Meanwhile, the color of the portal gate in Gurdat Town has also started to change. Some of the inmates who are on site immediately rush to inform the others about the situation.“It’s changing!”“The color is changing!”Zircho immediately ran towards the dark room. As soon as he opened the large door, no one appeared in the sleeping pod.Some of his friends from the same group came over, followed by other inmates who came later.“Shit, he really did it. They survive for four hours inside the trial dungeon and clear the trial?!” Zircho mutters so lowly to himself.“Not only about surviving in the trial dungeon. We also found the trial dungeon in just three days, with Gordon and his gang hunting us out there,” says Zack who is just also coming over to that place.Gordon who is currently sitting at the end of the corridor hears Zack's words. Of course, he feels so ashamed currently. In fact, he intends to avenge what Azzim had done to him, believing that Azzim and his group would die in
The next day, the same figure comes to them again, bringing to replenish their Vitality.Dino, the only one who happens to be awake, lights his fire out so that he can see that mysterious person. But then he is shocked right after he sees the look of the mysterious figure, and his fire suddenly burst out and empties all of his mana supply.It wakes Azzim, but he didn’t get the chance to see that mysterious figure’s face.“I’ll see you later again,” says that mysterious figure as he leaves them.There is hardly any light coming in from outside, making it difficult for them to track the day. They don't know whether it is night or noon. The conditions in that prison are always damp and cold. Some of the wall has also been covered by mosses.Dino has consumed so much mana just to keep them warm by creating a small flame on his palm. When his mana is completely depleted, they have to endure the cold and dampness of the prison room again. At least, until Dino gathers his mana again from his
Now they are forced to restore their vitality first by consuming the food brought by that Toto guy. “It might take another two days before we can get back to our best condition. That’s only if we can get enough food every day. Azzim,” Leia explains. “Three days with this kind of food?” says Dino, looking uninterested with the food on the plate he holds. “If you want to eat meat, why don’t you just catch those rats and grill them,” says Azzim plainly “Rat? Nah, I’m okay with this,” Dino replies. “Don’t you know, rat meat slightly improves your mana regeneration for half a day, especially if you grill them with the fire you create using your own mana,” Azzim explains. “Really?” asks Dino curiously. “Wanna try?” Azzim taunts him. But Dino seems unsure for a moment, and then he starts eating his food. Of course that information attracts his attention for a bit since having a high mana regeneration is something that he needs right now. But if it has to be a rat, he can’t imagine him
Now, that hypothesis is also leading them to the background reason behind the trial they are undergoing. They start to doubt, if they are really inmates who are being sentenced with death penalty for being criminals, why would they have to undergo such kind of trial.Everything makes nonsense the more they try to understand it.“Hold on! Could it be that we are indeed criminals with this kind of abilities?” asks Dino.“Anything is possible,” replies Leia.It makes Dino and Hannah turn so quiet with that potential. Deep down, they still want to believe that they are not criminals, just as anyone else wants to be considered as a good person by others.Until suddenly, Azzim is chuckling and attracting their attention toward him.“Being criminal doesn’t always mean you are a bad guy entirely. Just like what is happening to us at the moment, to be put into prison for no reason. Those guards out there will see us criminals. And I’m telling you, don’t chicken out yet. We have the reason to k
Azzim just puts a plain face, and keeps going. He doesn’t care about them any slightest bit, since he knows they are just simulated creatures. He cares not what their motive to help him either.But it’s different with Dino and Hannah, who seem so care with those prisoners who have helped them so far.“Hey, what are you waiting for? They are coming this way!” Azzim informs those two inmates.Toto runs first ahead of them, not showing any emotion at his fellow Kelinianss who stay behind.“I’ll try to lure the other guards upstairs!” he says before leaving the other.Out of sudden, Toto’s movement becomes so fast, but not by faster step. Instead, he looks like using jumping steps with his rabbit feet, jumping around from floor to the wall and also to the ceiling.“Woah, I didn’t know he is that good,” says Dino, looking in awed with that Toto guy's quick movements.And so, those four inmates manage to get to the top floor by following Toto’s guide.It’s not even five minutes, Azzim alrea
But Leia ignores the description, since she knows that the unique skill effect on that weapon is currently active.She just heads to those satyr guards, jumps high as he is ready to deliver a powerful slam.“Azzim, jumps!” Leia issues.As Leia almost hits the ground, Azzim jumps following Leia’s command. Her slam releases a massive electrical shock, far stronger and wider than the electrical shock released by the vice warden before.It shocks those satyr guards. Those who have already wounded from previous fight, immediately die by that one single slam. But there are still so many satyr guards left inside the prison building.“Try to catch us if you dare!” Leia taunts them before taking everyone to leave that prison.After getting out of the prison gate, Hannah sees a war chariot with a few satyr warriors riding it. She immediately prepares for a shot, and takes aim.“Hey, forget about it!” says Dino.But Hannah releases the shot confidently. That one shot hit the one who control the
After they walk down the hill and get out of the forest, they are now walking down the road in a wide savanna with towering grasses, up to their waists. Some even reach their chest.For a moment, Toto stops and his left ear twitches a few times, as if he hears something. Toto silently looks around him. This invites Azzim's curiosity.“What is it?” asks Azzim.“I don't know. It's just a hunch,” replies Toto. “We'd better speed up our movement. We almost reached Wortelville.”After saying that, Toto starts to increase his speed, even though he doesn't appear to be running, Didi, Nery and Catty have trouble following him. They have no choice but to run so that they can follow Toto.Sometimes, Toto jumps quite high and looks around while he is in the air. And there, he sees some movement of some beasts, stalking them u
There are fields of carrots and cabbages surrounding each house. However, all those vegetables looked wilted. Even most of the plants already look dead from not getting enough sunlight. And there is one huge house at the end of the village under towering rocky hills. The house looks so much different than the other house. It almost looks like a temple, being illuminated by several yellow glowing crystals around its circular roof. Those crystals emit fluorescent light of moderate intensity, seeming to be the only source of light at the moment during the day when the sun is still covered by the eclipse. “Please, wait here for a moment! I’ll go inside to make a report to Granny Oja first,” says Toto to Azzim. Toto leaves Azzim and the others, going inside Granny Oja’s sanctuary. After waiting for a while, Toto comes out to invite Azzim and the others to enter. &nb
She is so afraid, doubting whether she is able to land safely after jumping that high. But Azzim is being occupied with all the wolves by himself. Only Toto alone, who is now on a tree branch, reacts to Hannah’s call.“It’s okay. If you are able to jump that high, it also means that you are able to land safely from that position.“Are you crazy? This is too much!”“Just make sure you land properly without twisting your ankle!”As Toto’s attention is averted by Hannah, that mysterious inmate attacks him in stealth. When Toto notices the incoming attack, that inmate’s wooden staff is already so close in front of his face.“Dush!”That one hit manages to send Toto to the ground. But then, one arrow appears toward that mysterious inmate. It’s just a normal arrow, since Hannah releases the shot without any preparation while she is still in mid air.That mysterious inmate manages to evade that arrow, but he can’t follow his previous attack to kill Toto. And so, Toto gets the chance to regro
She approaches Hannah and tells her what she just learned from that pair of unique boots. She looks at Hannah’s holographic text to see her current level and finds the problem with her situation. “Now this is a problem. It’s an active skill. You might need access to Skill Set Command so that you can learn and use this skill efficiently. But I believe you’ve skipped the option for that access, right?” says Leia. “I don’t think she really needs it. Just look at Toto,” Azzim interrupts. The three of them look at Toto, and Toto just puts on his clueless face, not knowing what they are talking about. Leia changes her mind a bit regarding the importance of accessing the Skill Set Command. She then takes off the boots and gives them back to Hannah. “You’d still need some time to adapt with the change. Even without using the skill, the item itself gives you an increase for agility and endurance to your leg for a long journey,” says Leia to Hannah. “Are you telling me that it’s okay to tak
However, unlike Dino, Hannah steps in as if she intends to volunteer herself. “Please, take me with you! You should already know that my observation skills are the best among our group.” “I acknowledge your observation skill,” Azzim affirms. “But I'm afraid you are going to slow us down. Despite being an agility-type warrior, the current you can't keep up with my pace and Toto.” It makes Hannah look so disappointed. She can't deny what Azzim just said. She thinks that the only way for her to progress is to push herself to do something more than she currently can do. And staying together with her mentor, who is one of the veterans, should be the best option for her. She has felt it herself, how much she has grown so far. “If I really have the talent to be an agility-type warrior, shouldn’t it be reasonable that I can adapt to your pace given time?” she asks. “I know it the most, how important it is for us to gain actual experience on the field. But look at the situation first. I’m
Those Kelinians have observed how Azzim and his friends fought against the army of the wolves. They acknowledge those inmates’ abilities. But still, they are winning in number.There are more than 30 melee warriors there, and exatcly 13 archers. But Azzim and Leia are still looking so calm with their situation. Only Toto alone who is looking so worried at the moment.He had witnessed Azzim’s madness when he cleared the sartyr guards in the prison before. Not to mention about Dino and Hannah’s combination attack which has the potential to wipe the entire legion.“You guys, hold yourself. We are not in a situation to create another enemies more than what we already have,” says Toto.“No way! There must be something between them and the one who controled the wolves,” says one of the Kelinians warrior.“We shouldn't have let them enter our village,” says the other.“If only Toto didn't bring them here, we won't...”“For sure you won't be able to survive this night,” Granny Oja suddenly in
Hannah is so shocked, not expecting such a huge firewall to appear. She doesn’t believe such a huge fire comes from Dino’s flame.“Wo, what the hell is that? What’s happening there?” asks Hannah cluelessly.“They must have filled the trench with some oils,” Azzim speculates.“Not at all. There’s no way we would waste that much oil only to create such a scene,” says one of the guards.“We only put dry straw and wood, with so many dry Blaconut shells at the bottom,” explains the other guard.“Blaconut shell?” asks Hannah curiously.“It is a type of coconut, but this one has a shell that contains a lot of gas, much more gas than normal coconut shells.”And indeed, that firewall really looks so weird. The fire is suddenly seen gushing out here and there due to the gusts of strong gas emerging from the burning Blaconut shells at the bottom of the trench.Despite how high the firewall is, those crazy wolves are still so eager trying to cross the trench. Even those who manage to cross it, ar
Right after they receive that news, those inmates rush to the village gate. Hannah becomes the first one to reach the gate, and immediately climbs the gate to join the other guard on the top. She observes all the wolves around the graveyard and at the edge of the savanna. She is so shocked, not only by the huge numbers of the wolves, but also by the strange person among the wolves. There’s one mysterious figure in a goat head mask wearing a dark ragged cloak who seems to be the only human being standing among those wolves. What’s more, Hannah sees a holographic letter above that mysterious figure’s head, citing The Loser No 37. “Don’t tell me?” she mumbles with an awry face. She swiftly snatches out one arrow from one of the guards who stands beside her, and immediately takes aim toward that mysterious figure. Her reckless action makes that guard startled. Suddenly, that guard tries to grab Hannah’s arrow, seeming to try to prevent her from starting a war without the leader’s comm
Granny Oja leaves the room toward the door where Toto is waiting outside.“Please, prepare our guests the best meal we have,” says Granny Oja.“Yes, Mam!” replies Toto.Granny Oja backs to her fireplace and sits there. She also offers them to have a seat in front of that fireplace, while she serves them tea. “To tell you the truth, this country is in trouble. I'm not saying this to ask for your understanding because of the guard's rude attitude. I’m telling you because I need your help.”“What kind of help?” asks Azzim.“Well, it’s a bit difficult to explain. I don’t know who you are, but the problem is beyond our capabilities to handle, to the point we seek help from something beyond our understanding. That is the solution given to me by that voice, a voice that I don’t even know who or what he is?”“But he indeed introduced himself as Bang Sat, right?” asks Leia.Lady Oja takes a deep breath once before giving her an explanation.“I’ve been telling fortune to people, but this is th
