Chapter 29 The Cave and The Illusion

"W-Where am I?" I asked myself to no avail. I was within a dark cave with nothing insight. I couldn't even see my hand if it was right in front of me so I activated my Kenbunshoku haki and sensed around me.

I was within a smooth hall way as far as I could tell and I knew it led straight ahead but I couldn't find out anything else. 'Well, might as well train my Ken haki.' I thought as I continued onward.

Behind me it had been a dead end so I walked towards where I was facing when I had woke up. 'So what had happened? I was going down the ravine when my arms and my body itself gave way but immediately I suddenly landed on the ground. But there was no ground I am sure! And how'd I go from there to here?' I thought to myself as I continued walking forward.

A few minutes later something peculiar happened. "WOOSH!" A giant battled axe came flying down. Immediately I blocked it with my haki coated hands. On impact the blade of the axe immediately cracked and the axe fell on the floor.

'Jeez my Buso is strong now! That would have cut my hand before.' I thought as I ventured onward towards where ever this cave led to. An hour later I felt tired and took a rest.

Although I had already slept before I woke up (obviously) I had the urge to sleep again. The next day or the next time I woke up I continued down the hall. Every now and then something would attack me at fast speeds. Each one faster than the last.

A few hours later I reached 3 diverging paths. 'So which one should I go down.' I thought as I immediately sensed towards each hall. Everytime though my sensing range was too small to see to the end.

'Well lets just go right since right is always right.' I thought to myself as I went down the right path. Within it was just more and more cave. Eventually though something out of my expectations happened.

Six axes flew towards me 3 from the back and 3 from the front. They were all at differing angles making it almost impossible for me to block them all. 'I have to dodge.' I thought as I swiftly moved my body to dodge all the attacks.

I succeded, though not without a scratch as an axe had briefly passed my cheek. After that I continued walking down the path. Days soon passed as I walked down the path. No end in sight. 'Is this a common theme these days?' I thought to myself as I continued walking.

Soon I ran into a problem though, hunger. I had lost my bag full of supplies when I woke up and now I had began to starve and dehydrate. My body soon began to grow weak as it began to shut down bit by bit.

'No! Not today.' I thought as I continued walking and walking. My situation didn't get any better though as later that day I was on my last legs. 'Not again.' I thought as I blanked out. Having been close to death 3 times in the last 5 chapters isn't a pleasant feeling.

"Where am I now." I muttered as I found myself in a bed. My bed. To be specific original Cyril's bed. "Come for breakfast." Cyril's mum shouted. "Okay." I responded with as I got dressed and went downstairs.

"So how's it going?" She asked as I simply replied "I am fine." After that we ate breakfast and chatted a bit here and there. "So you're going to school?" She asked as I nodded subconciously. "Well you dont look like you're dressed for it go and change!" She said angrily as I quickly went up and got changed.

'What happened did I go back in time or is this one of those illusions!? But its too real! But wait, isn't it like that in all cultivation novels? I mean damn man I've sworn I've read the same situation happening to at least 3 other characters.' I thought as I got dressed and went downstairs.

"The van is here now go." My mum said as I quickly went on the van. "Bye mum." I said as I sat on the van and went to school.

Once at school I met Drake and Jack and we chatted for a bit. "Man so have you heard that Foxman beats Amazingman?" Jack asked as I simply shook my head. Drake though responded with "Ya man I dont know how considering he's just a normal guy, although he did have a metal fox suit."

And so the day went by like that of a regular day on Earth. "Class has ended you may go home now." The teacher said as I went out of class along with Jack and Drake.

Outside though there was a flaming boy. "FUFUFUFU! Die all of you!" He said as he threw fireball after fireball at everyone. "What is going on." I said as I rushed downstairs. Drake and Jack also followed after me.

"Wow that's so cool." Jack said. "YA BUT HE'S KILLING PEOPLE! HIT THE DECK!" Drake responded with as a fireball flew at us and we jumped to the ground. "So here you are." The flaming boy responded with as he looked at me.

Immediately Jack and Drake were lit on fire. "UAGHHHH!" "GAHHHH!" Jack and Drake screamed as the boy smiled. 'NO! I may not know them that well and I may not be Cyril but NO!' I thought as quickly I took of my shirt and ran towards him.

"Woah what gave you that vibe?" The flaming boy said as he shot a fireball towards me. Seeing this I rolled to the side and it barely missed me. With all my might I dashed further towards him as he shot a fireball at me again.

This time I threw my shirt at it and at him as I rolled underneath it and jumped up punching him in the face. Immediately I willed Purifier to appear and surprisingly it did as I swung towards his head. "But dont you want to save them first?" He asked as I looked towards Drake and Jack who had now been burnt to death.

Seeing this something deep within my soul reacted. "NO NOT AGAIN!!!" I screamed as an aura of dominance spread out from my body knocking out everyone within the vacinity. As this happened the scene disappeared and I felt drained of energy.

"Well done." A voice said as I appeared within a grand palace.
