Chapter 39 : NEST CRYSTAL

"where did you say they went to?" a military man asked a kid who left his friends to save his life

"they went searching for the source of the beast outbreak" Ronald replied

"Are they crazy ?" the man asked

"That should be an understatement sir, they are all being influenced by that curled long haired boy" Ronald said

"I pray they survive, we can't send help to them now, we need all the help we can get to protect the students here" the man muttered. "And who is this so called curled long haired boy?"

.............................................

Standing right at the front of a cave is Bright and his group....

"Listen up guys, I'll clear the entrance and make a path that will lead to the centre, before clearing another path that lead to the source, all you have to do is stop the beast from following me through the pathway to the source" Bright stated and immediately swung into action.

He moved with speed into the cave, the beast all stared at the intruder wondering if he had lost his mind, for him to dare trespass. Bright stared at the beast which lay around lazily, some perched on the holes around the cave, while others lay on the cave floor.

'Swoosh'

Bright dashed straight ahead toward the beasts, while they tried to attack him, a bright energy discharge from his body into the environment and a sizzling sound was heard, accompanied by the cries of beasts which were so unfortunate. He got to the centre of the cave in seconds and a loud explosion that shook the cave followed his trail.

"The light and dark blast did a good job, I hope the others can cover me up, they should be here soon, let's get this done" Bright muttered with a smile, before preparing to do the same thing.

'Purification'

A bright light shone once again this time far more brighter than the previous one, he dashed forward with immense speed this time which created a crater where he stood, his sight zoomed in on the path forward, he could see a shining black substance in the distance, immediately he increased his speed and entered into what seem like a giant bird nest.

'Earth rose from beneath him and sealed the entrance to the nest like structure. "What is this place?" he was amazed by the way in which the cave was carved into the visible structure, he felt two piercing gaze locked up on him and he decided to check out what owns them.

Right at his presence, he could see two giant eye eaters, one bigger than the other, they were protecting the shining black substance. When the beast noticed he wasn't staring at them but at the black substance, the female one out of the duo squealed. It was clear the intruder isn't here for them but for the black substance behind them.

It unveiled it's large wing and immediately charged at Bright..........

...............................................

'Bang'

A loud bang resounded in the cave and multiple abilities could be seen flying everywhere, while eyes eaters ravage a group of teenagers who are busy protecting a pathway.

"Damn it, does this beast not have an end?" Jerry shouted with frustration, his hands were hurt due to the constant use of his strings.

"Whatever he's doing, I hope he finishes it quickly, because I'm getting tired already" Mikel voiced out

"Ice spray!!!" Rina shouted and multiple Ice shards flew from different directions hitting the beasts and taking them out.

"I'm running out of energy, I need to take out more.... this is the sake of my brothers and my crush" Samuel muttered before exploding with more energy, the energy that left his body converged on everything around him, making them fall. The others had no choice but to leave his perimeter.

"Try to control your energy you block head, i can't takeout this things and at the same time prevent your poison from hurting the others" Andy voiced out while flames covered her hand and formed a whip, she swung out her hand and everything that come in contact to the whip got burnt to ashes.

The fight became heated with them using more energy.

................................................

Swoosh

Bright slided down, while avoiding the claw of the beast, a claw mark could be seen on the wall of the cave. He dashed to the side while trying to avoid the sudden maneuver but the force generated from the beast pushed him backward.

"fuck, now i end up in their midst, what kind of tricky situation is this?" Bright muttered.

" The beast that attacked you now is at the advance tier while the other one is a peak advance tier, so be careful" the system voiced out.

"wow" Bright exclaimed.

The female beast charged right at him again, this time planning to rip off his head, Bright moved to the side at the right time and punched it at the side of it's head, making it's head to be flunged to the side, moving in again he kicked it before it could regain composure, his hands became claw as he swung it right at the wings, the claw dig deep into the wings, making the beast screech.

His claw dug in the wings, while trying to remove it so as to go in for another attack, he felt a strong force before he could decide on what to do, a strong claw slashed his chest , sending him back.

"when did it move?" Bright said before examing his chest and could see his wound healing already. "that was deep, i have to take this fight serious" while preparing himself to take the fight serious, the male beast opened it's beak and screeched so loud which generated sound wave that went deep into everyone's ears in the cave.

Bright knelt down having beared the full brunt of the sound wave, his ears hurts and we're bleeding. "That really hurt, do you have to do that?" Bright questioned angrily.

The beast turned to him as if to respond, it opened it's mouth to give voice to another terrifying screech, "no you don't" Bright exclaimed and immediately moved from his position and delivered a strong punch on its face, forcefully closing it's beak.

The beast slammed heavily on the cave's floor making part of it split, "time is counting already, you need to stop messing around dumbo" the system chided.

"Yeah let's take it serious" Bright muttered before dashing to the side, his twin blades appeared on his hands while he avoided the claws of the female beast.

Due to its flexible body it twisted itself oddly and choose to bite down on him with its beast, Bright raised his hand and shove his left blade into it's mouth making sure it is stuck on the edges. The beak couldn't stop the momentum of it's closing beak so the beak clasped down on the blade which pierced it and got stuck on it.

The beast give a painful cry, Bright jumped up while spiralling downward he slammed the back if his foot heavily with the aid of ATP, he slammed it on the beast's head, making the blade Pierce it and poo out from the other side, the ATP triggered a chain reaction in the blade which led to a discharge of energy that coaxed around and became small blades which pierced the beast on every side.

'BAM'

The beast fell on the floor and didn't move it's body, (what the) he raised his head after feeling a piercing gaze on him , the male beast opened it's mouth again and this time it's mouth glowed a dark shade which look as if a vortex was being formed in it's mouth.

"Wrong move!!" Bright raised the blade in his hand and released little of his three form of energy's into it, the blade vibrated intensely as he threw it with as fast has he could straight into the beast's mouth, the blade went through the beast's mouth and came out at the other end of it's body, the beast fell after being divided into two halves.

"Now it's your turn to go " Bright smiled and move to take the nest Crystal, he cut off the net around it and removed the crystal which was gigantic. "wow, I've never seen a crystal as big as this, what does this really do? " while he was busy scrutinizing the crystal, the cave shook and the point at which the crystal previously was began to collapse.

As if on cue the cave begin to give in and a chain reaction began"I need to get out if here, let me warn the others so they can have an head start, but you both are coming with me, no spoil will be wasted" Bright said before making the beasts bodies disappear into his separate space.

"HEY GUYS, YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW AT ALL COST!!!" He shouted on his voice with the aid of ATP, he dashed forward with speed and reaped his earlier statement, by the time he got to their position, they were not there anymore.

.,.............................................

"What was all that about, why the loud yell and the giant quake" Jerry questioned. They all heard Bright's warning and decided to escape.

"Over there, i think the cave is collapsing" Sylvia pointed out. The rest of the group looked over.

" Something is coming" Rina muttered

"It has a human shape, such speed hmm" Andy joined in .

" What are they talking about, i can't see anything" Mikel cleaned his eyes, trying to get a clear view but it was futile.

"Will he make it?" James decided to join the conversation.

"He too can see what they are seeing, how?" Mikel was dumbstruck, but looking back at James he could see him place a device coated in gold on his face(like an artificial eye), oh i see, a talented inscription student.

"He can't make it with this speed, if my calculations are correct" James spoke again

" He, he who is the he? " Samuel asked confusedly and everyone turned to stare at him. "Hey why the stare, did i say something bad, or is there something on my face? " his questions led to them shaking their heads.

" I keep wondering how he ended with you guys, he seems more like a misfit" Sylvia said while shaking her head.

" Misfit, she actually called me a misfit? Tha....." Crumble, a crumbling sound interrupted him.

" He didn't make it after all" Ben said

"He did, he has.........
