man paused his words. Then looked at the groups that were in front of him.
But, there was something that caught Arya's attention. Saay the man spoke, he used a kind of stick with energy stones on it so that his voice sounded clear and loud.
"That's a loudspeaker. One of the magic items made by the people in the Western Continent!" Ciel who realized what made Arya slightly widen her eyes immediately explained to her.
Arya nodded in understanding. Indeed he sensed it was that thing that made the sound that spoke using it, become clear and powerful.
'It turns out the energy stone has many functions' inner Arya with a smile.
"The rules are just that. You are free to make any effort to find something valuable in it. It's just that, for the sake of the common good, we from the royal side are asking all of you not to attack each other's fellow adventurers!"
Those words got a sneer from almost every group. They all did not believe the nonsense that the speaker said. Because, they were the ones who originally made a large group and started an open partnership that caused discord between adventurers.
"All right! If everyone understands, then these ruins, now, are open to everything!"
Without waiting any longer, everyone had already started moving to enter the ruins. Large groups appear to divide several members into smaller caves. The rest went through the biggest cave.
"We'd better get in through the cave which is right above the main cave!"
They deliberately let all the groups in first, until they all started to step up.
"Aren't all the doors to the first floor?"
"Yes! Why should we split up?"
"Just follow the leader. We're here not only looking, but also watching!"
There were the voices of some adventurers who were talking to their fellows in front of the five.
It is true that all those doors lead to the first floor. However, there was something that made the door chosen by Ciel slightly different from the others.
The doors led them into a hallway that was about a hundred meters long. The walls of the hallway are made of a very hard black natural stone arrangement.
Ciel with his eyes, could distinguish the type of batun that was used to make the hallway different from the others.
Now they reached the end of the hall. There, they were now in an enormous hall. The light from outside could still penetrate through to this first floor.
Below, the floor of the large Hall was already filled with adventurers. On the left right of the floor, there are two other large doors that have stairs leading down.
From above, the five of them could see the entire room which was very large. If not careful, entering through the upper door will feel useless because there is no other door that can be found there.
Some of the groups that arrived first, immediately jumped to the bottom floor to catch up with the others.
However, Ciel stopped their steps.
"I can sense that those two big doors are indeed ushering us to the next floor. But, there was no way that this hallway made with different stones had no particular purpose."
They think the same thing. However, since there was not the slightest clue about the shape of the building, they could not immediately understand why there was a door at the top if the doors were not going anywhere.
"I'm sure it's some kind of way to get whoever comes in here to think that only those two doors can get them to the next floor!" Said Bai Fan.
They continued to watch the group that had split into two, and weaved through the two stairs that led downwards.
"I think I can find out!" Luna.
Before Luna could do anything, another group who also passed through the other upper door, approached them.
"Stop your steps, get there!"
An extremely condensed killing aura, instantly filled the Area. When they looked, instantly all eyes widened. They were convinced, that the group was part of a group that Arya had considered dangerous before.
Now, there, the two Sacred Warriors the leader of the group, were staring intently at them.
