Chapter 36 - Ghost Of The Crypt (I)

While the knight is still running away from the ghost, the ghost suddenly yelled at us. "S-s-s-stop!"

The knight ignores the ghost and keeps on running until he realizes that he is falling into a trap hole, luckily he managed to grab on to the side so he doesn't fall in. The knight tried to hang on as long as possible but his grip is loosening.

Suddenly, a white hand touches the knight's hand. It was the ghost hand, he pulls the knight up from the pit, and we both stand, staring down the hole in silence. "So much for not listening to what I say." The ghost said.

The knight immediately went to his battle stance, "Thanks... but why do you help me, do you help me because you want to devour a living soul?"

"No..No of course not, I just want to help Sir Knight." The ghost said that but the knight still not able to believe it as he said that there was no nice ghost in this world. All of them are good at manipulating people.

The ghost tried to convince the knight that he was just helping him and don't want to eat the knight soul at all. The knight then ask a question, "Why do you holding my leg earlier?"

The ghost responds, "I was just tried to stop Sir Knight from going forward and tell you there was a trap hole in the front, but when I was about to tell Sir Knight, you immediately run away."

The knight just still not believe the ghost words and ask another question, "Tell me the reason why you want to help me."

"That is very simple Sir Knight, it is because I am very happy that the Ripper of this Crypt is finally dead. All of the spirits that he imprisoned before have been released and we all were very grateful to you. So I decided to help you, Sir Knight."

"Hmm, I see... I guess I will trust you for now but do you know the exit of this crypt?" The knight then reverts to his normal stance.

"Of course I know the exit!... And I will be the one that guides you there, don't want Sir Knight to fall into any traps." The ghost then tells the knight to follow him. We then start to walk back the path that we already went into.

Still, I was not sure about trusting the ghost.
