“But of course I’ll come along! After all, this is the first time you’ve
even suggested for me to stay by your side!” replied Queena with a
seductive smile.
Hearing that, Gerald simply nodded at her with a faint smile.

Naturally, he wasn’t about to tell her that he was going to save the
woman in white at midnight. However, he was also well aware that
if he wasn’t willing to make at least a slight compromise, then he’d
surely end up suffering much greater losses should Queena ruin his
efforts while he was summoning the woman in white’s soul…
It was about an hour later when Gerald asked, “Seth, do you truly
remember where the snake cave is…?”
The trio who were currently following Seth—after all four of them
entered the mountain—consisted of Rosie—who had been curious
about the snake cave—Queena—who had agreed to come along
since Gerald invited her to—and Gerald himself.
“Of course I do! However, since this place is rather secluded, I still
need to gather my bearings a bit better!” replied Seth as he
scratched the back of his head before stepping atop a nearby
boulder.
A few seconds later, he then exclaimed, “I found it! It’s over there!”
Following that, he then agilely hopped off before taking a few steps
forward and pushing some dense bushes aside… With that, a round
cave entrance—that was almost as tall as a person—revealed itself
to everyone.

A much younger Seth had first bumped into it while he was having
fun with his friends. He remembered how his friends had dared him
to enter the cave, and of course, he had taken the bet. Seth recalled
that upon entering the cave, he had found an extremely large piece
of discarded snakeskin. He had also come across a fruit in the cave,
and eating it allowed him to gain the superpowers he had today.
Regardless, the snakeskin was the obvious reason why Seth had
named this place the snake cave.
Moving back to the present day, all four of them found the need to
lower their backs slightly as they proceeded further into the cave.
After walking for some time, however, the cave soon opened up. As
it turned out, that was a gigantic stone chamber in the cave that was
honestly quite spacious.
Located right in the middle of the cave, was that large discarded
snakeskin that Seth had told them about. From what Gerald could
tell, the snake that had shed such a massive pile of skin could easily
be as strong as the monster that Gerald had fought in the
underground area back when he was still in the desert.

Whatever the case was, Seth—who now appeared to be so familiar
with the place that it almost seemed like he had just returned
home—then declared, “Well, this is the place!”
Following that, he then smiled before switching on the searchlight—
that he had brought along—and taking a turn in the dark cave.
With the aid of the searchlight, Gerald was finally able to see his
surroundings clearly. As was expected, strange paintings adorned
every corner of the cave. Upon scanning through the area, he even
noticed the presence of an enchanting-looking plant growing from
inside one of the cave’s crevices. However, no fruits could be found
growing on the plant.
“That’s the plant that I obtained the fruit from back then… However,
it seems that it hasn’t borne any fruit again ever since I picked the
only one growing back when I was still a child!” deduced Seth.
“How truly odd… This ancient plant is called a Lukra, and it has
miraculous properties… Since the plant only bears a single fruit once
in its entire lifetime, you truly are lucky to have been the one to eat
it. Regardless, I’m pretty sure that their fruits’ aren’t that effective
on earth due to its lack of holy spirits,” explained Queena with a
smile, making it quite obvious that she knew quite a bit about the
plant.

“I agree with the fruit being miraculous… After all, Seth did obtain
superpowers upon eating it,” replied Gerald though his focus had
been on the paintings on the cave walls this entire time.
From what he could see, the paintings on the walls were extremely
old. Ancient, even. After briefly scanning through them, Gerald soon
found himself raising a slight brow.
The things he saw on the walls were… weird, to say the least. For
one, one of the paintings depicted a winged humanoid figure. As if
that wasn’t already odd enough, the person even had three eyes!
