But that did not happened Kaidrix did not die, The ball after sucking a little more Stopped.
The crystal ball, which was only a palm-sized size, started hovering in front of kaidrix and started glowing a faint aqua blue light, which made kaidrix very comfortable.
kaidrix was so mesmerized by it, he did not notice an old man just like him, exactly was staring at the crystal ball. Head to head with Kaidrix.
Kaidrix jolted awake from his stupor and dropped the crystal ball on the floor. He stared at the old man with a vigilant eye. Cough, cough, clearing his throat, the old ghost spoke, Do not be scared, child, I mean no harm to you, Kaidrix stayed vigilant. I have been watching you since you entered the cave. You are quite courageous. Nobody has ever at your level entered this cave and survived till now, you are a very lucky boy.
Senior has been watching me, Kaidrix spoke, not moving his eyes from the old ghost, even for a bit. Watching Kaidrix vigilance, the old ghost became even gentler, yes, child, I have been watching you since you entered the cave. This is a very old cave of our lineage, it goes way back in the history of Sparta, even Sparta did not exist at that time, if I say our people created Sparta, those people were only distant relatives of ours, but still, our people. They have strong physics and heavy frames, then normal humans. Alas, everything has an end. Every civilization has an endpoint.
My child, I am called Somakai, the first person ever to possess a natural chaos Body,
And I am the first patriarch of the Somakai family. Kaidrix became very shocked, he had no words to use, so he just kept staring at the old man. Listing his words, he became relaxed. He had too much to ask, he got the biggest opportunity of his life.
The old man kept talking, it was the softest trial that I could give you, looking at your level. You are the second chaos body, which formed naturally. I see your parents have tried to create a chaotic body. But it never happened like that. It is a blessing that nature gives people, giving them natural bodies which born with some heavenly laws.
Only nature can birth a body with a law, and you are my boy, one of them; you have the rarest chaos body, which is so rare that it is like a myth. Here, take this Book and read it. Old Ghost picked a book from the rack and handed it over to Kaidrix. The book was written in an unknown language. kaidrix said I can't read it. Old Ghost said you need to drop blood on this book in able to read it. You can have this book, it will bind with the person who drops the first blood drop on it. It is yours now.
This crystal is my spiritual core, and also the formation eye of this tower; you can take it with you and the tower. I have used a lot of my energy, I can't keep awake. Your level is also very low, so I can't give you much. You just need to keep that crystal ball in your sea of consciousness. Hope to see you again, my child, happy journey. I almost forgot to give you one more thing here, this is the bestiary, a book that knows about some dangerous beasts and species. I have been seeing you with a hymn, it's not your pet, right? After this, the crystal ball shrank and disappeared in kaidrix brows by itself.
kaidrix tried to read the bestiary, but he was not able to make any sense of any word.
After getting the Crystal Ball, kaidrix came to understand that he can control the tower and its functions. He found the door-like wall behind a shelf, which looked like he came in this way. The design of the tower was made only for spiritual beings. The person who was building this tower forgot to create functional doors that can open and close. So it was kaidrix guess that only spiritual beings can enter and exit this tower. kaidrix went downstairs and saw the hymn was nowhere to be seen, then it hit kaidrix that he had died of hunger. How could he still live?
What was the reason for even getting this tower and the books? Kaidrix felt sad after crossing the barrier. Kaidrix reached where his body was, but he was shocked that there was only black dust and some smoke remained there. kaidrix cursed that it was hymn that had eaten his body. But the next movement his Dantian flashed with brilliant light and sucked kaidrix sole in it the black dust and smoke begin to circle his Dantian which were like a crystal ball with weird pattern on it similarly to the crystal ball in his head the dust and smoke reformed kaidrix body which felt like he made out of sand no moister nothing.
Surprisingly, he felt no hunger, no thirst for water. Kaidrix had no idea what had happened to him. He felt his body was excellent; he could move his muscles, and every body part was fine. The only change he felt was that his body was dark and gave a fierce look. He was still surprisingly beautiful, but he was no longer a white person. His body gave a metallic glow like it was made out of iron. With his thought, kaidrix can turn his body into sand, which can carry his core wherever sand flies. He felt sad that his relatives might not be able to recognise him now, especially Lumina. he felt like crying, but there were no tears in his eyes and there was no blood in his veins. It felt like he did not even have blood veins.
kaidrix was heartbroken. Was he still a human? After some time had passed, he decided to explore the tower. The tower had 12 floors, and kaidrix was only able to explore 2, the ground floor and the first one, where he found the crystal ball and Old Ghost. After that, he tried hard, but he was not able to explore even a single floor. Every time he faced a barrier and he was not allowed. kaidrix felt this Tower was mysterious and hiding a lot of stuff in it that he had no permission to look into. Sighing, kaidrix decided to go out.
When he went out, the first thing he saw was a hymn which noticed him immediately, and with his greedy eyes ran toward kaidrix, but as he came a little close to kaidrix, Kaidrix Dantian glowed blue and all the life force in hymn was sucked by it. After that, Kaidrix felt a little moister in his body. He felt so tight and suffocated that he found it hard to breathe. And he felt his soul recovered a little, he was happy, very happy to finally get rid of that danm hymn, he wanted to end it by himself, but he had no idea how to do it, and how the hymn died, he had no control over this matter.
The cave was filled with the shrieks of hymns. The predator became food. The hole seen was a shock for Kaidrix. Was this that easy? He suffered a lot in this cave, and finally, he is getting some redemption, but that redemption is not in his control. kaidrix felt helpless. What else could he do besides enduring it? After going a little further, he saw the green monsters still there, and that Chimera who attacked kaidrix back then.
When they saw kaidrix, they tried to attack kaidrix, but all their vitality was sucked dry by kaidrix's Dantian which was glowing brighter and brighter after sucking these monster dry bit by bit kaidrix gain his vitality and spirit energy back, his soul slowly reverting to its solid form, and he started feeling his heart beat he felt there is blood flowing in his veins. There were dry corpses around him, some turned to dust, some lost all the vitality in their body.
The Chimera wasvery weak but did not die. He was a bag of bones, kept shivering while looking towards kaidrix with terrified eyes. Kaidrix felt complex emotions, Strong can only bully the weak, but cower in front of those who are stronger than they are.
-----
Kaidrix checked his body; his complexion was still dark, but it had gotten pretty fair compared to before. Kaidrix has no idea what has happened to him. After he came out of the area, the left side of the main road of the cave was still blocked by the giant boulder. There were few monsters, who attacked kaidrix back then were sucked dry by his Dantian, kaidrix felt his spirit being replenished bit by bit as his Dantian absorb monsters kaidrix felt his Dantian can suck spirit energy or vitality of these monsters, kaidrix looked closely at the bolder from the look of it there was no place further but after some inspection he manage to find a way to the other side, He climbed the boulder; there was a gap between the ceiling and the boulder, just enough for a person to slide through to the other side.
The cave was full of red and green crystals, which kaidrix collected a lot. kaidrix figured that he could store things in the tower on its ground floor, so he did not feel shy and collected as many crystals as he could. He gathered a small mountain of these two crystals and a little bit of yellow crystals compared to the other yellow crystals, which were in the cave. As he went further in, the area became wider and wider. There were monster houses and an altar, which seemed like a way out. If you go further down to the right side of the cave, you can find another Tower, which was dazzling with colorful light. This tower was not very big, just the size of a palm. kaidrix touched the tower., In a flash tower went into kaidrix's sea of consciousness. And kept circling the main tower he got before, it gave the information that he needed to collect four more towers.
Kaidrix decided to explore the cave further. he came back to the altar area, which in his thoughts would take him back to the surface. Then he further came back to the area where the giant boulder was. He climbed on top of the boulder and slid back to the area where he was attacked. This time he went to the left cave channel at first it was narrow area but after narow path it was quit wast area as he went further in there were red crystals here a lot of them and a lot of green people some of them seen what kaidrix did at bolder area so they rain away from him and some got scared but still some attack kaidrix, his Dantian sucked their spiritual energy and replenished kaidrix spirit which he lost a lot of energy when filling the crystal ball. kaidrix felt clear and refreshed.
After watching some green dried up corpses, the few green monsters who were coming to attack got scared, and wherever kaidrix went, they were avoiding kaidrix, afraid to get close to him. as he further went in the cave had a little area in the cave channel which goes further to the right in that area there was a pyramid shaped temple. kaidrix went into that pyramid where he felt extreme danger. He saw, at the entrance of that pyramid temple, big muscular green monsters guarding the temple. kaidrix felt he should explore this temple. So he decided to go inside despite feeling a lot of danger. Surprisingly, the muscular green monster did not attack him, but they kept watching kaidrix with furious eyes.
kaidrix went inside the temple was not much. There was one hall and one altar in the middle of the hall, at the end of that hall was a throne, where he saw an old-looking green monster who was fiercely looking at kaidrix. He spoke to kaidrix, "Kratos! came to slave us. We, green Drakos, give up, never." he spoke with difficulty. kaidrix surprised you can speak. "Yes, King Green Drakos speaks your tongue." His tone was hard for each word he spoke.
Kaidrix spoke, I have no intention of enslaving you, green people. Just don't attack me, and I will not attack you, King Green spoke. "We green Drakos no fool, human attack Drakos, for decades, we attack, we survive. If we know you, Karatos, we attack no, we guard the Treasure. Karatos Treasure you take and go," he pointed towards the altar. On that altar, there was a hand skeleton with its arm bones inside the altar, making the hand face the sky, and the fingers of the hand were pointed towards its palm. And between its finger and palm, there was floating a small pyramid which was emitting a faint Golden light, illuminating the surroundings.
As Kaidrix touched the pyramid shape, it became dust, which was circulating a tiny golden crystal. Which went into kaidrix finger into his flesh and took place in one of the meridians in his arm. The whole process was painful. After Kaidrix came into his senses, he saw his arm covered in golden armor, which was emitting a black aura. He felt he could shatter even raw metal with his punch. With a thought, the armor went into his skin and again became a tiny pyramid in his meridian. King Green guestser Kaidrix, "You go now."
