Trapped

'Thud, Thud'

Sounds of walking echoed through the hall as Rafael was being escorted by the watchkeeper and the commanders.

The hall was pitch black and was made of black igneous bricks. 

As the group moved forward in silence. Rafael was examining the surroundings. His eyes just like before showed immense bloodlust and will to kill. If not for the fact he was restrained in these chains. 

He would've already lashed out at the commanders and watchkeeper. Although, it was still inevitable that he would be captured once again.

The hall was surprisingly big enough for the watchkeeper to enter. It looked amusing, how 11 great dragons that could kill God himself, were just escorting a little weakling like him.

"Hahaha"

Rafael chuckled at this thought. His voice had become mildly deep as his eyes conveyed nothing but sharpness and calculations. His body was quite built. Even though he still showed the same slim appearance. 

His face was always covered with a devious smile as his eyes were hidden under his hair. At this point, instead of breaking down, Rafael had grown. Every single second, his viciousness came out. Even if he wasn't intending to.

He had truly become a battle maniac, even without fighting a single battle.

As they walked forward, the watchkeeper and the commander occasionally stole a glance at him. The reason was Rafael's constant release of killing intent towards them. 

Rafael's killing intent was abrupt, sometimes it would release constantly, and sometimes it would wane out. It looked like, Rafael was forcefully holding himself back with every willpower whatsoever. So was the case.

Some time passed in silence as the group continued to move deeper into the hall. The group, should they become allies. Would indeed be a terrifying one.

A child who had been tortured to the point his revenge was driving him insane. A huge dragon the size of a goddamn planet. Along with the 10 other behemoths who were horrifying in their own way.

"Halt!"

The watchkeeper said as his voice echoed through the silent hall. 

At the end of the hall, in front of Rafael, was a gate. 

A huge gate.

Even larger than the watchkeeper.

The gate had several chains surrounding it. If Rafael looked like an ant in front of watchkeeper then he could not even be considered a bacteria in front of this gate.

That was just the difference in strength, the door was also emitting a bloodlust, similar to Rafael, just much more intense. 

Whatever was behind this gate, was something even Rafael felt fear towards.

As overflowing killing intent was being emitted through the door. Seeing this, the watchkeeper took a step forward and then he brought out a ball of something that had a cosmic color. 

It was overflowing with dense cosmic-coloured gas meanwhile the watchkeeper took another step towards the giant door.

'BAM!'

The watchkeeper threw that coloured ball with everything he had. The whole hall trembled when the ball made the impact with the gate.

What followed the impact was the dense overflowing cosmic gas covering the whole gate. The whole scenery was something so beautiful that could not be even imagined.

Especially, in a hellish place like this.

As the whole hall was illuminated by the cosmic gas as the gate finally started to open.

Soon, the giant, unmovable gate completely opened, as overflowing killing intent came crashing down the group.

The watchkeeper felt his knees bending as he took the killing intent head-on. The same was the case with the commanders. All of them were bearing it.

As the watchkeeper was sweating with apprehension, he looked behind to check up on Rafael only to see him smiling maniacally as the bones in his legs shattered. 

Rafael fell to the ground immediately as the whole of his legs were peeled off with their skins.

However, even in such a severe situation. Instead of screaming in agony, Rafael started to laugh.

"HAHAHAHAHA! Is this all you can do? You stupid behemoth, even this lazy-ass commander right next to me can do much better!"

Rafael screamed at the top of his lungs while saying those words. 

The watchkeeper widened his eyes in horror as he heard those words coming out of Rafael's mouth. 

"SHIT! CLOSE THE GAT-"

Before the watchkeeper could finish his words, a claw came out of the gate, so huge that it barely fit in the gate.

The claw entered the hall at immense speed, swiftly passing through the watchkeeper and the commanders. Straight for Rafael.

'Oh shit'

Rafael thought as the humongous black claw grabbed him, it took him inside. As the door finally closed.

------

Unknown period of time had passed since Rafael had entered this place. The place was pitch black. Darkness reigned supreme everywhere.

'Shit, the plan backfired'

Rafael thought as regret surged through him. His original plan was to have the watchkeeper and the commanders get trapped. But who the hell knew that bastard would straight target him?

However, time stops for no one. He had to move on.

As Rafael contemplated about the situation. He suddenly felt something moving in the dark.

'Huh?'

Rafael immediately looked behind him in everlasting Darkness as he felt something move there.

He narrowed his eyes as he started to make his way towards there. 

The best option right now in Rafael's opinion was to just give up. He has no chance of survival should the behemoth want to kill him. For some reason, Rafael felt that this guy could absolutely and utterly kill him.

Even in hell where everyone is immortal.

However, he could not just wait there and wait for his death. At the very least he wanted to die trying.

-------------------

Time passed unknowingly, It had almost been an hour according Rafael since the time he started moving. He had moved quite a bit from his original position. However, to no fruit whatsoever.

It was about time, Rafael had started to give up. However.

'Bang!'

Rafael immediately backed up as he realized he had hit something. As Rafael opened his eyes, hoping something was there. He realized there was nothing.

Absolute Darkness.

'Wait a minute, what the hell am i doing?'

Rafael thought as he hated himself to not think about this before. This place is silent and dark. So, right now 2 of his 5 senses are useless. The other 2 senses that he could use for direction was of touch and smell.

As Rafael closed his eyes, he solely focused himself on his sense of touch and that's when his eyes widened in surprise.

'The ground, It's vibrating!'

Rafael screamed inwardly in surprise as he started to place all of his focus into it. 

'The ground is vibrating in a certain direction'

Rafael realized as he started to follow the vibrations. During this, he also started to focus on his sense of hearing instead of smell.

Silence.

Except for the sound of vibrations.

The feel and the sound was so minute that if Rafael didn't give it his all to feel it, he probably would not be able to detect it.

As the realization hit him, Rafael got an idea.

Rafael took a deept breath and...

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Rafael screamed on top of his lungs, As his scream echoed through the whole seemingly endless place. Rafael realized something.

'The echo didn't bounce back from here' Rafael thought as he touched the mysterious object that he can't see.

However, to his horrors he realized something.

'The echo didn't bounce back from this whole side. It bounced from the other side and all of the other directions other than this. Tha-at means...'

Soon, an impossibly large eye opened in front of Rafael.
