The Adventure of the Light-Bearer

CH. 24 - Lucky Aura

Levin's small body was hanging above, he put the crystal with a trembling hand into his pocket. He did not dare to look down. He swallowed his saliva, the sweat on his head falling down drop by drop. He then felt a compulsion in his neck to look down. He did so and seeing that the fire was getting bigger, the shrill screams of the trolls began to fade.

Levin's hand power is already on the verge of limits. He narrowed his eyes in pain as his finger continued to press into the corner of the wood. He also felt the burning heat due to the raging fire in the trolls and large woods, he looks like a fly tied up in a meat grill at a castle guard scout camp.

"The.. Goddamnit! I have to do something. I can't do my magic under these circumstances, I'm not even sure that I can teleport myself out of this place" Levin said in his heart. While the burning fire beneath it is becoming more and more.

"I didn't expect that this place was one of the demon tombs. I mean, why is that crystal hanging there... I.. That's her! And where is the devil's tomb? It should be around here! Damn Levin, do you think you have time to look for that tomb right now? For the sake of camels, find a way out!" Levin was upset, he couldn't hold that grip much longer. His right hand then slipped and made his body slammed down.

Levin's body fell from that very high height, his body floating over as if it was being pulled by the flames dancing beneath it. A white light enveloped his body, the pieces of light quickly enveloped Levin's fallen body, and turned his entire body into the same light, and drift at super-fast speeds somewhere.

Not in one second was Levin's body floating in the air now in a dim place. Levin's eyes that had been covered in glare due to the light of the fire had now turned dark. He shook his head and swung his hands on the ground as if he was still falling.

Levin's still doing that ridiculous thing there. He was still swinging his hand and and closing his eyes, he still thought that he was still falling from that height. He was then startled when a stick hit his body and shouted out loud, making the person by his side startled and hit his head with a stick, that person was Ramon, Levin's father.

"By eel what are you doing! Arise, Sagmorat!" shout Ramon. While Levin was shocked, he opened his eyes and planga-plongo, his hands were still shaking and his heart was still pounding, he then looked left right, stood up and ran hugging his father.

"Raboamoon! To.. Why are you just teleporting me now!" levin shouted while talking to Ngaco. Ramon was stunned, and he did not understand the words of his son.

"What do you mean? What the hell is going on with you? Aren't you supposed to enjoy your travels and adventures?" Ramon scrunched his forehead, he then continued.

"Well, I teleported you here right now because you've got three of those seven crystal pieces, I have to tell you something so I teleport you now." said Ramon while observing Levin who was clinging to him. Levin was actually a little upset, because Ramon should have teleported himself when he managed to stick the third crystal while he was still hanging on the stairs in the terrible cave earlier. But now he felt even more relieved and grateful, because he was still alive and could continue on his way.

Levin let go of his embrace, he saw left right observing the dimly lit place. There was only a light of candle in the place, which was hanging above a stone door that might lead out.

Levin's rather slippery feet stepped on the stone floor there, all the walls and objects there were stone, except for a large table that Ramon was sitting on made of wood. Perhaps it was the place Ramon told of which was located on Mount Dormin.

"So, wise witch master, what should I know after I get those three crystals? And why three crystals?" levin asked in an interrogative tone while wiping away his tears. Ramon smile.

"As I said before, the crystals are only found on Cadmuk Island. I have also marked the place where the crystals are on the map I gave you. There are four major kingdoms on the island of Cadmuk itself, namely Lestina, a large kingdom located in the south, there is not a single crystal located there, so you do not have to go far. The second is Crescabes, as you know, the kingdom is located in the north, there are three pieces of crystal there. The third is New Vamor, the kingdom is located in the middle of the island, there is only one crystal there, the kingdom is your next destination. And lastly Livermore, there are three crystals there, of course you're holding right now." Ramon then stood up, he brandished his wand and lit the other candles that were in that place with his fire magic. He then leaned against the wall.

"I can feel the power of the crystal. The crystals have different energies, the energy in each piece of crystal is very strong, which is why I was able to find their locations. You know, I have ESP powers that are stronger than the other witches on the continent, so I'm the only one who can track down those crystals. The witches in The Faveroth organization were also actually eyeing the crystals, they spent decades researching the location of the crystals. They searched and explored hundreds of tombs located on this continent, they also traced many caves and other dangerous places, but the results were nil. Then why am I calling you here now? Well, I guess you guessed it. I just wanted to tell you that and teleport you to your next destination to make it faster." Ramon explained as he yawned, it seemed like his physical energy was drained as he teleported Levin. Levin then spoke up.

"I have a friend that I left there Ramon. His legs were injured so he could not walk anywhere, he also did not have a gun and carried a lot of money with him. I'm afraid something bad happened to him, can you help me teleport his body to this place?" pinta Levin, she sat at the table hugging herself with both hands from the cold. Ramon shook his head.

"I'm afraid I won't do that. You know, it takes a lot of magic energy and physical energy to teleport someone. I would rather even go on foot secretly to go to that shack in Foragar than teleport myself. I had teleported you and three other people simultaneously before, but it was because of my magic energy that I had not used for a long time and it was indeed a very emergency thing. You know, I used up all my energy recently and it took me a while to get those energies back. I think I can only teleport one person right now, maybe this week, but you don't have that much time, you have to hurry" Ramon said with his eyes narrowed with fatigue, he blinked his eyes quickly, and yawned again.

"Then I'll go to New Vamor on foot. It's not too far away, is it? After all, the woman did not have a home or even a family. You don't want to see him rot in a tavern in the middle of nowhere, do you?" levin asked, Ramon then raised his eyebrows hearing Levin's stubborn words. Ramon was silent for a moment, he tilted his face in exhaustion.

"Then it's fine, lord king, it's up to you. Don't blame me for curling your legs as a result of walking hundreds of meters from here to the temple at Vamor." Ramon said in a soft tone, while Levin just smiled and nodded his head, his eyes turned left and up, indicating that he was thinking about something.

"You know, I think this place is a bad place to rest. You're.. Don't sleep here, do you?" ask Levin.

"Of course not, young man. There is one more room in this place, maybe it is the room where Akemon wrote his great books. I used it as a room for me to rest. For a while rest there, there is no lodging in these mountains, and probably never will be because there are only forests and mountains here. So stay here for one night, I'll rest here. And also, I think I'm going to tell you about Ally and Wander tomorrow, my body is so limp from the teleportation" Ramon said as he made runes on one of the walls, and opening a stone door there magically, the old witch then swung her hand down as a gesture for Levin to enter the room. Ramon's face looked very pitiful, his eyes narrowed and his gaze was strange, he was holding back his sleep violently.

"I think you're the one sleeping there. I'm going to sleep on this table." Levin said as he patted the table he was sitting on, he went down looking back to stroke the table, he continued.

"When I became a slave, I often slept in a place more miserable than here. You know, we don't even sleep often, our days are very hard and tiring but the..." Levin looked back, and scrunched his face when he saw Ramon was sound asleep in the bed in his room which was brightly lit by the lanterns there. Levin shook his head, actually he was a bit uncomfortable with his clothes and hair that was wet from the blood of the troll earlier. But whatever he could do, he had to rest, and he laid his body on a table large enough to hold his whole body there, and fell asleep quickly due to his exhausted body.

"I hope Arnold can save Alisa in time. I also hope Clea can sleep peacefully tonight, I.." Levin said inwardly before he finally fell unconscious and fell asleep.
