Dagger

After the array finished up healing the trio, Allen lied down to the ground and slept, now, there was a hole on the clothes that he was wearing, but no injuries.

"Hold on, don"t move yet.", the old man added.

Kate didn"t move out of her original position and sat down. Each of the stone coins floated in front of the trio, making the girl curious.

Beams of light then came out of the coins and hit the forehead of each of the trio. Kate touched her forehead to check if there was something wrong.

"You three now own and can control those coins.", the old man said.

"Thank you!", Kate immediately replied. The arrays that the coins formed were extremely powerful, even the dragon earlier couldn"t break through it"s shield cage, and only took a thin beam of light from the Death Ray to kill the beast.

"Don"t mention it, just take it as a gift.", the old man said.

After a pause, he reminded, "Your bodies are still too weak to handle the strength of those arrays, so it"s best not to use it until you three grow up."

"We won"t.", Kate said.

"Then go and find the treasure you seek of, I"m sure the dragon"s treasure wouldn"t be that few.", the old man said. The dragons were innately greedy even before the t.i.tans went extinct, just after the latter was gone that they exploded out. There should be a lot of items that this particular dragon collected for the past years.

"Search for some secret mechanism or b.u.t.ton on the walls.", the old man added.

"Okay.", Kate went to work and searched for the mechanism, though it would probably take a but long because the cave was just too wide.

After which, the old man looked at Allen and inwardly sighed, "The kid"s both lucky and unlucky at the same time to have that weapon."

Finally, the projection faded away.

...

Almost an hour later, Drake slowly woke up and sat down. He then saw Allen sleeping beside him, and noticed a hole on his clothes.

Drake then held his head and tried to remember what happened, "Cave... golem... darkness... dragon!"

As soon as he said the last word, he looked around him, and saw Kate from afar touching a wall.

"Kate!", Drake called out.

Kate heard Drake"s call, the former immediately approached the latter and checked if there"s anything wrong on his body.

"Nothing, but where"s the dragon?", Drake asked.

"It"s dead.", Kate said.

"How did it die?"

After which, Kate explained everything what happened from the appearance of the array, to the dragon"s disintegration.

"Oh... then why is there a large hole on Allen"s clothes?", Drake asked.

Kate hesitated at first, but in the end also explained everything what she has saw.

Drake was caught off guard what he has just heard, and even asked Kate if she was hallucinating at that time or not, however, the girl said she wasn"t. In addition, she also told about the time that the array healed the three of them.

The boy looked at the sleeping Allen and expressed his thanks.

"Help me find the secret mechanism on the walls.", Kate said.

Drake didn"t need anymore explaination and just nodded in response. After which, he and Kate splitted up.

***

The familiar ceiling, the familiar walls, and even the familiar softness of the bed. Those what Allen saw and felt as he woke up in his bedroom.

"Wait, I was in the dragon"s lair!", realizing where he was, Allen sat up and held his head in distress.

"I"m back?", Allen asked himself.

-bam-

"Eeek...!", Allen screeched in surprise as he looked towards the door.

"Big brother! Get up and let"s eat breakfast!", William shouted towards Allen. The latter only looked at the former for a long time and didn"t respond.

"What are you looking at? Let"s go eat breakfast!", Drake pulled Allen"s hands to make him stand up.

Allen snapped out of his stupor and said, "You go on first, I"ll just catch up."

"Alright.", William ran out of the room and went downstairs.

"What just happened?", Allen grasped his head.

"I think I should care about it later."

...

Allen walked downstairs, went to the kitchen and saw William eating porrage.

Allen looked at his hands and saw that he was holding a knife.

"Why am I holding a knife?", Allen thought.

Suddenly, his body moved on it"s own accord, out of his control!

Allen felt that he knew where this was going and tried to resist.

"No... NO...! NO! STOP!" Allen shouted in panic, however, he could only shout within his inner thoughts. During those thoughts, Allen"s body has already stopped in front of William.

"Oh? Big brother, what"s the matter?", William asked.

Everything that happened next wasn"t needed to be explained.

Finally, Allen got control of his body, however, his knees immediately fell to the ground and hugged his little brother.

There was blood splattered everywhere in the kitchen, making one feel a chill on their back.

"d.a.m.n it, why?! Why?!", Allen shouted as blood also sticked on his clothes. He could still hear the pitiful wails of his little brother on his ears.

Suddenly, he heard the laughs of the devils echoing through his ears.

This nightmare was worse than getting killed in his dreams by the vengeful soul of the man.

***

Allen panted heavily as his eyelids opened in an instant. Sweat trickled down from every parts of his body.

"Whew, you"re awake! You were shouting like a lady!", Drake who was sitting beside Allen, joked.

"Another nightmare?", Kate asked. She and Drake knew that Allen has been getting nightmares since he killed that man. Every night when they start sleeping in the camp, or even back at Lord Levine"s villa, they could hear the boy"s begs of mercy at his sleep.

And even though the vengeful soul of the man was attacking Allen in his sleep, it was only in his dreams and not in reality, that"s why the holy power that Lord Levine inserted in the kid"s body didn"t act.

Allen didn"t say anything and just closed his eyes to relax. Drake and Kate didn"t do anything and waited for Allen to open his eyes again.

When Allen opened his eyes again, he didn"t say anything and just sat up, Drake and Kate also didn"t ask anything, as the issue was probably a bit personal for Allen.

"What are the two of you doing now?", Allen asked.

"Trying to find a mechanism, the treasure might be in a hidden compartment somewhere in this chamber.", Kate replied.

"But we already carefully searched for the mechanism on all the walls, but there was still nothing.", Drake added.

"Well then, the mechanism might either be on the floor or on the ceiling.", Allen quickly said.

"Why didn"t we think of that!?", Drake was enlightened.

"Come on, let"s go search for it on the floor first.", as Allen placed down his hand on the floor to support his body to stand up, the ground where his hand was on sunk a bit to the ground, after which, a click could be heard.

The nearest wall to them slowly opened up, and revealed a lot of treasures! Valuable minerals, gems, weapons, pearls, etc.

"What luck you have.", Drake and Kate made a thumbs up.

Allen: "..."

"Take out the extra bags from the satchels.", Kate said.

Drake and Allen took out the extra bags, they were also some sort of spatial treasures like the satchels, but it"s storage capacity was a bit shorter than the satchels.

After taking all the treasures in, they placed back the bags inside the satchels and exited through the tunnel where they entered earlier on.

Drake and Kate saw Allen"s dejected mood, the former suddenly said, "Don"t worry, we won"t tell anyone what you just did."

Allen nodded in response and thought, "Looks like it"s not a secret anymore."

"Why... did you block the dragon"s tail earlier? You almost died doing so!", Kate suddenly brought up the topic. They didn"t know about the matter about the stone coins at that time, so they could"ve really died.

"You"re the one who will die if I didn"t.", Allen replied. Kate was startled by Allen"s reply that her eyes widened a little.

"I care for the both of you.", Allen added.

Drake and Kate didn"t say anything and kept quiet.
