Samael Azureus's orb glowed, and the wooden elevator shaft crashed to the ground but is Samael alive, or is he dead? "You are destined to do more son of Azazel." Samael is levitating in midair, his Azureus orb is glowing and then he suddenly touches the ground. Abbie appears on his right side and replies; "Adventurous!!! You—actually survived." Samael chuckles and replies; "of course... I can't die." Abbie shows great appreciation to Samael's Azureus orb and replies; "How do you keep my lovely companion alive?." Samael smirked and replied; "This thing doesn't talk—and we're not friends." Abbie appears right in front of Samael, with an unhappy facial expression, and replies; "Then what are we?." Samael folded his arms, smiled, and laughed. "We are... I'm a man—and you're just some artificial intelligence from another world." Samael continued to mock Abbie and then Abbie disappeared from his presence. Samael calls out for Abbie; "Abbie!!! Come on Abbie—let's get outta here." Samael asked the Azureus orb for guidance and the orb gave him the best route to exit this part of the cave. Now Samael continues to travel through the cave alone, using the Azureus orb for his light and scouting the area as he pursues the wave-point. Samael travels a long distance in the cave, he comes closer to the wave-point but he comes across a train cart and this train cart is going in the opposite direction from his destination. Samael exclaimed, "Don't want to use this... It's going in the opposite direction." Samael was about to proceed from his position but Aza bats come in contact with him and then not too far from his direction those black liquid human-like creatures are coming to his position. "Adventurous!!! We can fight these Aza bats," Abbie exclaimed. Samael is fighting off the Aza bats and replies; "Yeah... but the Aza bats are no threat—it's that damn black human slime." Abbie gives Samael a suggestion; "What about you use the train cart?." Samael thought and replied; "Not the way to go." The black liquid human-like creatures come closer, more Aza bats enter the scene and they also are attacking the black liquid human-like creatures. "Come on adventurous!!! Way too many of them—it's a suicide mission." Samael thought and replied; "Fine... let's get the heck outta here—while they're distracted." Samael jumped into the train cart and pulled the lever but the cart was not moving then he looked all around the cart and saw a giant stone blocking one of the wheels. So Samael uses his force to remove the stone, then the train cart starts to move but Samael needs to defend his train cart until it reaches max speed. Samael says as he is fending off the black liquid creatures, "Alright... You are ugly—sons of guns." The creatures are approaching the train cart, and Samael is swinging with all his might and strength. "Be—careful adventurous!!! Adventurous on the left side!." Samael nodded his head, used his force to throw the black liquid human-like creatures, and held onto the cart with both hands as it was moving faster. "Adventurous!!! Above you." Samael looked up and saw multiple of those black liquid human-like creatures leaping from above and he used his force to cause a major quake in the cave. "Wha—what's happening?." Samael holds on to the train cart tighter, as the quake caused by his magic force, the cave ceiling is caving in and Samael's train cart goes faster. The front wheels break off the cart, causing the train cart to nose dive and Samael flies off the train cart to the exit point. Now due to the magic force, Samael is alive, That entrance got caved in and Samael suddenly hears footsteps approaching him. "What the heck happened here!?." Samael rose from the ground, standing firmly in battle position, and shouted at the dirty-long black-haired man wearing some sort of mine clothes. "Now hold up there... You in my turf pal." Samael says to the miner, "What is your name!?. The miner answered back, "Lower your weapon—and I will tell." Samael lowered his weapon, and the dirty, long, black-haired man wearing my clothes introduced himself and welcomed Samael to his home. "Hello, fellow friend!!! I am Andrew—the great!!! And you have—destroyed my home." Samael smirked and replied; "this is... your home?." Andrew-the great laughed, pats Samael on the back, and leads him to his home. "Nah... this is just the out layer of my home—can't go in this way no more because of your—whatever you caused to block this entrance. Now Andrew-the great is thinking about—what you're thinking about but I like to hear my visitors... tell me what they are thinking about." Samael- what is this place? "Yesss!!! The young adventurer is seeking knowledge about my home— but first I must know him before his filthy hands... touch my most valuable treasures hidden in this mine." Samael- I am not here for your things. Andrew-the great, he takes that has a sincere word from his new visitor and then leads Samael to his actual home inside the mines. "Alright!!! Home—sweet home. I have lights... I have food—books and tons of stuff." Samael said to Andrew the Great, regarding his home, "So this is your hideout. "Haha... this is not my hideout—I live here. Welcome to the Andrew-the Great... miner—no wait. Andrew-the great mine!!! Heck yeah... that suits me—hahaha." Samael searches the area and sees a lot of old things but what catches his eye is some artwork done by someone who knows those black liquid human-like creatures. Samael questions Andrew the Great about an artwork, "Hey... what's up with this art and what do you know about it? Andrew the Great is approaching Samael, staring into the black ink and describing the tale of this art. "Just uh—about six hundred years ago... an adventurer—just like you but more in the mining business like me. Now the adventurer must have a name... so I'll give him one— Andrew-the gold digger. Nah that doesn't fit the description of me." Andrew the Great clears his throat and continues to tell the tale of this mysterious artwork that dates back six hundred years ago. "Andrew-the great miner and... treasure hunter. Now that fits the description of me—hahaha. So this great miner and treasure hunter does his mining business but at the same time, he is put to an important task given by his foes—the filthy, greedy, and jerk kingdom that is known as the Pterodac. I don't like that kingdom—neither does Andrew-the great miner and treasure hunter but anyway—one day he goes deep and deep... deeper into the mines. Now they don't call him by that name for no reason... Andrew-the great miner and treasure hunter!!! Discovered the most valuable treasure in the whole wide world but he had no choice—but to report his discovery and hand it over to his enemies. If they ever found out... he was keeping anything hidden away from them—then that awful kingdom was going to decapitate his entire family and then burn him alive... after removing his eyes they discovered the mysterious life form that comes from another planet and breeding in our planet. Samael interrupted Andrew the Great and showed no interest in Andrew the Great miner and treasure hunter but just the story about the black liquid human-like creatures. "I'm not interested to hear more about this—great treasure hunter... but what did he discover about these other life forms?." Andrew the Great stared right at Samael and continued to tell his story. "Alright!!! You don't wanna hear his origin story—but you must hear his ending and that part is very sad. So one day... he decided to hide most of his discoveries from the Pterodac kingdom and then the leaders of Pterodac were on to him about the information that—he was holding back. Then the Pterodac leaders set their plot to eliminate... Andrew-the great but first they will kill his family and then him. Now the time came—Andrew the Great was at this very place and hid his discoveries from the evil kingdom... then later that evening—he came home and found his family decapitated. Now the dark—brutal story doesn't end there but that discovery he hid from the Pterodac kingdom was his biggest mistake!!! So the leaders of the Pterodac kingdom threatened to kill him but tortured him first—nice and slowly. So the plans of killing him did not go through—but the Pterodac leaders found his discoveries and they took it back to their kingdom... but made sure that discovery of Andrew the Great was highly secured." Samael crossed his arms, leaning back on the wall and then said; "so the Pterodac kingdom—they held onto this black blob and this black blob is the cause of everything?." Andrew-the great grabbed the artwork and replied; "it's the cause—but not of everything." Now loud screeching echoing throughout Andrew-the great mine, creatures are nearby and the sound of horror continues to bounce off the walls. Samael looked up at Andrew-the great and replied; "what was that?." Andrew-the great then replied; "she's coming... You must follow me if you want to live."
