As Sky and Chris are trying to figure out the most efficient way to get rid of all the dirt and debris in order to find the hidden statue, Junior briefly examined the area and the density of the dirt and debris.
"Uhm... I wondered would a dynamite work? I happen to have some really powerful dynamite with me right now." said Junior.
"Dynamite is not really a good idea, the loud noise will have a big chance to alert those people in the town. However... I wondered how 'powerful' you mean by 'really powerful'?" said Sky, sounds intrigued.
"Well, it is capable to destroy a small mountain while creating a more than ten meter deep crater. But rest assured... Its explosion impact is quite stable and would not cause this sinkhole to collapsed even more." said Junior.
"Ah... I see..." said Sky as he glimpsed at Chris, seeking for his response.
Chris gave Sky an okay hand signal without saying anything. With that approval from Chris, an evil smug can be seen on Sky's face...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
And so, with the approval of both Sky and Chris, Junior set up his dynamite on a suitable spot and lit up the dynamite as soon as Chris shielded all of them with a barrier. After about five seconds Junior lit up the dynamite, it exploded. Just like Junior described, the dynamite is extremely powerful that it successfully wiped out the whole area within a hundred meters diameter while creating a deep crater. As soon as the area is wiped out, all three of them felt an obvious weakening of the magic press, indicating that Junior's dynamite is right on the point.
However, just as what they were concerned about, the loud noise caused by the explosion successfully alerted the townspeople, in less than five minutes, the bandit gangs stomped to the area with their armor and weapon. Despite of having enough time to escape, the trio chose to stay at that place and watched the whole area flooded with all the armored bandits. With the arrival of the bandit, Sky and Chris smiled...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
With the fourth statue destroyed, Sky looked up to the air and saw the mist slowly fade away as most of his magic had recovered from the overwhelming magic press. He glimpsed at a teenage boy that is tied up by Chris's binding magic along with an adult man, he totally can't imagine how a young teenage boy like that became the boss of such a huge bandit gang. But judging by his look, he doesn't seem to be the original resident of the town, thus it's not unreasonable, furthermore, the adult man who is actually his assistant is also an outsider, with the low intelligence level of the people in town, it actually makes sense.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and summon Seiryu or are you planning to climb up the mountain wall with sheer brute force?" said Chris, who looks a bit tired.
Sky smiled while giving Chris an okay hand signal, he looks equally tired...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few hundred meters away from the sinkhole, Junior's aircraft.
As Seito, Itsuki, Hoshe, and of course, Bob are waiting for the return of the other three, they saw a magnificent blue dragon flying towards them and landed a few meters away from their aircraft, with no doubt, that's Sky's Seiryu. Aside from the expected trio, there are another two people that followed them back, a teenage boy and an adult man, both of them are tied up by a glowing light chain.
"Junior, I remembered your aircraft has a small isolation room, right?"
This is what Sky first said when they reached the aircraft. Junior nodded before opened the door of the isolation room, Sky pushed the teenage boy and the man into the isolation room and locked the door.
"I will contact The Kingdom to get someone here and take them back to The Kingdom's custody. After all, I am quite interested about the identity of that boy." said Chris before sat on a chair, followed by the other two.
Surprisingly, Junior did not return to the cockpit as he would do.
"I am glad that you make it back up here, mind to let me know what happened down there? It's sure a long and tensed waiting up here." Seito asked, rather concerned.
"Well, it's a complicated and long story, I will tell you everything later... For now, I just wanted a good rest, same for Chris and Junior, it's a really hard and tedious time down there." said Sky as he leaned on the chair and closed his eyes.
Seito nodded without saying anything.
As everyone is settled down, Chris glimpsed at Hoshe who is doing his own thing despite they had just gotten back from the sinkhole. Chris slightly shook his head before closing his eyes while thinking why did Shiya choose to teach this guy all of his knowledge...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Secret base, Ben is applying medicine and dressing for Silvia who was injured by a piece of broken glass.
"Tsk, right after Jason complimented you, you accidentally broke a flask and cut yourself. Seriously... You should pay more attention when doing your job, with such an attitude, you will never be a good healer." said Ben with the meanest words and gentlest moves when treating the girl's wound.
Jason who is peeking from outside giggled a bit, he can't help but compared him with the uncaring attitude of Hoshe...

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."
