《This world is strange》Chapter 48. Wormholes
Advertisement
After Catherine was done, she grabbed Joseph and they descended into one of the holes.
"This is kind of a labyrinth. It will take at least an hour to find those eggs."
"Did you sense any other worms, or dangerous creatures?"
"No I did not. But that doesn't mean there is nothing dangerous down here. Be on the lookout!"
Joseph made a ball of light that illuminated their surrounding. The hole had smooth walls and there were lots of side ways, but they still descended downwards.
"How far down is it?"
"We need to reach the bottom and from there we'll need to go to north. There are lots of ways that end in chambers, or just join up with an other one. If we go to the wrong way, we could get lost. Then I would need to locate the way once again."
"I see. Then I'll leave it to you."
"That's the best you can do."
It took 10 more minutes to get to the bottom of the hole. It took a sharp turn at the bottom. They followed this way for 10 more minutes then turned, went forward even more and turned again and again. It took more then 2 hours to get to a chamber. The place was huge. They couldn't see the ceiling with just the light of the ball Joseph made, so they made a few more and lit the whole chamber up. Catherine stopped in front of Joseph.
"This one is the last place before the nest. I fear there will be something here."
"Like what?"
"I can only guess that it will be something like a golem."
They illuminated the whole room, but there was nothing there.
"Why is that?"
"Because there was a blueprint for golems in the book I've found. If these are really golems, they are going to be rock golems. They are pretty sturdy, but they can get blown up really easy. Only problem is..."

She looked around. The whole place was dusty and the ceiling wasn't supported by anything. Joseph knew what she thought about.
"This whole place would just blow up."
"Yes. Let's just try to break their legs then. Also ever heard of dust explosion?"
"Right. This will be problematic."
They started to walk forward then one of the walls started to move. A part of it broke down and a big golem that was at least twice as big as them. It looked like someone put rocks on eachother. They were just moving on eachother, basically levitating on eachother. They got ready for battle in a second.
"Here it comes!"
It ran towards them, when Catherine went flying by Joseph. She shouted at Joseph.
"Behind you!"
As he turned around he saw an other golem standing there. It tried to hit him, but he was faster. He pulled out his sword.
"If I can't blow you up, then I'll use a different method."
It tried to hit him once again. He held his sword in front of him and concentrated mana in it. The sword cut it's hand in half and the two parts of it hit Joseph.
"Ugh."
He flew back and landed on the ground. His mouth got injured and blood spilt out of it. He spit on the ground and readied his sword once again. The golem's hand was in two, but it was still attached to the body. It didn't seems like the monster cared about it.
'It didn't go as I wanted. Never mind let's try this one.'
He held the sword above him as the golem started to run to him. Before it got too close he stroke downwards with the sword and let the energy out of the sword. The energy flew out of the sword in a slanted line. As it hit the golem, it got cut half and fell on the ground.

'This did not look like in the animations. It wasn't a half circle nor that big. But it was a lot more efficient.'
As he turned around he saw Catherine standing above the other one's body. He walked to her.
"Seems like these are not trouble for you neither Joseph."
"I mean. If I can cut it, I can kill it."
She laughed.
"Exactly! Let's move on!"
As they reached the middle of the room, one more golem, that was at least 3 times bigger then the ones before hit it's hand in front of them. Joseph jumped backwards.
"I know a good saying for this Catherine!"
She jumped back as well and shot a magic missile at it. It left a hole in it's chest.
"And what is it?"
"The bigger it is..."
He cut the air towards it's legs exhausting all of his mana.
"... the bigger it falls!"
One of it's leg was cut in half, but it did not fall.
"Oh! Come on! That was perfect!"
They dodged one more attack and Catherine made at least a hundred of magical arrows. All of them went for it's legs. As they hit it the golem fell forward towards them.
They started to run and just barely dodged it. It was stil moving and hiting the ground around it. So Catherine blasted it's head with even more shots until it stopped.
"They are pretty weak."
Joseph was sweating and laughed at her.
"No! They are pretty sturdy. It is just that you are strong."
She smiled at him.
"That is also true!"
They walked out of the chamber into the next one. As they lit it up in light they saw hundreds of eggs around the place.
"This does not look good!"
