Crypt of the Oracle

Below the dome was a cavern . Or so called crypt . But why would you have a dragon guard this .

To find this secret we Me , McElroy and Lilia dived down deep into the caverns .

The cavern was dark so I used fire to light the way .

Jay :

So Lilia why are you with us , shouldn't you check on others .

Lilia :

After seeing you two I just felt like being a 3rd member in your party .

McElroy:

That's so sweet .

McElroy:

So Lilia what do you do for a living.

Lilia :

As a mage I have many responsibility first is research . We test various devices provide to us by other inventors , Do scientific research to deepen our understanding about mana.

Lilia : Do you both just do guild work .

McElroy : We'll mostly but because we are looking for the keys to the gate .

do you know something about that .

Lilia :

If I knew something I would have already left this world .

Still feel diving in the caverns we felt the oxygen decreasing as we move further . And my fire consumed the oxygen available rapidly .

After walking for 10 minutes straight we came towards a dead end .

Lilia : Dead end we walked so much just to see a wall .

Jay : McElroy break the wall .

McElroy swing his arm and punched the wall . The wall cracked . And the wall fell .

Revealing a further path We travelled until we saw a brink of light which increased as we went near .

Around the light there was flora and an elevated tree stump . On which an old lady with wrinkled face and old clothes was sitting on the stump meditating .

She slowly opened her eyes .

Old woman :

It's been a long time since anyone came to meet me. Oh my you look exhausted take a seat .

A tree stump appeared before us .

We sat on it .

Old woman:

Ask me what you want to ask . I know everything about everything. Your past present future , fate,.destiny everything.

Jay : This is not a question but did who are you and why are you in such a place .

Old woman:

Oh my boy , don't you see the paradox in your words .

Old woman :

As for who I am . I am something like a. oracle and this place is where I live my final days . I am not trapped I choose to be here .And I knew that you soon will come here .

You have three questions left .

I think I should try to circumvent this question .

Jay :

Give us the answers for the question we ask in the future .

Old woman :

I maybe old but I still haven't lost my touch . Now I won't reduce your number but remember these tricks won't be tolerated again .

We discussed the questions we.jad.in our mind . Lilia wanted to ask something so I asked her to.go last as it seemed important.

Jay :

My question is where are the remaining gate keys .

Old woman:

You need not to worry about it as they are to be obtained by you. it is your destiny .

Jay :

Do you know how can I get out of here . The void .

Old woman:

You need not worry it just a matter of patience . Though you might get much better answer if you directly meet him .

Lilia:

Wher is Mari--- (interrupted,)

McElroy:

What is the God Slayer. And why do I feel something familiar when I hear his name .

Lilia was extremely furious and sorrowful when her voice wasnt heard . She was about to kill McElroy.

When like a gentleman he stood besides her and whispered .

Jay : You get what you deserve .

Lilia was so utterly humiliated that she felt like dying . She knew that she would be immediately shut down if she tried anything so she remained quiet .

Old woman :

This is a long tale so be seated.

A long long time ago during the divine era 993 years ago . The name Helios had become very prominent in every household . At that time he fought for righteousness . Against the Elder gods .

The Elder gods were deities much more stronger than anyone in the world . Including the lower gods .

Jay : Elder gods .

Old woman :

Elder gods are deities which were elder to the lower gods . They were said to be cruel and horrifying whilst being powerful and divine like a wrathful and prideful God. On the living beings in these lands and on the gods themselves .

Thus they staged a rebellion and killed the elder gods . God Slayer is the one who dealt the final blow .

The story continues ....

Meanwhile in another front .

Officer:

She is related to you by blood.

? : There must be a mistake .

(Reads the paper thoroughly)

(Slams the paper on the desk)

Officer:

We tried to interrogate her but she doesn't remember anything .

Her medical tests show the result that she was silenced .

Another walks through the door .

? :

? ,: What are you doing here I told you to investigate the issue about the

Demon king's disappearance .

? : Okey dokey . I'm going but don't have all the fun alone .
