BXBX NOVEL Chapter 138 Illusion Or Not
Seth felt like his body was being squeezed and then poked all around, he would have complained that he was being sexually molested if not for the fact that the touches were all hard, having no feeling of feminity, and to make things worse, he couldn't see a thing around him, just darkness, leaving him unable to identify his molesters.
After what felt like forever, the touches stopped as he felt like his entire body was being sucked, and then that feeling also disappeared, and weirdly enough a cool wind began blowing followed by some tiny things once again poking all over his body, but before Seth could come to a realization on what was going on, his body hit a hard object, sustaining no injuries but being soaked by some liquid.
As Seth lay down, the continuous tapings which he could now hear and the small light blue spherical object he could see in the sky finally alerted him that he had long since arrived at his destination, but unfortunately due to the transition from a dark environment to a less dark one, his eyes had failed to catch the change in time.
"I had no idea it rained in dungeons," Seth thought as he pushed himself off what should be a muddy ground and took in his surroundings, well what he could see.
The moon in the sky didn't do much to light up the surrounding, and coupled with heavy rain and cloudy sky, all Seth could make out at this point were trees and a faraway church.
Yes, a church, why a church would be in a dungeon Seth had no idea, but unless he was wrong, then the brightly lit up building which should be on a hill, possessing a tall tower carrying a crucifix at its top was definitely a church.
"Perhaps am to exorcise a demon to clear the dungeon," Seth thought as he got off his knees ad stood on his feet, staring at the building which was way far off yet could clearly be seen by him like it was just a kilometer away.
Normally, within a dungeon, there were levels, and these levels were randomized ranging from 5-10.
Each level posed different kinds of musters, but they always went from weak to strong as one conquered a level and went to a higher level.
The level went from top to bottom, and in the process of conquering a level, depending on how one performed they received various rewards, and this was true for all dungeons except some rank 9 dungeons, Ashad just happening to be one of them and being the most dangerous so far.
While for other dungeons, one just had to defeat the beasts there to clear the level and then move on, for special rank 9 dungeons such as Ashad, one was either given a mission by a mysterious inhabitant of the dungeon, or they had to either wander around killing monsters till they somehow got a mission or got rewarded.
Given what Alice had told him about Ashad, Seth figured that he would receive his first mission at the church and so not wasting any more time, he charged towards it.
Given his current speed, Seth calculated that he needed over about 20 minutes to reach the church, but over an hour went by and all he could see was the church still in the distance.
"Is the church an illusion or am I trapped in an illusion? "Seth thought, if his thoughts were right, then it was pointless for him to keep going, but in the end, he decided to persevere a little longer.
Another hour more and Seth's patience finally paid off as he found himself climbing up a hill and approaching the premises of the church, but he wasn't the only one as he could see several people floating down from the air and walking into the church, the sight stunning Seth.
Seeing other people wasn't a surprise to Seth as Alice had explained how interconnected these special rank 9 dungeons were.
Apparently, Earth wasn't the only world that was still in its infancy of cultivation, there were other worlds like earth, and these other worlds shared the same special rank 9 dungeons with earth, their inhabitants popping up in them from time to time.
By the time Seth finally arrived at the doors of the church, five people had already entered it, each of them having descended from the sky, showing their lofty cultivation levels, but didn't bother Seth.
Curious about the happenings within the church, Seth pushed open its double door with his hands and walked in, his entry welcomed by the bright light of the church which gradually made way to show Seth its humble interior.
Just like what one would expect to see in a church, unnecessary pillars and a row of long fancy wooden benches were put to both sides of the church, leaving a clear wide path that led up to what should be an altar but wasn't, as instead of an altar, a fancy looking chair stood at the end of the church, elevated by red colored platform and needing 6 stairs to reach it's top.
"You are number 14 and are late, so you stand at the back," the voice of a woman standing some distance from the door said as she pointed at a spot behind the benches filled with 7 people, her words surprising Seth who had still been observing the church.
After talking to him, the woman waved her hands and Seth felt a force push him, forcing him to walk toward the 7 people standing at the back.
"Talk about rude" Seth commented as the force acting on him faded away.
"That's always how they are" the thick voice of a jovial man sounded from behind Seth, a thick hand falling over his shoulder as the owner, a bearded big man ask him,
"What's your name?, I am Jacob," he said with a laugh.
"Seth "Seth replied staring at the door as another person walked through.
"Where you from," Jacob asked, his question reminding set of how much Alice had pleaded with him not to reveal to anyone his Origin, but luckily for Alice Seth's mind was on a different matter as he ignore Jacobs's question and asked his.
"He came after me, why wasn't he also sent to the back," Seth asked, pointing at the new entry who had been told to go sit on one of the benches.
"Upon entering this dimension, the time we all see this church varies, but whether one is late or not depends on how long they took to get here immediately they saw the church," Jacob said," as for me I wasted some time wandering around and seeing if I could kill some monsters, that's why am late" the man finished with a laugh.
"I see, "Seth said, nodding his head, and then began walking away, ignoring Jacobs's call and Alice's resonating reminders for him to follow rules.
Hands in his pocket, Seth strolled up the central path, climbed up the stairs, and then sat in the empty chair, proceeding to rest his head on his arm and then observe the rest of the people in the church.
