Finding the Sacred Tree

The Underground Room

Syo and I went out of the room and told Vivi that we were waiting outside that we were going to go to the basement to play in the war.

Not much to ask, Vivi directly showed us the way. We went down to the first floor and went to the garden behind the house. There's nothing there. There was only an empty green field without any beautiful plants or statues like the garden in front.

"Umm...what do we want here? Said we were going to the basement."

"Wait a minute, sir."

Vivi reached into her pocket and pulled out a very beautiful ring which she then used on her index finger on her right hand.

I knew it wasn't an ordinary ring let alone a wedding ring. It's a magic tool. I don't know the function of the ring, but after removing the ring. Vivi pulled out a small piece of paper in her pocket.

On the paper it seemed like there was quite a long writing and it seemed like it was a spell.

Vivi recited the mantra written on the paper aloud. Shortly after Vivi cast a spell, the ring on her finger emitted a bright green light. The longer he cast the spell, the brighter the light became. The more he read the spell out loud, the brighter the light was as well.

After Vivi had already recited the spell. He directly smashed his hand into the ground which made the ground in the field crack and was like it was split into two.

Then the ground suddenly shook and the crack separated into 2 parts. They separated further and further away which in the end the crack made a hole that was quite large.

At the bottom of the hole was a ladder leading down. The ladder is made of iron that looks new because it is still very shiny

Her walls were so, she was made of a brand new iron with decorated glowing balls every 3 meters.

"Okay, sir, let's go in."

"Wow..so sophisticated."

We also went down. The first one down was Vivi because she was wearing a Skirt. Which then I went down by carrying Syo on my back.

Initially Syo wanted to go down by himself, but because the distance between the handles of the stairs was quite far and Syo could not reach him. So I carried her because I was afraid she would fall.

The depth of this hole is quite deep. Maybe it can go up to 50 meters deep. And honestly because my hand was cut off. My hands were shaking and could not lift a weight that weighed no more than 10 kilos.

But luckily before my hand went limp, we got to the bottom of the hole. In that place there was only one passageway with the same wall as before. This hallway is nothing. The room is not there, the wall is not there. Anyway this place is very plain with a ball of light every 3 meters.

"Well we'll just have to walk a few more meters, sir."

"Foolah. Do you want to be carried or go down?"

"Just carry on."

"Okay, then hold it tight."

"Okay sister."

We walked down that hallway too. It's so boring to walk here. If I were Tapoc's uncle here, I would give him something like a collection of magic tools or something unique. And maybe I'll give you a wall of paint that looks futuristic like white or ash.

After 1 minute of walking we finally arrived at a room that was quite large, unlike the hallway earlier. It's all white here and there's nothing here but 1 thing. There was a sword in the middle of the room.

The sword looks so cool. He was black with a blade like a wave. To be honest, I was confused as to why the sword was there. For me it just ruins the view. And again what are we here for.

I thought when we got here we would be greeted by the waiter like before, but apparently not, here there is no one but Me, Syo and Vivi.

There's nothing, there's nobody. Then we want to play the war how if gini.

"Okay, you want a sword like always, young master."

"Yes." Yeah."

"What do you want then, sir?"

"What do you mean?"

"Master, what kind of sword do you want? The big one, the little one, or the little one like Mr. Sho."

"Hmm.so be it."

"Well then."

I'm actually a little confused to be asked that. Why did he suddenly ask about the sword I chose. But here is nothing. Here is just an empty room with a cool sword in the middle of the room.

Then suddenly, a bull monster appeared with a muscular human-like body that appeared out of nowhere and when. The monster was about 5 meters tall with black to brown skin color.

The monster whipped out the sword in the middle of the room and in an instant the room turned red. In addition to color changes, there are also disturbing sounds such as "Danger! The monster threat is coming."

The sound continued to sound until it finally stopped when another bull monster appeared. Unlike the large bull monster, the other monster was only about 2 meters in size. The number of monsters was very large there might be around 30s with 1 large monster.

"Okay mali we beat those ugly monstels, brother."

I turned towards Syo and he was dressed in full battle armor and also a small sword he was holding with both hands.

"When did you dress that way and where did it all come from."

"So, I wear it too."

I see myself and I am right. I was wearing a full battle suit with a sword that I held in my right hand.

"When have I worn this."

When I was confused by the situation. The monsters are already moving towards us, ready to attack us.

"Sister, don't tell her. We better get to the snuggle or the meleka that interrupts us first."

Syo nimbly darted towards the monster horde. At first I was worried about him for fear that he would do anything. But my worries disappeared when he managed to finish off 5 bull monsters in an instant.

He was very fast with the size of a small child, even I had thought that this Syo was an adult disguised as a child. Then when he managed to finish off one of the monsters, I just realized that they did not bleed at all and from there I concluded that what Syo is fighting is probably an illusion and maybe this place is a magic tool belonging to uncle tapoc who it allows us to create illusions as we please.

"Oh that's it.just look easy. Then I'll attack too."

I also ran forward and intended to attack one of the monsters, but when I hit the monster. He endured my attack with ease. Even he was seen not using any power at all to withstand my attacks.

The monster immediately replied to me by punching me in the stomach. At first I thought it wouldn't hurt because they were illusions, but when the punch hit my stomach. It's really not an illusion, the pain is the same when you play seriously with me first.

Because of the blow I crashed far enough to hit the wall behind me. When I crashed it turned out there was Vivi beside me she looked relaxed to see Syo fight.

"You better be careful, sir, because this is not an illusion, but it is real. All the monsters in there are clay controlled by master Tapoc's magic tools, so if you get hit it will hurt a lot."

I stood staggering, my sword was gone. He was taken by the monster. I wiped the water on my lips. Whether it's saliva or water from my vomit, I don't know.

"You better tell me early. So I don't have to lose my sword."

"I'm sorry, sir, I thought you knew."

"You're not hiding? I'll have to attack later."

"If it's quiet, sir. The monster will only attack those who wear armor."

"Oh yeah.. Do you have another sword? My sword has been taken away by the monster."

"No master, your sword is just that one."

"Huh.ya already. Then I'll just take it back. By the way this monster if with Makupa is stronger where?"

"Hmm..maybe just as powerful sir, because the monster is designed so that Mr. Syo is not troubled."

"That's yeah. Then good."

I darted forward again and this time I didn't play games anymore. I attacked again the monster that was holding my sword. Even without a weapon, I could easily defeat the monster because my father once taught me how to fight a man who was armed and I didn't.

The monster swung my sword at me, but I dodged it and then I held the monster's arm. After I hold on tight. I hit the monster's hand hard until it made the sword he was holding fall down.

After the sword fell I slammed the monster to the ground. Then I took my sword again and stabbed it right in his chest. Not until that I pulled the sword up to his head which made his body split in two.

I was very happy at that time for successfully killing 1 monster and intending to kill another.

"Okeees! Who else wants to be exterminated!" I turned around and there were no more monsters. Everything has been destroyed including the big ones. They were all finished off by Syo alone using his little sword.

There I could only have a flat face while blinking my eyes many times. As if I can't believe that Syo killed everything alone

"Hah.telenya very sad yes belmain with sister." Syo wiped his sweat with his hands.

"What an incredible fight, Mr. Syo and. of course for Mr. Rakka too, Pftt.." Vivi was seen holding back her laughter.

"What's up, brother? Brother melah's face? Is my brother sick?"

"No, it's just." I smiled wryly while scratching my head.

"Oh that's it. Then we'll just say it. Sister Vivi can turn this place into a relaxing place."

"Good Mr. Syo." Vivi bowed, then went to where we first entered earlier. When he got there he put on the ring he was wearing earlier and put his hand against the wall.

His lips seem to move. It seemed like he was reciting a spell, but unlike before that was a bit long. It only takes a few seconds now. Her lips stopped talking, but her hands were still against the wall.

After she finished reciting the spell, Vivi told us to approach her. I still do not know the working system here just obey it and then walk closer to him with Syo.

We are close to Vivi. Which then Vivi said.

"Well, you better not cross this line sir. Let alone touching it a little."

I looked down and there was a barrier between the room and a hallway. My leg there still touched that little divider and then I put it away and said.

"okay. What the hell is going on?"

"Change!" Vivi did not answer my question and instead pressed the wall she touched loudly while shouting loudly as well.

Shortly after Vivi did that the room in front of me suddenly changed. The room was originally empty and there were only countless corpses from the monsters before him. Then the monster's corpse disappeared and was replaced by a sofa in the middle of the room as well as a large and wide table to the left of the room.

The table contained an assortment of foods, from heavy meals to small [snacks] meals. To the right of the room was also a shelf that suddenly appeared. On the shelf it contained an awful lot of books, but it didn't seem to be the books that were in uncle tapoc's room before. I can recognize the covers and all of them are novel books.

In front of the sofa there is also a fireplace that is very suitable to relax in a cold atmosphere. Well it's natural that it's getting cold because soon winter will come.

From what I've seen all the way here with uncle tapoc before. The trees in the streets began to have no leaves. There may still be some trees that still have a lot of leaves, but most of them are only left around the leaf fibers.

Usually, if it is this day, I will be asked to find as much dry wood as possible in the forest. But since I live in a rich man's place maybe I don't need to do that anymore.

"Wow, there's a lot of good food and interesting books here." I approached the dining table and also the books on the shelf. Of all the food and books here. Mostly I've never seen it.

"Sister, let's just say it on the couch while eating a snack or reading a book."

"Can I try all this?"

"of course. My sister is my family. So everything here belongs to brother."

"really? Then I won't be sad anymore. Let's take Syo to the food and books."

"Come on. It...!"

Syo and I immediately ran for good food and books that had never been read before. We took all of it to a table near the sofa. Because the table wasn't too big and wouldn't fit if we put all the books and food we had on the table. So we put all the food on the table and put the book under the table.

We sat down on the couch and took food with our right hand, and our left hand held a book. Just now we opened our mouths and wanted to eat his food. Suddenly Uncle tapoc appeared from behind with both hands on his waist and eyebrows furrowed.

"Lho.you eat kok ngajak-ngajak."

"Come uncle, eat together."

"Yes reward here."

"That's dong. Then I won't be sad anymore."

Uncle tapoc immediately sat down with us. To be honest, the seat is a bit narrow, but that's okay. I even got a new pillow.

I leaned against Uncle Tapoc's body and it was so tender because of that fat uncle tapoc. Syo also followed, he also leaned on uncle tapoc's body while reading his book.

"Hmm.you read what the hell."

"It's a reward, I'm reading a novel overall."

"What's that about?"

"About someone trapped in another dimension with a monster body. When in the monster's body he was very strong and intended to rule the world."

"Hmm.." uncle tapoc nodded his head with an uninterested face.

"If you are, Rakka."

"If I'm reading Rose Nevergarden's novel."

"If it's about what?"

"If it's about a woman who doesn't know anything about emotions and feelings who wants to find out the meaning of 'I love you'."

"Oh romance yes."

"Yes, but maybe it's more of a drama anyway. People say this novel is good. So I'm curious."

"Hmm.that's it." As before uncle tapoc put on an uninterested face while nodding his head.

"Are you not interested in reading anything else, like a science book."

"No." We answered without thinking for long.

"Lho. instead of just saying you're interested, Rakka."

"Initially so, but because reading a novel is more fun. So I'd rather read a novel than a science book that makes the brain dizzy."

"Know it."

Uncle Tapoc looked annoyed when I said that, but we both didn't care about him because we were too busy with our books.

He took one of the food on the table and ate it with a feeling of annoyance. He even muttered with his mouth full of food.

"Based on children today. And if you like science, maybe you can change the world like me." Mumbled uncle tapoc with a mouth full of food.

After eating 1 meal, uncle tapoc stood up from the sofa and it made me and syo fall and bump into each other.

"Okay.papa if you want beldili to talk dong."

"Ah.sorry, sorry. I didn't know you were leaning on me." He actually knew, but he pretended he didn't know to teach a lesson to the two of us for messing with him.

"Then Papa wants to go first. There is business in the kingdom and you do not eat much. Because it's lunch soon. Syo knows what will happen if you don't finish your food."

"Yes pah.." Syo answered but his eyes were still reading books.

Uncle Tapoc walked into the hallway and there was Vivi. He bowed when uncle tapoc approached him.

"You're leaving, sir."

"Yes, today there is an important meeting in the kingdom and I was told to attend."

"so yeah. Then be careful, sir."

"Of course, then take care of them so as not to eat a lot."

"Good sir." Vivi nodded

"Then I'll go first."

"good. Goodbye sir." Vivi bowed once more.

Vivi looked towards the sofa and felt strange as there was no sound at all. From earlier there was no sound, but sometimes there was the sound of turning the book and now there was not even any sound.

Vivi walked up to them out of curiosity as to what had happened to them. When he got to the sofa, he could only smile. He saw us sleeping with a book covering our faces.

"When they are not siblings, they even met only a few hours ago, but they are this close and already like real siblings."

Vivi took the book that was on our faces and placed it under the table. After that he walked into the hallway and like before he put on a ring and put his hand on the wall. Then he said.

"Became dark."

The room was originally bright and in an instant the room turned dark and there was only light in the hallway.

"It shall be time for lunch that I shall wake up and now sleep soundly my princes."

Vivi stood there watching us.
