Homo-Abel Chapter Twenty four (24) ( The Labyrinth )

Two years later

( The snow mountains )

Kane was busy preparing something when Cesar walked into the room.

Cesar looked more older and was more muscular than before also he his sliver hair had grown to be longer than before.

" all done.....I see " Kane said as he continued preparing whatever it was he was doing.

" yeah I have been in this human form for so long that it feels like I never had an additional ability " Cesar said but Kane just continued what he was doing without saying a word.

" what are doing? " Cesar asked curiously. " I was hoping you would ask " Kane said as he brought what he was preparing and it seems to be an artifact or talisman that looked like someone's face.

" this is what I call The Seal " Kane explained as he snapped his fingers and the seal was on Cesar's hand.

Cesar began to stare at it and for some reason the seal just happens to draw his attention.

" your next mission is simple and has the most reward all you need to do is put this thing in a particular place and you will unlock both your ability and earn some rewards in the process " Kane explained.

Cesar then nodded " I will call the team immediately " then Cesar attempted to go but Kane held his hands to stop him.

" this is a mission in which you must go alone " Kane said with a friendly smile.

" you will see a level two beast there...it will be the first creature with immense power you will encounter so be careful " Kane explained as he snapped his fingers and Cesar disappears.

The Labyrinth of unforgettable Souls

Cesar appeared in a dark room he was shocked because he never taught he would be sent to the place immediately without getting any of his newly obtained gear.

" that son of a bitch I didn't even grab the new sword he got me " Cesar cursed when a green light suddenly appeared from no where and to Cesar shock there was man standing in front of him.

" welcome " The man said but Cesar didn't show any sign of fear neither did he looked scared.

" I see you have harnessed the power of fear and weaponized it " the man said his voice was thick and dark and the moment he spoke his voice echoed through the darkness.

The man had a black cloak on and it covered his face, from the shape of his body figure he looked old.

Even so Cesar could tell that this man would could kill him without even breaking a sweat.

" am sorry who are you? " Cesar asked wanting to know if this was the beast he was going to face.

" I am not the beast if that's what you are asking..I am only here to guard you " the man said calmly.

Cesar for a minute began to think if this man could read minds but then immediately dismissed the thought and upheld his composure.

Cesar was a little bit confused when he took a glance around his environment only to notice that the green colored light could only cover six feet ahead of him.

" the light will be your eyes, it will lead you to the right place...Do not stray from the light.. I repeat do not stray from the light good luck " The man said as he vanished.

" I would listen to him if i were you follow me " the light said as it moved

" oh my God you can talk " Cesar exclaimed.

" yeah everything here is alive even the Labyrinth itself " the light said " wait I am in a Labyrinth... I taught Kane said I... " Cesar attempted to say but the light seemed to freak out and disappeared.

" what the hell? Where did you go? " Cesar said confused as he everywhere was dark again " what the hell is this? " Cesar commented angrily.

" I wasted all my energy moving that snow mountain am not sure if I can make a fire now " Cesar muttered to himself as he snapped his hands and a fire ball appeared.

As Cesar activated the fire ball he found out that the fire ball couldn't light more that six feet no matter how large the fire was.

" don't you dare leave me " Cesar said to the fire ball and immediately started walking down and all of a sudden he saw he a hall that lead down with only a faint light beaming from the distance.

" how the hell am I suppose to know if that's the place " Cesar said suddenly the fire ball he created began to die down slowly.

" it's not like I have a choice right...God I hate this place already " Cesar said and he began to run down the hall towards the light.

Soon he reached the place where the light was emitting from and saw that it was a large room with touches " so that's were the lights I saw down the hall is coming from ".

That was when he noticed the wall, the saw that the wall was moving like there was something in it.

" he sent you here right? " a voice was heard from behind Cesar he quickly turned around and saw a man standing there.

This one was different from the first one, firstly this man was younger about forty years old, the man had long gray hair and dressed ragged but he looked very healthy.

The dark energy that came out of him made Cesar feel a little sick as he was feeling dizzy.

" so he sent you here to train i see " the man said but Cesar didn't respond.

" my name is Malcolm incase if your too scared to talk " Malcolm said with a friendly smile.

Cesar finally gathered himself together and spoke " where am I? " " oh he speaks...am so sorry if you stay here as long I have you would find it hard to believe what you see " Malcolm said once more.

" how long have you been here? " Cesar asked " somewhere around two thousand years..but for the outside world it would probably be around seven to eight " Malcolm spoke with a friend smile.

" eight years or... " Cesar said trying to clarify " you are a funny one...thousand... eight thousand years " Malcolm said with a chuckle.

Cesar was shocked " you know, time flys when you are in a Labyrinth " Malcolm said.

" the way I see it Kanolius sent you here to unlock two things your abilities and your cultivation techniques ".

Cesar was shocked and surprised once more " how do you know that ? " Cesar asked.

" you are holding a decimated Talisman which only two people in the entire cosmos can create the Dark Lord and Kanolius his brother " Malcolm said with a smile.

" who the hell is Dark Lord I heard that name from Kane before, and who the hell is this Kanolius guy is it Kane? " Cesar taught to himself.

" I can help you because you seem lost but nothing in this world is free " the man said calmly this time the smile on his face has disappeared.

" you lost your smile " Cesar said trying to change the topic " something tells me that this man he could kill me with the snap of his fingers " Cesar taught to himself.

" smiling is just a drug people use to make each other feel comfortable " Malcolm said " the old me would have killed you and take that talisman and escaped but .... " Malcolm said.

" how did you get trapped here ? " Cesar asked curiously " circumstances " Malcolm said" make a pact with me and I will help you get what you want but in return you will come back to free me ".

Cesar taught about this for a while before replying " what got you here in the first place and don't lie to me " Cesar said with confidence feeling he had the upper hand.

" I wiped out two realms that had the totally of sixteen billion individuals just because two creatures from both realms had an argument in a travan and accidentally spilled my once in twenty years Immortal imperium drink " Malcolm said with a smile.

Cesar was overwhelmed and afraid he then began to think of a way to escape from this maniac.

" how powerful exactly are you ? " Cesar asked " you see that tree Kanolius usually mention.... " Malcolm said.

immediately Cesar understood three things, firstly Kane is actually Kanolius and the brother to the Dark Lord and secondly Malcolm was once Kanolius knew each other.

" yes " Cesar said " well I am at the highest leaf in that tree well that will be if I haven't surpassed the tree " Malcolm said with a smile.

Cesar was so shocked he didn't even realize he was on his knees due to the dark energy Malcolm emitted " look that's what they try to do, they put limitations in your head telling you what you can't surpass but should I tell you what's supposed to drive you...the will to prove them wrong " Malcolm said.

" obtain the passage to this realm come and visit me and I will teach you everything I know and here's one secret to prove my sincerity " Malcolm said as he tone lowered.

Malcolm came close to Cesar as he was still on his knees and whispered in his ears slowly " all that you know is a lie, it's just an illusion conjured by the weak to inflict fear...the real world is down the water fall and it's called Earth but as for now I am the only being who knows the way there " As Malcolm spoke images flooded from his head into Cesar's and Cesar seemed to pass out.

Malcolm then stood over him and smiled

" the first person I showed died this being is promising " Malcolm said.

The man in the cloak appeared from nowhere " what are you doing? " the man asked " why is he on the floor? Don't tell me you did it again " the man asked " chill he just passed out he is fine " Malcolm said with a smile.

" I don't know what you are looking for in this beings Malcolm but I sure hope you don't find it " the man said.

" always as cocky as ever Devon " Malcolm said as he faded away Devon then snapped his fingers as he and Cesar disappeared.

" Devon so that's his name " Cesar thought to himself, Cesar had pretended to faint because the information was flooding his mind faster than his brain could process so he decided block out the memories and pretended to pass out to see if Malcolm would fall for it.

" you know Malcolm is more powerful than that , if I could tell that you weren't out cold don't you think he knows that already " Devon voice spoke and the green light appeared again this time they stopped at a room.

" we are here..I have only one advice for you.... don't die ".
