Chapter 21 - Atal, The First Floor Of Underworld

[You have entered 'Atal', the first floor of Underworld]

Shiva along with Kapali arrived at a desolate land, there was no sun in the sky but there was no shortage of light, the sky itself illuminated the whole place with dark blue luster.

There were no trees for as long as his eyes could see, it was akin to a desert without sand. shiva asked Kapli as he looked around,

"Kapali, Tell me what you know about Atal"

information is vital for anything, doing things while knowing what the place was, and mindlessly wandering about are two different things.

As such Kapali or previously known as The Eternal Golem, was a High ranker, that to an exitance capable of fighting against two legends, Shiva still doesn't have any idea of what or how powerful were the legends, but the information Kapali has was definitely better than what anyone can provide to him at the moment.

"My Lord, Atal is the first floor of underground ruled by a great demon, BALA, the son of one of the seven Archdemons, Maya who rule Mahatal."

He stopped a movement to let him process the information and continued afterward,

"The underworld is basically inhabited by, Demons and Nagas. though some other minor races also reside here, all the seven floors except for Patal is ruled by either the Demons or the Nagas"

" Atal is the only interactive part of underworld since if anybody wants to move further they have to challenge the Guardians guarding the floor. Atal is not as dangerous as the other floors but it will be a different story for you master since you haven't even climbed the first floor of the Tower"

Shiva looked at him as continued his questions,

"Kapali, Which is the place Known as Bramhalok?"

suddenly kapali stopped in his tracks and looked at Shiva and said in a serious tone,

"Master, I don't know why you are asking me this but please stay away from them as much as possible, even in my previous life, Bramhalok wasn't an existence I could touch"

Shiva was surprised to hear this but he regained his calm as he said,

"I wish I could, but it seems the fate has different things in store for me"

Saying so he continued his walk towards the unknown destination in the desolate land,

Kapali while watching his Master's back swore silently to stand in front of him at all times, at any difficulties to come.

****

Same time at Patal,

a massive serpent was coiled around the neck of an enormous statue of a man, Numerous Nagas appeared out of nowhere in front of the statue and kneeled as there said,

"I am sorry to disturb your slumber my lord, but I have an important message"

the massive serpent which coiled around the state's neck slowly opened its eyes, Its eyes had thin, black, vertical pupils surrounded by a yellow-green eyeball with pitch-black darkness surrounding them, seeing them was akin to glimpsing at the abyss.

''SPEAK''

A voice which seemed to pierce the receiver's ear resounded in a dark dimension, but the Naga in front of the serpent stood without any reaction as he said,

"An entity which is neither dead nor alive has appeared in the realm master, Though it hasn't done anything to harm anyone. It neither is moving nor breathing, and it just seems just like a corpse from outside"

"I see"

the Serpent closed his eyes again as he ordered,

"Bring his body to my lord's feet, seems like we will be getting a visitor in a long time"

"As you command"

saying so the Naga disappeared.

He closed his status window while remembering about how he couldn't even fight the blurry man who attacked him with the sword, he was frustrated knowing that he couldn't fight back even though he had a weapon and needed stats, even if couldn't win, he surely could have retaliated better, he knew he wasn't going to survive much longer like this on the tower so he asked kapali,

"Kapali, Teach me how to fight"

"Master?"

"I know I very weak now, probably weaker than these dumb skeletons standing here, but I don't want to stay like this, I want to climb higher, I want to go further. so Kapali Teach me how to fight, Teach me how to survive"

Kapali was moved, he knew that his lord was weak and was thinking of bringing it to his notice, he was worried about him, even though he swore to protect him he knew he couldn't always be beside him and protect him, He wanted to teach him the best way to make use of his skills and to make sure he was capable of defending himself, but here his Master was directly asking him to teach him, he was worried that his master would take the thing differently if he were to say it directly but seems like he was mistaken.

'There is still much to understand about you, my lord'

he thought inwardly as he said,

"Your wish is my command, My lord"

"Then let us start right away, and you skellies, don't slack off and go grind for levels"

And thus started the training of the Crazy man with his First servant and also due to the hard work of his 24 skellies, the exp continuously pored inn as he gained levels like crazy...
