BATTLE CRY'S

Lontara 35: Mysterious Places

The more they walked the atmosphere became so cold, Andros decided to go straight out but the Veins forced it to go deeper, and the, The curious Andros also ended up going deeper until they found something glowing from behind the rock.

They saw the gazelle standing firmly and then touching his feet on a door in this cave. The door exuded an attractive aura and decorated with beautiful ornaments.

The deer entered and glanced back as if knowing that Andros and Vena were following him. The two of them were curious to turn off the torch and walked slowly into the door.

The door contained a cold dark passageway. But on the wall there was a small crystal that glowed dimly and slightly showed the way.

When they entered the door it was immediately closed and locked.

"Damn, we're stuck!!" Vein cursed loudly and then banged on the door but in vain.

"There's no other choice, we have to find another way. It's possible that at the end of this hallway there's a way out, hopefully" Andros pulled out his knife and raised his vigilance, it's possible that this hallway contains a trap.

Vein nodded then walked slowly behind Andros, Andros let out a cold sweat and his heart rate increased rapidly. And he felt the more they got into oxygen the less and the thinner.

"It's very difficult to breathe here" Vein tried to get air into her lungs but there was little oxygen she could breathe.

Andros can still breathe stably because it uses the Sun and Moon breathing technique although over time he also has difficulty breathing.

"I'm not strong.." Vein collapsed behind Andros.

"The vein!" Andros lifted Vein's body and ran as fast as he could forward. It was already impossible to return because they had walked for quite a long time.

Andros ran and concentrated at the same time, he should not lose his focus because if his breathing was chaotic then he could not take them both out of this passageway.

Vein had fainted and her heart rate slowed andros forced his leg and he felt his head about to rupture and his lungs shriveling.

He regretted his decision to follow the antelope, he limped and saw a crystal that gave off a bright light and illuminated a door at the end of the hallway.

'there he is, defend Vena' Andros ran and broke the door. When entering the door it was immediately closed again and thankfully behind the door was filled with breathable air.

As Andros took a deep breath and quickly removed the Vein mask, he breathed with relief and he saw an up and down motion on Vein's chest that indicated the girl could already breathe.

They just lay there and set their breaths, Vena woke up and coughed and asked where they were.

Andros shook his head and looked around, they were in a large room that had shelves containing countless old books and manuscripts. Like a giant library.

Andros helped Vena to stand up and lead him on his way because of his sprained legs, this room has a torch lighting on the pole and table of this room.

Andros asked why this torch is still burning when viewed from the dust in this room has long been this place is not touched by humans.

Andros picked up one of the books and cleaned the cover, the cover was made of leather and had a beautiful silver ornament. Andros took the book and lit a candle at the table where Vein was sitting and Andros sat down in the chair intending to read it.

He opened the first page and widened his eyes.

"Silver Boxing Book!"

Andros was surprised because this book contained the Book of Martialism. A book like this was extremely difficult to obtain in the Geateria Kingdom. Andros continued to open the page and sure enough, this book contains how to master the Silver Punch not to mention here on the exposition of the channeling of energy into each attack.

"This is not a martial book combined with Magic but deep power!" Andros did not cease to be surprised when he opened the pages of the book.

Veins who were also curious asked Andros about the inner energy. Andros explained about the inner energy to the Veins.

Vena was shocked because there was such a science in this world and what was even more surprising to Vena was that Andros could not use magic at all.

"So how do you have such an ability?," asked Vena.

"I've been through a very strenuous physical exercise for five years that makes my physical ability strong and I'm learning the inner power that can make my physical energy increase by several times. He also studied swordsmanship and the blows that my father had handed down" Vena listened to Andros' story in disbelief.

Andros then showed me the seal Scar made on his stomach. The seal is round with a unique pattern that is drawn on the belly of Andros.

"I can't use magic because my body can't absorb Magic Energy, because of this creature that is sealed in my body." Vena looked at the seal seriously once again he was amazed by this young man before him.

This young man did not give up on his limited abilities and kept trying even though the world seemed to curse him and forget about him.

Andros again looked at the pile of books and manuscripts. Andros felt like jumping up in excitement, all of the books were rare precious books and manuscripts.

Andros was so excited to open the book and look at the contents one by one until a loud sound was heard.

---

Vena turned her red face back on her mask to cover her face, though wearing Andros' mask knew she was embarrassed.

"I forgot if we haven't eaten anything." Andros scratched his head. But what he thinks is how Uncle Ozo and Hazel are out there, they must be worried.

Andros got up and looked around, maybe the antelope was still here. He walked through the shelf with a torch in his hand. Then his eyes caught a beam of light at the end of the room.

Andros half ran towards the light and he was again surprised, it was a door that opened a little until the sunlight from outside entered the room.
