I Just Inherited The Arcane Emperor's Legacy

Chapter 3 Cave



Chapter 3 Cave

Leo knew immediately that it was only a normal wolf. But only is such a deceiving word. He was an undernourished 13-year-old. Even a 'normal wolf' would rip him to shreds. But he didn't start running immediately.

He knew that the wolf would catch up to him in no time. The wolf was standing between the route to the city. The only direction he could run into was the forest, where there were more beasts that could kill him.

However, the forest also had more trees as it got farther from the city. It would make running difficult for him and even more so for the wolf. He would have a better chance of escaping the wolf if he ran towards the forest. He prepared himself for the decision he made. He tightly grabbed his knife, took a deep breath, and turned around quickly. He then started sprinting with all his might.

He heard a growl. He knew the wolf was hot in pursuit. He leaped across a tree branch that was in his way and started running into the forest. He kept changing directions instead of a straight line to try and throw the wolf off. However, the wolf was still chasing him.

He ran until he reached a waterfall. The water was spilling into a huge lake in front of it. He looked back and saw the wolf charging toward him. He was out of breath by then. He had been running for almost five minutes. He sighed and took the only option available to him.

He jumped into the lake and started swimming towards the waterfall. He knew the lake had monsters too, but they wouldn't come to the waterfall because of the ripples it makes. He started swimming toward the waterfall. He looked back at the wolf.

The wolf was snarling at him, but it hadn't jumped into the lake. It looked in a particular direction in the lake and then turned around. He looked at where the wolf was looking and winced. There was a splash of water there. Something was moving in the water, and it was heading for him.

He started swimming with all his might to the waterfall. He didn't have enough time to make it to the other side and he couldn't go back because the wolf would eat him. Leo pushed the water back with all his might.

He finally got to the waterfall. He looked back to look at what was coming for him. He saw that it was very close - a few yards away. He looked back at the waterfall and saw something strange. Instead of rocks, he saw darkness beyond the water.

He immediately dove into the waterfall. He dove through the water and landed on a stone floor. He immediately tried to get away from the waterfall, so he launched himself with whatever strength he had left away from the waterfall. He landed on the stone floor, scratching his arm that he had used as a cushion. He looked back and saw a huge crocodile dive through the waterfall and attempt to bite him.

It almost reached Leo, but it hit a mysterious, invisible wall that knocked it back. It tried to get across the wall a few more times, but it failed. It glared at him for a minute, and then left.

He saw this happen and couldn't believe his eyes. He took a huge breath and then just collapsed on the stone floor. He had been running for his life and then had to swim from a crocodile. He had been through a lot physically.

While he was laying down, he thought about what happened. There was a mysterious barrier that stopped the crocodile from crossing the barrier. He immediately knew that the cave he entered had something powerful.

He got up after 10 minutes of rest. He first went towards the waterfall for some water. He drank some water and washed his face. He also washed the scratch on his arm that had started bleeding lightly. He then took out his knife and looked at the cave. He walked into it.

The cave was very long. He had to walk for 5 minutes before reaching a stone door. The door had a lot of engravings on it. He pushed the door but it wouldn't budge. He kept trying to push but it wouldn't budge.

Meanwhile, his arm started bleeding again. He wiped his blood off with his hands and then wiped his hands with his shirt. However, some blood was still left on his hands. When he pushed again, the blood smeared into the door.

He took a step back after failing to push the door. He sighed and turned around, ready to leave, when he heard a low rumbling noise. He looked back and saw that the stone door was moving by itself.

The engravings that were previously dull like the rest of the stone were now shining in a golden color. The doors slowly opened into a huge open space. He gaped as he entered the opened room.
