Chapter 52: The Blue Fire Arena (1)

The sound of liquid dripping on the broken floor entered Yoongi's ears. Was it blood? Drool? He could not care. The glowing eyes of crimson seemed to see through his soul. It was ominous and mysterious sending chills down his spine. He knew he could just release the string of his bow and escape, but he was caught in a terrifying trance. He could not move an inch of his feet while he kept staring at the eyes gradually nearing. His breath quickened and he could hear the loud pounding of his heart. What... was in front of him?

The creature cackled loudly seeing the delightful fear in Yoongi's eyes. However, he also finds his courage loathsome. "The... foreign soul of the divine... you smell sweeter than the flesh of fae."

The footsteps grew heavier and faster. The sound of the creature's footfall made Yoongi think that it had already reached him. The words it had spoken awoken the fear in the heart of the youth but he didn't release the tension of his back, not even slightly. He was scared, yes. And he was scared of death most of all, but he would never go down without fighting for his life.

Yoongi noticed the brightening glow of his white band. Although he was relieved, his eyes didn't stray from his target. However, the creature noticed it and released a desperate roar. Before Yoongi's figure had teleported his fingers on the bowstring relaxed and the ice arrow flew swiftly. He didn't know if he had hit it but before his body disappeared, a bloody arm stretched out towards his face. It's long black claws just inches away from his face.

Yoongi disappeared.

.............................

"Hah, hah... Hah... "

Yoongi appeared inside a tunnel. The first thing he did was drop on his knees and breathed. His sacred weapon disappeared before it could fall on the floor. Droplets of sweat that he had never noticed dripped down on the stoned floor underneath him. It took him a couple of minutes before he finally calmed himself down. It was a frightening experience. He had never been bewitched by anything in this life. Captain Namjoon had trained his body and mind to resist anything malignant that could twist his thoughts and move his spirit. However, earlier he was completely lured. He exhaled deeply and closed his eyes tightly. Truly, he was still weak. He had wavered and almost lost himself to something...

To... someone?

He didn't get a clear look at the rest of the creature's body except for its outstretched arm. The arm was covered in strip-like wounds, bleeding heavily. The skin color was hard to identify because of the blood. It might have belonged to a human, an elf, he wasn't sure. Yoongi sat up and slid down the wall beside him. His gaze stared at the bright light at the end of the tunnel.

His bracelet gleamed and a new message appeared.

'You have entered the final trial. Please proceed to the arena'

His silver eyes glanced shortly as the exit of the tunnel. He leaned the back of his head on the wall behind him as he closed his eyes. After all this, he's going bathe in his warm scented waters for the whole day. He won't even care if his whole body would prune up.

With a groan, he pulled himself up and supported himself on the wall as he stood up. If he wanted that cozy bath, he must finish the trials as soon as possible. The heels of his boots clicked on the stoned floor as he walked towards the end of the tunnel. While he walked he kept thinking about the original's last words and the unknown creature that tried to catch him. The memory of the temple halls also made him really curious. Honestly, there was so much going on in his mind that his head ached.
