Chapter 132: Mountain Treasure
Sage chuckled, free to make as much noise as he wished while within the Mantids internal dimension. Moving away from the camp, he found a secluded place and spent a few minutes merging with a Warp Worm. Using the worm he moved to catch up with the two who slipped out of camp and with a few uses of Hindsight he caught up easily. The first man stopped in front of what seemed to be a random bush before pushing aside a few of the branches and climbing into it.
Sage used the tremorsense of the Warp Worm to track the mans progress. The bush actually hid a small cave entrance, a near vertical shaft that reminded Sage of the time he had been trapped in that mine and had to crawl his way out of a similar style of hole in the ground. The other man followed behind less than a minute later, taking some time to find the hole, but still following along. The first man seemed to have chosen wisely as the tunnel led down to a large cavern. The cavern was filled with stalagmites, each as tall as a man. The stone here was tinged with a strange shade of blue, matching with the pool of bright blue, almost cyan, water that gathered in the middle of the cavern. In the center of the pool was a single large stalagmite that was very unusual. Instead of having a sharp point rising into the air, it looked like the tip of it had sheared off and on the small flat platform sat a perfectly round sphere. The sphere seemed to be the same color as the water, but it was semi-translucent like a gemstone and glowing with a yellow light from within.
The first man walked slowly towards it, his face a mix of emotions like he was imagining all the great things that would happen to him once he took away this object that could only be a treasure. That distraction proved his downfall. Before he could put his hand on the sphere, he suddenly let out a loud grunt of pain and slid down to his knees. The second man had caught up with him and stabbed a sword into his back. Catching him at his weakest moment and clearing the way to take the treasure himself.
Its just too bad for him that the treasure couldnt be taken by just anyone. The second man put his hand on the sphere and smiled widely only to be frozen in place. His eyes seemed to glaze over, like a battle was going on in his mind. Sweat started to pour down from his forehead and into his eyes. Sage was surprised that the sweat right in his eyes couldnt break him out of the trance. Whatever that is must be powerful.
Worried that the treasure might make this man impossible to defeat, Sage moved the Warp Worm into action. Poking the Worms head out of the ground and allowing him to leap out. Sage didnt really have a great killing technique, so he chose the crude route. The same method as a while back came forth, a huge sandstone red club appeared in his hands. The weapon that looked like a stone golems head on a pole smashed down on top of the mans head and killed him nearly instantly. While the man was actually a stage higher than Sage, he was completely defenseless while trapped in a battle of wills with the glowing sphere. Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled through Ñôv€l--B1n.
Seeing the rapid organization, Sage split his focus. He had a spirit stone in his hand to speed up the activation of the Formation Plate underneath him, but he also threw out a bead of green energy onto a nearby stalagmite, a tiny bud sprouting and rapidly growing into a sapling and then a conical shaped tree. The Sacred Banyan appeared in front of him and used his other techniques to start growing the aerial roots into a wall.
Boom!
After releasing the Wolves, the Beast Tamer pulled out a heavy iron chain and smashed it against the trees that had just appeared in front of Sage. A moment later, the Leader of the group threw a handful of seeds with little white fluff hanging from them like milkweed or cottonwood seed. A gentle gust of wind blew them towards the Sacred Banyans. The tiny fluffs carried them in the wind until they touched against the Banyans and stuck in place against the wood. Just as quickly as the Banyans formed, these new little seeds sprouted into huge flower blooms. Digging their roots into the Banyans and draining their energy to foster their own growth.
In the meantime, the pack of Wolves took down a Charming Lance Beetle with their numbers. A Chameleon Mantis had its head sliced off by a Sabre coated in wind energy, and a huge palm swatted a pair of Emerald Dragonflies out of the air. The Tamer entangled a Steel Silk Centipede with his chain, but started swearing when the Centipedes acid melted the chain. The Leader of the group finished using his strange flowers to wipe out Sages Sacred Banyans and waved his hands. The huge flowers blooming at the same time and twisting to point themselves towards Sage. The flower petals spun open and revealed hundreds of small black seeds, gleaming like tiny ball bearings.
Sage smiled at the Leader and his flowers, Youre too late.
