Now, the children use the old way with the help of Azumi's magic mirror.
All the items that Azumi owned were nicely stored by Kenta. Including other children when their comrades who had been killed while on a mission, the bag was secured by a close friend.
They speak the language of mythology. Translation.
"Magic mirror. Show me the Chimera that must be hunted to complete a level 7 mission," Pinta Kenta whose face is now reflected in the mirror.
All the children were made tense out of worry if the mirror asked for a reward. But the miracle happened again. The mirror shows the figure of the Chimera willingly.
The children immediately approached and stared at the creature intently which turned out to be quite creepy due to the combination of the three animals. Lion, goat, and serpent-tailed.
The creature looked ferocious and tough like it was hard to defeat. Kenta to the shock he made, but back serious.
"Where can I find the creature?" tanyanya stared at herself sharply.
Again, the magic mirror showed a place where they had never come to the region before. The other children took a look until finally, the look in the mirror disappeared.
Kenta and his friends looked at each other in silence. They looked like they were thinking about something seriously.
"That place ... is it within this prison area, or any other prison? Isn't ... There's still one more passageway at the last door we haven't been to?" tanya Mandarin reminded.
"Eitherway. However, during my flight, a place with rocky hills, a field of rare grass, was invisible to me from above the sky. The region where we find creatures like chickens is also not so," Rex said from his observations while in Hades prison.
"Are we able to get out of this prison without a manhunt?" asked Boas curiously.
"I don't know. Let's just try. If you can't get out, it means that Chimera is in this prison" Vadim said.
The kids agreed. However, Gibson suggested that they rest and rearrange the strategy before dealing with the enemy.
He also requested that everyone check the weapons and supplies because the prison they were in was most promising. There was plenty of food and water.
I don't know what happened, but the hue of happiness with a cheerful face seemed invisible again. The faces of the children turned serious.
Lazarus and others seemed to focus on sharpening Elf swords and innate weapons from their mythological forms on the riverbank to keep them sharp.
In fact, Gibson taught some of his friends how to use the sword because he was well versed with the sharp weapon. Gibson often uses it when training with his father—One— at Grey House.
"Good, swing like that. Make your wrists flexible and accustomed when grasping them. Do not let the sword fall or you are considered defeated" Gibson said as he twisted the Elf sword that had been sharpened by Rangga with the others so that it looks beautiful.
"Lookin?" ryan asked who still looked doubtful, but did not despair to try even though the sword was still out of hand.
"Yes, right. Strengthen your grip again. You must assume that the sword is your protector. You won't let the enemy take it and take it down. You have to defend it, Ryan," Gibson said, staring at his friend intently.
"How do we know if our attack is lethal to the opponent?" ask Rex who is practicing by trying to use Lady Elf's spear and how to stab.
"Use tree trunks. Come on, come with me. Tonight, we strengthen the physique to face the next enemy. I've assumed, what we're doing is not just a game anymore, but a life-and-death war" Gibson said.
Practically, Gibson's remarks made the children nod justifying with a serious face. They are motivated to strengthen themselves so as not to lose and no more friends are killed.
Gibson taught how to stab, swing a sword from several sides to slash the opponent's body, slash, and several other techniques.
Seen, the kids are excited. They were faced with a single tree of choice as an opponent.
Gibson also taught him to utilize the body of a great opponent by making it a repulsion, footing, pedestal, or even shield.
"Well, why didn't we do this a long time ago? Perhaps our dead friends could survive if they had a fighting technique like you, Gibson," Aaron panted as he learned how to climb with the sword in his grip and not fall.
"I originally wanted to do it. However, at that time I felt if we were able to survive because the cooperation was quite slick. It's just that, after going through several levels with different enemies, I began to realize that this game requires not only luck, but also ability, courage, guts, ingenuity, patience and a strong physique," he replied with sweat dripping along while holding on to the tree trunk after successfully climbing up.
"yeah. I think you're right, Gib. I also slowly realized this. We are forced to change so that we are not weak anymore. At first it felt so cruel, but after going through some obstacles, I began to get used to it," said Bara who also learned to climb with Gibson and Aaron.
"good. Next, do not let your guard down and stay alert. Our enemies are powerful beings with unusual abilities. However, we have also begun to understand the changing abilities of each mythology including those of other friends. The point is, we have to work together" he said steadily.
The children who heard him agreed. They train diligently like they do not look tired even though they have to drink several times.
At first glance, training at night was like at the Chinese Military Camp established by Commander Zeno in his time.
The difference is, this time they train because of a demand to stay alive until the level mission is completed.
The Oag headquarters.
The tentacled alien made it back to his planet safely with seven revived human children.
Jubaedah and others are still under the influence of hypersleep. However, Oag kept his promise. He woke them up and allowed to see the struggles of his surviving friends.
"What?! Laika dead? Azumi too!" pekik Jubaedah immediately glared when the female-type red-patterned alien informed him.
"Just watch and don't make a fuss" the alien insisted, leaving the room where the children were locked up until the winner of Maniac's game was found.
"You ready?" asked Jubaedah, and all the children nodded slowly.
Jubaedah seemed to be regulating his breathing. He moved his index finger on the flat board to select the impressions.
The children looked amazed until their mouths were gaping because it turned out, there were many events that they missed.
"Oh, Juby! What about the after-death show? I wonder how it goes!" pinta Pasha, and the other children nodded in agreement.
"Em, okay. Wait ... it .. if not wrong ... Juby's in .. Well, here we go!" the thrill with eyes moved to the various display screens before them.
A wall of stone is large and flat like it can emit light in the form of television shows.
PIPS!
"That's Cerberus? It's spooky!" oscar shouted straight away.
"Hihi was afraid," the sweet girl whined like she was about to cry.
"Don't be afraid. We're just watching not being there for real. If Hihi is there, it can be crying," said Jubaedah, but the little girl was really scared.
Hihi used his two hands to close his eyes like he was not ready to see the show.
"Okay, I'm ready. Play, Juby!" pinta Bobby is impatient.
Instantly, the faces of all the children tensed up. They saw Rex and others crying as Jubaekah was devoured by a lava river and killed him.
Jubaedah looked pale as if he felt the heat of the lava when burning his body so that he could only accept death and his life was taken.
The food presented in front of them was ignored because the eyes of the children were so focused on seeing the struggle of friends who still survive.
Hihi shouted repeatedly while looking at the horror scene in his eyes. Tina and the others were aghast at the cry of Hihi.
"Ryan's hand is broken!" yell Hihi hysterically. All the children scrunched their faces as if they could feel the pain.
The face that was originally tense then turned into sorrow. Hihi cries as she watches Rex mourn the death of her lover including the other children. However, Jubaedah was moved because her lover looked so in love with her.
"Rexy, I love you!" yell Jubaidah while doing a long-distance kiss bye.
"Don't give up! Come on, you can!" tina's shout cheered her friends who looked down.
"Gibson's cool. Hihi likes a strong and smart guy like Gibson, "Hihi blushed in embarrassment when he saw Gibson motivating his friends to keep fighting.
"Cieh, Hihi anjen deh," ledek Jubaedah while poking his chin. However, Hihi even giggled while holding her blushing cheeks.
Tension after tension made the children's hearts seem to explode. However, followed by grief and sadness, making their faces back in tears.
Oag and the scientists who looked out the window watching the children just smiled faintly.
"They're pretty impressive" praised Oag, who began to improve after treatment.
"Yes. Including the children who survive. Look, they are like grown men now. This game, changing the way the teenagers think and behave," said the General.
"Yes, you're right. Keep your eyes on them. There's something I need to do" Oag pinta left the control center.
The general nodded slowly. The adult humans observing the seven children in the special room were like discussing something with each other. The general realized this and looked at his people closely.
"What are you guys thinking?" ask General.
"I admit, even though they are descendants of the mafia, but .. they can save the Earth in the future. Have you ever heard the term, 'Fruit doesn't fall far from the tree?'" asked one of the female archaeologists. The general nodded. "The children seem destined to be the chosen ones. What if they were born of criminals? Who knows, when they grow up, those teenagers become heroes not following in the footsteps of their predecessors."
The General looked back at the children sharply, then turned to the scholars again.
"Do you believe them?" asked the General, and the scientists nodded steadily. The General took a deep breath. He seemed to think about it seriously. "We'll see. If any of them manage to escape to level 10, I will rethink your request to give them a chance to save Earth in the future."
Seen, the faces of the scholars sparkled. They have high hopes for the next generation of Earth where there is a hidden purpose and a big reason why they were sucked into the planet Mythology.
The boys even had to live a life-and-death game called Maniac even though until now they did not know the reason.
