**********

In a rocky path where normal humans might find it difficult to even take a walk, a red snake could be seen slithering its way with wary eyes.

It has been few kilometres since he had already distanced himself from the devil. Even though Kylo said he was staying back because he wanted to train, Nigel did not believe it.

He wanted to but he couldn't. He had no idea what Kylo wanted to do by staying behind...

[But I am absolutely sure it is not because of training.] Nigel thought with a sigh.

There were two reasons behind this mainly. Firstly he absolutely trusted his beastly instincts.

[And secondly because he is a Devil.] Yes that is a foolish conclusion, but he he could not help it. After all that was the impression of devils the universe had!

Although it has only been few hours he met Kylo, Nigel was already feeling tired because he had to be alert all the time in front of Kylo.

Suddenly Nigel stopped in its way. The snake looked at the ground with his sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through the ground.

But nothing could be seen there. The snake did not mind that it couldn't see anything.

Light, all of a sudden, started shining on his scarlet colored scales. He slowly became a little bigger than he previously was.

What was more bizzare was that his upper half seemed like a human. No it was human!

With two hands and a handsome human face, he seemed completely like a human if not for the rest of his body, which was covered with red colored scales.

His eyes and hair were both red colored and his body was oozing an aura of divinity! Only the aura around him was strong enough to subdue most of the beasts with weaker bloodline.

This was his bloodline transformation!

Bloodline of Nagas!!

He made complicated seals with his hands and energy started gathering around him. Without any hesitation he attacked the ground.

Suddenly bright yellow light started shining with various complicated runes on the ground. The light shot straight up. Even though it did not cross the cave's laws, it was just on the border of the cave.

The light shone in a circular style with various intricate designs on it. If someone were to step inside the array, they would definitely be trapped inside the formation.

Nigel's expression changed seeing the intricate designs.

[High level runes?] He calmed down after few seconds but he became warier.

Not to mention ordinary people even Kylo was not able to see this formation. He, even though mentioned many traps beforehand with the information he had as the 'owner' of the cave, Kylo also said he does not know everything about the cave and adviced both Avery and Nigel to be careful.

Even Nigel could not see the formation when he stopped moving. It was his beastly instincts warned him of danger and that was the reason it stopped.

[Indeed I should trust my beastly instincts no matter what.]

Nigel squinted his vermillion eyes and looked below the formation. He knew where there is a trap there is a possibility of treasure.

Rather than knowing this was what the devil had said in his 'lecture' before they departed from him.

Since this is a formation that meant there was something inside it. Had Nigel been trapped inside, it would have been almost impossible for him to break through it because he would be unable to use any energy inside the formation.

Yes that was how the formation was designed. Anyone inside would not be able to use any kind of energy. And it did not end there. Their reserve energy would also be slowly sapped away by the formation making it stronger.

Of course this was only for those at his level. If there were someone stronger than Supremo Stage, he could definitely snap the formation with his finger.

If he was inside, the situation would have been dead serious. But being outside he just snorted and gathered quiet a large amount of energy. If any other fighter saw this they would have been stunned.

Nigel's cultivation base was just at Dao king stage but the energy he has gathered around him was not any less than someone who would have broke through Dao Emperor stage! And this was when he was not even using his power to the fullest!!

He shot the attack on the formation. The formation trembled.

*Crack*

It took less than two seconds for the formation to crack and less than five seconds for the formation to break. The snake already had droplets of sweat on his forehead since this attack sapped more than one fourth of his total energy.

But Nigel did not care. He, with his usual apathetic yet cautious expression, crawled its way through the formation.

Since the formation broke everything on the ground was razed, so Nigel could easily crawl inside the ground.

Just few metres inside the ground and he stopped. No he stopped after seeing a piece of metal, a hexagonal shaped light yellow metal lying there.

Nigel was stunned for few seconds. The metal was a rare metal known as Glavier. It was precious even in his own world.

It was not like he had never seen. In fact being the most talented prince of his country he himself had two pieces of this metal.

But out of several princes of his empire, only he had two Glaviers. Heck he was the only prince who had glaviers with him.

The empire itself only had 7 Glaviers collected since their millions of years of history.

To many, this might be a worthless metal. Because this Glavier had only one use. To carve and activate a formation.

Yes without formation on it, a Glavier is useless. It can not be used to create a weapon or anything.

But the thing was once there was a formation on a Glavier, and with enough energy they can activate the formation.

And why this was precious? Because it was a movable formation!!!

For example in a fight supposedly one is losing, then he can just activate the formation on the enemy, the enemy will be trapped while his energy will be sapped.

He can simply recover the energy, deactivate the formation when his enemy's entire energy is absorbed and then use his best move to kill him.

That was why Nigel's expression changed.

[A Glavier with high level rune!] Nigel's expression was heavy.

Nevertheless he picked it up with his hand and stored it inside his space pocket. After checking the surrounding once again he started moving.

He was starting to have a bad feeling. He could not point out what it was exactly but he was feeling it.

The feeling of being a pawn in the grand scheme of things.

This was the instinct of the descendants of the Hachi ryu-ou! The instincts of the Nagas!!

He changed back to his previous snake form with gloomy eyes. He could not maintain the formation for this effected his injuries.

He did not know what was waiting for him as he crawled forward but one thing he was sure of, this Glavier was the thing which would surprise him the least in this cave of treasures and dangers...
