Chapter 242 242- Mystic Dessert (Part 2)

"She must\'ve found this when she was searching around. Because of the sudden appearance of the hole, the sand around it was swallowed with ease." Kai explained as he looked around them.

Tons and tons of sand were being dragged into the hole and swallowed mercilessly. The two were feeling the power of the sand trying to drag them along with it but they were able to hold their ground with ease considering their monstrous strength.

While looking at the bottom with a confused expression, Kaya created a small pebble in her hand before she threw it into the hole and listened. However, seconds passed quickly and there was no sound of the pebble hitting the bottom of the hole.

"We need to follow her," Kaya said.

"Hmm, wait a second," Kai replied before he suddenly channeled his Origin and quickly created a rocky wall around the hole. The form of the wall was oddly similar to the rocky formations around them which made it appear seamless for the untrained eye.

"We can\'t let anyone discover this place so we\'re gonna hide it." He said as he created an opening in the wall they could pass through to the hole.

"Good idea." 

After that, the two entered the wall and closed the only route inside. Immediately, the darkness of the interior swallowed them hole. So, Kaya created a blob of light in her hand.

"This hole really looks terrifying. I don\'t like it at all." She said.

"We have no other choice. Stay close from." Kai said as he grabbed Kaya by the waist. The latter blushed slightly before she nodded her head and grabbed his shoulder too.

"In 3… 1… 2… 3…" Kai counted before he quickly jumped into the hole with Kaya. In a matter of seconds, they fell deep into the darkness and became invisible from the top.

Kaya held on to the light ball so that it could illuminate their surroundings while Kai kept his senses alerted for any possible traces of Aria. The strong wind hit their faces mercilessly and the gravity pulled at their bodies faster and faster.

Seconds passed slowly and then those seconds turned into minutes as the two realized more and more that they weren\'t jumping into a normal hole. This place was going with them way deeper than any human had ever been before.

Minutes of falling turned into tens of minutes rather quickly.

"Kai! Where the hell are we going now?!" Kaya asked with a loud voice that penetrated the howling of the wind.

"I don\'t know! But, use your Origin to protect yourself now!"

"Ok!"

As the two fell more and more into the hole, the temperature of the place started growing hotter and hotter at a rapid pace. Since they were getting closer and closer to the deeper layers of the earth, the temperatures were bound to rise to a degree that could disintegrate someone in a matter of moments.

Because of their strength and the resilience of their bodies, they can handle way more than the normal human body could but they weren\'t completely immune to heat as Kai was sure that if they were to face the center of the earth, they were bound to die sooner or later.

\'Where does this end?\'

By the time they reached the 1-hour mark, their bodies were starting to sweat lightly as the waves of hot air hit their faces. To make sure Kaya didn\'t feel the heat, Kai surrounded them with ice.

"Thanks, my love." She said.

Kai nodded his head before he turned around and looked at the walls of the hole. They were weirdly made out of slick, polished stone that shone under the light of Kaya\'s light bulb. That meant that these walls weren\'t a natural formation of the earth but actually human-made.

\'How did they create a hole this deep…\' Kai thought to himself with a frown.

"What a magnificent place. This is definitely something created by the Progenitor." Kaya whispered as she looked around her. "I wonder how it was even possible to make this and how much time it took."

"This is new to me too. But, if I have to guess, it wasn\'t made simply with pure strength." Kai replied.

"Hm? What do you mean?"

"I mean that this isn\'t the creation of mere human power. It\'s something far more mysterious."

No matter how powerful the progenitor was, this hole wasn\'t something a human was supposed to be able to create. Even Kai knew that he wouldn\'t be able to dig this deep into the earth even if he wanted to.

That put into perspective how ridiculously powerful the progenitor was. Perhaps he was way stronger than even Kai gave him credit for.

\'Is he even human at this point?\'

Another possibility was the progenitor wasn\'t even a human to begin with. Origin was discovered thousands of years ago by that man so it could be a very high possibility that the Progenitor is someone who came from the other mysterious world that the spider queen talked about. That would explain his discoveries and endless strength. After all, only a monster can create monstrous things like a hole that takes hours to reach its bottom.

The two continued to descend into the hole at extremely high speeds. Kai kept creating more and more ice balls around them when they melted. The cold air of the ice helped relieve them from the heat. Still, that wasn\'t a perfect solution that would last very long.

"Fuuh, this is really getting pretty hot," Kaya murmured with a frown. One more problem that came with this hole\'s depth was the lack of air in this place.

Even Kai started feeling the suffocation that came with the depletion of oxygen around them. It was harder to breathe and by default, harder to focus.

The two were starting to get worried about the depth of this hole and even more so about Aria since she fell alone into this place. Without prior warning, she could end up in a very dire situation.

Kai felt a tug on his chest just imagining what could be waiting at the bottom of this place. Perhaps he would end up finding the dead corpse of Aria…

\'No. She\'s not dead.\' He thought to himself as he shook those thoughts away.

As the two were like that, suddenly, out of nowhere, the end of the pit appeared in their vision.

Without any time to waste, Kaya used her Origin to form a fluffy ball of feathers beneath them.

"Get ready for the impact!" She yelled.

*BOOM*

When they hit the ground, the feathers absorbed most of the impact, leaving a small amount of it intact.

"Pfft, I should\'ve not chosen feathers!" Kaya murmured as she spat out a few feathers that got stuck in her mouth.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I\'m fine. We landed safely."

With a simple move of her hand, the ball of feathers vanished and the two landed on their feet. Looking around them, they found themselves standing on top of piles of sand that created a mountain. From the top sand was still descending into the hole but not as much as before since Kai had closed the place with rocks, isolating it from the outside world completely.

"Aria! Are you here?!" Kaya yelled but no response came back. "Could she be buried under the sand?!"

"No, relax. I can sense her presence now." Kai said as he shook his head with a sigh.

"You do?"

"Yes, it\'s slightly far away from here but it\'s there." He replied. He didn\'t know why he felt rather relieved that Aria was still alive. Was he simply imagining things since he didn\'t want her to die yet? Or maybe it was something else… Kai didn\'t know and he frankly didn\'t want to know as the last thing he would ever want to realize was that he still didn\'t completely hate Aria.

"Uh, where did she go?"

"From there." Kai pointed in a certain direction. However, the sand had already closed all possible routes around them, leaving only the walls of the hole, standing tall.

"I guess we need to dig then?" Kaya sighed.

"Yes."

Approaching the edge, Kai crouched down and dug his arm into the sand before he tried to look for any possible holes stuck under the sand. However, he couldn\'t feel or find anything.

"Tsk, it\'s too deep. We will need to push a huge amount of sand to be able to get to the actual route." He murmured.

"Well, this would take ages, no?" 

"Yes… But, not if I do this."

With a snap of his finger, Kai created 50 clones of him.

Kaya looked around with surprise before she smiled. "More Kais means easier work, hehehe."
