The water of that river was so hot, if Isiah was functioning with divine energy he would have been boiling at this point, however, he was just battling to stay above the water, nothing more.

Isiah knew how to swim because on earth his parents taught him that he knew a lot of things. After all, they wanted him to be accomplished as their successor.

He was in several classes since he was young, and he learned a lot of skills including swimming.

He was afraid of the hot water which made him tremble a lot before he got his balance back.

" That was so close, i thought that i was going to die, it was so far and hot which made me think only of impossibilities"

Isiah was completely wet, he shook his head for a bit to remove water from his hair that was sticking to his face now, then he remembered the grimoire.

' I think it got destroyed completely , I have to get out to check on it ' He thought .

Isiah started to look around him to have a full picture of what was going on around him, when he got to see things floating on the surface of the river.

He couldn't identify what was floating on the surface, so he stayed in his place motionless, he thought that it must be a monster of some kind.

He was anticipating something bad to happen when something hit his back slightly, Isiah panicked and he turned around fast to see what it was.

The surprise was that he got bumped by a body there, a human body that looked gray for some reason in a state of unconsciousness, it was not alive and it was net certainly dead, it was in the middle , Isiah looked at the corpses with curiosity, he started to check on it from all sides but he didn't get any clue.

Since he fell on that water hundreds of corpses passed by him which made him feel uneasy .

He checked on 4 other corpses that were closer to him and they were all in the same state. He moved his body and started to swim to the land on the side that he was trying to reach when he first walked on the bridge.

He spent so much time going there because of the state of the water, the bubbles created a resistance that made him slower, and the vapor gave him difficulty in seeing all around him.

What usually takes 30 minutes of work has doubled because of that.

The moment Isiah reached the land, he was under the bridge to avoid any creature from seeing him, he laid down very exhausted from swimming against the water current.

He didn't notice that his body was going to shut down, he closed his eyes for a second to relax and the next thing that happened was him waking up after a long time.

Something was moving over his face, something small and sticky, he couldn't even move his hands to remove it, he was so tired and all he wanted to do was to sleep.

Isiah didn't know how much he slept, but when he finally woke up he jumped immediately because he remembered the sensation of something moving all over his face.

' I think i slept , the hot water made my whole body want to relax and sleep..i think i slept for a long time '

He started to look all around him but nothing changed, it was the same scenery, the only thing that changed was his body that got enough rest for that day.historical

Isiah then looked at the grimoire that was next to him and remembered that he needed to check on its state.

It looked intact because the cover seemed to protect it very well from anything getting inside, it was made to not be destroyed easily , and that black leather cover was very strong and proof .

It was not going to open until he used his blood and therefore he didn't think much about its state.

The moment he stood he saw the little black snake fall to the ground. He was very surprised to see it here because he thought that it was left in that empty place, so he got closer to it immediately.

' I don't think that it is harmful, it was moving all over my face when i was asleep and it didn't cause me any harm'

Isiah wanted to test that theory, so he held the snake in his hand, it moved fast and rolled its body all over his wrist.

Isiah closed his eyes because he thought that it would harm him or bite him but it didn't and instead it just stayed there and started to look at him with its yellowish eyes for a long time.

Isiah remembered that the snake licked the blood on the floor in that place so he automatically revealed the wound in his palm to it.

' I want to test the theory' He thought while he kept on looking at it with anticipation.

The snake started to move its upper body toward the wound, on the other hand, the blood stopped flowing but there were still some stains of it all over the wound. Isiah sighed and held his breath as it seemed that the snake was moving towards it like it was drawn to it somehow.

' Please don't bite me, please don't bite me, please don't bite ' He kept on begging the snake inside of him to not bite him while he was waiting for its next move.

The snake got closer and closer to that wound, but before it got it, the snake waved its forked tongue in the air and started moving toward it fast this time.

The moment it reached it Isiah closed his eyes because he was not used to anything touching him, anything that was alive.

The snake started to like that wound for a long time and slowly until it removed all the blood stains there, while he was still unaware of that .

He only opened his eyes until he felt that the licking stopped, he was relieved about that.

"I don't think it is a coincidence, you being here is not a coincidence," He said to that snake.
