Chapter 72 - Crack.
The sky above Forest of Unknown became completely dark, making the forest look even darker. Now it's completely pitch black, it's impossible to see where you are walking, and it is also incredibly dangerous to walk in the Forest of Unknown at night because there are Monsters and Beasts who have night vision.
That's why most of the Guilds and Parties have left the forest, but there are two figures who have been completely forgotten.
In a certain cave, two figures were seen. The cave was still bright because of the glowing river and blue crystals hanging from the ceiling.
A beautiful black-haired girl was innocently swimming in the lake, she had a cheerful smile, but her swimming looked quite amateurish.
''You are doing great.'' Isaac said, ''Keep your arms stretched.''
''A-Alright.'' Luna did as she was told and continued swimming.
Isaac has taught Luna to swim because apparently, she couldn't swim in real life. She learned the basics almost instantly, and now she is already quite decent.
She kept swimming for another minute until she became too exhausted to continue. She arrived on the shore and left the lake with an exhausted smile, but her face still had her cheerfulness.
''That was fun.'' She said with a giggle. She kicked her legs in the water and tried to catch her breathing. Her beautiful face, which almost looked like the face of a porcelain doll was dripping with water, making her smooth and delicate-looking face even shinier.
Her long black hair looked shiny and clean. It was like the lake had some kind of charming effect.
Luna looked towards Isaac, who looked like he was daydreaming, ''Thanks for teaching me swim!'' She said with a sweet smile.
Isaac was brought of his thoughts. He gave a simple thumbs up and replied, ''No problem.''
Luna tilted her head. She saw Isaac's face turning into complete concentration, ''What is it?''
''Hmm... I swear I saw something in the bottom of the lake while I was washing my face.'' Isaac put his face closer to the lake and soon submerged.
He narrowed his eyes while underwater and looked at the bottom of the lake. The bottom of the lake had a bunch of blue crystals, which might be the reason for the glowing effect, but he was sure that he saw something else...
Soon... He found a crack on the bottom of the lake!
'The water is coming here from somewhere... But from where... Should I check it out... Of course! What is the point of games if I don't plan to adventure a little bit.' Isaac pulled his head from the water and looked at Luna.
''Wanna go for an adventure?'' He asked with his hair being completely wet. Small waterdrops trickled down his smooth skin moving all the way to his chin and dropping to the ground afterward.
''Adventure!'' Luna looked excited. She looked like a kid about to receive her birthday present.
Isaac opened his Interface and looked at how much time he had left.
[01:56:54.07]
Less than 2 hours.
Isaac isn't worried about Luna's time limit coming up. She has a Legendary VR Helmet, after all.
''Well, then.'' Isaac pressed two buttons in front of him, and instantly his Chain Armor was sucked inside his Inventory.
The only thing left was his wet shirt and leather pants.
Luna innocently smiled. She wasn't wearing any armor, only her Spellcaster robes which also gave her an increase in HP.
It also doesn't hinder her movements at all.
Isaac felt that it was incredibly uncomfortable swimming while wearing Chain Armor, so he decided to take it off.
''Give me your hand,'' Isaac said.
Luna put her soft and delicate arm forwards while Isaac grabbed her hand.
''Alright, I will show you the way,'' Isaac said and jumped to the water.
Luna entered the water slowly. She took a deep breath and submerged herself in the water.
Isaac started swimming towards the crack while Luna let him drag her.
The light from the blue crystals forced Luna to close her eyes, but Isaac didn't mind and arrived in the small crack, which could fit one person.
Isaac stopped diving. He turned towards Luna, who had her eyes closed.
He tapped her shoulder a few times, which caused Luna to open her eyes. The first thing she saw was Isaac's beautiful grey eyes.
Isaac pointed at the crack, and Luna instantly understood.
Luna was the first one to enter through the crack. Hher body was quite petite, which made it easy for her to enter the crack.
She looked slightly afraid because suddenly everything was dark and she felt her falling down to a dark abyss.
Isaac entered the crack next and used the walls of the crack to increase his pace of falling.
Soon, he saw an outline of a figure.
Inside the crack, there was more space which helped Isaac to move next to Luna.
Luna looked around her anxiously, trying to find Isaac, but then she felt something touching her hand.
She almost started screaming, but then she recognized the warmth of the hand.
She turned her beautiful ocean blue eyes towards the figure and slightly saw the outline of Isaac's face.
Isaac looked below him and saw nothing but dark.
If there is nothing here, they have to swim back to the surface, but he is afraid that Luna might not be fast enough to not drown.
He felt her hand tremble, but he was confident that there was something here!
Isaac already had difficulties of breathing, but Luna was even in a worse situation. Her face was becoming purple, but the end was nowhere to be seen.
When all hope seemed to be lost...
A small blue light appeared below them.
Isaac widened his eyes and increased their paces.
Luna desperately tried to keep her mouth shut.
Isaac slightly moved his position and started pushing Luna towards the bright light.
Soon, they arrived in the blue light.
Both of their bodies got surrounded by blue light, and both of them suddenly disappeared from the dark abyss, and once again... A notification popped up.
