17 Entering the mysterious cave

The winning team entered the cave first as previously agreed, so that the conflict would end and there would be no more problems.

A time passed and the other group entered, they looked excited despite being left behind, they all had eyes of absolute greed, this group was made up of a lancer, an archer and a glove, they looked quite inexperienced and not individually strong, but they did a good teamwork, possibly they were already known and together they joined a guild.

'There is no sound coming from inside the cave, it seems that near the entrance there is no danger, anyway what worries me most is what is in its depths'. Thought Getrar.

'Maybe I could partner with someone to come in and watch our backs, but that option is also risky, especially if it's someone I don't know, the fact that treason for treasures is so easy, blind greed is a hallmark of many people'. Getrar thought deeply.

'I'm going to look around to see if it's feasible, but if it's not, it's not a big problem, the higher the risks, the better the rewards'. Getrar thought to himself.

First of all, Getrar was not a very sociable person, so he had never been enthusiastic about the idea of forming a group, he thought it would be more of a delay than a help and he needed to focus a lot on his training.

Getrar looked from side to side and did not find anyone who was alone or who did not seem suspicious and added to the list that there was someone who wanted to kill him, he could not take the risk, unless he was sure.

'Well, apparently, there is no one who can help me, so I will enter on my own, I will be as careful as possible not to fall into any trap or ambush, either by someone outside or by an enemy inside.' Getrar thought with decision.

When Getrar reached the entrance he saw that there was a landslide nearby, this cave was probably discovered by an earthquake, otherwise it would not be explained because it had not been seen before since it was not far from the road.

This cave seemed to have been built by someone, did not look natural at all or had been excavated by an exile, it even gives a feeling of age and of course the smell of blood was strong.

It was a deep and large cave, only the exterior seemed natural, but the interior was made of well pressed rectangular stone next to each other, the whole construction was like this, including the top, and it was a square tunnel.

The stones were gray and slightly dusty, a little worn and somewhat eroded, which shows that it was not a recent construction and that it was very well made, so they had very little dust, it was as if it were some kind of ancient tomb.

'Wow, impressive, what dedication and effort they put into this, even the sensation I have when touching the stones gives me a kind of sanctity, I really should enter here, I feel like I'm desecrating the place, as if it really was a sacred place'. Getra thought.

"All these corpses you see are semi-human, I can't distinguish any bone from exile, maybe the exiles instinctively never entered this place although they knew it existed, since this construction must have been done in their presence and they never tried to destroy this and I am looking for people indoors". Murmured Getrar in a low voice.

'There is no point in repenting now, so between now I will go ahead and see what I find, whether it be misfortune or fortune, it will all depend on my ability and well, some luck'. Thought Getrar excited.

Something that Getrarus found strange was that, apart from the fact that there were only semi-human bones, these bones seemed to be intact, but not only that, but the time that passed was not so long as to reach that state, it is as if after to die, they would have been brutally punished, tearing all their flesh, it was a scene from the underworld.

'Shit, what is all this, I have recurring chills all over my spine, it is worse than the feeling that someone is following you with murderous intent, it is a feeling of total brutality, a bloodthirsty intention, that not only killing you is enough He even has to tear your soul so that you cannot reincarnate and remain forever in the underworld, suffering countless tortures'. Getrar thought with a cold sweat that spilled from time to time on his complexion.

'I've never felt something like this, does this place really have something that shouldn't be touched or am I just exaggerating? I better be on my guard now, but if things are too dangerous, I won't be able to defend myself'. Getrar thought deeply.

Later, Getrarus saw that there was a door, it was large and rectangular, it also seemed to be made of stone, but it had different patterns that he did not know, perhaps they were ornaments or words of antiquity, but unlike the rest, the stones were white and dustless it was weird, I could only think it was an enchanted door.

There was magic in this world as well, so of course there were enchantments, curses, blessings, among others, therefore they could have different effects and enchant different things, so some items could be cursed and others blessed.

When something was normally related to magic, it would surely be troublesome, as there were very few demihumans who had the ability to use magic, first of all, most were prodigies of empires or were from some important place, and these were treated as treasures of the respective places, which made them behave in an arrogant and sometimes eccentric way.

The last case seemed to not have the ability to use magic correctly and not because of not having skill, but because they did not have much common sense and were even very easily influenced, especially by other people who wanted to do inappropriate things, since they were treated in a special way, they did not have much knowledge of the behavior of the outside world.

Therefore, many times they had cursed objects and even people without reason, they only did what they were told, they also had the ability to prepare magic traps, etc.

Of course, there are always exceptions who had brilliant abilities and to this day they help the world a lot, there are also wizards and witches who venture into the world and join the guilds, their companions greatly appreciate them as they can help them to detect all kinds of traps, they could bless objects and remove curses.

Getrar treats them the same way as everyone else, some do not like or hate them directly and others covet them to use and treat them simply as objects.

When Getrar opened the door, he found a large rectangular room, about 20 meters high and 40 meters long and wide, its walls were of the same material as the door and it also seemed to be haunted, it did not have a single speck of dust, and It was lit by magic crystals embedded in the walls, this great room had many skeletons everywhere, but what stood out was that there were 4 doors, two in the front and one on each side.

This was beginning to look like a maze.
