《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 210: Inside the Volcano part 2

“What do we do?” Everyone looks frightened. Antoine grabs his sister’s hands; “We need to move…we must escape…”
“Wait, but it can be a trap…” Angel looks worried, Antoine has a frightened expression; “I know, but if we stay here…we will also die…”
Dr. Escobar walks next to him; “I agree…everyone, we must be cautious…we don’t know where we are exactly, and we might be out of time…Antoine, you will guide us…Angel, Crespo, check the rear…”
Everyone nods in agreement. Angel takes a deep breath; “The wind blows east…that means there is an exit nearby…”
The group decides to move slowly, following a trail. “Hey guys…are you all wizards?” Stefan makes a random question. Antoine looks at him; “Don’t say stupid things…can’t you see the situation that we’re in right now?”
“I know that…but you think I’m stupid or something? I saw the techniques that you did when that skeleton attacked us…Antoine, you used fire and Ana used earth…” Stefan makes everyone stop. Dr. Escobar notices everyone looking nervous and sighs:
“I understand now…you are all part of the Mage's Association, am I right?”
“Wait, you knew?” Madeleine looks at her with surprise. Dr. Escobar nods in agreement. “SO YOU WIZARDS! THAT’S SO AWESOME!” Stefan jumps with excitement.
“You got it wrong, we are mages…not wizards…this is not Harry Potter…” Antoine replies as he looks at Stefan. “Antoine, why did you tell him?” Marinette exclaims. Antoine sighs with his eyes closed; “Look, we are in a dangerous situation right now…we can’t be fighting among ourselves and we can’t hide it anymore…from what I can sense, we are about to face great dangers…”
Crespo walks next to Stefan and grabs him from his shirt neck; “Now listen up…whatever you do…don’t go screaming what you will see okay…if you do, I will break every bone on your body got it…”
Stefan nods nervously. Crespo looks at Dr. Escobar; “Teacher, how do you know about the Mage's Association?”
“I am an old woman, and I have traveled to Europe…I encountered some mages there a long time ago…but to be honest, I am not interested in studying mages…so I decided to ignore it…but right now, we must focus on escaping…”
“Okay everyone, get closer, I’m going to get us out of here in an instant…” Crespo closes his eyes, everyone gets together. Crespo puts one knee down and his hand on the floor as he focuses; “En la libertad tu estas presente, ha llevarme a donde os mi elección; Transport de vent” (In freedom you are present, you have taken me where you are my choice; Wind transportation) Massive wind gathers beneath everyone’s feet. -GYYAHHH- The girls panic as the wind lifts up their skirts; “This is so indecent!” Madeleine exclaims with Marinette nodding. Dr. Escobar also holds her skirt as she looks with surprise.

Angel gives a thumbs up to Crespo. This creates a whirlpool that elevates everyone; “Now then, let’s go…” The wind whirlpool moves forward at high speed. El Muerto appears from the shadows as he chuckles; “Let the experiment begin…”
After a few minutes, the group traveled around the cave but couldn't find an exit…little did they know that they were slowly surrounded by purple smoke…
“I don’t feel so good, frère (brother)…my head hurts…” Madeleine sits down. Marinette notices her sister swearing; “Chère sœur (Dear sister), you’re burning up…are you feeling…” Marinette also falls into her knees. Crespo stops advancing as he looks at Antoine; “This is strange, it feels as if we have been traveling in circles…” Crespo undoes his technique as he breathes heavily; “I feel as if I drained all of my mana…but this technique doesn’t require all…”
Angel feels weak as well; “I feel weak…what is happening? It’s as if…I used all of my mana…”
(PPUUMMM)
Stefan and Dr. Escobar fell unconscious. Antoine notices his sisters also losing consciousness; “What is going on?” Antoine opens his eyes wider; “I see it…we are surrounded by some strange fog…”
Crespo and Angel both see it as well. Crespo punches the ground; “When did this happen?”
“It must have been that man’s intention all along…”
(CLAP CLAP CLAP)
“So you notice, good for you…” El Muerto walks towards them; “You were part of an experiment that feature our specialty gas that drains mana…as I see now, it will drain mana immediately to those who don’t use it and for guys…I’d say 60%...”
“Damn you…” Angel falls to his knees.“It took you 15 minutes to discover it…not bad…did you notice that you were going in circles?”
“Circles?” Crespo opens his eyes wider. -SNAP- El Muerto snaps his fingers and creates a portal; “That’s correct, you’ve been passing through the portal all this time…the exit is over here…”
El Muerto points behind them, the guys see an exit guarded by a giant golem. “It can’t be…we were that close?”
“I don’t blame you, this gas also affects your 5 senses…now then, how will you defend yourselves against this…”
El Muerto slowly disappears in the portal.-RRRAAAWWW- The giant golem heads toward them.
The golem is 7 feet tall with a muscular body, huge muscles. The face is similar to a lion with glowing yellow eyes.
“Angel…now…” Crespo and Angel lift their hand and gather wind; “Corrent de vent” (Wind Current) Both of them create a giant wind current dispersing the gas. Antoine heads towards the golem; “I don’t have enough mana, but if I can just distract that thing…” Antoine gathers mana in his hand and creates flames; “Take this; Bombes à balles incendiaires” (Flame Bullet Bombs)

(PUM PUM PUM)
Antoine makes a pistol form from his hand and fires multiple flame bullets towards the Golem. After firing multiple times, Antoine falls into his knees; “I am almost out of mana…merde!” (Damn it)
“ANTOINE…LOOK OUT!” Crespo screams, Antoine lifts his head and sees the golem straight at him. -PPUUMM- The golem punches Antoine and sends him towards the wall. Antoine falls about to lose consciousness. “ANTOINE!” Angel creates a wind sword and attacks the golem. -SSSLLAASSHHH- Angel tries to cut the golem but it has no effect.
Crespo attacks the Golem from behind, gathering wind in the palm of his hand and attacking the Golem. -PPUUMM- The golem blocks the attack with ease. “Maldicion, I don’t have enough…” The golem interrupts Crespo and grabs him by the neck. The Golem grabs Angel by the neck as well.
“AAHHHH” The Golem starts to choke both of them, Angel begins to lose consciousness; “It can’t be, we are going to die here? I am so weak…” Tears come out of Crespo as he also feels the same way.
“ANGEL…CRESPO…” Antoine stretches his hand; “If only I was…stronger…”
(STEP STEP STEP)
At that moment, they hear footsteps approaching them; “Sheesh, you guys are such weakling…I, Alexa, am really bored of your show…” Alexa goes towards their direction, the Golem notices her and lets the guys go.
(RRRAAAWW)
The Golem heads towards Alexa. -RRRIIINNNGGG- “Ohh, I got more followers…great…” Alexa looks at her phone without care.
“The monster is going to kill her..” Antoine tries to move, Angel and Crespo look at the golem approaching. -PPPUUUMMM- “You’re bothering me…” Suddenly, a force pushes the golem to the wall without her letting go of her phone.
The guys are in awe upon seeing the attack. Alexa sighs and put her phone away; “I guess, I have no choice…you made me angry.” Alexa looks at the golem. She lifts her hand and shows her ring, her ring is the same as Uriel’s however, she has a blue gem. Alexa closes her eyes and chants:
“Mi vida es la melodía del Mariachi, el arte es mi sangre, la tradición es mi alma, el honor es mi misión. Cancion Del Charro” (My life is a Mariachi Melody, art is my blood, tradition is my soul and honor is my mission. Charro Song)
Blue flames come out of Alexa’s ring changing her into a female version of the Mariachi attire:
The suit consists of a long embroidered black skirt, reaching the ankles, a white dress shirt, chaps, serape and a red pitea belt. Her hair is a ponytail with a red ribbon; she has a long tuft on the right side of her face, and she wears a Mariachi Sombrero. She also wears the traditional black charro jacket embroidered with flower patterns. On her hip, she has a sword with blue gloves.
(BBBAAADDUUUMMMPPP)
“This mana…it’s enormous…” Crespo opens his eyes wider upon feeling the enormous mana. Alexa takes out her sword and makes a stance; Her sword is a cutlass. A short, broad slashing sword, with a straight or slightly curved blade sharpened on the cutting edge, and a hilt often featuring a solid cupped guard.
The golem attacks once again; “Arte del Mariachi: Melodía de la Guitarra-Primera Cuerda: Mi ( E )” (Mariachi Art: Guitar Melody- First String: Mi (E))
Alexa swings her sword; the air begins to move as manna becomes visible in the form of strings cutting the Golem into multiple pieces destroying its heart in an instant.
The guys look at her in shock; “She killed the monster in an instant…who is she?”
Alexa takes out her phone and continues to walk. Antoine lifts his body; “Thank you for helping us…”
“Helping you? Don’t make me laugh, you imbecile…” Alexa continues to walk; “I don’t help weaklings…”
“You didn’t have to destroy my golem…” El Muerto walks towards her. Alexa continues looking at her phone; “Well, that thing attacked me…make sure you have those things tamed…”
“Right…my master did mention that you were coming…I apologize if that troubled you…”
“I don’t care…just a warning, Uriel and his gang will probably be coming…”
“I know, I was expecting that…”
“Excellent, just one request…leave Uriel to me…” Alexa makes a sinister smile as she releases mana. Alexa continues looking at her phone as she walks away. El Muerto approaches Antoine, who is slowly closing his eyes:
“I told you…escaping is impossible…”

She used to be a bright child. She was just not fortunate enough to have a normal life. Ill and bed-ridden, she slowly lost affect and cut herself off from outer reality, as her only joy was to construct a complex fantasy world. And eventually, she met her demise. Nevertheless, her story did not end here. Who is to say that Death is our last path? For her, it was just the beginning. She had been given a second chance. Reborn as a Goddess in the very own world that she created, it was now only up to her to write her own story. ‘This time, let’s try to live normally.’ Warning: Slow Character Development, Frequent Hiatus About the releases: Do not expect regular releases. I can no longer stick to a specific release schedule, so the chapters will be released once the entire arc is done, which implies long hiatus periods between arcs. About the tags: Although there are game elements, there are absolutely not the focus of the story so this isn't exactly a LitRPG.

Out of hiatus, but with a hitch. . Read most recent "chapter", Status Update, for more info. Trapped for thousands of years. Betrayed by the ones he held dear, the ones he called family. Finally set free by happenstance, Amrin sets out to find the ones that locked him in the heart of a mountain. Find the answers he's been asking himself while conscious within the darkness. The world has changed in his time away. Learning new things, meeting new people, struggling with questions he may never get the answers to. He will journey through this new world and search for the "family" that betrayed him and figure out why they did it. If they did not have the answers he was looking for, there would be consequences. *This is a VERY HEAVY story driven fiction (read: can be slow!). There are some sections of action, drama and soon/eventually, mature related content (sexuality and gore). There are going to be sections with lots of text and little dialogue. There's going to be sections with lots of dialogue and little descriptive narration. ***Word of warning and advice. To save yourself the potential disappointment! The MC is mostly a pacifist! If you're looking for a super OP protagonist that uses his powers to get what he wants and to hell with the consequences, this story IS NOT for you. There are times when it should be obvious why, other's it's only implied. Either way, if you are expecting "shoot first ask questions later" mentality from the MC, regardless of how powerful he is, save yourself the disappointment and look elsewhere. I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to all the readers and commenters of my story. It's all the positive feedback and comments that really give me the motivation to keep going. Honestly. It sounds cheesy, but it's true. So, again. Thank you!
