Of course, Chu Mal-Chin didn't sleep that night. He had already slept days prior before the gate, and S+ bodies didn't need to sleep constantly.
Fiddling around with a card in hand, he thought about what to do.
There were about 18 A ranks, 2 S ranks, 1 S+ rank, and 2 SS ranks.
Usually this would be more then enough to clear a gate, but he's sure that Andras and Samuel already found out this gate was potentially SS rank.
The boss was bound to be SS rank or higher, and Andras beat the boss alone, but then he still had to fix some part of the plot.
Earlier, the system had alerted him about a hidden area in the gate.
[Near the boss room, there are 2 large trees. At the tree on the left, there is a hidden hole that transports the people who fell underneath to a hidden boss. Push Samuel and Andras into the hole and wait until the boss is dead. Once it's dead, enter the hole and sneak towards the exit gate and escape.]
Urgh, this system is quite scary ah…
Chu Mal-Chin groaned as he nervously thought of the death glare Andras had given him, and the suspicion that Samuel heavily harbored.
He knew that the moment they got out of this gate, they would capture him and torture him.
Thus, he had to think of other on how to lure them near the hole. Malso couldn't just go "Look, there's a plane!" as they would probably not even look and just beat him half to death.
Countless images passed through his head, each being worse then the other. Suddenly, a thought came to mind.
It was the only possible that seemed kinda okay.
Sorry in advance Sirvana, he thought before stealthily leaving camp.

The next morning, more of the seal came undone. Chu Mal-Chin placed a teleport anchor at the camp, in a isolated corner.
Today, he, Samuel and Andras would go explore a place near the boss room. Chu Mal-Chin didn't expect for his plan to kick in so suddenly.
However, this would probably be the only chance as Andras would later solo the boss and Samuel would encounter that mini boss.
And plus, they didn't trust him even more with some of the seal being undone, so they just strung him along.
After traveling for a bit, Malso silently stuck a green glowing card into the ground. A large vine/plant suddenly grew higher and higher, with Malso on it.
Startled, Andras and Samuel looked back at the tower growing higher and higher, and the large leaf at top blocked their vision of Orchid.
"What is he doing now?" Samuel frowned, as he squinted his eyes to look further up to no avail.
Suddenly, the vine stopped growing and soon, Orchid's small face peeped over.
"There are 2 large trees in front of us, let's try going there." Orchid pointed a little west of them.
Samuel frowned but turned towards the direction, Andras gave Orchid a mysterious look before also turning towards the direction.
Chu Mal-Chin breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the plant's other passenger.
Sirvana was bound tightly, her hands shackled behind her back, and her feet were also tied. A shutter item was tied around her neck, like a bow.
"Thank goodness Orchid has the storage enchant on his clothes…" Chu Mal-Chin mumbled softly, his chest pocket had space manipulative enchants with already prepared shutter items.
It seems the old Malso had quite a nasty taste…
Sirvana glared at Orchid as she struggled around.
Chu Mal-Chin had created the vine to get himself temporarily out of sight of the main characters.
He then teleported back to camp and stealthily and located Sirvana, before quietly using the blunt end of a card to knock her out and put a shutter item on.
Teleporting back onto the leaf, Samuel and Andras couldn't tell there was another life form because they were high up, and Sirvana's energy was currently blocked.
Now, it was time for stage 2.
Orchid turned towards Sirvana, who flinched.
"Behave now, you wouldn't want to fall off the edge." He whispered before lightly jumping off and joining the impatient Andras and Samuel, his shoes had a glide enchant as well that was unsealed. Really, where did Malso acquire all of this scary stuff…?
"If you could have dropped off like that sooner, that would have been great." Samuel clicked his tongue.
"Aya~ Just taking a quick look around… quite beautiful you see." Chu Mal-Chin slyly slipped into character as he followed behind the duo, going further away then Sirvana.
In order for this plan to work, Chu Mal-Chin would have to push himself and set down 4 teleport anchors. So far he had placed 3, and he was already feeling the after affects. If Malso wasn't sealed, he could easily place down 57 teleport anchors, but beggars can't be choosers.
One teleport anchor was on top of the leaf, the other was at camp, and the last one was near the large trees. He spent quite the amount of time last night trying to maneuver through the forest without leaving tracks, so Chu Mal-Chin hoped it would work.
As for the monster swarm that would attack the camp, Chu Mal-Chin was pretty sure that wouldn't happen as Andras and Sirvana fought against the ordinary boss, not the hidden one.
Though his logic did indeed sound stupid, Chu Mal-Chin managed to coax an answer from his system after twisting his words many times to ask the question.
[The hidden boss does not have the ability to call monster swarms, and a swarm will not happen unless the ordinary boss is triggered.]
So in a way, it worked…? Chu Mal-Chin nervously thought as he walked along.
