228 Barrier Against The Proud

This is after barely escaping countless difficult challenges along the way.

THUD!~

Along with Danna, Katri, and Unos, the once s.h.i.+mmering mech that Arkhoz was piloting is now looking like a pile of a mutilated robot. The joints are barely connected, the s.h.i.+ning light from the robotic face is long gone - no, in fact, the whole face is gone! The six booster thrusters hanging at the back is now down to one, while the left arm is missing.

The only things that remained in the whole piece are the bluish crystal found at the center of the mech though it is currently filled with countless cracks and the four pa.s.sengers inside. Their faces are unkempt while dark eyelids surrounded their dead-tired eyes.

Before them is the wide expanse of land filled with nothing but golden gra.s.s. And yes, it was a real gra.s.s made with gold despite its unusual flexibility. gra.s.s leaf stood as long as 12 inches and swayed gracefully to the calm wind.

The land they are currently standing is called the Golden Border of Tunga. 

According to the explanation in Kaora's memory, it was a safe land filled with golden gra.s.s. 

After witnessing the view before them, everyone's' eyes finally gleamed with awe despite their current pathetic looks.

Their haggard images were caused by the unbelievable journey they went through the long dark abyss to the land of the Tunga. 

"Are...we finally here?" asked the tired Danna whos complexion has become pale after exhausting herself. 

"Judging from those bright buildings from afar and the golden gra.s.sess, I think we have reached the border of Tunga." the little fairy replied. Her usual pink glow has faded a little due to her drained energy.

"Piok~ughu! I want to die." the previous beautiful golden brown feather of Unos are mostly gone after being stressed beyond his expectation. Not to mention, his voice has gone husky after shouting almost all the time.

"If you really want to die, I can go back yourself. I am tired of your endless yapping." Arkhoz coldly replied. His eyes had gone bloodshot after overexerting his focus throughout the journey. His eyes checked the overall condition of the mech and sighed.

After being spotted by the mother worm, they were forced to move faster down to the bottom trying to escape the ruthless grinding mouth of the mother worm. Thanks to Arkhoz's skillful control and smart judgment, they were able to avoid getting caught by the mother worm by forcefully creating their own hole and hide.

With the help of the mother worm, their next journey downward was much safer and quite because the lurking white worms were attracted to the mech's booster sound only to be sucked by the chasing mother worm.

As a result, the mother worm never came back, probably due to its full belly. 

An hour after that, they have to cross a cave of glowing hot lava. Fortunately, the mech was equipped with extreme heat resistance and was able to pa.s.s through the hot magma unscathed. It was then followed by more lava caves and underground waters.

However, their peaceful journey was only shortlived after they crossed paths with a rainbow-colored giant crab that can shoot a homing claw that was harder than steel. 

After being cornered, Arkhoz decided to engage the rainbow-colored giant crab in a close combat fight. It was a thrilling battle that made Danna, Katri, and the golden beaked eagle dizzy to the extent of falling unconscious. 

Thirty minutes later, Arkhoz managed to win against the ma.s.sive creature after a close battle. This is in exchange for expending about thirty percent of their total allotted energy for the whole travel. Unfortunately, Kaora was lucky enough not to meet this creature, else they could have prepared a lot better.

To make matters worst, their supposed to be path has been blocked by the falling rocks and they were forced to take more detours which means, more giant and weird creatures to face.

Thus, the current state of the mech is the result of those battles. Fortunately, they were able to make it alive, although they are not sure if they will be able to make it out back to the surface.

"I guess this is where we have to start walking." Arkhoz pressed the open b.u.t.ton and the crystal sphere that was covering them finally open up. 

"Can't the giant robot take us any further? To be honest, I am too afraid to go out right now. Not after what we have just gone through." Katri said with pleading eyes.

"I am afraid that was the last of the fuel we got. We wasted too much of our energy thanks to the multiple detours we have to do after going through the worm land's labyrinth. At the moment, it would take another forty-eight-hour before the mech can fully recharge."

Arkhoz explained while gearing up. He put on his gloves, weapons, and the cool-looking Arkhan armor. His eyes gazed at the remaining hours for their target day and heigved a deep breath before continuing. 

"Too bad we do not have that much free time since the full moon is about to commence in the next twenty-four hours. I am not even sure how to get back to the surface with the current condition of our ride."

Arkhoz looked at the area scanner monitor before him and confirmed, "The system found no hostile creatures two kilometers from our current position, at least we are safe that far. I am not sure what happens when we finally crossed the border."

Stomp!

Arkhoz landed at the golden-gra.s.s-filled ground. He is wearing the white Arkhan armor that looked like a mixed set between a Kamen rider and a ninja. A half-meter glowing red knife can be seen hovering on his side which has the ability to extend to as long three meters.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go," he said as he started walking towards the distant border of Tunga.

"heok!~ Are you sure we are safe?"

"Thank's to that stupid rainbow crab, those stupid fish and stupid mother worm, we diverged to the original path that we are supposed to take!" mumbled the little fairy.

Seeing that Arkhoz was not keen on waiting for them, everyone else hurried to pick up their items and hurriedly followed the sn.o.bbish Arkhan. 

Danna summoned water out of a small conch sh.e.l.l necklace. This sh.e.l.l is actually a magical artifact that can store a terrifying amount of water despite its small size. The water that Danna pulled out of her sh.e.l.l necklace instantly coated her entire body and provided her the mobility she needs without moving her body to swim.

The little fairy, on the other hand, summoned five gray rock golem about three meters in height using a magical incantation. These golems swiftly moved in a square formation with the little fairy resting on the shoulder of the center golem. They acted like bodyguards protecting the little fairy in the middle.

Meanwhile, the golden beaked eagle rose to the sky and acted as a scout. However, he did not dare to go too far just in case he met a powerful hostile being also capable of flight. Who knows it might just go after him.

Though he is a proud one, after witnessing the terrifying creatures of these underground land, he dares not to be as loud and proud as before.

Everyone hurried to get close and follow Arkhoz, the one leading in front.

With a vigilant att.i.tude, the whole team left behind the helpless mech and proceeded towards the brightly glowing land of the Tunga, which is also known as the Land of the Light.

About an hour later, the team has finally reached the edge of the border. Before them is a wall of light that flows like a water, except the direction of its flow was going to upward instead of the normal downward flow. Behind them, they could make up the blurry scene of a beautiful City filled with Light.

An exciting yet mysterious feeling filled their hearts. The vision that was shared through Kaora's memory was too hazy and unclear. Like a movie where 90% of the whole parts are removed. The whole memory only served as clues and guides of the scenes they need to follow. 

Aside from the two-second scene of the Kaora's door in the center of the Tunga, there were no more clear clues related to the actual view of the mysterious world before them.

What the world of Tunga actually looks like remained a mystery to them.

Danna, Katri, and Unos marveled at the wall of light but did not dare to step ahead.

"Follow me quickly. Don't make me come back just to get your scared a.s.s." Arkhoz coldly said.

WHAAAM!!!!~

AAHGK!!~

Everyone watched the latter confidently stepped forward only to see him rebound like a man hit by a ma.s.sive hammer made of light.

Danna, Katri, and Unos gulped a mouthful of saliva as they witnessed the proud Arkahn's a.s.s got sent a good twenty behind.
