Transmigrated as a Ghost

Chapter 303 - 303 A Date At The Crystal Caverns (2)

With his spell illuminating the crystals all around them both Marcus and Mrazivý were able to take in the breathtaking view.

"Wow it is beautiful." Mrazivý said while looking around in a daze.

Nodding his head Marcus agreed with her and looked at the natural wonder around them.

He had heard of large deposits of crystals back on earth that were a sight to be seen, but this seemed to be even more amazing.

Crystals of many different colors had formed, creating a wide spectrum of beautiful colors that danced around the ravine in the flickering of the light.

And they were currently still only just at the beginning, as Mrazivý had said that there were also caverns that led into more densely packed areas of crystals, and some that were even mystical.

"Well, did you want to go ahead and explore this place a bit more, see if we can find some of those caverns your bother told you about."

"Huh. Oh yeah, we should do that. If this is what the preshow looks like I cannot wait to see the main event."

After they had taken their time to appreciate the view in front of them, the two of them began walking down the stream that cut through the bottom of the ravine looking for any entrances into the caverns.

However, while they were busy being enamored by beautiful crystals, a creature that called this area its home had locked on to them. Its face turning up into a smile as it began stalking its unwitting prey, that was soon to find out another reason why this was a little-known location.

Searching the bottom of the ravine it did not take them long to find and entrance into a cave that delved deeper into the ground and was full of enchanting crystal formations.

Of course, with all of the sharp crystals protruding out of the ground, for a normal person entering into the cavern would be impossible.

But neither Marcus nor Mrazivý were anywhere near the norm, and using his iron skin spell, Marcus added another layer of protection to his already tough physical form.

Mrazivý on the other hand continued to show the versatility of her unique skill and actually used it to create a makeshift walkway over the crystals.

The two of them continued deeper into the caverns that were full of crystals while appreciating their majesty and enjoying each other's company.

However, when they made it to a certain area where the crystals color had all changed to be completely clear instead of the multitude of colors they had been before, Mrazivý began looking around frantically before a massive smile formed on her face.

"Marcus, could you turn off your light spell, I think this is one of the area's my brother told me about, and we will not be able to fully appreciate it without darkness."

Nodding his head Marcus complied with Mrazivý and stopped sending mana to his spell, and soon the bright light that had been with them faded leaving them in total darkness.

Mrazivý then moved to the closest crystal and with her sheathed sword hit it lightly.

Ding!

A beautiful sound resonated off of the crystal Mrazivý had hit and the previously clear crystal began to glow a bright orange.

With disbelief on his face Marcus looked at all of the crystals around them and realized that they were in some kind of giant instrument.

'What the hell is this place. No way that it is natural right. I wonder if the administrator put this place here on purpose. Ah whatever, since it is here, we might as well have some fun.'

Marcus and Mrazivý then went around hitting each of the crystals in the room to figure what note they played and what color they glowed.

"Okay are you ready." Mrazivý said to Marcus after the two of them had figured out all of the notes that they could play.

"Yeah, I am ready but if I mess up do not get to upset, I have little experience playing music." Marcus said as he took his place and brought out his iron sphere and spectral arm and put them in front of specific crystals.

Mrazivý then started the song she wanted to play and using her unique skill she was able to hit a majority of the crystals even while standing still.

Soon it got to Marcus' part, though he did mess up a few times. But Mrazivý would just start over and eventually they were able to play the entire song she wanted to hear.

After that the two of them continued to play around in the musical crystal room, playing a few more songs, and sometimes just messing around to see what kind of crazy sounds or color combinations they could make.

However, at some point Marcus got and idea and said, "Hey, how about we try hitting them all at once."

Nodding her head in agreement, the two of them maneuvered around so that they could reach every crystal with either their limbs or abilities.

"Okay, three, two, one, go."

With perfect timing the two of them hit every single crystal at once and a cacophony of different sounds echoed through the room.

Except none of the crystal's lit up this time after their initial hit, but a moment later they all lit up far brighter than before and the color they were emitting did not begin to dissipate.

One of the large crystals, that was glowing green then became brighter and what sounded like the tolling of a bell resonated through the room.

The crystals then began to play a song all on their own, and its beautiful melody was captivating.

It was such a peaceful song that seemed to soothe the soul and every worry and inhibition that either Marcus or Mrazivý had, seemed to melt away into nothing as the profound song that could even quell titans played.

Listening to the song, there was no doubt in Marcus' mind that it was the most beautiful thing he had ever heard.

Nevertheless, like all things, the song soon came to an end, and the crystals that had been perpetually glowing, began to return to normal.

But just as the last bit of light was about to disappeared, a beam emitted out from each of the crystals and met in the middle of the room.

The numerous beams of light that had met in the middle then exploded into what looked like an aurora borealis that danced around.

A low rumbling sound began to reverberate throughout the room, and in the center the ground began to sink in and reveal a secret pathway.

'Well, this was certainly unexpected.'

Never did Marcus think that they would run into something so fantastical while they were down here. This went well beyond just a beautiful site seeing experience he had been expecting.

"That was certainly something was it not Marcus. Even when my brother told me he found a room with musical crystals I did not think it would be this amazing. And it was a good idea to hit them all at once, I have never heard such a breathtaking song."

Naturally Mrazivý was still giddy after hearing the song that had been played and while Marcus thought it did deserve further discussion, and an encore if possible. Currently however, the secret passage that had opened up took priority.

"So, Mraz did you want to see where this leads. We could come across something even more spectacular or it could be a death trap." Marcus said while looking intently at the hole in the ground.

"You worry too much Marcus; do you think that after such a beautiful song the secret path it revealed would lead us to our doom. Anyway, I am an adventurer at heart before anything else. Not exploring what has been revealed to me would go against my nature."

Mrazivý then moved towards the opening and jumped in without hesitation following her adventurer's spirit.

'I guess I already knew this would happen, time to throw caution to the wind.'

Jumping into the hole, Marcus began sliding down a descending tunnel that was made of smooth stone.

The slide continued for a good minute, being full of twists and turns much like a massive slide from a park.

Soon Marcus could see a faint glow at the end of the slide, and a shadow being cast by Mrazivý who was standing near the exit.

Coming to the end of the slide Marcus came to a stop, and before him was another tunnel that was lined with softly glowing crystals in the ceiling, that seemed to be directing them forward.

And as he stood up, he heard the soft sound of running water.

Looking to his left and right he could see that part of the walls were carved out and had streams of crystal-clear water flowing through them.

"Another unbelievable site, right." Mrazivý said as she looked all around the tunnel and taking it in.

Of course, Marcus did the same and quickly understood something.

"You realize it too right Mraz."

Nodding her head Mrazivý said, "Yeah this area is not natural, someone or something carved it out."
