Chapter 9: Unpredicted Battle
"Wow!" exclaimed Elio as he stepped into the underground courtyard, not believing the splendor of the place.
Apparently, Queen Liza had told him that the Blue Monster was locked, but the Greek god had insisted on accompanying Elio just in case the bitch was lying.
The creepy corridor sloped underground, taking them into a normal looking corridor that looked as bright as if it was daylight. When Queen Liza opened a bar gate at its end, Elio was greeted by a huge courtyard with a square-shaped swimming pool, vases of plants and flowers surrounding it.
Instinctively, he shifted his gaze upward where the sunlight was coming from.
’This is brilliant!’
Elio didn’t expect these people to have such skills.
They had dug a wide well-like hole that went deep underground, then built a courtyard at its base to receive sunlight from it.
’I feel like I’m both underground and outside at the same time.’
’Oh! The Blue Monster. Where’s it?’
Elio wondered his eyes around, curiosity about to burst him.
"There!" said the Greek god who had guessed what he was looking for. He himself was staring at the creature with both awe and shock on his chiseled face.
