Teach Me How To Werewolf [COMPLETED]

Chapter 91 - Stairs

(POV Eliana)

Pagpasok namin ng pinto, puno ito ng kadiliman. It took awhile before our eyes were fully adjusted. We are like in a huge circular room pero may butas ang gitna as if papunta sa abyss. A few more step at pwede na kami mahulog sa malalim at madilim na bangin. Bianca opened her flashlight at dahil sa takot niya, nabitawan niya ito at nahulog sa endless pit of darkness.

"Are we trapped here?" kabadong tanong ni Bianca.

"I think we need to use these stairs," turo ni Gareth sa makipot na hagdanan.

Nakadikit ito sa wall at konting mali na paghakbang ay maari kami mahulog sa madilim na abyss. Nagsimula kaming bumaba gamit ang hagdan. We are walking in single file at nasa bandang unahan si Elixir followed by Tristan. Ako naman at si Bianca ay nasa likod nila, samantalang si Gareth ay nasa likod namin.

"We are on top of the Himalayas. I wonder if it will take us days to reach the Alpha Crypt," sabi ni Elixir habang naglalakad sa unahan.

Ilang minuto na din naglalakad nang biglang may marinig kami na kakaibang tunog. The whole place began to shake at unti unting nahuhulog ang mga steps na una namin ginamit.

"Guys! The stairs are collapsing! Run!" sigaw ni Gareth.

The five us run as fast as we can pero maingat pa rin kami dahil pwede kami mahulog anytime. Sa pagmamadali namin, nahulog ang isang paa ni Bianca. She almost slipped at akala ko ay mahuhulog siya ng tuluyan sa abyss pero madali siya nahawakan ni Gareth sa braso.

"Damn it! Can you at least be careful?" inis na sabi ni Gareth sa kanya, but Bianca remained quiet.

Siguro dahil sa takot at sa trauma dahil muntikan na siyang mahulog. She can survive the fall, but she is probably afraid if there are nasty creatures lurking in the darkness.

Sinubukan kong gamitin ang time freezing ability ng Petroshka family at tumigil ang pagguho ng stairs. Four of my colleagues are now frozen like statue. I also used X-Ray vision skill ng Kimura family to find any doors. It seems that there are several doors deeply concealed on the wall at walang makakaalam na may pinto dito. There is one small metallic door a few meters from Elixir. If this is concealed, we need Bianca's blood to remove the concealment spell.

I unfroze the time at pinaliwanag sa kanila ang nakita ko. Bianca just nodded and used her knife to cut her palm. Dinikit niya ang duguan na kamay niya sa wall and the metallic door quickly materialized in front of us.

"Eliana, is there a trap inside that door?" tanong sa akin ni Tristan habang tinutulak nila ni Elixir ang pinto.

"Nothing, just a plain endless corridor."

Pagbukas ng pinto, pinapasok agad namin si Bianca at si Elixir. Tristan took my hand as we enter the door. Mabilis din na humakbang papasok sa loob si Gareth sa loob ng pinto. All of us are catching our breath nang makapasok sa loob ng pinto. A few more seconds, the stairs will collapse and we will surely fall in this endless darkness.

"I think I already hate Celina Renard for creating such traps. Elixir, any plans?" tanong ni Gareth.

"Gareth, I don't have a map of the Morpheus Castle."

"How did Gresilda accessed this massive place? Is she that powerful?"

"She is a powerful Death Siren and a demon witch. She has the Stygian Sphere with the power of the werewolf souls. She is also the daughter of Celina Renard. I am not sure how she was able to enter this castle, but she must have obtained these information directly from mother. Alive or dead, I don't know," sagot ni Elixir sa kanya.

Elixir may have an idea about the Morpheus castle pero masyadong malaki ito. Aabutin kami ng ilang araw para marating ang Alpha Crypt.

"Eliana, will you be able to pinpoint the Alpha Crypt?" tanong ni Tristan sa akin.

I closed my eyes and using the ability of the Kimura family, I can see that we are located numerous floors above the entrance of the Alpha Crypt. Napakalayo namin dahil para kaming nasa taas ng bundok, samantalang ang Alpha Crypt ay nasa ilalim.

"Tristan. it will take us days or even weeks to reach the Alpha Crypt. Napakalaki ng lugar na ito. We don't have enough time."

"Can you teleport us?"

"I think so, pero kailangan ko muna makita ang pupuntahan natin."

"I will join you."

"No, Tristan. Stay here. Mas mabilis ako kung hindi kita kasama. Mas marami ako maiikot na lugar. Can you give me a few minutes?"

Tumango lang si Tristan sa akin. I already master the teleportation skill, but this castle is limiting my ability. I can't teleport directly sa loob ng Alpha Crypt.
