Chapter 163: 160. Underwater city, dangerous island
Jude was kneeling down between two... Humanoid creatures and he was able to see their features well. They had weirdly designed clothings and it weapons resembled tridents.
They all had blue skin with long ears and multiple piercings, the ones beside him had tattoos on their skin and Jude was sure that they were some kind of supernatural creature.
They were at the bottom of a large stairs which led up to a throne and the guards that surrounded the premises all had their eyes on the weird creature being dragged in.
They were in a wide open space which looked like a hall with golden pillars, paintings of snakes on the walls, and the lights were all blue and white, the place was larger than a stadium. The stairs leading up to the throne had this light on the vertical sides which made it look like a futuristic design for Jude.
"Your majesty, this creature fell through the illusion barrier earlier today." One of the creatures beside him spoke and Jude was shocked as that was humans' general language.
"He's a human. He might be, his aura is... abnormal." The second guard said and then Jude brought out his claws and began to work his way through the ropes.
The king, who had his face hidden behind a veil, suddenly stood up from his throne and jumped down the flight of almost 30 stairs.
*BANG!!*
The king landed on the ground, causing a loud sound. Cracks spread out and Jude swallowed as this guy had to weigh a lot to do that.
The king was also blue skinned but wore pants below with bare upper body and wore necklaces and ornaments instead.
In the king's hand was a trident which looked to be covered with a blue energy and he stabbed it in the ground and walked towards the ground.
"It's a human, at the same time... Not. How did you find this place, creature?" The king asked Jude and Jude swallowed as he opened his mouth to speak.
His heart was beating intensively as everything was so weird to him.
'I've been captured by aliens. Or they could be supernatural.' Jude was extremely confused and scared of the new species and what they were capable of.
He wasn't even able to hurt the guard before and his bones broke!
"I... I was fighting a monster that pulled me and threw me downwards in the water. And now I'm here." Jude said while still trying to cut the ropes but it just didn't cut through.
"Could it be the prophesy, your majesty?" One of the guards said and the king turned his head to the guard before looking back at Jude.
"Put him in a cell, I'll consult an order." The king said in a thick masculine voice and then the guards bowed ninety degrees before pulling Jude away.
The king walked the opposite way and didn't go back to the throne and everything was just... Not at all smooth sailing.
Jude didn't even contemplate and he tried to calm himself down and study the new species while he was at it.
Jude didn't even grab the direction he was dragged and soon he was thrown into a small room with no bed and no other thing.
The guards removed the rope binding him and pushed him in and then they walked away.
Jude stood up and looked around and then he noticed that the prison cell he was in was made with the same metal of the stairs, it was blueish in colour and looked like marble but glitters we're inside it which made it beautiful.
And it was a very strong material.
'What the hell is going on this place? I wonder what creatures they are. Illusion barrier? Seem like the seabed was cloaking their city or what.' Jude began to pace around.
'I have to find my way out of here. But how's that going to be possible? One, the soldiers are stronger than... They are far stronger than me.' he corrected himself.
'Two, I have no idea where to go after I escape. Three, I have no idea how to open the cell doors so how do I go out.' Jude continued to pace around as he had random thoughts and then he sat on the ground.
'Let's just relax and find out how things work in this place first.' He nodded to himself before he sat down and then he let out a breath before closing his eyes to meditate.
...
Collins has been running through the thick forest for more than ten minutes now, he fought a lot of creatures as he ran, all different types of mutated creatures that doesn't even seem like they were mutated at all.
Collins panted, he was left with one sword and a shield and a few earth related skills and he finally emerged from the forest.
He looked to see a large ruined city in the center of the island, it was as if the city was carved into the island or the island was a big pot with a city inside.
All of a sudden, a large bear with purple fur suddenly emerged from the forest and Collins immediately ran in the opposite direction.
The sounds from the forest and the wind blowing passed his ears and Collins was shocked that the bear could keep up.
'What is this thing?' Collins thought as he looked back to see the bear with full glowing purple eyes with no pupils.
The ground shook with every step the creature took and soon, Collins saw a large mountain and he ran into the dark cave.
All of a sudden the ground stopped shaking and then Collins looked backwards, only to see that the bear stopped and just roared at him away from the cave and began walking away.
'This place is quite dark, it stopped chasing me. I better leave.' Collins thought and he walked back to the entrance.
A large, red eye which glowed subtly in the darkness moved and looked towards Collins as he walked out of the cave and the eye closed as Collins left.
"I wonder why the bear didn't follow me in." Collins said with a frown. His trusty shield and sword were in his hands and he was ready for anything now.
He walked back towards the forest.
'There is a city ruins not far away into the ground, it won't be wise to explore an unknown place. Since there are trees, I'll try to create a boat... And then I'll finally evolve into a seventh class.' Collins said and then as he got closer to the forest, the bear lunged out again with a deadly roar, opening it's viscous maws to bite at Collins.
