Chapter 126: chapter 126 - "... Turtle?"
Taufik tries to stop Rijal, but he is already deep inside the Cave, seeing this Taufik can only shake his head.
"*sigh* "
Then also Followed Rijal to enter the Cave. Because the earthquake was getting bigger, so he had to stop the ancient earth spirit as quickly as possible.
On the way inside, Taufik have stopped many rocks that fell toward Rijal with his Magic, but it seemed Rijal didn\'t realize it and continued running deeper into the cave.
\'This Guy... Is he wanted to die?\'
Thought Taufik, Looking at Rijal who recklessly Running without caring about his surroundings.
And After Running for several Seconds later, They Arrived at the end of the Cave, where there was an Altar which was shaped like a bed, and Above that altar a women Grouning In Pain.
"RATI!!"
Rijal who sees this, immediately Run Toward the Woman\'s side.
And that was when Taufik saw Rijal and the Women perform some kind of "Drama" It seems they convey their feelings to each other. It\'s a touching scene but the time and place are not right.
"Rati, I love you, Please stay with me"
"I too Rijal, I love you too, but I can\'t stay with you, I have obligations that I cannot renounce, So just go! I can\'t bear seeing the man I love die with me, Please"
"No, I-"
"*Ukhum!* are you guys done? Can you guys show Me how I can link to the Ancient Earth spirit?"
Said Taufik who can\'t bear to watch this anymore, the Earthquake is getting bigger, reaching 6.3 on the Richter Scale, any more than this Tarakan city will undergo a big disaster.
"Eh?" x2
Rijal and Rita looked at Taufik at the same time, it seems Rijal who came with Taufik was also forgot that he was here from the beginning.
"E-eh... W-who are you?"
Rita said, but then she remembered what she had said before, a rush of embarrassment hit her. Rati then covered her face in embarrassment.
"P-please tell me, you don\'t hear what I just said before!"
"Yeah~ I didn\'t hear it, so can you kindly show Me how I can Link to The ancient earth spirit?"
Taufik said, didn\'t want to continue this useless conversation, Because the Earthquake was getting worse, if he had not held this cave with his magic, they would be buried by the rubble right now.
Heard that Rita looked at Rijal, Seeing the hesitation shown by Rita, Rizal said.
"Don\'t worry, Grandpa was the one who sent him to come here. He is the person I told you before...
Rijal said, then got close to Rita\'s ear and Whisper.
... He was the monster, I told you before"
"*ukhum* I will pretend that I didn\'t hear that too"
Taufik cleared his throat. He Could hear what Rijal whispered to Rita, Rijal, who was caught off guard, could only scratch the back of his head awkwardly.
"Ahaha... I didn\'t mean it that way... Sorry"
"Yeah~ I don\'t care, we didn\'t have much time, so can you show ME HOW I CAN LINK TO THE ANCIENT EARTH SPIRIT?... Dammit!! I have said it Three times, Three Times, do you guys want to see this city sink?"
"..."
"..."
"Rijal please help me to stand...
Rita said, offering his hands to Rijal.
... This way sir"
Rijal then helped Rita to walk, it\'s just a few meters from the altar. Taufik thought that the altar was the "tool" To communicate with the ancient earth spirit, but it was turned out that it was really the bed that Rita used.
\'Then what the point to making it look like an alter?\'
That was What Taufik thought, following Rita and Rijal from behind.
They come to the place that has a Flat area, and in the middle of that flat Ground, there\'s something like a Magic circle, Around the magic circle there is writing that Taufik doesn\'t know, maybe it\'s vocabulary that only Dai-yak people can understand.
"Okay, Thank you Rijal"
Rita Said, then stepped into the Magic circle, she came in the middle of the magic circle and sat, after that she recited mantras in a language that Taufik again didn\'t understand.
"Sir, please step into the magic circle"
Without further ado, Taufik directly stepped into the magic circle and sat opposite Rita.
Rita then offered her hands to Taufik, Taufik took her hands and ignored the way that Rijal looked at him.
"Sir, now you will enter The ancient earth spirit\'s subconscious, enter it right now in this state of mind The ancient earth spirit has, was Dangerous, so please be careful"
Rita\'s warning for Taufik. Taufik didn\'t say anything and only nodded his head.
"Alright, prepare yourself, sir"
Rita said, then began her mantras again, the next second, the magic circle began to glow. Taufik\'s consciousness began to fade, and after that, his vision began to darken.
---------------
After Taufik Come to consciousness, he slowly opened his eyes.
What Taufik saw next, made Taufik stunned. It\'s not because the sight he saw was Beautiful or something like that, it was because what he saw was only a flat land with only one huge Mountain, there\'s no tree around, or anything like that, it\'s only Ground and the sky, Taufik would have found the atmosphere very calm.
If it weren\'t for the pitch-black miasma that was in the air, it gave off a bad feeling and was very unpleasant to smell.
Fortunately, Taufik could still see his surroundings as clear as the days, because of his Enhanced Sense.
If a normal Magician enters this, they will die in no time, because that pitch-black miasma was the corrupt Mana that The ancient earth spirit had gathered for Thousands of years.
"All of this was Mana? It\'s really disgusting... So where\'s the ancient earth spirit?"
Taufik said, there\'s no sight of anyone around, it\'s like he was the only one in this eerie place, but then...
*GRAAAGHH!!!*
A loud roar can be heard, Taufik looks around but doesn\'t see a thing, but his gaze suddenly turns to the big mountain. When Taufik looked at it more closely, the mountain shook slightly.
"... No way"
Taufik had a bad feeling when he saw the mountain, and what happened next proves that his bad feeling was right.
*Shake!!*
The Ground was shaking, and the Mountain was moved, it Really moved, and then on big leg came out from the side of the Mountain.
*BANG!!*
A loud bang can be heard when the leg touches the Ground. Then one by one the other leg also came out, four in number. And when each leg touched the Ground another Loud bang could be heard.
"... Shit"
Taufik cursed, see There seemed to be another leg bout to come out, it was what he thought at first, but What came out was a head, a very long head.
"... Turtle? Is that the ancient earth spirit?"
Taufik said, see the mountain turn to be a gigantic turtle.
*GRAAAGHH!!*
With a loud roar, the Ground was shaking, and the mountain which should have been the turtle\'s carapace, Ereupted spewing lava and boulders. The sky which was already quite dark because of the pitch-black miasma, added the light from the Lava that came out from the ancient earth spirit, this area became truly like hell.
*woossh!*
One of the Boulders was flying toward Taufik. Taufik simply Drew his katana, and with just one Slash the Boulders were split into two.
The ancient Earth spirit doesn\'t stop there, It feels that uninvited people enter his consequence, The ancient Earth spirit walks Toward Taufik, It\'s Supposed to be just walking, but one step from the ancient Earth spirit covers one kilometer long, that\'s how big The ancient earth spirit was, in front of that being, Taufik just like an ant faced with an elephant.
*Bang!! Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!*
With each step that the ancient earth spirit took a loud bang could be heard.
And just in a few steps, it\'s already arrived in front of Taufik. The ancient earth spirit raises his leg to step on Taufik, The force that this made was like the Gravity was increasing Around Taufik.
"Stop!"
With just one word from Taufik, The ancient earth spirit\'s leg stopped mid-air.
*ROAAARRR!!*
But with the Roar from The ancient earth spirit, Taufik\'s \'Word Magic\' was canceled just like that. It\'s not even able to hold the ancient earth spirit for two seconds.
"... What???"
Said Taufik, but there was no time to feel confused, because the ancient earth\'s spirit leg was keep descended toward Taufik.
In that short time, Taufik\'s brain worked very quickly, thinking about the way to get out of this situation, Flying to get out from the area that the ancient earth spirit\'s leg would step on was Not an option, opening a portal was also not an option.
The only option left was to use his \'word magic\' again and his \'Imagination Magic\'.
\'But made what?... Wait!\'
Taufik thought, but then he made a grin.
\'I hope it\'s work...
Taufik said, then used half of his Mana.
...Imagination Magic: Form Manipulation!\'
Said Taufik in his mind, then raised his hands.
"Gigantification!"
