62 Forest guardian "Didn't you hear me, we're screwed, this whole expedition is going down." Nika was having a hard time keeping it together. As long as cryptids remained in control of the site, even running away was impossible. "Just trust me on this!" Uriel limped towards the great platform, uncaring of Nika's frightened condition. He had seen Sam on a similar state before and he knew how difficult it was for a person to snap out of it on their own, but he didn't count on all the years of…

61 Battlefield Uriel didn't know what was going to happen after crushing a total of ten flux orbs, what he knew was that he didn't have the leisure of time to waste in such thoughts and allocated his recently acquired stat point in speed without even thinking, but it was a given that Strength didn't matter in the slightest when using a firearm. A quick check on his revolver confirmed that it now had only four bullets left and he stored it inside his museum in hopes of getting some more ammunition…

60 Mystical mayhem Uriel was completely dazzled by the ancient dagger he obtained and he intended to keep it at hand the whole trip back to camp. The thought of Nika reminding everyone about the clause that allowed him to claim artifacts for himself also lingered on his mind. Up to that point Uriel had assumed that Nika would only care for Mapple corp. and didn't expect her to openly back him up. It could be said that now he opened himself to trust her instead of just considering her an assistant,…

59 Orichalcum "Orichalcum? but that's a mythical metal only mentioned by Plato, it was supposedly similar to copper and it was present in..." "Atlantis, we know because that's where we found the first piece." Nika cut him short. "But that means..." "That Atlantis was found, I thought you knew about the Mapple project." Nika interrupted him again but Uriel wasn't even mad. Instead, he was speechless and his mind struggled to keep up with the speed of his thoughts. If Atlantis had been found…

58 Dark rituals "This mechanism seems to be designed to activate only when there's exactly one person on this side of the platform." Uriel observed as he leaned forward to study the altar closely, but its design was simple and there were no carvings on sight. "This is an amazing finding! It is known that this Cenote was used as a place of adoration where the ancient Mayans offered gold and precious gems to Xibalbá, but it seems they also performed dark rituals in here." He exclaimed in glee. "Dark…

"No matter how you put it, this is just a small pond." Nika said as she was taking off her shoes to take a swim in the water. "No, it's not a pond, it's a Cenote! They're usually pretty deep and can be dangerous to go in if you don't know them well. Also..." Uriel explained and attempted to warn Nika, but she cut him short. "You're going to tell ME about Cenotes!? I was born in Mexico, I know all there is to know about Cenotes! Besides I'm a heavenly rank so I can take good care of myself." Nika…

Now that Uriel's confidence enjoyed a huge boost from his first success, he wasn't hesitant to step into the Kukulkan pyramid anymore. If anything, he was more excited than ever because now he was being backed by most of the researchers on site and he was being treated as a full fledged archaeologist by them. "I already figured out what's the Great jaguar platform's purpose which is good, but in order to find the entrance to the underground structure I'll need to study every single POI first. There's no…

"This is incredible, you're incredible!" Nika said after gulping down a celebratory beer the night after Uriel sealed off the jaguar spirit. "That will keep those nerds mouths shut." The whole camp was immersed in a joyful mood after the first breakthrough during their whole investigation. Not only it was a huge step forward for research, but those tasked with the camp security were extremely blissful now they didn't have to worry about the jaguar cryptid when coming and going for supplies. "Don't be…

54 The mystery of the clay figurine "You are nothing but a glorified self proclaimed translator and there's nothing to translate in the platform of the great Jaguar!" Professor Schlieman said pushing Uriel back. If he wasn't an evolved he would have most likely dropped the clay figurine, but thankfully he managed to hold on to it. "You are not needed here! Now scram and let the professionals take care of everything and give me that before you break it." He said trying to take the clay figurine from…

53 This is heaven "You need to be patient, yesterday I barely got the chance to look at the site from the distance and the only researcher I met was that weird guy Schlieman. To investigate further I need to gather more data." Uriel said trying to hide his excitement. In all truth, he could have simply walked inside the great pyramid and attempted to translate the glyphs, but he wanted to fully appreciate the experience. It wasn't everyday that a college student had the chance to participate in an…
