Versatile: Alternate World

1008  To Agartha

Almira is quite serious with her expression and I can feel the pressure she was releasing while she was just there sitting in front of me. Perhaps because I needed to learn the weight of my mission this time around or maybe just to make sure I am intimidated by it. But I am more inclined to lean to the former reason instead of the latter, knowing Almira and how she does her things.

"Only me? No one else?" I frowned.

"If you count your followers then they can be with you. However, for us, we are only stuck here until your task is over. We are not worthy enough to reach the place you are heading in."

"So which place is it that you guys are saying that I can find the item that can help the others get their lives back?"

"Remember the place under the lake where we couldn't enter it? If I remember correctly, it was the place called Agartha. That place is where you will find what you are looking for. It is one of the forbidden treasures that shouldn't be obtained by humans due to how dangerous it will be if it is handed to the wrong people," Almira revealed.

I wasn't expecting to hear the location of my destination. After all, no one would believe that my original destination to get the two weapons that are needed to completely slay the Goddess of Life is also inside the Agartha. Isn't that too much of a coincidence?

"Can you describe what this item is?" I asked.

"That is the big problem. Because I don't know. The only thing I know is that it does exist in Agartha and it cannot be taken out without knowing its consequence. You will have to know it by yourself once you get there," Almira explained.

"That is going to be vague as f*ck, Almira, and finding it before everything will be back to the Goddess of Life attacking again is not a good deadline."

"I know but what choice do you even have, Manato? We can't afford to waste any time and we can't delay the repair power of the Tree of Life with a little prayer at all. So all you can do is find it and return here as soon as you can before she prevents you from resurrecting anyone."

"F*ck...then I can't afford to remain idle here. I needed to go and find them as soon as possible."

I pull out a waypoint for me to use for later and drop it on the floor near the waypoints we use to teleport to and from the Dark Sea. Since that place has already got a Teleport waypoint installed, I can go back there anytime.

Mother hugged me without saying a word. She just quietly saw me off. Queen Tanya and I fistbump together. She didn't say anything as well but I can already see she is also sending me with best regards. Izmir didn't say anything, but she only made a light nod at me as I went while Almira didn't do anything but stay where she was sitting and just waited there.

"Wow, and to think I would be expecting this place to be teeming with futuristic people with cybernetics and android bodies...guess I was expecting too much."

As I slowly walked and explored place to place in the streets, I suddenly heard noises not too far from my direction. It was sudden and noisy and I knew that I was not alone out here.

I instinctively grab my Devourer and ready as I can hear the noises coming close. The enemy is not being subtle about its presence and is more trying to make its presence known. But that changes things as I like my enemies to show themselves rather than go and ambush as I am not a big fan of those kinds of stuff.

It didn't take long for the enemy to launch its attack, jumping straight into my direction.

BANG!

THUNK

A single bullet penetrated the body of whatever attacked me, causing it to get hit by the impact of the bullet. It was killed instantly though it is already an expected outcome from the Pain Delivery.

As soon as I confirmed the kill, I checked into the enemy that tried to attack. I was expecting it to be a wild animal or something but it wasn't an animal, nor it was a living monster that I have seen in the surface either. No, it wasn't a hybrid or golem either...

It's a f*cking robot. I kicked it and it produced a metallic sound.

Yep, this thing is a fricking robot indeed. The body itself is all metal and all of its body parts are made of various parts that would come from junk and garbage. It is a literal walking junk robot.

"That was something..." I frowned as I checked the dead chunk of robot "flesh" that was now sprawling on the ground.

"Wielder. I can feel more in the surroundings. Don't let your guard down, alright," the shadow dragon warned me.

"Yes. Didn't expect to see them but I guess if it is a futuristic place like this, I guess I have to expect enemies like this one."

As I get myself ready, it seems the local inhabitants in the area are not so happy about my arrival.
