The Alternative/Overwatch
Panthera vs Apocalypse (Part III)

(Viewing angle: Naava)

After everyone got into the carriage and headed to the battlefield. I also went to the underground prison which was close to the mining site. I had to wait about 5 minutes for the next train.

Whether this will be a win for Panthera or not, I still can't even predict it. Our opponent is the Dark Dynasty. Although we have advanced technology and abundant natural resources. Can we keep up. Can we at least survive? Even so at least get help about 1-2 % alone is very helpful. Because it's....

Without me knowing the train was in front of me. I went in and found a comfortable seat. The next stop was the Panthera dungeon.

This is the second time I have entered the Panthera kingdom's dungeon. The first time I came here I was really surprised and felt stuffy down here. There are no prisoners in here. That is because the rules and rights of the citizens of Panthera are maintained in a balanced manner. Therefore, the citizens of Panthera became very loyal to the kingdom. The possibility of being an inmate here is an outsider and that was hundreds of years ago. All that remains are names and memories for those who remember them.

The prison was made like a passageway that could possibly be up to 30-40 meters long. On each side of the left and right of the passageway there are resistance cells that are approximately 5 x 5 meters wide for each cell. At the very end of the hall is a cell facing the entrance. I walked closer to the cell.

In that cell there was no one. There was only a golden cube that was already dusty. The four-corner land prison, the cube that Gen gave me before we parted ways in the Assassin Islands. The cube became a stepping stone to the Panthera throne and one of the reasons why Chad was overthrown.

"alright... " I put my prints on the scan board near the right lip of the door. The scan board also received my access. The door opened by itself. I walked closer to the cube. I picked up the cube and I found a piece of paper on one of the ribs. Because I was curious I pulled the paper and opened the contents. It's written

If you want to open this cube, just turn one side of the 4-angle prison cube.

I know it's a handwriting from Gen. His left-handed handwriting that I think is unique. I still remember her when we were both disguised as students of the assassin academy in the Assassin Islands back then.

"Geez, he wrote this. Take it easy, I'll take you home." I said kiss the paper gently and put it in my skirt pocket.

I turned one side of it like a rubik. The golden cube slowly glowed brighter and brighter. The cube suddenly enlarged and almost made the prison cell that surrounded it almost disintegrate. I even bounced out of the prison cell I see now like a cardboard that was exposed to water.The paper given had come out of my pocket. I picked up the paper again but I could see that there was writing on the other side of the passage that I read earlier that said :

Oh yes I'm forgetfulness!! Be careful, the cube will widen***** to about 1 x 1 meter****** when you have played one of its sides. Make sure you open it in a large place.

"Why did you write such an important thing behind the basic paper?!!" I grumbled with annoyance. I found the message paper to look like garbage and put it in my pocket rough.

The cube opens like a disassembled origami. I saw a man shackled by his neck, hands, and feet kneeling and stretching out his arms as if he were being crucified. Even the sword Gen thrust out was still stuck in his chest. I knew how much it hurt and holding the sword stuck for more than 5 minutes made my heart hot.

"With a hunk of Oovrloed rock from our mine as DP to my head." I said sarcastically. The man then looked at me closely.

"Heh, since we last met you look like a stray cat to be found on the street. I love the way you look now. What do you want?" Ask the man after chuckling.

"I want to borrow your powers as a pem-yn from TSO to fight Apocalypse, Killhunger." I said. Geez the term from the Alters really made my tongue sprain.

"Haha. You natives can't even pronounce the word "player" correctly. Well I accept your offer." he said steadily. Excuse me, shouldn't that be what you said?! And without me realizing the face looked like a lunatic after hearing the answer from Killhunger.

"Why?" Killhunger asked innocently.

"That's my line, woi!!! How can you accept my offer so quickly?! You haven't even listened to what I can offer!" Shake me up with annoyance. Killhunger looked at me with a slanted smile as if my reaction was a natural reaction. Is he playing me?

"The situation has changed. That'sthat's all. The first reason I agree is, I don't want to be any different from Valon the Dragnel. Do you see what he's doing to me like this? I could hardly even breathe at all times because of this sword that pierced me. With me in Valon's arms, he'll certainly use me like a killing machine. That way I can be free to do my hobby as a PK. And lastly, I haven't been paid by the Apocalypse side. Therefore, it seems like it's the right opportunity to get them to pay me."

Killhunger. Hearing his last reason surprised me. So he had also dealt with the Apocalypse?!

"You ever been in contact with them?" My toot.

"That was right before I came to the Assassin Islands to kill you. On the Ice Plains, belonging to Alice. But the Elf woman said she would pay me even if I failed. But even to this day I have not got anything. Even though he didn't save me at least he paid me. So how? Pretty convincing?" Ask. I still doubt, I'm afraid he has a hidden intention. But if we don't get help from Alter then we'll be done.

"For the moment. I can trust you." I said. I pulled out the sword that stuck in Killhunger's chest. The 4-corner prison collapsed. The chains shackling the Killhunger were also detached from him. Killhunger was still on his knees as if he was giving me respect.

"Thank you for trusting me. My Queen." Said. Whether it was for acting or not but he obviously bowed to me. I don't want to waste any more time. It's been about 11 minutes since Yuna and I separated. I'd better get to the battlefield.

"I will inform you of my plans to prevent any fatalities on Panthera's part. I'll tell you in the car. Now come on, follow me." I said I started walking out of the prison hallway.

"Well Queen Panthera." Killhunger's response followed me from behind. We got into the train immediately.
