Chris and the others had landed at an area a few hundred meters away from the sinkhole, they are now trying to figure out a way to get into the sinkhole in case Sky can't make it back in their estimated time.
"Chris! Jimmy send out a message saying that Sky is in trouble." said Seito, rather alerted.
"What happened to him?" said Chris, sounds concerned.
"Ah... Never mind, it seems like the problem is solved." said Seito.
"I see. But it is still quite concerning, if he hasn't gotten out from there in an hour, I guess I will go in there for him" said Chris.
Seito nodded silently...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the sinkhole. Town Central. The bearded old man and all of his underlings including the watchmen are laying on the ground in agony, some obvious injuries of different levels can be seen on them, it's obvious that they just got beaten up so badly. Lili is lifted up by Sky single-handedly on her neck, the fierce look of Sky gives a feeling that he is going to snap Lili's neck at the next moment. Tata is kneeling on the ground begging for mercy on her sister's life.
"I don't know if you are trying to turn your back on me or you get too deep into your own acts, I don't like the humiliation you gave me just now. Or to be more precise, I hate it." said Sky, in a totally different tone and attitude compared with his usual carefree and goofy self.
"I am deeply sorry for what Lili had done to you just now. She didn't mean to hurt you, just that she easily gets ahead of herself sometimes, she is really not a bad person..."
Tata begged as she constantly bowed to the ground. Tata's movements look rather natural and deft, it almost seems like a reflective movement of her body, she probably had been apologizing for her elder sister all the time.
Seeing that poor little sister who probably had to clean her elder sister's mess all the time, Sky's heart softened a bit, he loosen his grip and dumped Lili directly onto the hard ground. As soon as Sky dropped Lili, she severely coughed and gasped for air, Tata immediately hold onto her sister and trying comfort her a bit.
"Get up, we still have things to do, I hope you did not forget our main purpose of coming to this place. Or do you want me to drag you there?" said Sky in a cold and stern tone before stepping out of the building.
The sisters hastily stood up and followed Sky.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a short while, they reached the goddess statue they had been looking for. Sky started observing the statue from all angles before deciding to summon Jimmy, the helper sprite.
"Jimmy, you can come out now." said Sky.
Then, a white ball bounced out from Sky's pocket and transformed into a white emoji humanoid figure. As soon as Jimmy came out from Sky's pocket, he immediately checked on Sky's broken arm and looks really worried.
"Uhm... Don't worry about me, this kind of injury would not be able to kill me." said Sky as he tapped Jimmy's shoulder to reassure him.
However, before Jimmy even calm down from that broken bone shock, he saw Lili and is once again astonished. Jimmy quickly guarded Sky from the front with an 'I know martial arts' pose. The funny reaction of Jimmy soothed Sky's tense mood a bit and caused him to laugh out.
"Haha! I told you not to worry about me, they are incapable to harm me anymore, for now, even if they could, I don't really think you would be any helpful... Anyway, have a look at this statue, can you sense any unusual spiritual energy from it?" said Sky as he pointed at the goddess statue that stood gracefully on a stone platform.
Jimmy sheepishly nodded before running around the statue while doing some funny wiggly dances.
After a while, Jimmy stopped and nodded his head sincerely and repeatedly to Sky, signaling that there is indeed a special spiritual energy under the statue.
"I see... Do you have a way to allow me to communicate with that spiritual energy under this statue?" Sky asked.
Jimmy hesitated a bit before sheepishly nodded once again.
"Can you do it for me now?" Sky asked again. Jimmy once again hesitated, and this time he shook his head.
"Ah... Is there any specific reason for that?" Sky asked again.
After a short thought, Jimmy nervously waved his hands again.
"It's too dangerous as I am not a spiritual user. I see... But I believe you realized that we have got no choice here don't you?" Sky asked. Jimmy seems to be a bit confused.
"Well, you do realize that if I am unable to get back up in time, Chris is probably going to get down into this sinkhole, right? If so, Seito will most likely come with him. You certainly don't want anything bad to happen to Seito, don't you?" Sky asked, a bit coercing.
And that coercion of Sky worked just fine, Jimmy started to panic as he heard of Seito...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shortly after that coercion of Sky, Jimmy finally agreed to help Sky to communicate with the spirit that had been held underneath the goddess statue. Jimmy turned himself into a huge white sheet that covered Sky along with the statue, as soon as Jimmy covered Sky, Sky started to feel a weird dizziness along with some sort of 'extra consciousness' that raised in his head...

*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 scums 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 caused the writer to stop writing."
