The Craftsman 207 The Gaunt Figure

With a calm heart Daedalus continued on his journey, having enjoyed the previous battle against Bokuden.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

It had been a month since Daedalus fought Bokuden, and sadly he couldn't say he found any worthy opponents. Currently from within a ravine Daedalus could be seen fighting off against an array of large monstrous beasts. He had found this place in the early morning and had been fighting since then, and as it was now nearing midnight he had clearly been fighting for a while.

At first he thought that the place was interesting however one of his instincts as a dragon told him that it would be a good idea to go in. So that's what he did, and after a few days of non stop fighting Daedalus arrived at the entrance. It was a large hollow archway, behind it where deep black shadows that somehow made Daedalus feel apprehensive, and a large number of paths with varying widths.

Without even a thought of hesitation Daedalus walked forward, although carefully, into the dark archway. As it was night time Daedalus willed for a fireball to be formed he, however didn't throw it but, used it as a torch.

Continuing forward a few steps Daedalus came to a sudden realisation of why he had a bad feeling when he saw those shadows. Women. Shackles women could be seen lining the wall, all of them had desolate looks in their eyes.

Daedalus felt disgusted and activated his karma sight technique. As this happened he almost vomited having to cover his mouth with his hands. Every single woman had a quickly dulling golden karmic aura, but that wasn't what almost made Daedalus puke. A dark baleful aura was covering the entire cavern.

After quickly stopping his technique Daedalus activated his soul sight, this would allow him to see what the evil person was like. With that done Daedalus began to make his way towards the far side of the cavern. When he reached it Daedalus saw that there was a door place into a badly carved hole in the wall.

Before he even reached the door however, it opened revealing a gaunt and eerie figure. Daedalus quickly prepared himself as the figure spoke "To think someone could get pa.s.sed my guard dogs. You can die now." All of this was said in an uninterested tone and without betraying any emotion.

As the gaunt figure finished speaking he stretched out his finger, releasing a putrid black, grey and brownish green fog. Daedalus immediately felt danger from this fog and launched himself backwards only to be met with a fleshy blockade. Looking up Daedalus had just enough time to see a dragon like figure, before having to dodge a ghastly black fire coming from its mouth.

As this happened the gaunt figure appeared before him again. That's when Daedalus noticed he was surrounded by the previous fog. At that very moment Daedalus began to feel a strange pounding in his chest, and a second later he realised he was grinning.
