Yet there were hills, many of them actually, scattering all over this world. They weren't that huge, but they looked in my eyes as if they were covering up something.
And if there was no one living on the ground, in the sky, then there was a single place that made sense for anyone to live in; underground!
"You don't think..." Legend's face changed, and in a few minutes, everyone else got the same expression on their faces.
"The enemy can't live up on the ground, and wasn't in the sky," I simply stated my reasons behind such a logical conclusion, "and that leaves us with one possibility."
I was heading already towards one of these hills. The hills didn't look any much different than the ground, except for one thing.
The ground anywhere we went released thin and thick pillars of smoke in different colours. However this wasn't the case of these hills.
In fact the first time I noticed these hills was thanks to the absence of smoke rising up from them. It was a unique sign that attracted my attention towards them, but I didn't consider anything weird about them until now.
-n0ve1、com If these hills were made of the same materials of the ground, then they should show the same reaction and rise up smoke pillars.
When we went higher, we met up with a fiercer temperature. Looking at these hills, which each spanned for one hundred metres at least, I knew something was off here.
Even if they got higher than the ground, they didn't get burnt from the heat, didn't get any damage at all, didn't raise any smoke pillars, and didn't get flattened like everything else in this world.
They looked as if they didn't belong to this place at all. And that made them man made hills in my eyes.
They weren't hills, they were like great domes protecting something underneath. And there was a single possibility for what they were hiding; entrances to the underground world.
I'd seen lots of weird things in the apocalypse, heard about much weirder things in the universe. So a world like this wasn't enough to make me feel any shock or even surprise.
I only wanted to find my enemies, crash them, claim a base here, before thinking about going to another world.
When I got closer to one hill, I noticed that it was indeed weird. The hill surface looked smooth from outside, but from this close distance, I could see small protrusions that were so tiny to be noticed from far.
They were very small, but neatly arranged on the surface of the hill like it was an army of ants.
It wasn't normal, and everyone on my side also noticed these and started to turn vigilant.
"Get ready," I decided to activate my sacrifices first, "I'm going to do something for a few hours. Then we will attack this thing and see what secrets it holds."
I didn't wait for their answer and instantly activated the sacrifice of my class. I boosted my strength, defence, speed, my chariot's speed, and also a healing dome that was focused solely on me.
As for this healing shield, I spent one hundred million souls on it. No matter what lay down there, waiting for us, I planned to personally crush it without any care or worry about anything.
With such healing shields, and with everything else getting boosted, I doubted even a direct hit from the deadly portals on the islands I crushed before would leave a mark on my body.
"What were you doing just now?" The jumper seemed to see me for the first time using such a trick. In fact, all of the others saw me for the first time doing this, but he was the only one who got curious about this.
"I'm just getting ready," I didn't explain anything, took my dragon glaive out, pointed it towards that hill before adding, "we are getting inside now! Attack!"
I didn't intend to waste my breath or energy over this hill. So I took out my fallen gods, released their deadly attacks towards the hill.
*Screech!*
Well, it was an overkill! Who said this world was void of living creatures? This hill wasn't a hill, it was a creature actually. I couldn't tell what it was as the attacks just burnt it and turned it into dust.
For a reason, what the suns here failed to do, my fallen gods managed to accomplish. The hill screeched before it puffed in thin air, releasing a thick cloud of ash.
"Let's go!" and as I expected, underneath it was a wide hole that spanned for hundreds metres.
That hill was covering up the entrance of that tunnel. And that meant there was an underground world down there waiting for me, filled with enemies.
The moment I passed through it, I noticed a few things.
This tunnel wasn't by any means natural! It was weirdly smooth, with gaps on regular intervals, looking like giant stairs or something.
It went directly down for a hundred metres, then became horizontal for another hundred metres, then vertical again. I kept following it for half an hour, while the heat finally got its way inside.
And that brought tons of sizzling sounds before all the noises suddenly vanished.
Whatever happened back there meant the enemy didn't just depend on the hill like monsters to protect their entrances. There were other means to keep the deadly heat out.
I clenched my glaive, while moving in a dimly lit world. And that was another weird aspect about this place.
We were underground, without a single hole leading to the surface. It was impossible for lights to come down here. And yet, I could see light coming to this tunnel, from a direction that was impossible to get such lights, the bottom!
That meant there was something at the end of that tunnel. "Is this Alice's rabbit hole or what?" and when we got closer to the source of that light, the place became brighter, and Sara couldn't help but ask in weird excitement.
