42.1% The Dream Workshop: Journey To Celestial / Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Arrived At The Slum

Capítulo 8: Chapter 8: Arrived At The Slum

Back to the Crusadia team, After a day of departure began a new journey full of magnificence and heroism, the group was lost in the ocean shortly after. Elastor looked at the map, then at the ocean, then back at the map, and said:

"Hmmmm, yeah we're lost."

The crowd behind Elastor shouted angrily:

"How the hell did you bring the map of the Continent up here?!"

Lamalia lamented:

"Ah, why let that idiot prepare everything for us to go?"

Elastor said:

"Hey, did you forget we only have the Highland Continent map?"

Belle replied:

"Okay, okay, calm down everyone. We still have the compass, okay then just keep going west..."

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise at the compass that had lost its needle. Everyone looked up and saw Grim flossing his teeth with a compass needle, he looked at everyone and said as if nothing happened:

"What? I just have a bit of a toothache."

Immediately Grim's face swelled up after dozens of kicks from everyone. People continued to get lost in the ocean and kept flying in a straight line with no direction. Grim continued to throw coal at the steam engine to keep the zeppelin flying while everyone was using spyglass to look around for land. Eva said:

"Damn it, how did we get there at this rate?"

Julia replied with concern:

"Look, everyone, the smoke of the enemy zeppelin is fading, and the oil spills are slowly being mixed by the seawater."

Eva said worriedly:

"Not good, we are slowly losing track of the enemy. The new journey that could not have just begun has ended."

Grim stepped up from below the machine room and said:

"And to make matters worse, we only have a third of the coal left, we don't even have enough coal to return to the Highland Continent."

Grim created for him a new smoke right arm, this arm had sharp claws and claws along the arm. Elastor said:

"New arm? At least it's better than seeing your right arm amputated. Hey, can you use your smoke to operate the steam engine?"

Grim replied:

"Hey idiot, a steam engine needs only steam, no smoke."

Elastor roasted Grim:

"How can you be so useless when you're the only one who can keep your element?"

Grim roasted Elastor too:

"Hahaha, better than someone who lost his element and struggled to use his sister's element."

Elastor and Grim banged their heads against each other with angry eyes and the girls ignored them. By now they were a bit hopeless, they lay on the floor and looked up at the hot sun. Eva said:

"I didn't think we would die at sea like this."

Belle replied:

"Welcome to the fact that we're going to be the worst leaders in history."

Elastor said:

"Well, at least dying alone is worse, I love you guys."

Suddenly there was a thunderclap, Lamalia said wearily:

"Elastor, stop striking lightning."

Elastor replied:

"What are you talking about? I've already swapped elements with you."

Julia said:

"So where did that thunder come from?"

Grim replied:

"Well, if it's not Elastor's it might be Lamalia's but she still doesn't know how to use thunder. So the worst case scenario is a thunderstorm."

At this time, the whole team was startled to sit up and look ahead. A giant thunderstorm was approaching their zeppelin. They gasped and hurriedly prepared to weather the storm. The little zeppelin moved slowly into the storm like a monster swallowing a raft. The strong winds were blowing stronger, the black sky struck lightning that lit up the storm, the waves rose violently, the rain poured down continuously and the little zeppelin was struggling to survive against the power of the ocean. The zeppelin was swept by the fierce wind. People cling to everything they can so they don't get carried away. Only Grim was always standing upright in the middle of the floor, he was confident as if he wanted to challenge the storm. Elastor shouted angrily:

"Hey you idiot, do you really want to commit suicide?"

Grim laughed confidently and replied:

"Hahahaha, these winds don't mean anything to me."

Suddenly Grim was floating in the air because the wind was blowing, Grim thought in pain:

"Damn it. I ate so little last night."

Everyone was shocked at Grim's stupidity. Grim immediately threw out his long smoke arm and scratched the floor to hold him back, he proudly said:

"Hahahaha, you think you can blow me away?"

But Elastor, Belle, and Julia below were sawing off the smoke hand while they looked at him with a sinister look. Grim shouted angrily:

"Damn it!"

Suddenly Lamalia shouted in worry:

"Look! Tornado."

A tornado was approaching frantically, everyone was startled as if they were about to die. Zeppelin was quickly caught in the tornado and was blown to the center. People were dizzy from the tornado's rotation, but they still managed to hold on. Suddenly Julia lost her hand and was blown away, but Elastor caught her hand in time, he said:

"Julia, it's okay, I've got you."

Julia responded with emotion:

"My Elastor."

But suddenly Grim also clung to Elastor's hand to break the romance in the middle of the storm and casually said:

"Give me a place to hold."

Julia and Elastor were pissed off and immediately threw a punch and a kick in Grim's face. The zeppelin was slowly being destroyed by the storm. Eva said in concern:

"We won't be able to survive."

Lamalia held Eva's hand to keep them together, she said strongly:

"No, remember why we started this journey. We'll survive."

Eva said:

"Okay Lamalia, we will survive."

Grim was now unleashing his full power of smoke. Grim immediately tied a rope to the zeppelin's head and said excitedly:

"Give me a boat ride!"

Grim spread his wings and transformed into his half hyena form. Grim pulled the zeppelin with it and flew forward at lightning speed. Grim dragged them along the water cannon and flew high into the sky, past the dark clouds. Suddenly Belle saw in the distance that it was land, she hurriedly said:

"Look! Land! Just a few kilometers away."

Grim smiled excitedly and said:

"Hahahaha, hold on tight!"

Grim immediately dashed to land at supersonic speed, his wings cutting through the air. They quickly flew over the storm and headed for land. Everyone shouted with excitement that they were about to reach land, but suddenly a shovel flew out and hit the back of Grim's head. He spat blood and thought wearily:

"What the hell..."

Everyone gasped at the sudden sight when the zeppelin was only a few feet inland. Grim only managed to drag the zeppelin a little further and then drag them crashing down to the beach. The zeppelin and everyone crashed hard onto the beach and their only vehicle was destroyed. After a while, Eva suddenly sat up and hurriedly said:

"Everyone, how are you?"

Lamalia pushed away a wooden plank and replied wearily:

"Still alive."

Elastor and Julia held hands, so together they were hooked to a nearby coconut tree, exhausted they said:

"There's still the two of us."

Belle sat up simply, she brushed the sand from her hands and kicked the steam engine out of the gap between the two rocks where Grim was hiding. Grim just smiled awkwardly and said:

"Helle there."

Everyone was still alive but the zeppelin was gone. Grim knelt before everyone and hurriedly prostrated himself to beg forgiveness before their evil eyes. Eva sighed and said:

"Zeppelin's gone, we have to walk from here. Everyone, let's pick up everything we can and move on."

Then they obtained a few bags of food and meager water. Grim pulled out three working muskets and just enough six horns of gunpowder. After carrying all their luggage, the Crusadia team headed deeper into the forest to go further inland. Elastor took the lead to clear the way while everyone else stayed behind. Eva said:

"Julia, can you see the direction of the enemy's smoke?"

Julia replied:

"No, they're completely gone, maybe the storm blew them all away or we're not in the enemy's direction."

Eva said:

"What about the smoke in those mountains?"

Eva pointed to a cloud of smoke rising behind a wide mountain range. Belle observed it and said:

"Perhaps it's worth a try, if not an enemy maybe a village so we can rest."

Elastor replied:

"Okay then, let's move on."

Crusadia team continued to move deep into the forest towards the mountains. On the way they passed many streams, Grim hunted some wild boars for dinner, Belle picked up some tobacco leaves by the roadside, and Elastor was bitten a lot by mosquitoes. It took them a long time to go through the forest until in the evening they opened camp to spend the night. Grim was happily enjoying the roast pork he had caught, but was suddenly slapped on the back of the head by Elastor. Grim shouted angrily:

"What are you doing, you bastard? I'm having dinner."

Elastor replied:

"Idiot, if you have food, why don't you eat it?"

Grim grumbled:

"Because I'm not a vegetarian, you bastard. I don't like wheat."

Girls looked at them and Lamalia said:

"Never bring them along, they always quarrel every time they meet for no reason."

The others replied:

"Agree."

Belle said:

"We're going to cross the mountain tomorrow, we should rest early."

Eva replied:

"Agree. Good night."

Crusadia team went to sleep, but Eva couldn't sleep because she was still haunted by Rhohan's words about this world. The truths about this world were collapse and corruption, that kindness was destroyed by evil. Then she closed her eyes and tried to sleep. The next morning the Crusadia team continued to the mountain range, they started climbing the nearby mountain. While everyone was struggling to climb up, Grim easily followed everyone because he still had the ability to fly. Belle hugged Grim's back to fly with him, Grim laughed and said:

"Hahaha! Pathetic you idiot Elastor, you can't fly without your wings."

Elastor immediately took the rope and threw it and tied Grim's legs, then everyone grabbed the rope and they said together:

"Okay, let's fly."

Grim had to endure the bitterness and make a new vehicle for everyone to fly over the wide mountain range. Grim thought bitterly:

"Those useless losers, just wait! Except for my Belle."

They continued to fly far away, they flew over a few small villages destroyed by the empire, making them even more hateful of their cruelty. By evening when Grim was exhausted and landed on a mountain top, he became as thin as a bamboo. But by the time they reached the place where the smoke was flying, it was also the mines of the Kraton Empire. Everyone hid behind the top of the mountain and watched down. Eva took spyglass to look below and said:

"We've come to the right place, there's the flag of the Kraton empire, this could be their mines according to Urizen's diary."

Elastor replied:

"Okay, what's our plan now?"

Eva watched in the distance as the train carrying raw materials to the factory, she said:

"Bingo, the enemy train. We will use it to get to their city."

Belle replied:

"Can you see their city from afar?"

Eva looked along the track and saw that it led very far, she said:

"No, this track is very far. So we have to hurry before they leave. At the same time, we have to help the miners."

Elastor, Julia and Belle picked up the musket, Elastor looked below and said:

"It's a bit crowded, maybe a few hundred. We can sneak up to the train, but they're too numerous to spot us."

Grim replied:

"Looks like my smoke is a bit useful right now."

Eva summoned Peace bow and she carried a bag of arrows on her back to shoot. Lamalia summoned Strike claws to instantly scratch enemies and Grim summoned Hollow sword to quickly kill enemies. Eva prepared an arrow and said:

"Everyone split up. Elastor, Julia and Grim to the left and to the right, we'll surprise them. And Grim, give them a thick smoke."

Everyone nodded and parted to go down the mountain. In front of the mines, soldiers were whipping the miners to make them work. Meanwhile the manager sat at a nearby table counting the money. The soldier who was whipping the other yelled angrily:

"Hurry up you weaklings, the train will leave in two hours. If you don't have enough materials, your wages will be deducted, understand?"

Suddenly a miner was so exhausted that he fell down and fainted, that soldier approached him and angrily said:

"Exhausted? You dare to sleep exhausted?"

Just as he was about to whip the weak miner, he was shot in the head and died. All the soldiers and miners were so surprised by that and they stopped what they were doing. The manager stood up and said angrily:

"What's going on? Why are people dying here? Miners dare to kill people?"

Suddenly the soldier on his left was shot in the head and on his right an arrow pierced his throat. The fat manager was scared and looked for a place to hide, he shouted in worry:

"Didn't you see anything? Find them!"

Suddenly three more guys on the watchtower were shot dead. Then a guy standing outside got scratched in the throat and died. At the same time another guy was slashed in the throat. The miners were scared so they retreated to the mines while the soldiers were still worried and confused about someone attacking them. Suddenly a large cloud of smoke flew around and made the soldiers lose their way and see nothing. Two guys approached a mine cart when suddenly two gun barrels pointed out and shot dead. A hyena jumped out of the smoke and bit one soldier to death, the others raised their guns to shoot it, but its body was smoke, so they accidentally shot each other. Three more were killed by three arrows from a distance. A scared guy tried to run but was pulled back by a smoke hand, he screamed in utter fear and was killed. The miners didn't know who was killing the soldiers, they only knew there was a carnage going on. Gradually the Crusadia team killed all of them one by one. The train driver looked outside and saw the smoke, he curiously said:

"What's that, are they having a party?"

When he looked back into the cockpit, Lamalia raised her claws in front of him and said:

"Shut up or I'll kill you right away."

The driver was scared and had to sit still. Grim had jumped out of the smoke and slashed one of them to death, he shot his smoke hand and grabbed the man behind him. The three men behind immediately opened fire on Grim, but he used the enemy as a meat shield and charged. Grim lunged forward and slashed two more and The Predator leapt forward and bit the other's throat. Then the smoke faded and all the soldiers were killed. As for the manager who was hiding behind a box, he hurriedly ran towards the train. Belle immediately summoned the Fairy wand and activated the stone element, which she controlled a big rock and threw it at the manager. The manager got hit in the leg and lay down in pain. Elastor and Julia immediately went over and pointed their guns at him, Elastor said:

"Who is this fool?"

After the miners saw that Crusadia team easily killed all the soldiers, they slowly came out of the mine and knelt before Eva and respectfully said:

"Thank you heroes, who are you?"

Eva replied:

"Oh, no need to do that. Just get up, we don't need that."

They slowly got up and quickly took the soldiers' food to eat and divide it among many people. Elastor also gave them some of their food for the miners. Eva said:

"Okay, let's go to the city. Get their guns, we'll need a lot of weapons to attack the minions around the ship."

The manager was being watched by Julia, he angrily said:

"Insolent bastards, do you know what you're doing? You dare kill the soldiers of the empire and save the miners."

Elastor approached and grabbed his collar, he easily lifted him up and said coldly:

"And you shut up, we know you're the manager here because of your expensive clothes. You think we're insolent, you're even more cowardly than us. The Star!"

The Star was summoned and its appearance has also changed because of the swapped element. Its fur turned from black to white, and its tail and four legs had the vines curled around. The Star growled at the manager making him unable to help but panic. The manager was scared and said:

"Who are you really?"

Elastor replied:

"We are the ones who successfully survived fighting your Grand Generals, I even defeated Bahamat. We survived the attack by the mighty army of the empire, and we are here to avenge you no matter the cost."

The manager became frightened by the fact that Elastor had defeated Bahamat, one of the strongest Grand Generals. Then Elastor said to Grim:

"Hey Grim, where are all the muskets?"

Grim brought out nearly a hundred muskets and replied excitedly:

"Here it is, I've loaded it all up."

Elastor said:

"Okay, let's take this bastard with us now, we need a big guy here as a hostage."

An old miner said to Eva:

"Lady, are you going to the city of the empire?"

Eva replied:

"Yes sir, we need to go to their castle. We have to take something from there."

Miners were surprised by the recklessness of the Crusadia team, another miner said:

"We know you're strong, but I don't think you'll be so reckless as to go there."

Eva replied:

"We've lost our home, we have to end them forever or more people will die."

The old miner said:

"Then we will help you, in the slums no one knows the way better than us. Let us return to the slums, we will take you to a safe place."

Eva replied:

"Okay, we agree. We know miners are the labor force at the bottom of society so we also understand how much you hate the empire because of everyone's hard life."

Miners bowed to the Crusadia team. Then the miners carried the weakest people onto the carriages at the rear of the train. A few people with the Crusadia team went up to wagons carrying half of the iron ore and took a large cloth to cover them. Elastor hid in the cockpit pointed the gun at the driver and said:

"Let's go, let's go to the city."

The train driver started the train and drove them back to the kingdom. And the manager who was being watched by Grimm was in the soldiers' carriage. The rest would stay so as not to be suspected by the empire. The train went into the night. In the wagons, Eva said to the old miner:

"Sir, what's your name?"

He replied:

"My name is William, and yours is?"

Eva said:

"My name is Eva Gloria. So William, when we get there, how many soldiers are there? How are we going to get inside the slums?"

William replied:

"There aren't too many soldiers so we can kill them all. But the surrounding watchtowers might spot us."

Eva said:

"Don't worry, we can get through them. Get ready."

The train arrived at the station, it slowly stopped and then stopped completely. Grim pushed the manager off the train while he hid. Julia, Belle and Lamalia prepare to fire. Elastor picked up the second musket. The captain there went to the manager and said:

"Sir, why did you return to the city?"

When the soldiers were about to unload the goods, when they pulled the cloth, the Crusadia team immediately opened fire. They threw away their empty guns and took their loaded ones and continued to fire. Miners also took up guns and opened fire. Elastor kicked the train driver away and shot the captain. The manager tried to run but was caught by Elastor and held the gun to his back like a heart. Enemies on the nearby watchtower immediately blew their horns to alert the troops to the station. Everyone quickly retreated, they ran while shooting at the enemy. Eva and William took the lead so they could show the way. The Predator and The Star were summoned to protect everyone. They ran through the loading dock and broke the fence to run into the slums. The soldiers behind fired at them but Grim parried all the bullets and released smoke to hide them. After entering the slums, the surrounding watchtowers shined lights everywhere looking for them, but they only saw smoke on the street so they couldn't see anything. Everyone ran into a house near the center of the slum, William knocked on the door and said:

"Jake, it's William, we need you to open the door now."

A man opened the door, he was a fat but slightly dirty man with a bald head. Jake looked at William and said in confusion:

"William? How can you be here? You won't be back until next month."

William replied quickly:

"I'll explain later, we need shelter now."

Jake looked at everyone behind him and said:

"It's crowded, I'll let everyone rest at the bar. Hurry up, or the guards will find us."

Everyone rushed inside and Grim was the last to close the door. At that moment a group of soldiers passed by to look for them, but they did not find anything. Crusadia team finally arrived at the kingdom of the Kraton Empire.

Capítulo 9: Chapter 9: Sneak Into The Castle

Crusadia team took a quick breath to rest, Jake looked at them and said:

"William, who are they?"

William replied:

"They are the benefactors who protected us and brought us here. They belong to another land that was also destroyed by the empire."

Eva said:

"I'm Eva Gloria, we need to go into the castle."

Jake replied:

"Who are they really to be so reckless?"

Elastor said:

"Hey, how to deal with this fat guy?"

The manager was huddled in fear in the corner of the room, Grim giving him a sly smile that made him panic even more. Grim said:

"Feed The Predator, he's hungry."

Elastor also followed Grim with a cunning smile and replied:

"Yeah, what a great idea from Grim."

Belle immediately slapped them on the back of the head and said:

"Come on, we'll keep him. But he's certainly not worth using for us."

The manager hurriedly said in fear:

"But... but... I have the officer's badge to enter the castle."

Elastor replied:

"Who goes straight to the castle door? To surrender? We don't need that."

Eva said:

"Okay, I don't know what decision to make with him. Elastor, let you decide."

Elastor smiled cunningly and said:

"Thanks Eva."

Elastor approached the manager causing him to panic. Elastor tore off his expensive clothes, took all his money, and changed him into a ragged suit. Then Elastor kicked the manager out of the house and said:

"Don't ever come back here or try to tell the soldiers. Who would believe a rag like you?"

The manager was so scared that he ran away and dared not do anything. Elastor took the manager's money and threw it on the table to Jake and said:

"Here's the money. We'll pay anything to get in. Even if we have to go through the sewers."

Jake took the money and replied:

"Okay listen. I'm only doing this for money, life is very hard here, this money is enough to buy some medicine for them. I don't care what you are here for but please don't inform the soldiers about this money."

Eva said:

"I promise, now show us the way to the castle."

Jake said:

"Okay, follow me."

Jake took the Crusadia team down to the basement, where he hit the floor with a hammer. Elastor and Grim also help him break the floor. Underneath the floor was a sewer pipe, Jake said:

"Down here is a sewer from the castle down to the city and below. You can sneak into the castle this way."

Eva replied:

"Okay, here we go."

Grim summoned his sword and slashed at the sewer, he broke the sewer to get in. Elastor looked at the dirty sewer line with feces, urine and garbage, he said:

"Okay, who first?..."

Grim immediately kicked Elastor down the drain, his whole body smelling terrible. Elastor angrily covered his nose with a cloth and said angrily;

"Stupid Grim!"

Everyone started to cover their noses, Julia, Lamalia, Grim and Belle went down the sewer and moved towards the castle latrine. Eva was about to go down, when William said to her:

"Miss Eva, why are you so sure you want to enter the castle, isn't it too dangerous?"

Eva replied:

"I told you, we have to destroy the Kraton Empire. I'm not sure but I promise I can help you to escape from them. The slaves will be free soon, I have to go."

Jake said:

"You have brave hearts, good luck. And please save us."

Eva nodded and went down the drain and followed everyone. Those who remained were extremely grateful for their kindness and hoped that they would win to end the miserable life of the Kraton Empire. Crusadia team walked in the sewer, they held their guns high so they wouldn't get wet with gunpowder. Lamalia couldn't stand the smell, she said:

"Oh, damn it. When are we getting there, Elastor?"

Elastor took the lead and replied:

"I don't know either, this is a very dark sewer, can you put on some fire?"

Belle said:

'Hey, hey, don't do that, or the smell will get worse.'

Everyone was silent and continued on. Later, Eva, too tired of the smell, said:

"Oh damn it. Even though I've been to the dumpster twice, this stinks."

Elastor replied:

"Ahh, I want to die now."

An hour after walking straight in the sewer, people saw a light, they approached and looked up was a light from a hole. Julia said:

"Are we under the castle already?"

Elastor replied:

"Hmm, I'm not sure either."

Grim said:

"The Predator! Go check the above."

The Predator was summoned and replied angrily:

"Damn it, why am I the only one who has to carry the whole team of Spirits today?"

The Predator flew up, they were in the latrine, but it was the public latrine of area two. The disappointed Predator flew down and said in anguish:

"Still not there yet."

Everyone cried in despair in the sewers. Then they continued on, they passed many latrines but none were in the castle. Until, everyone stopped at the last latrine, Grim said angrily:

"This is the last latrine, The Predator! Go up there before I swim in this shit from exhaustion!"

The Predator got angry and flew up, thankfully they were in the castle this time. The Predator flew down and shouted happily:

"We're in the right place!"

Everyone shouted happily:

"Yeah!!!"

Above were several soldiers going to the toilet, they were a bit surprised to see a hyena with its head just popped up and the screams of joy below. Grim then fused with The Predator into half-hyenas and flew up over the toilet with a rope. But he realized his head couldn't make it through the toilet and poop got into his hair. Grim was really pissed off, he threw his smoke hand up and destroyed the toilet above his head. Grim flew up and saw the soldiers looking at him in surprise. Grim swung his smoke arm and captured them all, then broke their necks and killed them. Grim tied the rope and the people below climbed up. Seeing the slain soldiers being thrown into the corner, Belle said:

"What have you done again?"

Grim smiled smugly and replied:

"Just a little exercise in the early morning."

Elastor said:

"Okay, let's go out, remember to be quiet."

Julia quickly blocked the door with a log, she said dangerous:

"We haven't had a bath in three days."

Grim and Elastor turned pale. Then Grim had to build a thick wall of smoke that could not see the shadow in half the bathroom. Elastor took off his shirt and said:

"Bath? I'm too lazy."

Grim also took off his shirt and replied angrily:

"You think I want that? Nope."

Then the two of them poured water on their bodies and bathed together. Grim rubbed Elastor's back, he grumbled:

"Hey, why should I rub your back first?"

Elastor replied:

"Don't argue with me, hurry up you servant."

Grim grumbled further:

"And don't even think about giving your panther a bath."

The Star was startled to realize that Grim had discovered it. It got scared and withdrew. Elastor said:

"Hey are you absent-minded? The Star has been swapped for light."

Elastor said to Julia:

"Julia, lend us your soap."

Julia put her hand on the bar of soap over the wall and said gently:

"It's yours, Elastor."

Elastor received the soap and replied happily:

"Thank you honey."

Seeing that Elastor asked for soap in a very simple way, Grim said to Belle:

"Hey Belle, lend me your soap."

But Belle only replied coldly:

"Use with Elastor, I don't want you to smell my scent."

Elastor smiled as if to tease Grim, Grim was pissed off so he rushed to fight for Julia's soap with Elastor. Grim said angrily:

"Hey, lend me the soap too. Are you going to use it all?"

Elastor replied angrily:

"That's right. It belongs to my wife."

Grim choked Elastor and said with curiosity:

"Wait? Wife? Since when are you and Julia married?"

Elastor also strangled Grim and replied:

"Idiot, I invited you to our wedding too. You were so drunk that day that you messed up a lot of things."

Elastor and Grim kept fighting. Suddenly someone outside knocked on the door and said:

"Hey, why's the bathroom door jammed?"

Elastor replied:

"Please go to another restroom, sir. These toilets are broken."

The soldier outside said tiredly:

"Hah, this is the only restroom on this floor and it's broken."

Elastor and Grim heard him leave. Grim laughed and said:

"Hahaha, you sound weak, like a servant."

Elastor replied angrily:

"And let your wild voice do the talking? Then I don't want to be caught naked."

Elastor and Grim continued to fight in the shower. Later, everyone was clean and Elastor and Grim were even more dusty from fighting. Belle slapped her face and said:

"It's true that we shouldn't expect more from you two."

Elastor replied:

"Okay, let me peek outside."

Elastor opened the door a crack to look out and saw their location in a hallway. He looked through a bit and saw several soldiers walking around. Elastor closed the door slowly and said:

"There are many soldiers outside. About ten."

Julia replied:

"We've got five muskets here, can kill five at once if you aim carefully."

Grim said:

"The Predator and The Star can go on to deal with two more. That means we have to immediately block them their way, immediately disarm them before they fire."

Eva replied:

"Let's take care of the left quickly and let The Predator and The Star block the way of the right side. Ready?"

Everyone nodded and raised their weapons. Elastor immediately kicked the door and everyone rushed out. There were six guys on the left, Crusadia team immediately opened fire and shot an arrow at the same time killing them. The Predator and The Star were immediately summoned and charged at the four men behind them. The Predator turned into smoke and flew over them to block their path. The Star rushed forward and bit one of the necks. The Predator also lunged forward and bit one of them. The other two were about to raise their guns to shoot when Eva's two arrows hit them in the chest. The enemies were all dealt with, suddenly one of them was hit by a bullet in the shoulder and ran away. Lamalia took the enemy's gun and aimed, after she took a deep breath and pulled the trigger. The last bullet killed the other. Eva said:

"Okay we separate. Elastor and Julia go find a new zeppelin to get out of here. The rest must find the four pieces of Horux."

Lamalia said:

"Okay team, good luck."

After that, the Crusadia team split up and kept going. Back with Alata, he was chained up with a few other prisoners. Alata looked at the sleeping Onias below, he slept very deeply. Alata thought to himself:

"I've been here for two days, it's time to get out."

Alata saw The Imaginations fireflies around as if watching over the Onias models. Alata thinks:

"And get past them too."

Alata put on a cunning smile and thought:

"Hahahaha, they didn't know The Ghost could be completely invisible."

Alata summoned The Ghost, it was completely invisible and unnoticed by the fireflies. Alata spoke to The Ghost by thinking:

"Merge me into a ghost and get out of here."

The Ghost nodded and merged with Alata and transformed into his Ghost Cloak. Alata looked at Onias one last time and said:

"Sorry Onias, I'd love to finish that painting with you, but I have to go home first. I can't stay here for long."

Alata had turned into a ghost and flew away, suddenly he noticed the painting Onias was in the middle of drawing, which was still unfinished with the angel's face. Alata shrugged and thought:

"Hmm, looks like something's missing. Let me help him."

Alata took a paintbrush and dabbed it in yellow. Then he made some simple lines on the painting and finished Alata's innocent and pure youthful face like an angel (that's what he deduced about himself). Alata was proud of himself and thought to himself:

"Hahaha, I'm so good at drawing myself."

Then Alata waved goodbye to Onias and flew out of the room down the tower. Back to Elastor and Julia, both were walking around the corridors, they were also constantly avoiding the guards or had to secretly assassinate them. Julia watched behind them, she said:

"Where do you think it could be?"

Elastor replied:

"I think it must be near here. We're already five floors up."

Julia sighed, Elastor said with concern for her:

"What's wrong? Are you tired? I'm sorry we can't rest."

Julia replied:

"I'm fine, it's okay. Just a little dizzy."

Elastor said:

"If you want to rest, we can sit here for a few minutes and then we can move on."

Julia replied:

"I told you I'm fine."

Elastor suddenly picked up Julia and said:

"The Star! Look around for a moment."

The Star was summoned, it immediately looks around for minions. Julia said:

"You don't have to, I can go by myself."

Elastor replied:

"We have to keep moving if we don't want to stay in one place for too long, otherwise the enemy will find out. You can take a nap, we have The Star to protect us."

Julia sighed and rested her head on Elastor's chest, she said softly:

"I've been dreaming of a happy life together, at The Dream Workshop, maybe after we rebuild it. It's going to be a great time."

Elastor smiled lightly and replied:

"Yes, the two of us, with our children. That's more than enough."

Julia said:

"So we have to complete this journey together with everyone, for the future of our family."

Elastor said:

"You give me good motivation. If we can find their vault it will be even more fun."

Suddenly The Star ruffled fur, Elastor said:

"Are there enemies around? The Star."

The Star replied:

"It's not an enemy, it's just a feeling I don't like because it belongs to..."

Suddenly Alata's face appeared in front of Elastor and Julia and The Star's funny face. Alata laughed happily and said:

"Guys, I..."

Elastor and Julia immediately covered Alata's mouth and whispered:

"Be quiet for a bit."

Then Alata fell silent, Elastor and Julia immediately hugged him and said with emotion:

"Oh our best friend, you're alive. Twice already, don't scare and upset us again."

Alata also touchedly replied:

"Huhuhu, you guys think I'm dead again. I'm both sad and happy."

But they didn't notice that they were already surrounded by soldiers. All three thought to themselves:

"We're all dead."

Returning to the other four, they were moving through the corridors when they immediately stopped. Lamalia spotted a group of soldiers approaching them, she whispered:

"Quickly withdraw, they're coming."

Grim replied:

"We've got a few more after us."

Both corridors had enemies approaching and the four of them were stuck in the middle. Belle saw a vent over their heads. Belle said:

"Everyone, above us. Grim, lift me up."

Grim crouched down and Belle stood on his shoulder. She pry open the grille and had a look inside. Belle said:

"We can get in here, let's go."

Grim lifted Lamalia and Eva into the vent. Grim flew in and reassembled the grille. The soldiers passed by and found nothing. The four of them crawled in the ventilation and kept crawling up. Grim went last and kept looking behind Eva. Eva said:

"Hey, don't touch or look at anything."

Grim replied:

"Do I look interested? I like Belle's body better."

Eva immediately kicked Grim in the face and she and Lamalia looked at him with angry eyes. While Belle blushed embarrassed at Grim's compliment. They crawled in the ventilation for a while when Belle noticed a grille in front of them. Belle looked through the grille and saw that they were in Xanuguis's lab, she could clearly see the four pieces of Horux. Belle also noticed that Xanuguis was extremely tired and stressed by the four pieces, she pushed the papers off the table and said angrily:

"No results at all! Why haven't the best technologies worked on them yet?! Don't tell me this magic is stronger than machines?"

Belle whispered to everyone:

"We're here, but there's a Grand Generals here."

Eva was crawling on a grille. Suddenly it fell, causing Eva to fall into another pipe leading to an unknown location. Grim tried to catch her but couldn't, he said:

"Damn it."

Lamalia replied:

"You two find Paradise's location, I'll save Eva."

Then Lamalia also slipped down that pipe to find Eva. Grim jumped over the hole and whispered:

"Let's go, when do we get in there?"

Suddenly a chainsaw cut the vent behind Grim's feet and another chain saw cut the vent in front of Belle. Grim and Belle fell and were dragged out by Xanuguis, she looked at them and said angrily:

"You two? How did you two get here?"

Grim kicked Xanuguis in the face and said loudly:

"I don't need to explain!"

Xanuguis was already angry now she became even more furious, She turned her robotic arm into a blade and prepared to stab Grim. Suddenly a voice called out loudly:

"Stop!"

Owl came in and continued:

"He's mine."

Xanuguis threw Grim to Owl, she said:

"Then get him out of here."

Grim looked at Owl and said angrily:

"You bastard."

Owl slammed into Grim's collarbone, knocking him out. Owl then dragged Grim to his room. Xanuguis looked at Belle and said:

"I hate to admit this but you're good at magic, aren't you?"

Belle frowned fearlessly at Xanuguis. Eva and Lamalia slipped so fast, they fell right into the Throne Room. The two clung to the robe on the neck of Xanuguis's statue and slid down and landed safely. Eva and Lamalia immediately stood up, summoned their weapons and looked around. Eva looked around the Throne Room, she said:

"Oh no, This is like the Throne Room, then..."

The two immediately turned around and discovered they were standing in the middle of the Throne Room and in front of them was the Throne of Everest. Korad came out and said:

"Hmm, who are these brats? Soldiers!"

More than a hundred soldiers stepped out from behind the statue and pointed their guns at Eva and Lamalia as if they knew they were coming. Suddenly Rhohan came out and said:

"Soldiers! Withdraw now, they are the emperor's guests."

The soldiers immediately lined up and moved out of the Throne Room. Korad said:

"Did you know that they would come, Rhohan?"

Rhohan replied coldly:

"No, not me. The Emperor already knew they were coming."

Eva and Lamalia looked up at the Throne and looked straight at Everest. He looked at them slowly and said calmly:

"Eva Gloria, queen of Gloria kingdom. Lamalia Corput, queen of Sandx kingdom. Welcome to my Empire."

Eva and Lamalia were surprised when Everest knew their names. Eva and Lamalia felt the warm and pure light of Everest, they looked back at him and looked like an angel.
