Chapter 228 227: Son of Yig The Father of Serpents
Divine's exclamation made Rosa and Fatty Black Bonez turn their heads toward the trembling mountain, and their faces changed drastically when they realized that the mountain was most likely not a mountain.
With every second that passed, the mountain exuded an aura that made the breaths of the four stifled. Although they didn't know how powerful the 'mountain' was, they knew they were no match for it, and it was at least tier 4.
'This aura… this eldritch energy. Don't tell me it belongs to somebody related to Yig the Father of Serpents?'
'How's this possible?'
'Why are there beings possessing eldritch energy here?'
'What the hell is this world?'
'And what the hell is that bastard Clown planning?'
'I have to kill him no matter what.'
Divine's expression turned grim as he realized the chances of them making it out alive from this death race were extremely small.
"Where exactly is the portal kid?"
"Inside the castle."
Corey pointed at the top of the castle with a solemn expression. If he were right, they would have to run to reach the portal.
Divine, Rosa, and Fatty also knew this, but what other choice did they have?
"What are you waiting for, Rosa? Get to the portal. Now."
Divine's voice was stern as he spoke, and the urgency in his voice made everyone realize the gravity of the situation.
Rosa hit the accelerator, and Racing Wolf shot forward, the wind howling around them as they raced toward the castle. The mountain continued to tremble, and the ground shook beneath their feet as they drove.
The closer they got to the castle, the more the earth shook, and Corey knew they were running out of time.
The castle was now looming over them, its dark spires reaching towards the sky like spears.
Divine gritted his teeth and spoke.
"We have to get to the portal before that thing wakes up, no matter what."
He could feel the slumbering eldritch entity waking up, and the flashes of energy it emitted made Divine's expression grave.
'It's at least a tier 5 eldritch, or maybe a tier 6.'
Rosa nodded in agreement, her hands tightening on the steering wheel. She slammed the accelerator, and Racing Wolf's speed increased.
As they approached the castle gates, Corey activated his Eyes of Omniscience and looked around for any sign of danger, but to his surprise, confusion, and relief, he found none.
Not a single living being appeared in his sight.
His gaze moved to the top of the castle where the portal was located, but the instant his gaze landed on the top of the castle, he frowned.
He could see a massive amount of energy being emitted from the top of the castle, which bothered him a little.
"I can sense a massive amount of energy at the location of the portal."
Deciding not to use the word 'see' but 'sense', Corey reckoned it was better to tell his teammates about the energy being radiated from the top of the castle. At least, if he told them, they would not be caught off-guard and would have a higher chance of surviving whatever it was that was emitting such a vast amount of energy.
Divine frowned and looked at the top of the castle, but he couldn't perceive any sort of energy from the castle. His red and blue eyes glowed, and after a few seconds, the glow died down. But Divine's frown became deeper.
Even when he used his Ember Vision and Arctic Sight, he saw nothing.
However, he didn't believe that Corey was lying to them. He was inwardly surprised that Corey's sensitivity to energies was either higher than his or that Corey had a unique technique or artifact that increased his perceptivity to energies.
"Thanks for that. At least we wouldn't be caught off-guard if an enemy at the top of the castle."
Divine did not intend to question how Corey could perceive the energy despite him being curious.
It was not his business, and…
'That eldritch is about to awaken.'
Divine's eyes became solemn as he stared at the rising mountain.
'I'll kill that bastard. No matter what, I shall not fail.'
"Cap! We're here. Get down."
Fatty Black Bonez's weak shout resounded in Divine's mind, bringing him out of his thoughts.
Divine looked around, and he saw the castle doors right in front of them. Without saying a word, he got down from the Racing Wolf.
He gave the castle a brief glance. Then he looked at Corey, Rosa, and Fatty Black Bonez, who had gotten out of Racing Wolf.
He touched Racing Wolf, and in the next instant, Racing Wolf disappeared.
'His inventory can take a car?'
Corey had a surprised expression as he gazed at the previous location of Racing Wolf. Although he was curious, he decided not to ask.
"Let's go."
Divine said, then he walked to the gates, and to everybody's surprise, he kicked the doors down with so much force that the doors flew until they hit the other side of the castle with a loud bang.
His eyes scanned the dark and empty, eerie interior of the castle. The walls were lined with torches, casting flickering shadows across the stone floors.
"Move quickly."
Without caring about the dangers that could be in the castle, Divine spoke and then sprinted to the winding staircase.
Corey briefly activated Eyes of Omniscience and looked around for any traps or hidden enemies, but he found none.
'Strange.'
Corey thought, but decided not to think too much about it and followed after Divine, along with Rosa and Fatty.
Fatty inhaled and exhaled heavily as he pushed his body to its limits. His entire body was wracked with so much pain that he wanted nothing but to scream in the bosom of a beautiful woman.
'Ignore the pain and survive.'
'Ignore the pain and survive.'
'Ignore the pain and survive.'
'Ignore the pain and survive.'
Fatty Black Bonez kept on repeating these words in his mind as his will to survive was stronger than the power held by a beautiful woman among men.
As they climbed up the winding staircase, a tremor ran through the castle, and a malicious and otherwordly energy permeated it.
"Move quickly!"
Divine shouted, and in the next instant, flames appeared from his feet. He moved toward Fatty Black Bonez, and to Fatty Black Bonez's shock and horror, Divine carried him in a princess-like manner.
"What-"
lightsnοvεl.cοm The flames at his feet exploded, and a second later, his figure flew forward.
Although he would have loved to blast through the castle's roofs, The Clown made a rule that prohibited flying.
"What are you guys doing?! MOVE!"
