Chapter 49 - Terroyike & Master Solace

Noah put his one hand on the cafeteria one door and gently tried to open as he pulled the door and a small gap started to appear and his vision that was limited before suddenly went black as he couldn't look past the door even for a few centimetres. Noah removes the necklace from his neck with his one hand and holds it with his fingers.

'Should I just drop this key at the door as it would return to me somehow or throw it inside? No, that would be quite stupid if the key made a loud sound and woke up some sleeping monster or hit the monster.' Noah slowly started to move his hand inside the door as try to put the key inside the cafeteria door but he stopped in his tracks as he remembered everything that happened to him for past few days his luck has been quite bad and everything that shouldn't go already gone wrong and he almost died couples of times, if he going to die here atleast he isn't going to die as coward in his last breath.

""Fuck this shit, I don't care whatever happens next I will just deal with it." Noah softly murmure under his breath to not himself be scared more than he already is with firm stupid idiotic resolve Noah throws the key with all his strength inside the cafeteria as far as he could. Does he need to do that again in the same way he did before but that doesn't make sense to him? Why would he do something like this?

But since he had this thought in mind he should go with it. Noah arched his hand back as he was about to throw the key with all his strength, he tried to remember where the window was when he arrived here for the delivery tonight but he can't pin point exact location in such darkness but it still decides to go with his memories. As Noah chose the direction to throw his key, he used all his remaining strength to throw the key as hard as he could.

As Key left the Noah hand it flew in the air, went past the cafeteria door and entered inside the darkness but just as it did, he heard the metallic object falling on the ground. He didn't see the key but he knew it's on the floor as he could see the small part of the thread visible out of the darkness. His eyes remained fixed on the thread then slowly moved to the place where the key hit the darkness or whatever this thing is.

"What the fuck is that?" Noah slowly murmured under his breath as a watch thread on the floor and slowly moved his eye to the place where the key hit the darkness. He didn't feel any change in darkness but he knew something wasn't right as focuses on one spot he felt like darkness had a small ripple spreading out. Like how birds ruffle their feathers, these tiny ripples also feel the same as if whatever that thing is is slowly waking up.

Noah take his hand back from the door as he felt as if something is moving through the darkness, he doesn't know what it is but he knew he will die before he can think of anything else but in split seconds in between door was about to close his eyes caught the sight red eyes slithering through the darkness. He could tell its eyes as he saw the iris like human iris but at same time it was different and the red eyes were also staring back at him. He felt naked standing naked in front of the eyes as it could look into his memories and everything including his nature.

Noah felt his chest grow heavy as fear gripped his heart with sharp claws but this fear didn't come from his survival instinct but from his mind, he couldn't understand what this scary thing is? Noah starts to run towards the down stairs to warn others about the danger and he doesn't have anywhere else to go except for this. But he felt pain in his chest as he felt more and more heavy as he took breath and his vision started to get affected by this. The itchiness started growing over his chest and spreading out on his skin and inside his flesh, as he placed his hand on his chest felt something on his chest. Noah lowered his eyes briefly to look at his chest and he saw hedgehog stings like stingers with animal-like fur and bird feathers growing on the stinger that had pierced in the centre of his chest just a few centimetres from his beating heart.

"The hell is that and this fucking thing stabbing my chest." Noah murmured under his heavy breath but couldn't pull out the stinger, even when he used all his strength. Black veins like things are spreading out from where he got the stab and the source of this itchiness seems to be his black veins. Even though he is scared and his vision is getting blurry his feet didn't stop moving past the stairs, so he is at least able to reach where everyone else is at but his feet become powerless against his will.

While he losing his consciousness he can feel the change in air as if its vibrating and shacking with low humming sound like kiwi screeching sound as if its resonating with something in the darkness of this world and suddenly all hell being loose as screech so loud like war cry of the kiwi bird resounded throughout the port whether they were above the ground, below the ground or inside the sea, whether they were human, nightmare creatures or things lurking inside darkness of the sea. The whole office building starts to shake as screech represents the being's arrival, waking from its sleep and showing its strength. Screech spread the fear straight into human consciousness and also into other nightmare creatures, being challenged by the another nightmare creature, once roaming mindlessly and targeting on individual nightmare creature formed horde as they all start to run towards the office building and one who were hidden behind the doors break free from the doors as the all run towards the cafeteria.

BANG!!!

Last thing Noah heard was doors being smashed into pieces all around his with loud roar, screech and growls as the other monster burst out of the different doors as they ran towards the cafeteria ignoring anything else in their path. As the cafeteria doors and windows are blasted off with attack from all sides. Monster finally stretch out its body as it could stand still while being attacked by her meal, as start to stood up whole building start shacking and crack start spread all over the structure.

Creature red eyes show the emotions of anger and frustration as the claws and teeth of this pest like being attacked by him. One intensely glowing eye disappeared inside the darkness and the half of the building collapsed as Sauroposeidon-like necks break through the structure within the second. The monster moved her neck breaking free from the office building on port. It looks miniature version of Sauroposeidon but it doesn't have tail, mouth or head, it moved her neck around as from her stomach her spike like hairy skin spilt apart to the neck as giant red slip through the slip through split skin as it moved up word looking at the figure of tiny human and giant meat roll fighting each other off but notice the gaze of giant red eye they stopped their fight for few seconds to look at new arrive of this monster.

"Jeremiah, who awakened the terroeyike before the ceremony time?" Man in the sky looks at terroeyike for a second and returns his focus to the one of the worst nightmare creatures one can find in water. While their fight didn't stop in the sky, it slowly came to a conclusion as both of them were near their limit, but it still didn't stop men from talking to his disciples.

"Master Solace, it seems to be awakened by itself." Jeremiah said as he looked at the terroeyike casually crushing skinnomore beneath its feet and iris effervesce being killed by the hedgehog-like spike from its all over the body. They were pretty simple but no one was prepared for palpus devourer to be here but from the way it's launch attack and been acting it must be someone else doing to stop them from completing the ceremony tonight.

"Terroeyike doesn't wake up unless being threatened with grave danger or by sensing the cursed treasure. Don't mess this time, we need terroeyike eyes no matter what and separate the cursed treasure or cursed object that it might have around its body. If you complete this task you will become the outer disciple." Men look at the palpus devourer octopus like tentacles burn with intense heat as flame consumes the flesh but soon new ones start to grow.

"Master Solace, this task will be completed without fail, we won't disappoint you." Jeremiah answers telepathy and soon the connection to his mind disappears and lets out a deep sigh as this task isn't going to be as easy as he said. As all of them are just disciples weren't even meant to be at such a dangerous task, let alone taking the eyes of terroeyike but first they need to find cursed objects around the Terroeyike.

"All of you heard what the master said. If it's cursed treasure we need to give it to the master and if it's an object then one of us is going to be one lucky bastard to get his hands on one." Jeremiah stood with 10 young men wearing red robes and all of them had their eyes covered with white cloth and wooden staff on their hands. At a wave every one of them started running around the terroeyike in a circle while activating shields to protect themselves from the spikes.

After getting into a circular position they firmly put their staff on the ground and start chanting spell in union, as this perfect opportunity for them to take down terroeyike as its fighting with the palpus devourer in its consciousness. But this spiritual battle seems to be hard for the terroeyike as palpus devourer has far more tricks then she does. Huge water globe like coal tar rotating above the palpus devourer head inside the consciousness terroeyike as no matter how many different attack she used against this dark water it would disappear or only continue to grow larger and larger.

Palpus' devourer sensed the fear and helplessness inside the terroeyike, now it found the perfect opportunity to attack the rotating huge water globe above its head to terroeyike. Dark coal tar water seems to have life of its own, seeing no way out terroeyike finally split her skin apart as from two sides of her body as two large red eyes slip out of the split skin and slither around its body like a snake. Frizzing the palpus devourer water ball in mid-air, terroeyike eyes shine with intense red glow as it finally stopped palpus devourer attacks but without realizing that was part of palpus devourer plan.
