Underwater cave

Alfin had stayed near the lake for more than a year while practicing his aura force and has increased the capacity in his bank of aura force, now he was so strong that he did not need any effort in killing the monsters. He was having so much fun these days, he was training his aura force inside the lake to increase the efficiency of his training.

Training underwater helped him a lot in increasing his strength and controlling the aura force and now he could easily throw out some aura force out of his body. Alfin has created a technique of aura force himself which was inspired by some tv show, he called it finger bullet in which he he compressed aura force on his finger and made it spiral to increase its speed and finally launch.

It had a devastating penetrating power, he could kill any monster monster in one shot with it but the aura force consumption was too much when he force it out of his body, he could only shoot four bullets right now and it takes long time to prepare a single finger bullet. So he has to increase the capacity of aura force in his body to use it more than four time and he had to train a lot to decrease the time to create a finger bullet.

For training underwater he goes deep in the lake and practice martial arts with his whole body reinforced with aura force. Which helped Alfin in controlling the flow of aura force in his body and it also depletes his aura force faster which helped him in increasing his stamina and capacity for the aura force. He could hold his breadth underwater for a little over fifteen minutes right now and the he had to go back to the surface for breathing after fifteen minutes.

He was so absorbed in training that he even forgot about checking how big the lake really was, he only goes for monster hunting in the jungle only in the nearby areas. One day when Alfin finally got bored of training so much he thought of checking out the lake. He finally did his preparations to check out the lake, he started swimming towards the other side of the lake.

When he swam for more then twenty kilometers he saw small island in a two kilometer distance, standing in between the lake. It looked like an ancient man made island because it was too perfect in shape from the side he saw, he swam with full speed towards it to finally reach there in a minute. When he finally set his foot on this island he felt his whole body shivering, something here was causing his whole body to shake.

What was this feeling he was not able to figure it out, he went deep inside the island only to see beautiful flower field, he had never seen this type of flowers before, as to say he had never seen a flower in this world. The smell from these flowers were mesmerizing, he stayed there for a while to calm himself down and then went to further investigate the island.

Alfin was not able to find anything peculiar on the island, the island was in a proper shape of a circle, he had never seen such a perfectly shaped island. It had a diameter of three kilometer, and there was nothing worth mentioning except for the flower field and its circular shape. But his feeling of uneasiness has still not gone away.

He thought for a while and came to conclusion that if the thing that is causing him uneasiness is not on the island then it might be under the island. So just to make sure he went underwater to check the island from below. It took him an hour to check it thoroughly and was finally able to find an small opening to an cave under the island, which was big enough for only human sized thing to get in.

Without any hesitation Alfin tried to get inside that opening but there was a thin layer water that was preventing him to go inside, so he put some force behind to get in. He was able to get inside after much effort only to see that the water was not getting inside through the layer water and the inside of the cave was dry, even the lake water was not able to seep through that layer.

There was narrow path that was leading to somewhere in between the island but there was immense pressure and every step Alfin took forward it kept increasing, he was not able to move any further and was almost collapsed on the entrance only. He finally got the reason behind his uneasiness when he was above on ground, there was something at the end of this path which was so strange and strong that was causing him to feel fear.
