TWELVE RING SYSTEM
047 - BEYOND COMMON SENSE

"Leo, Milan, are you all right?"

Rome drew closer to the bars of the cell and looked up from there. He looked towards the bars of Leo who was next to Milan.

Roma are trying to call Milan. He was worried that something would happen to him.

The executioners tortured them mercilessly, it was clear that his friends would feel pain. The prison room was empty, only guards were standing guard at the front door.

This made Rome free to talk to both of her friends.

Looks like the charade sacrificed both of his friends to make them tormented so.

"Leo! Leo, you hear me?! Leo!" rome choked again, but Leo still sprawled motionless.

Their bodies felt crushed inside out as the executioners forced out the power of the Star Ring from inside their bodies.

Roma is not lying, he can still feel the mana belongs to Milan and Leo even though it is very thin and faint.

Like him, the power of the Star Ring belonging to Milan and Leo has also been fused into his blood so difficult to remove.

It's almost impossible. Releasing the power of the CIncin Star was tantamount to killing its user.

Suddenly Milan's body began to move. Roma felt very happy when they found out that Milan had been aware and did not continue to faint.

"Milan, how's your body? Is the Star Ring still there?!" ask Tere to panic.

Milan nodded. He leaned his back against the cell wall and smiled faintly.

There was blood on the corner of her lips, it seemed like the woman had accidentally injured her inner lips.

Milan chuckles miris. "You're right. I feel like my bones are crumbling and can't be used. Ah, where's Leo?!"

"There's a cell next to yours. Looks like he's still passed out."

Milan then banged on Leo's cell bars to raise the black cat.

Not long after that, Leo heard a cry. Rome was relieved to see that the black cat had finally come to its senses.

"Leo! Holy hooch! I'm glad you're alive!" screeches Tere.

"Yes, I'm also glad to see you're still alive despite the terrible conditions" said Leo, who was grinned by a small laugh from Rome.

Rome grimaced, as if one bone had been broken each time she spoke. The condition of his body is very alarming.

Although Roma, Milan and Leo look fine on the outside just because their faces are pale. But not with the inside of his body. They felt their bones blushing broken just to breathe.

"How are you doing, Roma?" ask Leo. The black cat crawled closer towards the bars.

"I'm fine, I can even dance now" Roma lied. He could no longer feel both of his legs. His body felt crushed.

"Then dance for us" sambar Milan. "I need some entertainment."

"I won't do it without getting paid" continued Rome.

The four of them then laughed incessantly thinking about the continuation of their fate that had been confined in the cell.

"They tortured Palermo very badly" said Roma who made his three friends speechless.

Only Roma heard Palermo Mancini's screams echoing as Leo and Milan were still knocked unconscious.

"Is he still alive?" milan whisper.

Rome shook thinly. "I don't know, I hope he can still survive."

"We have to get out of this place, Rome. We can't rot here" said Leo, leaving Roma silent.

His brain was trying to figure out how they could escape.

However, the cells they inhabited seemed to be immune from the power of any Star CIncin, so Rome could not get out from within the cell using its power.

"This cell is too sturdy, we can't get out with the power of the CIncin Star."

The three friends then fell silent. They also had no other way to get out of this place.

"So, we can't get out using the power of the Star Ring?"

Roma shook their heads to answer Milan's question.

"Then do not need to go out using force" said Leo who made Rome immediately have an idea.

"Wait a minute! I think I have a great idea!" pekik Romans.

It's like he's got a little spit in his life.

A little hope not to die rotting in this place. Rome then focused her mind and asked for help on the System.

This is where the Raffa clan is special. Rome had a skill to forge the power of the Star Ring.

Rome learned of it shortly after the sect master came to the eagle guild and gave her a magic spell book.

The magic spell book was a relic from his grandfather.

[Savement successfully done]

"Successful!"

Rome squealed in excitement. He would forge the power of the three CIncin Stars and store it in the storage of the System he had already forged.

 Then, keep the original CIncin Star power deep inside so that no one can find it but himself.

Rome wiped the sweat that fell on the temple. He made the false Star Ring to be as similar as possible to the real one. With 90 percent accuracy, Roma makes the ring difficult to distinguish from users who do not use the Star Ring.

After a night of making the Ring of Stars, Rome told her plans to her two friends. They devised a strategy to trick the cell guards.

"Don't let the executioners know of this plan!" roma said to his two friends.

They agreed to pretend to limp and endure all the torture given by the executioners later.

Not long after, the main door of the cell opened and the executioners began to go inside.

The executioners then dragged them one by one out of the cell and carried them into the basement.

As they had agreed, Roma and his companions endured all the torture the executioners had inflicted.

If you can be honest, actually the body of Rome was on the verge of the limit when the executioners drew the power of CIncin Bintang.

However, he had to endure the torment until it was over.

Before long the fake Star Ring that Rome made was pulled out and the executioner immediately took it to the emperor.

"What are we doing?" ask the executioner to one of the other executioners.

"Let them rot here!" exclaim the executioner.

Then Roma and his fainting friends were brought back into the cell.

The executioners then left without making sure the cell door was closed perfectly with a spell.

The executioners left a slight gap that could be penetrated by Rome and her friends. Because the executioners thought that they had been weak and could not possibly rise.

Too bad it happened just the opposite. Rome flashed a triumphant smile as the executioners were gone and left the four of them in the cell.

"My plan worked!" pekik Rome happy.

Milan and Leo who pretended to faint then woke up and exclaimed happily.

"You can walk, right?" ask Roma to make sure.

Milan nodded thinly with Leo on his shoulders. The condition of the black cat was the most severe among the two of them.

"How are you doing, Leo?" ask Rome to Leo.

"It looks like my legs are still limp and my life is four," said Leo who can still make jokes.

Roma thinks Leo's cat is fine because he can still joke like that.

They then recovered the goods' power for a moment. Rome did not decide to rush out.

He didn't want to be thrown back into the cell and completely rot in this place.

So, Rome decided to wait for the night time to come for them to escape

"We have to wait here until nightfall. If we go out now, there will be many members of the palace who see us and we will definitely be thrown again into the cell," said Roma who were told to agree with Milan and Leo.

"So, we wait here until nightfall? All right, no problem." Milan stretched his body. His body is better than yesterday.

One of the advantages of Star Ring holders is that their physical condition recovers faster than most normal humans.

Although yesterday their bodies could barely move due to being forced to unleash the power of the Star Ring, but thanks to the genius idea of Rome their bodies were not too tormented.

"What happened to Palermo, huh?" milan asked, breaking the silence.

The condition of the Roman body was a little different. Milan and Leo are feeling better, but not Roma. His body still felt exhausted from making the fake Star Ring power and making new storage on the system. It almost dredged all of his remaining energy.

"Come on, I hope he's okay" Leo said.

"Your face is very pale, Rome," said Milan when he found Rome only speechless with a deathly pale face. "You okay?"

Rome nodded thinly. "Yes, I'm fine. Just being limp from faking the power of the Star Ring wasn't easy."

Milan smiled faintly, "Thank you for saving us. You're a real genius, Roma, you can fake the Star Ring with near-perfect accuracy. Until the emperor did not realize it even until this second."

Milan's right. It's been a few hours and no one has come back here and protested with the power of the fake Star Ring he gave.

No one realized that Rome had tricked them all, including the emperor.

"The power of your last name is not really playful" said Leo who made Rome smile knot.

"You guys envy me, don't you?"

"Of course, stupid! I envy your powers that are beyond my senses, "soon Leo again. "But, besides all that, I'm really happy to know you as a friend."

Roma and Milan fell silent to Leo's sudden different speech.

"Have you eaten wrong? Your words sound not like Leo the grumpy cat," said Milan who was immediately rewarded with a snarl Leo.

"It looks like the executioner hit the back of my head a little hard."

The three of them then laughed inside that special prison. They waited for the right time to get out of that terrible place and waited until where they were filled back up.

Until a few hours later when Roma felt the moon was at its highest point, he just felt the environment was safe.

"It looks like we are safe" said Roma as he waved his hand telling his two friends to hurry up.

Rome led the way in front, he skidded towards the main door and made sure there were no guards at the door.

And sure enough, there was no one guarding the prison door, it seemed the emperor thought that they were already confirmed dead.

Unfortunately, the emperor was wrong. Rome was slipping out of prison and walking down the silent hallway of the palace.

Rome did not know where the palace exit was because it was so big. Rome just follows where her instincts lead.

Until then his instinct took him to a field with a building in the middle. At once Rome was tickled by curiosity.

"What is this place?" ask Milan.

"It looks like this place is a place of research" said Rome then walked over.

"Hey, Rome! What the hell are you doing?! Don't go near there!" leo whispered with great emphasis.

But Rome did not listen at all to the words of the cat Leo. Rome continued to approach the research site.

"The mood! Get back here!" choking Milan with a stifled voice.

Rome did not heed the words of her two friends. He just kept walking closer because he felt familiar with the technologies that were there.

 Then sure enough, his guess did not miss. Rome's shoulders instantly limp as soon as they see the technology that is there.

"What is this horrible place?" hisses Leo did not believe what he saw.

The humans in the tube contained some sort of liquid, and a lot of little children were hung up like an animal with a lot of hoses stuffing their mouths and noses.

Milan closed his mouth when he saw the horror that was in front of his eyes.

"Who made an experiment like this?!" milan.

"This is not an experiment anymore" said Roma in a tone of disbelief.

"You mean?"

"It's not an experiment anymore, Milan. This is a murder because the people here are already confirmed dead. They were just used as containers to test the Star Ring."

"Trializing? What do you mean, Rome?" push the cat Leo.

"Do you see that engine over there?" Rome pointed to an enclosed space where a giant machine was circling a bluish-red light in the middle. The light shimmered with splashes of magic mana. "They're trying to make a Star Ring."

Milan and Leo held their breath. The place they were in was a research place to produce the power of the Star Ring in order to make everyone strong in a short period of time.

"W-how do you know all this, Rome?" asked Milan in a stifled voice.

I really didn't think there was such a horrible place. Moreover, they use real humans to test the power of their Star Ring.

The humans in this place are like being used as a container to see how far the power of the Star Ring can function.

"I know because this technology used to belong to my family" Roma explained.

Immediately the mind of Rome was consumed by anger and wrath because the technology owned by his family was seized and then misused by the emperor like this.

"Our family? Then did your family make the Star Ring?" milan did not understand.

"No, it's not like that, my family is just developing its potential. Not to produce the power of CIncin Bitang like this and used on just anyone."

Leo let out a breath, "Emperor like intentionally wanting to create an army that has the power of the Star Ring. That army must be the strongest army and hard to defeat."

Rome agreed. The young man clenched his hands tightly. He was furious to learn that Emperor Salerno De Santis had stolen his family's technology and abused it.

"I will never forgive that emperor!" roma said with a tone of anger.

Rome has never heard of this technology since her family did not exist. He even forgot that his family had this kind of technology.

When he saw a very familiar gunij from behind the curtain, Rome immediately recognized the technology he was very familiar with when he was a child.

A machine for the Ring of Stars, and Rome is further enraged when it learns the technology belonging to her family was apparently stolen by the emperor Salerno De Santis.

"Then what are you going to do now, Roma?" ask Milan.

Rome does not know. He really doesn't know what he's going to do now. To be sure, Rome is now being consumed with anger and wrath.

It feels like Rome wants to flatten this palace with its inhabitants. Without Roma knowing it, he unleashed the power of the Star Ring to make Milan and Leo step back.
