Chapter 114: Fisherman Fishes From the Sides II

"Liam! Why are you here?!" shouted Jin as he parried a wolf's attack. He saw that Liam was intentionally coming for them instead of avoiding them, strangely. 

"I have a way to get rid of the wolves behind our back, quick, follow me! I'll explain the details later" replied Liam. He seemed to be intentionally in a hurry as he looked back from time to time as his legs ran as fast as he could. 

Still, the speed he was showing was just that of a beginner's, unknown how he had been able to escape from the wolves until now. 

Anna and Jin surviving until now could be explained with the wolves toying with them, but Liam's surviving couldn't be explained with the same reason. Because the wolves chasing after Liam had been taunted and wouldn't have had the mind to play with him. They were looking angry even now.

But they didn't think about that. The situation was urgent and the time was little so they didn't think of anything and just followed Liam's words mindlessly. The wolves' threat was constantly on their necks after all. 

...

"So Liam what's your plan?" asked Jin while they were running. Fortunately, they were able to ditch the wolves behind their backs because of a passage but they wouldn't be able to for long. 

It wouldn't take much for the wolves to keep up with them.

"The time we have acquired due to the passage won't last for long. And we would be caught up and devoured by the pack in a few minutes, that's for sure. 

And actually, you all might not know it but I was a high leveled player before. But due to a glitch, my account got reset and all my power was lost. I tried talking to the federation but they didn't even care about me. 

Anyway, I know of a land, not too much from here that could technically protect us. It's a ruin that holds a test. Only those below lvl. 10 could attempt it and while the people are taking it, the monsters can't attack us. So I suggest we take it. We might actually obtain something from it too" 

Hearing this, Jin fell silent for a while before saying "Ok, let's take it then". 

Anna too also agreed. 

Cylius who wasn't much far away also heard their plan. As the passage was made for humans, he was able to pass through it and since the rest of the wolves had to take the long route, he left them to go after the group of three. 

Since he wouldn't be able to explain how he died, he just covered himself up with his perception. Otherwise, he surely wouldn't have been able to hide from Liam who was an expert assassin. He would've been caught red handed and wouldn't have any excuse for himself.

3 minutes later, they arrived at a large ancient door. It was a stone door with moss and plants growing all over it. 

It was covered in vines and would be hard to get in if one didn't remove them. But after seeing the status of the vines, they didn't even imagine trying it. 

[Red Blood Vine (Uncommon Rank) (Tier 2) lvl. 50

Type: Plant

Hp: ---

Strength: ---

Agility: ---

Intelligence: ---

Mana: ---

Skill: ---

Description: Guardian of the Great Kutolys' ruin's entrance.]

They were unable to see its stats. Unknown meant danger and not being able to see it meant that they were too weak to view it. Just the status - Tier 2 was enough for them to not have any thoughts about challenging the creature. 

And exactly as Cylius was able to view the creature's stats, that was he scared of it. 

This creature was absolutely in another league. If not for its special status, even by being near it, they would've died instantly. Anywhere near hundred meters of this creature was dangerous. 

A very dangerous creature this vine was. 

"What should we do? We'll be dead if we try to fight it"

"Wait. I have a way to enter without killing us. Follow after me" said Liam before he approached the door cautiously. 

He first went to the right side of the door where it was covered by vines all over. And as it was outside the door, the vines were even more in number with no blank space left. There were no space without any vine covering it.

The scarlet red color of the vins surely made one feel an ominous feeling about it. First, Jin and the rest was suspicious of him but after seeing that nothing was happening to Liam, they followed suit. 

After coming there, Liam suddenly placed his hands on a vine before chanting a few strange words. After he did this, strangely, all of the vines moved to the side, revealing a dimly lit tunnel behind it. 

"Come on let's go"

...

"Liam where is this place?" rang out Anna's voice who was looking around the place all over, scared if anything came out of the shadows. 

"It's the Great Kutolys' ruin. Great Kutolys was said to be a hero from the past who had even stepped foot into the Mythic realm! The Mythic realm is the Tier 5 realm where people can't achieve even if they dream about it. He was a Grand Arch-Mage! 

A realm equal to all the mythical monsters and so on. 

He was a figure that could obliterate mountains with a flip of his hands. He was a figure that many people admired but unfortunately, he was severely injured while protecting his kingdom from a foreign creature also at the mythical realm. 

As he was heavily injured without any hope of living unless a demi god personally healed him, he left to leave his own inheritance. The inheritance has many parts and I found this one while clearing out a dungeon.

We have to finish the test in order to get the inheritance. Does this make it clear for you two?"

"Yes" replied both of them.
