Chapter 109: Big Hole
Yes, trees over a hundred meters tall were toppled just like that.
Camila and Theos were no different. They were sent flying, narrowing against other trees or rocks.
Fortunately, the trees fell like that behind them, so none of them were crushed.
"Are they okay?" asked Luna worriedly, approaching Theos and Camila.
Although the two fell in different places, they were close to each other.
"Pretty much," Theos said with a hint of pain.
Even for him, sending him flying like that and making him constrict against a tree, no doubt it was quite painful.
But looking to his side, he saw Camila, who hit several giant rocks.
"She\'s had it worse than me," Theos muttered.
Luna heard him and turned her head to find Camila with several wounds on her body, a product of colliding with a multitude of rocks.
But she stood up, showing no sign of pain or discomfort.
\'Can she regenerate?\' wondered Luna, surprised.
Camila\'s wounds and cuts, several superficial, but many others quite deep and serious, were slowly healing.
Her wounds were closing.
Theos smiled. "I know you\'re mentally wondering, and yes, dragons can heal... Well, higher-level dragons like her," he stated.
Luna nodded, finding this quite logical. After all, she is the princess from the Dragon Kingdom
"Have you two stopped looking at me already?" asked Camila with a frown.
For a while now, Theos and Luna had been staring at her. She felt uncomfortable.
"Uh, sorry," Luna apologized, turning to look away.
Theos just smiled, turning his head to talk to Luna. "Well, you see, nothing happened to you. That object must be very fond of you."
Luna smiled slightly as well. "Hopefully it is as you say."
Theos wanted to continue the conversation but realized he was still stuck in between the trees he had crashed into.
Slowly but surely, and using some negative Mana, he was able to separate himself from the trees that entangled him.
Finally, after getting out from between the giant trees, Theos pulled a small B-rank potion from his storage ring.
Even though he didn\'t have many injuries compared to Camila, he wanted to be in top condition to face anything.
He quickly took the potion. Instantly, the wounds closed little by little.
Luna watched this whole process without saying much, as did Camila.
After seeing that his body was recovering and that the team was assembled, his expression turned serious
"Okay, let\'s stop joking," he continued. "Luna, go to that hole, go into it. With my energy aura on you, along with your same aura, it\'s no exaggeration to say that you can withstand Grand Master attacks," he stated.
Luna nodded, agreeing. As did Camilla herself, who nodded.
He continued. "Well then, the two of us, Camila and I, are going to wait for you near here, about ten meters away so that aura won\'t hit us again."
"Fine by me, that\'s perfect," Camila said.
She had considered everything ready, so she walked away without further ado.
"Okay, it\'s fine by me," Luna said with a somewhat unsure tone of voice.
Theos just smiled, "Don\'t feel insecure, if something happened, just yell. Camilla and I will go there. I don\'t think we can fight, but if one thing is for sure, it\'s that we can run away."
What he wanted was for Luna to calm down. By saying such soft and confident words, at least the pressure and tension she was feeling would decrease significantly.
Despite Theos\' positive words, he knew more than anyone; you had to be realistic; running away from an Expert rank is very difficult, if not nearly impossible, for her current capabilities, both her capabilities and his.
Even running away from a Peak Grand Master is too difficult. They have Camila, but she was just a few days into the Grand Master rank, she is a newcomer to the rank.
There was no need to be confident.
But fortunately, Luna calmed down as he had previously.
"It\'s okay, I got it, thank you very much", thanked Luna, approaching him to give him a tender hug.
The hug, besides being tender, was quite fast, knowing that they shouldn\'t waste time in this Forest where dangers could appear anywhere and at any time.
Theos turned around, moving away from Luna for about ten meters.
At his side, there is Camila.
Looking at Luna, she nodded, wishing her good luck.
Luna turned around, taking slow but determined steps; she approached the large hole, where you couldn\'t even see the bottom; you couldn\'t see anything, just absolute darkness.
"Well, well, well... The object in there will possibly change my life, my power; maybe I can even be on par with him, can protect my parents..." Luna murmured, motivating herself.
Her motivation is to be at Theos\' side, to be able to live more adventures with him, and, above all, her main motivation is to protect and save her parents.
She didn\'t know what else was in that hole, but if anything she saw through her shadow vision, it was an object; she didn\'t know if it was a weapon, a book, or something else.
But in the face of such a lack of information, she could only take a deep breath.
"Let\'s get it over with," she said.
Finally, she jumped into the big hole. Darkness covered her body, and her vision became obscured.
But she didn\'t panic, she went with the flow, only paying attention to the wind that constantly collided with her face.
Consequently, her hair fluttered, moving from side to side in a constant rhythm.
\'How long will I be here? Will something bad happen here? If something happens, will they save me?\', the constant questions plagued Luna\'s mind.
But she could only shake her head. Trusting Theos completely, having faith that nothing bad will happen, and lasting the shortest amount of time possible there.
