The party went outside the northwest gate.Trif asked, "Hazel, where's this ruined castle supposed to be?""Hold on a second."She pulled the map out of her pocket and examined the map."It's up north, it's on top of a hill," she told him."How long would it take?""I'm not sure, but if I were to estimate, it'll probably be as long as our trip to Yato.""Alright. Let's continue on our journey then."They proceeded on their journey.......While traveling silently, Phize asked, "Oh, Hazel, you two did some shopping yesterday right?" "Yeah, what about it?""What did the two of you buy that took you so long?""Ah."She looked in front and relayed the supplies they had gotten, "We bought bandages, a bit of food, some water bottles, just the basics..."Oh, I understand."He stared in front of him, then a realization came to him."Hold up, couldn't we simply heal ourselves and produce the water? Should I tell her? I think she's forgotten that this is a magic world so there's really no ne

They climbed up the stairs.Step. Step.The sound of the steps they took echoed within the entirety of the castle. They reached the second floor and saw a dining table broken in half.They saw numerous bones spread across the whole room, some of them had armor chest plates, others with helms, some have both, while others have none at all.Rusting long swords were scattered along with the bones."Do we check each of the swords here?" Lili asked."Start searching from top to bottom. Let's leave that room for now," Trif replied.Hazel stared at the skeletons.She was shivering out of her mind and unconsciously grabbed Phize's arm out of fear."What's the big idea?" he asked frustratingly.'G-G-Ghosts. T-There are g-ghosts. I can h-hear them talking."She looked at an area of space above him then spoke, "You're less scary.""I-I'M SCARY???" he pondered."When did I ever get scary? Besides, ghosts don't exist, I already told you that didn't I?" he told her."I-I can hear their voices."Tri

Trif was starting to get worried, "H-Hey, t-this is seriously turning bad. Lili, can't you cast a barrier and annihilate this guy?" "Those only work on weak undead such as skeletons, I even cast a stronger spell on him this time," she answered. They were slowly backing off. "L-Let's think about this situation more thoroughly," Hazel suggested. "Lili, don't you have any stronger spells on you?" Phize asked. "I do, but it takes some time," she responded. "TIME IS TICKING LITTLE ONES!" Gilleut yelled. He took off his own skull and put it on his left hand. "HEADS UP!" He threw his head up in the air and swung his sword. Thump. It was almost like he played baseball with his own head, what was astonishing about this fact aside from its absurdity was his undeniably good aim without the use of his eyes. The head shot through between the two formed groups and all of them couldn't help but stare at the peculiar sight. While his head was spinning, he managed to lock his gaze on Hazel

"Did you all catch that?" Lili asked for confirmation."Yes, I think I got the basics down," Phize replied."Of course I did," Trif answered."Can we go for a test run?" Hazel asked her."No, we can't, did you forget all about our situation?""360 SECONDS!" Gilleut yelled."Tsk, we're running out of time," Trif worried."Alright, we have to do this in one try. The spell lasts for three whole minutes. Follow my lead," Lili commanded.Both of her hands were faced at Gilleut.She cast a spell, "ANGEL'S BLESSING!"Clouds gathered above her. A blinding beam descended upon the heavens and struck their opponent. White feathers seemed to appear from the beam."...CK."His hands twitched, but he reached a calm state almost immediately. It meant that the pain was tolerable.The rest of the party members faced their hands at him.They chanted all in unison, "ANGEL'S BLESSING!"The beam of light increased in radius, making it appear thicker. Countless more white feathers appeared."GAAAAAAAHHHHH!

All of them were down on the ground, injured severely, Phize was spiked by sharp pieces of rock in the left shoulder, in the knee, and in the stomach, he had a few scratches on his face, and bruises on his elbows. Hazel had stiff arms from the freezing ice, her left thigh had been pinned, as well as her right forearm. Lili's left hand is being crushed by a rock of decent size, with a weight that can't break bones or anything, but can be hard to lift with someone of normal physique, her left lower leg had been pinned by the debris of rock formation. Trif had his stomach spiked by the same kind of rock that had hit the others, his hand took the brunt of the damage from earlier, so it was weak, taking in the burning temperature of the fire and the toughness of the rock. "Sleeping on me? Can't have that, can we?" Gilleut provoked. He dashed to the fallen adventurers as fast as could. Barely anyone could lift a finger, except Trif, that particular technique he had hidden has kept him saf
