The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1915

“W-what should we do now, Mr. Crawford…?” whispered Rey, gulping as he stared at all the giant scorpions around them. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t see an opening for them to escape at all!

“Stay calm! I’m thinking!” replied Gerald as he continued looking around, hoping that it would help him devise an escape plan.

Thankfully, it wasn’t long after before Gerald spotted a large door leading out of this area.

With their escape route in his sight, Gerald quickly whispered, “Rey, do you see that large door at your twelve o’clock?”

Turning to look in that direction, Rey then nodded before replying, “I do!”

“Good, now listen up. The plan is simple. You rush over to open that door while I distract the scorpions! Got it?” explained Gerald.

“L-loud and clear!” replied Rey, knowing that that was their best bet of surviving this encounter.

Hearing that, Gerald then drew his Astrabyss Sword before pushing Rey with his other hand while yelling, “Good! Now go!”

As Rey nodded before bolting toward the large door, Gerald himself began channeling his energy into the Astrabyss Sword, allowing it to emit its spiritblade.

Watching as the scorpions backed off a bit—after they saw the spiritblade—, Gerald took that chance to get a bit closer to Rey. He made sure to stick close enough to Rey to ensure that Rey wouldn’t get sneak attacked by any hiding scorpions…

Thanks to the duo’s teamwork, they were able to get Rey to the large door…

Taking a few steps back, Rey could only stare wide-eyed as the door finally swung open a few seconds later.

Delighted, Rey then yelled, “M-Mr. Crawford, come quick! The door’s open!”

Hearing that, Gerald instantly turned to charge for the exit… and moments later, both of them found themselves staring at the large scorpions—that had now stopped in their tracks—from the other side of the giant door…

Shortly after, the scorpions began retreating, prompting the confused Rey to ask, “…Huh? They’re… not chasing after us…?”

Staring as they scuttled off, Gerald simply replied, “Indeed… I’m assuming that they’re afraid of something in here!”
