Capítulo 14: Prophesied Mates (7)
Yunho's eyes met Chantal's, his gaze seeking answers amidst the chaotic scene. The air was thick with tension as he urgently inquired, "Can you discern the intricate flow of energy coursing through its body? Pinpoint its origin, and I'll work on transporting us to a safer location."
Chantal, her eyes veiled in concentration, took a moment to center herself before responding, "One, two, three. Channel opening!" Her mental powers extended, creating a web that enveloped their surroundings. Within this wavelength blanket, she discovered thousands of threads of energy and mana.
"The mutant plant is more complicated than we thought, Yunyun. Instead of conventional roots burrowed beneath the soil, its body is entwined with these thorny stems. My intuition suggests that the main body is the energy source, and these airborne tendrils serve as its unconventional roots."
As Chantal delved deeper into her psychic exploration, Yunho probed further. "Can you discern the quantity of mana housed within each of its monstrous heads?"
"Upon closer examination," Chantal began, her voice carrying the weight of revelation, "the mana content in each head correlates with the strength of their respective monster cores. Whether the mutated plant devours a level 5 mutant beast or zerg, as long as the core remains intact, it manifests identical attack capabilities."
Yunho took note of this information, strategizing in the face of the new plant monster. "Are there any limitations or vulnerabilities that we can exploit in this mutant plant?"
"After careful analysis," Chantal responded thoughtfully, "we might stand a chance by severing one of its heads. Alternatively, entering the cave could provide a temporary respite, allowing us to plan and potentially delay a direct confrontation, Yunyun."
The cave loomed as a potential shelter, its shadows concealing both mysteries and possibilities in the impending battle against the massive meat-devouring mutant plant.
Sensing the urgency in Chantal's analysis, Yunho acted swiftly. With a decisive nod, he pulled Chantal close, enveloping her in a protective embrace as they navigated through the relentless barrage of the mutant plant's offensive onslaught. Thorny tendrils slashed through the air, their movements choreographed by the ominous intelligence guiding the monstrous entity. "The night without a moon would hinder us. Let's take shelter in the cave first." Yunho mentioned.
Yunho, relying on Chantal's insights, skillfully evaded each attack, their synchronicity reminiscent of a well-practiced fighting combination. The intensity of the moment heightened as they darted towards the entrance of the cave, the safety of its shadows beckoning them like a sanctuary against the impending threat.
"It's cooler here than I thought it would be."
"Can you also feel the blowing wind?"
As they crossed the threshold into the cool darkness of the cave, a momentary salvation washed over them. The air inside was damp, carrying a distinct earthy aroma that hinted at undiscovered depths within the cavern. Their hearts pounded in unison, the echo of their footsteps thundering against the cavern walls.
However, the relief was short-lived. Suddenly, the ground beneath them trembled, and without warning, the cave floor gave way, plunging them into an abyssal darkness. Yunho tightened his grip around Chantal, their descent becoming an uncontrollable freefall. The rush of air whistled past them, and the distant echoes of the mutant plant's wrath faded into the background.
As they descended deeper into the unknown, the walls of the cave seemed to blur, revealing an intricate network of luminescent crystals that illuminated their descent. The atmosphere shifted, and a surreal calm settled, as if the cave itself held the key to a hidden realm.
Yunho and Chantal exchanged glances, their shared uncertainty momentarily overshadowed by the sheer wonder of their surroundings. It became evident that their escape had taken an unexpected turn, leading them into a subterranean world beyond their wildest imaginations.
"We're still falling so fast."
"Hold on tight!"
A surreal symphony of rushing air and distant echoes accompanied the dizzying blur of the descent into the cave's depths. As Yunho and Chantal plummeted into the abyss, an overwhelming sensation overcame them—a potent combination of disorientation and weightlessness. The world around them spiraled into darkness, and consciousness slipped away like grains of sand through their fingers.
The next thing they knew, a gentle lullaby of ocean waves greeted their senses. Gradually, awareness seeped back into their minds like a rising tide. The rhythmic melody of the sea was all around Yunho and Chantal as they lay on the sun-kissed sands of an uninhabited island. The warmth of the golden sun caressed their skin, and a gentle breeze carried the scent of salt and adventure.
Blinking against the brilliance of the sunlight, Yunho stirred and sat up, his eyes scanning the horizon. Chantal, still regaining her bearings, joined him, and together they marveled at the pristine beauty that stretched before them. The island appeared to be a haven unaffected by the chaos they had left behind because of its lush greenery and palm trees.
As their senses fully returned, the memories of the mutant plant and the cave descended upon them like fragments of a dream. The transition from the cave's depths to the tranquil seashore felt like a journey between worlds, leaving them with more questions than answers.
Yunho turned to Chantal, his expression a mirror of curiosity and amazement. "Where are we? How did we end up on this island?"
Chantal, still processing the surreal turn of events, replied, "I have no idea. The last thing I remember is the fall in the cave. It's like the cave transported us to this place."
"It's the first time I've seen a paradise as beautiful as this, a deep blue sea." Yunho murmured.
"What do you mean? Have you not seen this kind of water before?"
"My queen, have you stayed for so long on the battlefield that you have forgotten how polluted the bodies of water are in the galaxy? We only have the black sea to see."
"Pollution?" Chantal did not want Yunho to see her embarrassment about forgetting that she was no longer on Earth.
"I feel like the universe is sending us to enjoy our honeymoon." Yunho jested.
Caught in the midst of the breathtaking scenery, Chantal turned to gaze at him, her eyes tracing the nuances of his features. At this moment, she truly appreciated how Yunho's werewolf genes bestowed upon him an alluring charm, making him even more captivating.
Yunho placed his hands on Chantal's shoulders, steadying her as if grounding her in reality. A warm smile graced his lips as he looked into her eyes. "My queen, take a moment to breathe in the beauty that surrounds us."
