Blood in the rose thistles

Chapter 28

"Tsk. We're late." Eruhaben-nim looked at the massive whirlpools blocking their way, there were strong waves keeping them out and trying to go near the place.

"That's the ship, right?" Choi Han asked and pointed at an abandoned ship not away from them.

"Human!!" Raon immediately flew towards it, and he brought Choi Han with him using flight magic. Aquaria-nim controls the waves to make the ship closer to them, and when it's in a safe distance. Beacrox and Ron jump towards it with the kittens in tow.

When they got back, Raon was sulking and flew towards Eruhaben.

"Goldie gramps!! Humans are not there! Where is he?!" Raon shouted in front of Eruhaben's face.

"Perhaps there inside?" Aquaria-nim said and pointed at the monster creating a whirlpool to keep them out.

"That monster keeps circling like it's protecting something inside. Maybe that's the place they've been looking for?"

"In that case then we can't intervene. Let's wait here." Eruhaben said and walked to the edge and sat there quietly.

Cale and Alexina rejoiced when they saw the ruins of the temples when they arrived at the top.

Boom!

Cale's heart suddenly started to beat wildly.

"Gasp!" Cale grasped his chest and took a deep breath.

"Cale! Are you alright?" Alexina, who is about to go, returned to his side worriedly. However, Cale quickly recovered and waved his hand to say that he was okay.

'It's here.' He heard a voice in his mind. It's the voice of super rock.

'...It's here? What?'

'The thing that will help you.'

"Help me?'

'This will strengthen your plate. You must get this Cale. Don't leave this island without getting it.' the super rock said with some threatening tone.

"Let's go." Cale started walking while trying to assure Alexina that he was fine. When Alexina is sure that Cale's fine, she immediately went to the temple that's near them which is the temple of the God of War but she suddenly trips.

"Oh! Come on! This is easier! I will go to you last since you're the farthest!! Let go of me!" Alexina tried to remove the black some that is circling around her feet.

'Wahhh!! Choose me first! You're my Saintess!'

"Shut up! I'll go to you later. Now let me go!" Alexina took a rock and hit the smoke, and it disappeared. Alexina stood up and glared at the temple of the said god, and rolled her eyes.

"Let's go Cale. Let's loot this temple. I mean look around." Alexina entered the ruins. The place still looks intact but there are already some parts of the foundation that are not there. The most intact is the altar.

"But I doubt that I can bring something for Alaric in this place. I'm not under the God of War same with the God of Sun. That's why God of Death gives me a lot of things." Alexina smiled with malice in her eyes. Cale gave her a thumbs up.

Alexina walked to the altar and saw that there's a treasure chest in there. Wow, this god is loaded. Cale moved closer to her and leaned down to see what treasure does the God of War have in their temple.

'I'm also loaded.' the God of Death talks to her.

"Oh..." Cale exclaimed when they opened the chest. There's only one thing in that place.
