"You're right. Hisashi..there is no other way but, against death.." reply Ferghus, a super mysterious expression.
"What does it mean that we have to climb the stairs?" tanya Adel made the others gasp to realize where this conversation was going.
"Say. Are you scared and want to back off?? It's too late to escape. We won't be able to get out as easily as when we enter this place" Ferghus said as he wiped away all the sweat that flooded his face.
"You mean?"
"This is a special slaughterhouse. Every human who comes here will be sacrificed. You know, don't you? Lee Than Ming...Marthen Mathias sells human organs" Ferghus sighed making everyone shudder in horror.
"Our time is limited don't waste another chance. We have to get everything done as soon as possible" Hisashi warned. Ferghus took the lead at the front up the stairs after all climbing up the stairs, before he played the ladder control lever, he let out a long sigh.
"no one steps forward before I do" said Ferghus, pointing the lever to the right.
"What's your reason for bringing us here?" anastasya asked while looking to the right and left.
"Only instinct"
"What?! You!! How can you risk the lives of everyone here through your instincts?!" pekik Adel riled.
"Or do you want to walk the other way? You know, we're really safe going somewhere else?" challenge Ferghus made Adel's wrathful face stiffen instantly.
The girl forgot, that here everyone can only rely on a Ferghus Cloy who, according to Kenatt, has the ability to know any event before it actually happens.
"Hisashi!! Stop the time after this staircase merges into the other room!!" exclaimed Ferghus who immediately answered the nod of the Great Master Hisashi.
Checklic
Clique
The sound of the stairs is connected to each other. Hisashi immediately stopped time!! As soon as the man was surprised to get a warm welcome from a round object as big as a hula hop that was all over filled with a huge burning fire!!
If Hisashi had not been prepared since Ferghus gave his warning, he would have immediately stepped forward and burned to the ground by hitting the fiery round object.
Time has now stopped Ferghus orders Hisashi to swing the object right at the painting displayed on one of the walls. Hisashi used his wind power to throw the object right at the painting. Time is starting to go back.
Anastasya and others were shocked and amazed to see the object that almost burned Hisashi Master had now been thrown into the painting on the wall. The painting burned to the ground.
"Let me walk in the lead" Ferghus told Hisashi asking for permission. The Great Master stepped onto the floor, and let Ferghus walk in the lead.
They stepped past the burning painting earlier. It turns out Ferghus asked Hisashi to burn his painting because a giant bullet-throwing shell was stalking them all!!
If the painting is not burned, then the bullet casings will not melt and cover the exit of thousands of ammunition ready to be fired at everyone who passes through this place.
"Wow, it turns out that behind the painting there is this terrible thing yes," muttered Anastasya amazed at the ability of Ferghus as well as Hisashi.
"Riche.it's time to hand out weapons to all of them" Kenatt said.
"Weapons? Hello man, we're dealing with a human half-demon" Rulby said in disbelief.
If all the weapons were useful, then the police had already captured Lee Than Ming so easily but the proof? Until now, people named Lee Than Ming aka Marthen Mathias can still freely hide and even commit murder without anyone knowing!!
"He is now fully a demon boy, he has no human side at all. Therefore, we must put an end to his barbaric actions immediately" Hisashi said, using Rulby's words starting in Riche's translet.
"So, what is the guarantee that we can use these weapons here?" tanya Rulby received the weapon that had been distributed evenly by Riche.
"Are you doubting Armian's ability? He made those weapons with great difficulty. Appreciate it" Kenatt said furiously how not? Girls are indeed the source of the loudest voices in the world but at least Kenatt should be grateful without Girls, the world would feel very lonely.
"Just calm. All the weapons have been soaked with holy water at the very least, it can be bad for the damn creature despite not being able to kill him" Armian replied after a thud calling everyone's attention.
"You...give me a fan? Oh yes pampuuun" Adel protested upset why only he carries a weapon like this?
"That's Miss Tessen.you can tear anyone's body apart by just throwing it. I think you, will enjoy it soon. Believe me" Armian said with a smile full of mystery as he continued on their way all.
"Oh, and one more. When it is thrown, it will return to its master. Don't let the weapon eat sir huh," Armian's tease made Adel's eyes bulge in disbelief. Seeing Armian scare Adel, Ferghus immediately locked Armian's head with his armpits. Armian directly punched a small shoulder Ferghus after going through a small struggle.
Sreth.....
Kress...
Armian's steps stopped feeling that there was an awkwardness in the place where he stood.
"Wait on!! Don't you feel weird about the leaves on this floor?" tanya Armian pointed towards the leaves that formed a line extending along the path like a plant that was deliberately laid out as neatly as possible. Riche turned his head towards Armian and glanced towards the large statue not far from where Armian was standing.
"what's on the map, there's a statue shaped like that?" riche asked a glance at Ferghus and then stepped closer to the leaves that Armian had found.
Ferghus immediately reopened the Escape Map and saw a blood red symbol encircling the image, in the description chart. Adel and Ferghus looked at each other trying to decode the red circle on the image of the statue.
Riche with both hands tried to uncover the suspicious leaves. Riche immediately jumped away from the leaves and ran towards Armian who was standing right on the leaves.
"Stoooop!!" riche shouted as Armian was about to touch the statue and managed to grab the man until they rolled down to hit both Amarru and Hisashi's legs.
Aaarth sroaaaaaaaaaarth!!
The deafening voice explained that, Armian had pressed on one of the body parts of the statue by accident. Everyone there gasped to see what would happen if Armian and Riche were still on the leaves, which turned out to be under the leaves, there were many small holes extending along the side of the spooky statue.
The most gripping part is.there are many sharp spears though slim, have been ready to come out of the holes!! And because the Armian had touched one part of the body of the statue, the spears were sticking out, so that they stuck to the ceiling of the room.
"Broooo..., did you see that?" armian asked stiffened at Riche while the one in question only nodded and gulped.
"I think you saved me. Thank goodness I didn't become skewered meat up there" Armian added patting her cheek as if to wake up from her nightmare.
"Didn't you know this was gonna happen?" adel looked at Ferghus.
"Of course I know"
"Then why did you let us almost die in the middle of that leaf huh?!" armian's strangulation instantly stood up and gripped the collar of Ferghus' shirt.
"Because I know, Riche will save your life" said Ferghus staring intently at Armian and then breaking away from Armian's clutches.
"I told you not to step up and touch anything here before I say it's safe, right?" ferghus said with a prickly grin.
"Hey Broo, you just said don't step!! Don't don't touch!!" armian protests held back in annoyance.
"But I just said, right? We'll keep arguing here until nightfall, or end this deadly adventure soon huh?” ferghus retorted very casually and then stepped back in everyone's footsteps.
Right in the third passageway, there is an intersection that makes Ferghus Cloy's steps restrained. He seemed reluctant to choose and then looked at Armian.
"Can you use your Kocerjett to cross every intersection without anyone riding it?" asked Ferghus anxiously.
"No. Someone has to climb up to control it" Armian said as he frowned.
"Is it easy to control?"
"Ah yes, we simply stand on it, then rule wherever we want" Armian replied still staring in wonder at Ferghus.
"Can I borrow it? I don't want to speculate about this intersection" Ferghus answered so seriously that Armian would not lend his beloved Kocerjett.
"If in 20 minutes you don't see me, you'd better leave me" Ferghus said, operating Kocerjett. The man floated flying using Kocerjett and Glassmate towards the right intersection. It flies not too high nor too low.
Smog was coming back in the room!!
"Glassmate!! Observation!!" ferghus orders after braking Kocerjett's pace. Glassmate showed that behind the smog, there were many spiked balls, hanging along a chain that covered many roads.
Because the wind was howling, the hundreds of chains were swinging around very fiercely. Without a second thought, Ferghus chose to go to the left intersection. Kocerjett driven by Ferghus had an obstacle to speed because of the wind is very big!!
"Glassmate!! Observation!!" ferghus' orders returned. Glassmate works well able to penetrate the roar of strong winds. A solid object made of soil? Yeah, Ferghus' eyes don't look wrong!! His eyes had been protected by the Glassmate's really, giant object made of solid earth deliberately made to resemble a human body.
"Oh no..Is this some kind of game?" ferghus muttered in memory of the game as a teenager.
Wings!!
What is that sound? Ferghus was instantly on guard, staring ahead!! Damnit damnit!! The eyes of the giant thing were now, shining a reddish color.
"You, really golem apparently huh," said Ferghus resigned to reality but he soon ruled Kocerjett turned around.
"Turbo speed!!" ferghus cried out in panic as the flames came out of Kocerjett's tail.
Wuzzzzzz
Yaaaaaa!! The cry of Ferghus was heard to the place where his group stayed because of a fall due to the great speed of Kocerjett. Everyone just remained silent, and vigilant. Their hands were firmly attached to the weapons, fully on standby.
Wupppp!!
The winggggggggg!!
Thankfully, Ferghus' right hand reached Kocerjett. Now his left hand also managed to reach Kocerjett.
Bang out!!
Bang out!!
Bang out!!
Golems ran towards Ferghus with the mystical power of the Golem able to catapult Ferghus at once Kocerjett with so much wind power!!
BuuuuuuUUUUU!!
There was no explosion of fire, only a gas explosion, caused by the wind that blows fiercely towards Kocerjett Ferghus. The man was thrown so far away that he headed towards the middle of the intersection, making the whole group gasp to see Ferghus falling from the ceiling thumping violently rolled on the floor.
"Fergus!!" a panicked Adel shouted immediately running towards Ferghus.
"Stoop!! Back!!" ferghus snapped with a pushy look. Adel had never seen Ferghus like this before. The man stared at the intersection he had just entered. He immediately ran while transporting Kocerjett to grab the girl's hand towards returning to his group.
"What's going on?" kenatt asked frantically as soon as he saw Ferghus' disheveled appearance.
"Right hallway from your direction, there is a trap in the form of long chains decorated with consecutive spiked balls. And the one on the left is an object, I'm expecting some kind of Golem, ready to crush our bodies at any moment" said Ferghus gasping for breath.
"I raise my hand to the hallway in front of you. My energy's drained for that one". Ferghus raised both his hands.
"I'm the owner of that thing so I'll figure it out" said Armian holding out his hands asking Kocerjett and Glassmate. The man frowned concerned over the condition of his beloved Kocerjett. The back of Kocerjett was charred in flames while the middle of it cracked wide.
"Thank God you still left this one for me" Armian said resentfully as he held up Glassmate in front of Ferghus' face.
"It was an accident" said Ferghus feeling guilty. Armian did not press Ferghus' self-defense he instead removed Ferghus' body in front of him for blocking Armian's visibility.
"Dam. In front of us is a huge wind. I guess..anyone who goes into it will immediately end his history" cried Armian immediately took off Glassmate and held both eyes.
Aarrrgh!!
He screamed in pain at Armian's condition, Anastasya immediately pulled both Armian's hands until everyone could see Armian's eyes shed tears of blood.
Tests..
Tests...
Test test...
Riche was surprised to find something dripping on his left shoulder from the roof!! The man looked towards the left shoulder,
Euuuh!!
Pekik Armian saw there was a very sticky green mucus on his left shoulder. All eyes looked up, looking at the lizard-like but horned creature in its snout, even having a large number of pointed teeth!! Looking hungry everyone. Riche dodged and stepped back, before the green liquid, slid back towards him.
Adel stared at the floor where they had once walked there with a racing heart.
"The riche!! Undress you!!" yell Adel in panic. The man groaned in pain on the left shoulder.
"W-what do you mean? akh!!" riche asked while shrieking in pain.
"Don't touch!!" adel shouted as Riche would touch the left shoulder covered in disgusting green mucus.
"Follow my words!! Undress you!!" snapped Adel. Riche was no longer able to endure the pain on his left shoulder to immediately open his shirt.
"Auuuuch!!" his screech when the shirt on Riche's left shoulder felt sticky.
Ferghus and Adel looked at each other nodding, and coded Anastasya to immediately take out his bottle of alcohol. While Adel sacrifices his favorite pink handkerchief to silence Riche's mouth. The man glared at Adel wanting to protest why his mouth was on a handkerchief?! Ferghus immediately grabbed Riche's sticky shirt and pulled it tight.
