When I was at home....
"Sister, want to go to work?" Ask Rena.
"Yes, is there something you want Brother to buy?"
"That's Loh... Brother, can you take a day off tomorrow?" Ask Rena.
"It could be, brother can take a day off at any time."
"That means tomorrow we go for a walk, dong," said Reno who again spirit.
"Where are you going?"
"Huh.. kaku forgot what day tomorrow is," said Rena a little annoyed.
"Wednesday, what other day is it?"
Instantly both cheeks of the twins bloated with an annoyed face.
"Hehe, kidding, where maybe Big Brother can forget my sweet Brother's birthday. Don't worry, tomorrow we go to the amusement park after that we go eat pizza."
While rubbing the heads of his two sisters, and immediately the look on the face of his twin sister turned bright.
"Horeee..!"
...•••...
...•••...
...•••...
Back to the dungeon....
At first glance the light entered slowly in the darkness and the light grew bigger and illuminated all the views so that it made the vision blurred, he blinked several times his eyes so that everything was clear.
"Eh? I'm alive.. argh..!"
He involuntarily moved himself and immediately felt pain again.
"Oh yes, I asked them to enter the gate guarded by the monster. I hope they're okay."
...•••...
On the other hand the rest of the party members headed to their respective gates. Seven people seven gates.
THE GULP!
"Must I come in here, there's a monster guarding it..."
Susan who stood right at the gate was guarded by a monster armed with whips and she trembled, but recalled Arkha's words that they would all be fine.
"Alright, spirit!"
He walked swiftly to the gate, past the monster who stood without looking up in the slightest, he continued to walk forward and he also closed his eyes as he passed the monster.
Old Man Adrian Handaru headed to the gate guarded by a sword-wielding monster. He continued without any hesitation.
For the bespectacled woman Zara, she went towards the gate guarded by a spear-armed monster. At first he doubted.
"Is this really safe?" Her thought.
But, seeing his state like this, he immediately ran in regardless of the monster.
The rest of them entered their respective gates.
When they were already inside, all that was seen was a long hallway decorated with torch flames that lit up every corner. They kept walking until something was seen at the other end.
A ladder with seven steps, on it was a large container there.
They climbed one by one the stairs until they reached the top.
"Isn't this... cup?"
There was a small object resembling everyday objects and beside it were two long burning torches.
"So this is what Mr Peteng means."
They immediately dripped their blood on the cup. One or two drops fall.
And...
Oh wow!!
"What-what?!"
Suddenly there was a great fire coming from the cup and it flowed down this long hallway like a river flowing. The fire continued to flow until the end of the gate and after exiting, it still continued to walk until it led to the stone that this dying man was leaning against.
...•••...
"I'm completely helpless..."
This man pondered his fate which was very bad and he remembered the dream told by most people.
"Dream yes. hehe, I really don't have any. But, if I make it out of here, then the dream that I have to have. becomes the top."
[First condition has been fulfilled.]
"I'm really confused.., the path I took didn't change the slightest bit of my fate. I want to change this stupid fate, so that my two sisters do not suffer. I want so much like those who are strong, rich, and not looked down upon."
[Second requirement has been fulfilled.]
"I'm really a coward, all this time I've been helped especially Susan. He even always bought Rena and Reno clothes when I couldn't afford anything but food, and this time I was still helped by him. Hehe.. I'm totally dependent on him."
[Third condition has been fulfilled.]
"What does this sound keep echoing in my head, is this a pre-death hallucination?"
He raised his eyes with difficulty and saw something approaching him.
"Eh! What's that?!"
Feeling that something was very dangerous for him, he tried to get up but unfortunately his severe injuries had to make him stay still on the spot.
"No! Don't...!"
The closer, the closer and...
"YAHHH!!!"
"Arkha!"
Because of that shout, they rushed out of the gate. Worry ruled over them so they passed the monster just like that.
"No! Aarkha...!"
Panicked Susan saw him, she rushed towards the blaze.
"DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!!!"
Someone shouted from inside the blaze, but this woman did not want to hear it she continued to advance there without caring for the warning.
But...
"Are you crazy!"
Someone pulled himself back and it turned out to be Zara.
"Do you want to die too, huh!"
"But Ark..."
"He can no longer be saved!"
"No! I have to save-"
BLAM!
Someone hit him from behind.
"Sorry Susan..."
The one who hit him turned out to be Adrian, he asked Zara to guard him temporarily and advance to the blaze.
"Mr Peteng, thank you."
He said as he lowered his body forward, he said it with a heavy heart and could not bear to see this tragedy.
But something thrown at him came from inside the blaze and it was a bag of something, and it was protected by Mana so it didn't catch fire either.
"Sir..please..give her...this to her...."
Adrian was wide-eyed and still lowered his body, he could not see him anymore and said:
"Don't worry, I'll give it to her."
After that short conversation, a light immediately gathered on the stone and it flew straight towards their back.
"What's that?"
Suddenly the light formed a very large circle.
"That's.., that's the portal!"
Instantly the look of a hopeful face appeared and they rushed out of here and Adrian held Susan, a moment already in front of the portal he turned around.
"Thank you."
...•••...
A moment outside....
"Look! The portal's popping up again."
Everyone gathered and watched the re-emergence of the portal.
"Look! Something's popping up."
Everyone was shocked because the people who were exploring this dungeon were now seven people.
"Everything get away from the portal, quick!"
Instructions of people dressed in black suits gathered in front of the portal, they lined up to form a human fortress so that no one would barge in.
"The medical team's here fast, someone's hurt here."
The medical team from the government came with an ambulance, they brought the unconscious Susan into the ambulance.
"Are you Adrian Handaru, Raid's team leader?"
A man in black clothes approached her.
"Yes, it's me."
"We are from the association of the security bureau, now you can rest with your members, the rest let us take care of."
"Alright, accept ka-" at once a look of surprise was plastered from her. "Sir! Can I ask you something?!"
"Yes, say."
"One of the members who came with us is still in there!"
Zara who was beside him was shocked and he wanted to open his voice, but he decided to shut up, because he saw the eyes of his chairman who still believed that the man was still alive. Although he was sure that the man could not survive anymore.
"What! Is there still one inside?"
"Yes! He made time for us to get out. Please save him, sir!" Said while bowing.
"All right, we'll help him. Please stand up for yourself, we'll save her as much as possible."
"Thank you very much, sir."
The man in black clothes simply nodded and went to gather all his members to immediately enter this portal.
"Sir, please come with me to conduct an examination."
Someone in a white suit approached him, asking that Adrian and all his members be taken to the hospital to be examined, whether there are internal injuries or something like that.
They boarded an ambulance and Susan lay unconscious in the middle.
"Sir, why do you say that, where could he be...."
"Yes I know, but at least they found the body or the ashes. So that makes it clear everything for this girl."
He said as he stared at this unconscious girl. Everyone was contemplating themselves, they did not believe that they could still escape this nightmare. Even if you have to sacrifice someone to be safe.
