Spirit Guardian Summoning

Rainer and Alisha walked through the cave for a few hours but there was nothing around!

"Why would they build such a cave system for nothing?" Rainer thought while leaning on the wall, after having broken several bones and walked for hours, his endurance was at its limit.

"..."

Alisha sat next to Rainer and hugged her legs.

"Do you have any idea how to get out of here?"Asked Rainer

"...!"

As Rainer and Alisha talked, Lerna appeared from the path in front of them.

...

"You are saying that there is something strange further on... Let's see it then!" Said Rainer as he got up.

Lerna, who advanced alone to explore the path, returned to Rainer's Astral Gate after reporting her findings.

As Rainer and Alisha followed the path, Alisha called him.

"...Rainer."

"Mmm? What's up, Alisha?"

"I'm sorry for being a burden...since we've known each other, you've done nothing but save me from the danger one after the other..." She said as she squeezed her soft, slender hands turning them reddish.

"..."

"You may never have noticed it, Alisha, but you also saved me... you know about my position in the clan, if it wasn't for your support then I would not be here today..."Said Rainer as he scratched his cheek.

"I appreciate everything you've done for me, Alisha."

"Rainer...!"Alisha's words were silenced by the roar of a beast!

Rooooaar!!!

Trembling...

The whole cave system was shaking due to the roar!

"This is going to collapse! We have to find a way out now!" Said Rainer as he held Alisha's hand and ran at full speed.

Boom!

Every time a rock from the roof fell in the face of tremors or a tunnel collapsed, Rainer's heart squeezed so tightly that he felt it was going to explode!

"Ra-Rainer!" Shouted Alisha.

"Not now, Alisha!"

"The way out is there!" Shouted Alisha as she pointed to a wall of several in the cave.

"I believe in you..." Said Rainer as he carried Alisha like a princess and squeezed every drop of his endurance in running.

"..."

Behind them, all the tunnels collapsed like domino pieces.

"Aaaaaaaagghh!"Rainer shouted as he threw themselves against the wall that Alisha pointed out earlier.

Boom!

A cloud of dust and a mountain of rocks covered 'the wall' and blocked any chance of going back that path.

"That was close... " Sighed Rainer.

"Can you let me go now, Rainer?" Said Alisha as she looked at Rainer's hand, he was grabbing her tail all this time.

"Oh, I'm sorry...but it was very soft..." Said Rainer as he squeezed and closed his hand, that softness was like a top-quality pillow....

"Stupid, the tail is sacred to beastmen! You can't just touch a girl's tail!" Alisha shouted as she hid her tail.

"You can't touch other girls' tails, you get it, don't you?" Alisha shouted as she looked away.

"..."

"Ahem..."

A cough coming after them brought them back to reality.

"Oh, Liann this is..." Rainer felt like a teenager whose parents found his pornographic material on the hard drive.

"..."

Alisha's eyes were spinning, if it continued like this, her brain would boil from shame!

"You're the only ones who could flirt in a situation like this..."Said Liann as she looked at them in anger.

"His Highness is very popular with the opposing gender, I recall when serving Demon King Veritas, a different girl came into his room every night... that was a real..." Xarcas' words were silenced by Liann's blow.

Smack!

The little ape' s body was thrown against the wall, surprisingly, he went through it!

"...?"

Everyone except Alisha had perplexed expressions on their faces, it was then when she spoke about her findings.

"All this cave is covered with powerful illusions! I am not able to break them, but I can feel them being there." Alisha said as she approached the wall that Xarcas went through and crossed it!

"That's why we were going around in circles..." Liann muttered as she rested her chin on her hand.

Although demonic eyes were able to see far beyond any person, if you were weaker than the one who cast that illusion, you would be unable to see through it even with your demonic eyes!

"It means that we are facing an unparalleled existence... " Whispered Liann as she advanced through the illusionary wall.

"..."

Rainer had listened Liann, he hoped that this unparalleled existence was the beastmen hero and they could argue with him...
