Yilu Lok and his two escorts enter the cave. The cave is large enough to fit a large mansion.
One of the escorts exclaims.
"So big this cave is about one sixth of the entire size of the crack."
They keep walking after walking a small distance and the smell of blood assaults their nose.
Yilu Lok and the other to escort's expressions become tense as they look at each other. Giving a slight nod to each other all of them unsheath their swords and continue to walk in slow pace.
At first the smell of blood was very faint but as they continued to walk the smell became unbearable. After covering their nose they continue to walk.
Soon they reach the source of the blood smell. In front of there is a large blood pool. If its size is to be estimated it is about hundred meter in diameter.
"What is this?"
Yilu Lok asks.Looking at the large blood pool one of the escorts says in surprise.
"We don't know young master, this is the first time we have seen something like this."
"Fuuuu."
Yilu Lok exhales and says.
"Let's look around the blood pool for the source of the crack and let's be careful there we might even encounter the master of this crack."
"We understand young master."
Both of the escorts began to look around the pool. The first escort starts looking on the right side of the pool. And the second escort starts looking on the left side of the pool. As for Yilu Lok he just looks at the blood pool.
At the bottom of the blood pool two crimson eyes open. They are filled with violence ready to tear apart everything as the eyes gaze outside the blood pool at Yilu Lok and two escorts, the owner of the eyes quietly start moving towards Yilu Lok and the two escorts.
Yilu Lok goes near the pool and extends his right hand. In his right hand the black bracelet vibrates toward the inside of the blood pool.
Yilu Lok wants to enter the blood pool but Yilu Lok can feel that there is something inside the blood pool, something dangerous and with his current strength he is unable to face it.
After some thinking Yilu Lok uses the power of {Casuality}. Yilu Lok's brown eyes turn into purple universes.
Yilu Lok gazes upon the blood pool.In his view he suddenly finds a black light at the bottom of the blood lake. With just a look Yilu Lok can feel that this is what the black bracelet wants.
A drop of blood tears starts to flow from Yilu Lok's eyes and he grabs his head. Using the power of {Casuality} is taking a great toll on his body. The only reason that Yilu Lok is able to withstand it is because of his special body. If it were a body of a normal man he would have died the moment he used the power of {Casuality}.
As Yilu Lok is about to deactivate the power of {Causality} he suddenly finds a red aura moving towards the right side in the direction of the first escort. Yilu Lok grits his teeth and loudly says.
"Be careful something is coming from the blood pool."
Yilu Lok falls to his knees as the power of {Casuality} deactivates.
"Huff Huff.."
Yilu Lok is breathing roughly due to the backlash of using {Casuality}.
As the voice of Yilu Lok falls into the ears of the two escorts both of them simultaneously look at the blood pool.
In the right side a large scorpion stinger suddenly appears from the blood pool and moves towards the first escort.
The first escort sensing danger uses divine flame arts and swings his sword at the upcoming stinger.
As the large stinger hits the sword the sword shatters and sends the first escort flying. Due to the force of the impact the first escort after hitting the ground rolled dozens of times before stopping.
The second escort looks at the first escort and then Yilu Lok who has fallen to his knees and is breathing roughly and says.
"Young master, what happened?"
"Huff huff.. nothing go and help him."
"But young master yo.."
"I am alright, the enemy is too strong so go and help him."
The second escort looks at Yilu Lok in worry and decides to go help the first escort.
After attacking the first escort the large stinger again disappeared inside the blood pool.
Yilu Lok stabilises his breadth and walks towards the two escorts.
"Cough. Cough. Cough."
Due to the attack from the giant stinger the first escort had grave injuries and he is coughing blood badly and soon he falls unconscious.
"How is his condition?"
After checking on the first escort the second escort says.
"Young master, he is gravely injured. The bone in his forearm is badly broken and some of his ribs also broke from the previous attack."
Yilu Lok with a Solomon voice asks.
"How strong is that demon beast to injure a first class martial artist this badly."
The second escort does not say anything for some time.
"Young master, I think the demon beast is a beast lord."
Yilu Lok looks towards the blood pool and says.
"You mean a demon beast on par with peak masters"
The second escort nods slightly.
"Didn't you gays say this is a lowest level crack so why is there a beast lord."
The second escort bangs his head hard in front of the legs of Yilu Lok. He hits his forehead so hard that blood started flowing from his head.
"Young master, please punish me. I have committed a grave sin by letting you fall into such danger."
Yilu Lok looks at the second escort kneeling at his feet with cold eyes then smiles and says.
"It's not your fault after all I was the one who suggested and entered this crack first."
"But young mast…"
Without lifting his head the second escort tries to say something but Yilu Lok stops him.
"Enough, first tend to his wounds that beast lord might appear soon."
Seeing how grave the situation is, the second escort gets up and begins to tend the wounds of the first escort.
Suddenly the surface of the blood pool stirs and a large creature emerges and reaches the surface.
The creature is a giant red scorpion whose size is close to ten meters compared to him the giant scorpions that Yilu Lok and the two escorts fought in their way now feels like kids. The giant red scorpion has crimson eyes filled with ferocity that want to rip Yilu Lok and the two escorts into pieces. But the giant red scorpion gazes at Yilu Lok as if it is wary of something which confuses Yilu Lok.
Seeing the wary giant red scorpion, something clicks in the mind of Yilu Lok.
"Hey you take him and retreat to somewhere safe."
The second escort is stunned and asks with a weak voice.
"But young master you…"
Yilu Lok unsheaths soulblade and says.
"Don't worry about me, I don't think I am going to die.
The second escort hesitates. Yilu Lok looks at him with his cold eyes. The second escort feels a deep fear from Yilu Lok's eyes the fear is even bigger than the fear of the giant scorpion.
The second escort grits his teeth and lifts the first escort in his shoulder and runs towards a safe place and says.
"Young master, please stay alive. I will go and find some help."
Yilu Lok look at the giant red scorpion and does not say anything. After the second escort reaches a distance of a few hundred meters Yilu Lok points his sword at the giant red scorpion.
"Huu it has been a long time since I felt like I am walking towards death."
Yilu Lok smiles and dashes toward the giant red scorpion.
"Screech."
The entire cave begins to tremble from the screech of the giant red scorpion.
Yilu Lok focuses all his strength in his legs and jumps at the scorpion and swings his soulblade downwards. The scorpion simply uses his left pincer to block the soulblade.
"Clang."
Both soulsword and the pincer collide and a massive shockwave destroys the ground beneath them.
"Argh!"
Yilu Lok's soulblade bounced back from the rebound of the collision Yilu Lok can feel his bones breaking.On the side of the giant red scorpion there is a tiny crack at the shell of the pincer from the soulblade.
"Screech."
The giant red scorpion screeches in anger and sweeps his tail horizontally.
"Fuck."
Yilu Lok quickly uses his soilblade to throw himself back to minimize the impact. But the impact is still very heavy he is still sent flying by the tail sweep.
As Yilu Lok is about to hit the ground In mid air he flips backwards and stabs his sword in the ground. And slides for a few metres until the force from the impact ends. A deep crack can be seen from the slide of the soulsword on the ground.
"How strong? Both of my arms are numb and I feel like my bones are going to break."
Yilu Lok looks at the giant red scorpion and activates the power of {Casuality}.
"Now it is now or never."
Yilu Lok's brown eyes turn into purple universes and the silvery blade of soulblade begins to emit a purple aura.
Yilu Lok looks at the giant red scorpion. Now he can see many purple lines on the body of the scorpion.
Yilu Lok focuses all his strength on his feet and dashes towards the scorpion.
The scorpion begins to swing his pincers at Yilu Lok.
In the eyes of Yilu Lok he can see purple strings that start from the pincer and end at Yilu Lok. Yilu Lok can instinctively feel the purple string is the trajectory of giant red scorpions attack.
"{Casuality} is based on two things, one is the cause and the other is its effect. The cause here starts from the giant red scorpion attack and the effect is the attack hits me."
Suddenly Yilu Lok feels enlightenment and enters the state of flow. Yilu Lok body which is hurting all over because of using the power of {Casuality} stops hurting.
In the state of flow Yilu Lok dodges the giant red scorpion attack by jumping in the air and then he takes a step forward and little by little starts to get closer to the giant red scorpion.
