Without delay, I closed the domain and returned to that room. As I get back to the room, this time I synchronize with Skid. Using her new ability, I can trespass through the door through her new skill, aqua teleport. This skill lets my body turn into a liquid and makes me travel a distance more easily. Also, it can turn Sarin's body into a liquid state.
As we got out of that room, the synchronization effect wore off. Sarin shows me a way to find her master, the source from which people become infected with the disease. We moved into one room, which looks like a medical checkup room. No one is here. It might be because of a two-way mirror. This room can see another room with a transparent look, while in that room the mirror is reflecting back to us.
"Maybe that bad doctor ran away?" Sarin looked at me while thinking.
"I'm not sure. He cannot escape this building yet because his data experiments are still here." Sarin shows me an experimental record from that doctor. I asked Mia to copy the data from that experimental record.
"Then maybe he is hiding somewhere?" Sarin nodded. "Do you have any clues that make him show up quickly?" Then, she whispered to me.
"It seems like there is a record that I can use on this table. Maybe I should take it and bring it back with me." No response, I guess. "Should I burn it down? If you're not here, I guess I should have burned this record away." Without further ado, Sarin started the fire and threw the record into that fire.
"Hey! What have you done to my record?" That man really shows up. I guess his record is valuable to him.
"Do you understand now that you cannot defeat me now?"
"Curse you, little apprentice!" That man looks angry. As he was going to hit Sarin, I don't know why, but my body suddenly moved and blocked that man's hand with my hand from hitting Sarin in her face. "You are an outsider; don't disturb me and my apprentice."
"I am sorry for disturbing you, but I cannot see when my friend is getting hurt in front of me."
"You know who you are dealing with? If you are against me, the undercity will become your enemy. I give you a chance to rethink; follow me, and the undercity will not attack you anymore." It seems this man tried to persuade me to join him. If I join him, I will leave Sarin, and my journey will be a long one. I want to get home quickly.
"It seems I cannot join another evil person here. I am not following you or anyone else. Sarin is the one following me. If you want Undercity to go against me, then let it be. I don't care as long as Sarin follows me." I can see that Sarin's face blushed.
"Argh, didn't I say not to flirt?"
Yeah, I know about that, but this is not flirting. I just said what I want only."
"You..."
"Enough, you two! I think I have to do this with violence to make you more disciplined." That man called his man to attack me. His man came to us. That man has a tough muscle and a big body. Sarin was behind me at that time. I told Sarin to let me handle this. She nodded.
I used a technique that Laura taught me when fighting someone who looked stronger than me in close-quarters combat. I waited for that big guy to attack me, but he stopped. Did he wait for me to attack him? Maybe I should attack him. As I tried to punch him, my hand hurt pretty bad.
"Hahaha! Now you understand your difference." The doctor said.
"Hulaif, it's useless. You cannot win against that guy in hand-to-hand combat. That guy used an enhanced muscle pill. That pill allows the user to become superhuman. My master never said that his enhanced muscle pills are almost complete."
"Now you save me from my explanation." I don't think I can win right now. Maybe I can if I use the synchronization feature. I looked at the watch, and it seems I cannot use it right now. That feature is in a cooldown state. Also, I cannot use the bishop weapon's mode because it is locked right now anyway. I can only use the pawn weapon's mode through Chesscraft.
"Let's go, Sarin!"
"Huh! Where?" She was quite shocked.
"We need to run for now." I grabbed her hand and escaped from those guys. I can hear that big guy following us from behind. We ran through the floor to another floor. As I ran, I could hear what Sarin said to me.
"Stop!" I stopped running. "I am tired. If he wants to capture us, then let it be. I will use my drug to kill that guy."
"Wait, are you sure that you want to take that drug right now?" I looked at Sarin as she tried to take her body enhancement drug.
"No, Sarin. This time, let me do this for you. You should fight that doctor." Then that big guy came at us. The doctor was behind him.
"Hear me once. If I want to do what I want to do, don't prevent me from doing something that I don't want to do. Also, you have done so much to me already."
Out of nowhere, Sarin kissed my cheek and faced that big guy. Is she out of her mind? Her drollness stuck to my cheek. Then I smelled something. Yuck, stink. How long does she not brush her teeth? After worrying about that, I looked at Sarin, facing that big guy.
"It seems you are big for nothing. Master, your drug is not 100% effective yet. But mine is already 100% effective. Now I will show you the difference." She swallowed the one drug, and at the same time, the big guy tried to hit Sarin. As that big guy hit Sarin, Sarin blocked him and grabbed his hand. Then, slowly, she bent that guy's hand and broke it. Sarin jabbed at that guy's head. Seriously, I cannot see her hand. She moves quickly. I can see that guy is almost tired.
"Damn, how could she become this strong? I cannot let her win. Hey! Take this pill more!" That doctor gave his enhancement drug to that guy. That guy, without thinking, swallowed a few pills that the doctor gave him.
"Argh! I can feel the power surge inside me. Argh!" I know he said something like that, but why did his body change completely into a non-human? He changed into a large beast, and his face looks like a gorilla to me. His body grows many hairs like an animal. "Argh, power. This is the power I need."
"It seems like he has overdosed on the drug. Hulaif, let's go back."
"Hey! But are we not done here yet? Are we?" I am clueless about what she said.
"Argh, but it is pointless. Even if he overdoses on the incomplete drug, the percentage to beat me is still unreachable."
"Shut your mouth off. Talking too much in our match is also pointless." That guy started to attack Sarin. As Sarin blocked his attack, she was thrown away by the massive force and hit the wall. The wall is destroyed. It was quite fatal.
"Sarin, are you..."
"I am okay. Tch, did I not tell you? You cannot beat me in this fight." Sarin looks fine to me, and she was pissed off. Then, she suddenly disappeared and attacked that guy in the face and on his body. I can hear Sarin punching him. That might be pretty hurtful. That guy took that blow directly. Suddenly, Sarin stopped punching and backed off for a moment. At the moment, Sarin avoids getting hit by that guy. I can feel the air pressure from that punch.
"Amusing, you avoided my attack this time." I can see Sarin's uneasy face.
"Hulaif, if I did not make it up here, you should escape and rescue all of the people here."
"But..."
"Please, this is my wish." I cannot decline her wish.
"Okay. But promise that you will survive after this."
"Sure. Look, who are you talking to? This is me, Sarin."
"You two really talk a lot when you are going to die." That doctor said.
"I am not going to die here!"
"If you said so, I just need to increase my manpower to defeat you easily." Then, I can see three monsters just appearing behind that gorilla guy. The three monsters look like the faces of animals: cheetah, shark, and tiger. Does this mean Sarin needs to defeat all of them? It is totally unfair.
"Sarin!" When I just called her name, she was thrown from her position and hit by another wall. I cannot see that cheetah monster clearly. It seems it attacked Sarin just now. Then, I can see Sarin was in mid-air and got his body punched. That monster's moves might be quick and make me unable to see it clearly.
As Sarin fell from midair, she coughed blood. I can see her bruised face and blood everywhere on her face and her clothes. "Sarin, let me help."
"No, this is my fight. I can end this myself." As she got up, the tiger and shark monsters attacked her. The tiger monster uses his claw to claw Sarin, while the shark monster uses his fang to tear Sarin's body part apart. She lost her left hand when trying to block that shark fang and injured her right leg when she kicked that tiger monster away. Sarin was humiliated by those monsters. Am I supposed to only see all of this? I have to help her, but I cannot use the bishop's weapon this time.
Wait, I'm just thinking something interesting right now. "Skid, has your cooldown ended?"
"Yes. What should I do to help you, boss?"
"Ready for a Chesscraft."
"Okay, boss." I used Chesscraft's pawn mode. I make Skid turn into a whip. The whip consists of ten pieces of cord, each tied with a series of knots. I called this weapon, squid o' ten arms. The whip can be stretched into a long cord. I used the whip to take Sarin away from them and hit all four of those monsters at the same moment. Those monsters fainted for a moment. I need to heal Sarin at this time.
I used the special effect of the whip to recover the lost part of her body. Even though it looks like abuse, it really heals her. Actually, I am quite shocked when I look at her hand and leg as they start to grow back. This skill really scares me. As soon as she was healed, she started to ask me.
"What happened exactly to me?" At the same time, those four monsters start to get up again.
"Right now is not a great time to explain. You need to believe in me. I will help you this time."
"But..."
"Please, I'm really frustrated when looking at this pointless battle."
"Okay. I will believe in you. I am in debt with you again."
"That's nothing." Suddenly I can see the Chesscrest on her neck starting to shine." She was quite shocked at the moment.
"Woah, what is this?"
"It seems you can use the power of Chesscrest right now." I taped the Chesscrest icon to my phone and synchronized her power with mine. "Now you can use the full potential of your body with that enhancement drug."
"Now I am hyped." At the same time, I replaced Skid with Mia as a Chesscraft weapon.
"Ragh!!!" Those four monsters started to rage. "How dare you inflict a surprise attack on us!" It seems I am in this fight. As soon as Sarin took one more dose of her drug, I could feel that my body was pretty light. I think I can fly.
Those monsters have now tried to attack us. The four of them came at me. Waiting for the right moment for the right attack was my plan. As the cheetah monster came at me, I used a sidestep and put a leg in the way he ran. As he hit my leg, he stumbled down. One monster was down, and three more. Then, the shark and tiger monsters make their combo, like when they attacked Sarin before. As the shark monster tried to bite me, I punched his lower jaw. That punch makes him unable to close his jaw. As the tiger monster started to claw me, I used a sidestep one more time and broke his left arm. Then, continue to break his right hand. That may make him unable to use his hand at this time. I did not even use Mia's skill this time; are they even strong or weak? Now for the gorilla monster. I let Sarin handle the rest of those three when they could still get up and fight.
"You are next." I pointed my finger at that gorilla monster.
"You talk big." He came toward me and punched me. The moment he punched me, I dodged that attack and looked for a weakness. I found that he has a lack of agility.
"Just having power does not make you stronger enough to beat me."
"Ragh!" He makes his chest beat like a gorilla always does. His movement starts to increase. I should prepare for a counterattack. As he tried to hit me, I used Mia's web and tied both of his legs. He stumbled the moment he tried to chase me. As he fell down, I wrapped him up using Mia's web.
Also, I can see that Sarin has done her job and made the three monsters unconscious. Right now, I just wrapped them in a web and asked Sarin to settle her problem with that doctor. I released Mia from Chesscraft. Meanwhile, Sarin chased that doctor, and I asked Skid if there was a way to turn these four men into normal people.
"Maybe you can use a drop of my water to return them back to normal," I asked Skid to transfer some of the water, as she said. The water turned them back into humans. Maybe I should just leave them here, inside the web. I tried to follow up with Sarin. She runs pretty quickly. I arrived in one room, and I can see the doctor and Sarin.
"You know that I have a big ambition."
"I know that's why I am going to stop you. It seems my man cannot even control this great power." As he took that drug, he transformed into a lion monster.
"Ah, for real!" I went straight to that lion monster and sprinkled a bit of water from the Oasis on him. The transformation was reversed back into a human. Sarin was quite shocked at that moment.
"Why do you disturb his transformation."
"We need to hurry. Does not have time anymore.
"Okay. If you said so." She went straight to that doctor and punched his face. That punch made him faint.
After we captured all of the criminals in this building and gave treatment to all the patients there. The villager returned to their village and met up with their family. The criminals were getting their punishment in the village. The case is closed. Now, I am done with this Underworld. I think I should go to the surface. But how?
"Hey, how do I get to the surface?" Sarin looked at me.
"You asked me?"
"Of course you. Who else is in this forest."
"I thought you talked with your other friends."
"No, I talked with you."
"Follow me. I will show you the way to the lift."
