Chapter 50 Ruined City

Nathan continued to follow the unknown force and swim deeper in the water.

As he swims, Nathan can't help but be surprised with the size of this pond.

'I did not see it when I was on land, but now that I'm in the water myself, I can now see that this pond is very huge!' Nathan exclaimed in his mind.

As he keeps going deeper in the water, the pressure that he's feeling becomes stronger and stronger.

But because of his body's ability, this is just a piece of cake for him.

Also, staying in the water for a long time is no problem for him since with the improvement of his body, his lungs now also have more oxygen capacity than before.

So even without breathing for a long time, Nathan won't be out of breath in a short amount of time.

After swimming deeper for a few more minutes, Nathan suddenly found an opening on the side wall.

'Hmm? An underwater cave?'

Feeling that the unknown force is coming from inside that cave, Nathan swam towards it and stopped just right outside of the entrance.

From there, you can see nothing but the frightening darkness that even seems to swallow light itself.

Nathan tried to peek inside the cave but it was to no avail.

'I can't see anything in there. I hope there's nothing dangerous that will suddenly pop up out of nowhere.'

Nathan honestly felt a little scared at this moment.

But he steeled himself and still chose to enter and follow the pull.

He doesn't know why, but Nathan felt like doing so will not bring him any harm.

Hanging on to that, he made a choice.

So with firm eyes full of resolve, Nathan maintained his composure and took his first step into the darkness.

As he walked forward, Nathan did not forget to stay vigilant on his surroundings.

He moved while trying his best to see his surroundings.

Walking in this darkness filled cave is a very frightening experience.

Luckily, it seems like the inside of the cave just leads to a straight path, that's why he doesn't have to worry about getting lost.

Soon, Nathan finally saw light in front of him.

He happily thought, 'Phew~ I thought I'll go insane with only darkness everywhere as the eyes can see around me.'

Speeding up his pace and shortly after, he arrived at the end of the dark path.

He continued forward without hesitation, when suddenly–

*Splash!*

*Boom!*

"Ouch!"

Nathan suddenly fell down to the ground!

Confused by the sudden turn of events, Nathan scanned his surroundings.

He noticed that, for some reason, the water around him disappeared!

"Ugh… What happened?"

Getting up, Nathan turned around and was shocked!

A wall of water was formed in the direction he came from!

Looking at it carefully, Nathan saw that the water seemed like it was being blocked by something from proceeding further.

It was like water inside an aquarium at this moment.

"What's blocking it though?" confused, Nathan started to wonder.

He was pretty sure that there was nothing in there since he was even able to pass through it.

Staring at it in wonder for a while, Nathan once again felt the pull from the unknown force that has become stronger again.

Because of that, Nathan stopped paying attention to the wall of water.

He was about to continue his journey but just as he took a few steps he froze.

Then he slowly raised his head and looked in front of him with wide eyes.

"Whoa…" exclaimed Nathan while looking at what welcomed him after leaving the darkness.

At the end of the straight path, what Nathan saw was a blue sky.

Yes, a blue sky with a bright sun giving light to everything below it!

And under that said sky is what seems to be a city!

There is a city under the pond!

"What the hell is all this?"

The city in front of him is not like the usual modern day city nowadays. It's more like a city from the medieval period.

Unfortunately, most of the buildings in this underground city have now become ruined after years of neglect.

But there are still a few that managed to survive to this day and age.

Just like that gigantic tower that even though so far away, Nathan can still see it from where he is standing.

"What an amazing tower that is." Nathan let out a sigh of amazement after seeing it.

No one would have expected that such a tower with that size is here, under the ground.

After standing still for several minutes, just taking in all these amazing sights, Nathan continues to follow the pull.

While doing so, he carefully looked at the infrastructure along the way in fascination.

"Everything here looks like it's been from about a century ago…"

After looking for a while, Nathan shook his head and sped up his walking.

A few minutes later, Nathan arrived in front of the biggest building located at the center of this ruined city, the tower.

Inside the tower, Nathan saw that the walls in here are covered by some sort of writing that Nathan can't understand.

"I wonder what language this is. I might not be able to speak in other languages aside from Filipino and English, but I still know the usual lettering of other languages.

"And this writing... It's the first time I saw this kind of writing." He curiously muttered.

The more Nathan sees in this city, the more curious he becomes.

Ignoring everything else, Nathan walked further into the tower.

After a while, Nathan arrived in a spacious room with nothing besides an altar at the center of it.

"Is that the thing that's been pulling me here all this time?" Said Nathan, raising his eyebrow as he looked above the altar.

On top of the altar is a chest embroidered with gold. It was covered by the same writing as the one that Nathan saw on the walls of the tower.

"That looks like a chest that people will store their most valuable things on. I wonder what's inside it."
