Primordial Soul's Rebirth

"Um, doesn't this place give a creepy vibe to you guys…?"

One of the weaker raiders asked as he couldn't stop himself from trembling.

The cave was huge from the inside, but it was inside the ground.

Only the entrance was the thing that could be seen from the outside, and right now, all of them were inside the cave.

It was a dark cave and the only thing visible to them was the area that was brightened by the flame that Argon had created.

The guy's voice was quite low, but it was heard loud and clear in the cave where even their footsteps sounded like drums.

"I couldn't find any better spot for us to camp, we don't know what might jump on us outside, but here at least we know that there won't be any surprise attacks."

Argon spoke as he looked at the guy who spoke.

The guy lowered his head in fear as he saw Argon walking toward him, but then he felt a hand on his shoulders, so looked above.

"But for us to be sure that there is no danger inside the cave, we need to work together."

Argon continued as he patted the guy's shoulder with a smile.

'That's our emperor…'

'The kind and wise emperor we know.'

'He is back to the good emperor he was.'

Everyone smiled as they thought that Argon had turned back to the good guy he was.

Argon then moved back to his position and spoke.

"I will go check the deeper parts.

You guys should form groups with one S-ranker leading each group and scout the other sides."

Argon spoke and everyone nodded their heads.

"I will come with you!"

Misty hurriedly spoke before Argon could move away like before.

Argon looked at Misty for a while, causing her to get nervous while the other raiders also waited for Argon's reply.

'So annoying, can't she take a hint already!!

I only have my eyes for Alice, not just some random healers!'

Argon screamed inwardly but, on the outside, he walked close to Misty, looked into her eyes, and spoke sincerely.

"I wish I could Misty, but you know that after me you are the strongest, right?"

"….yes."

Misty replied after a small pause.

She could already tell where this conversation was going.

'Well, I tried only to fail again…'

Misty had tried this many times, but Argon would never let her get closer than friends.

"That is why you should stay here in case something happens.

You are the best healer as well, so you shouldn't stay away from the group, especially when I am away as well."

Argon's reasoning was pretty simple, but everyone could tell that Argon just didn't want to take Misty.

"….ok."

Misty spoke with her head lowered.

"Good, now let's move.

Also, remember to shout out for Misty if you guys feel like something is off!"

With his final orders, Argon dashed deeper into the cave.

Everyone gave Misty one final look before they went their ways as well.

.......................

"An Altar…."

Aurora muttered as she looked at the 5-meter-wide Alter.

It was the same size as the entrance, and even the shape was the same, it was like the cave was created by this Altar as the reference.

"Yes, an Altar, and this is what would help us fulfill our purpose today…."

Argon muttered as he stroked the edges of the Altar.

"How?"

Aurora asked although she had already pretty much guessed what Argon was planning.

"With the help of this."

Argon spoke as he took out a brown-colored pill from his storage ring.

*Sniff*

Aurora sniffed the pill as she moved close to the pill.

"Sleeping-inducing pill?"

She questioned with a frown of confusion.

It smelled like a 'sleep-inducing pill' but it was a bit different.

"Yes, but a strong one."

Argon nodded his head and then placed the pill back into his ring.

"So, how are you going to feed it to them?"

Aurora asked and the question caused Argon to smile evilly.

"Why do you think I kept them busy with all the traveling stuff since yesterday morning?

They must be really hungry right now…."

Aurora's eyes shone with a realization and her suspension about what Argon was going to do also got confirmed.

.......................

"Argh, what happened???"

Argon questioned as he held his head with a frown.

With the corner of his eyes, however, he looked at each and every raider lying on the ground closely, looking for any movement.

But not getting any reaction from them, he relaxed and stood up.

'Looks like all of them are out.'

Argon muttered inwardly as he looked at the big pot that was used to cook the food.

"Just some gentle words and they would believe whatever I say…"

Argon muttered in a low voice.

He used the pill by saying that it was an energizing pill along with some words of worry, and they all believed him easily.

"Well, let's take them to the altar now…"

Argon spoke as three hands made of rock emerged out of the ground.

"It's good that I copied this ability before coming here….."

Argon spoke as he remembered asking a guy from his guild: "Would you agree to share your skill with me if I asked you to?"

The guy answered with a yes, and Argon got the skill.

Yes, as you all must've already guessed, Argon has a copying skill.

Although it needs some conditions to be fulfilled, it is still a pretty good skill.

This was the skill he awakened after he returned to the past, and this was the one thing that made many things easier for him.

"A little help here."

Argon looked at Aurora and spoke to her.

There were more than 100 people, after all, and he couldn't move them all alone, or well, he could, but it would be faster if Aurora helped.

"Okay."

Aurora nodded her head and waved her hand.

5 or 6 people started levitating and they moved along with her as she moved forward.

"Hey, would you share your skill with me?"

Argon asked hopefully, but Aurora simply turned around and looked at him coldly.

"No."

A single-word reply before she moved ahead toward the Altar.

'It was worth a try…'

Argon muttered inwardly before he started following behind her while carrying two or three people in each one of those hands made of rock.

"How do you know where we have to take them?"

Argon asked curiously as he didn't remember mentioning that to Aurora till now.

"I'm much older than you could think of, and I know many things, so you don't need to tell me what an altar could be used for.

That too when it is in such a creepy place, hidden so deep."

Aurora replied without looking back causing Argon to raise his brows.

"Well, it's better this way, I won't have to tell you what to do on every step…"

Argon just shrugged.

What none of them knew was that two people in the group were still awake and they listened to every single word that left Argon's mouth.
