Chris stared at the sliced fruit... I mean, the mutilated body of the goblins, then he ticked his fingers, the dead body turn into dust and vanished into thin air. "Hmm... That"s fast." said Seito, rather surprised at their efficiency at "clean off" the goblins.
"Well, I"m quite surprised as well. I guess this guy had been thirsting for blood for too long... Goblin"s blood though." said Chris.
Then he gives a hand gesture indicates Sky to proceed to the next part. And so Sky starts stepping across the two walls which were used as a prison for the goblin, then he slashes open the other tall gate that separates them from the other part. Sky carefully stepped onto the boundary and walks into the part.
"Safe." said Sky. Then Chris and Seito followed him to that part.
On their front right are two parts of two times two meters square wall block which indicates its a dead end. In front of them is an open part with suspicious blue light, while at their left side is an open area with a layer of a gel-like substance that gives out purple gas.
"Ah... Poisonous gas." said so, Chris takes out a piece of face mask and gives it to Seito.
"Where"s mine?" Sky asked.
"You don"t need it." said Chris, with a slightly annoyed tone.
"What"s your choice?" Chris ask.
"Hmm... The path in the left side is definitely not safe while this path in front of us looks really suspicious." said Sky while having a deep thought.
Then a mouse sneaks out from the wall at the right side and runs to the path in front of them, as soon as the mouse contacts to the blue-ray, it starts burning on its own, and turned into ash in less than a three seconds.
"Do you have your answer now?" said Chris while looking at Sky with a weird smug.
"Yes, I choose to break the wall." said Sky in a serious manner which Chris responds with a face-palm.
Then, Chris walks towards the path on the left side, he examines the jelly-like substance for a while before touching it with his bare hand. As soon as he touched the jelly substance, his finger turned dark and slowly dried up. Sky quickly pulled him away.
"Hmm... This is a rare natural venom huh?" said Chris in a casual manner.
"You... Seriously? What do you think you are trying to do?" said Sky, very worry about Chris.
However, Chris ignored Sky, he took out a small knife and cut his finger, then he touched the jelly world again with the p.r.i.c.ked hand, the jelly hardened as soon as it contacts with Chris"s blood, and the poisonous gas is gone.
"There we go, problems solved." said Chris.
"You... Don"t you ever do this again! This is too dangerous!" said Sky while examining Chris"s hand.
"Don"t worry, it"s not like this thing will kill me anyway." said Chris.
"That"s not the issue! Have a look at your own hand!" said Sky while trying to apply some healing magic on Chris"s hand that had almost completely dried up, however, the effect is not so well.
"Yes, that"s too ruthless even for you." said Seito while taking out a small gla.s.s bottle with translucent liquid. "Here, try this. This was from Erique (Seito"s butler)." Seito handed the bottle of liquid to Sky.
Sky examines the content, to make sure it"s safe to use before applying it to Chris"s hand. The liquid caused a stinging effect when it contacts with skin which caused Chris to flinched a bit, but it effectively turned Chris"s hand back to normal.
"I thought you are numb and not afraid of pain." said Sky in a sarcastic manner while still worry about Chris. "Shut up." said Chris, a bit dissatisfied by Sky"s words but he can"t deny it.
"Shall we proceed? The venom had been neutralized." said Chris.
Then they proceed to the next part. The remaining paths are all safe and without any obstacles until they reached the other turning point of the square that faces directly to their destination. Their destination is another door with lock, but it"s different from that other door, there"s a steel statue standing firmly in front of that door.
"That thing is alive, right?" Seito ask.
"Mhmm... It is." said Chris.
"Another fight?" said Sky, rather excited.
"Although I want to say no, that seems to be the best option. But make sure your movements are not too destructive, I hope you remember where we are located right now." said Chris.
Sky sighed and unwillingly retreated his sword while walking towards the statue. As he reached the open part just before the locked door which is less than two meters from the statue, the statue glows and changes its color from dull grey to shiny silvery color, spikes grow out from its body, then it starts moving on its own and walking towards Sky.
Sky cracked his fingers and starts provoking the statue to make it even more aggressive. The enraged statue charged and stomped towards Sky despite of its heavy and unbalanced body structure. As soon as Sky successfully drew it near to the turning point, which is where that deadly ray located, Sky shifting his position and did a small magic burst on the statue, the impact of the magic burst caused it to lose balance and fall onto the boundary on two parts.
The blue-ray burned and turn the upper body of the statue into dust in about five seconds. Leaving the other half lying lifelessly on the other of the boundary...
"Ah... Try to imagine that as a living human." said Chris.
"Chris, you are scary." said Seito.

*Something out of the story
Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you"re reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it"s an illegal copy diffused without the Writer"s authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those sc.u.ms might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky: "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it"s cursed and might cause the writer to stop writing."
