A girl with black hair with black eyes called out that wavy hair girl "Mina".
"Mina, if you were able to use this highest level Earth magic. you should have used it earlier" said that black haired girl.
"Sera.. I used it now so can you please stop complaining. Awww!!!" replied Mina with irritated manner.
"Mina you..." said Sera angrily.
Boston stepped in during the girls talk and asked Mina " Ms. Mina Can you help me kill the leader ant, it seemed that the leader is A-ranked and I can't kill that thing all by my self".
"Yeah sure.. I don't wanna die in this dungeon after all" replied Mina.
Ducan and Tyler felt relieved that they won't die now but somewhere in Ducan's heart, he realised that he was not strong enough to even protect a friend. How can he protect his family as Ducan saw how that Mina gifl was.
Mina put down the was she had made to stop the leader ant. After that Boston ran towards the leader ant and started to attack his legs. Leader ant used his sharpened legs to attack Boston. At that moment Boston called out "Ms. Mina ... Now".
Mina used her Earth magic to took out that same pointed rocks from ground and attacked ant's abdomen which weakened the leader ant then Boston cut off the head of the leader ant resulted to dead. When leader ant died all his minions died as well. Ducan kept quiet doing nothing and watched from the sideline.
They continued to go their way to the boss room. This black hole typed dungeon was odd.. it only had ant-typed monster. Ducan and the other's.... No matter how much they had walked. They didn't seemed to reach at the end of dungeon or boss room.
All other people stared getting exhausted and Ducan didn't even knew, how many days has gone by. Ducan thought to himself " Where is the boss room?. We need to find it before it gets too late".
Sera who was beside Ducan started to show symptoms of fainting. when Sera was about to fall Ducan grabbed her in shoulder and asked "Are you ok?".
"I'm feeling exhausted. I can't walk anymore" said Sera.
"Ducan I too think I am going to faint. I want to rest and I'm hungry too" said Tyler.
After Ducan listened to Sera and Tyler.Ducan thought of some idea.
" Everyone, I think all of us are getting exhausted. we should rest and I have some food so we should eat as there are no monsters in vision" said Ducan.
Everyone agreed so they ate food and rested for a little while and after that continued to walk. It seemed as though having food and rest was not enough. So everyone began to collapsed one by one... Only Ducan, Tyler, Boston, Sera, Mina were left standing. Tyler and Mina were exhausted but they were managing themselves.
In that moment, A voice of a creature came to heard. it said " Hahahaha Fall fall ... into the dungeon of my dungeon".
When Ducan and others heard that voice, they all became alerted. The continued laughter of that creature made Ducan thought to himself " This creature is not a monster. Monster are not capable of human speech".
while Ducan thinked all about that. The creature began to spoke " you won't be able to escape the dungeon... No.. Neverrrr... Ha ha ha ha".
"you... tell us a way to escape this dungeon and as I assumed there is no boss room so there must be a quest or something to conquer this dungeon " yelled Ducan.
" Ha ha ha you despicable human. Even if there a quest you won't be able to pass it." said that creature.
Ducan with other four looked at each other and stood silenced.
" okay, I will give you the quest. let's see how you win this quest... First of all , Introduction is very important so I am a DEMON named Saitan.. and not only a demon. A smartest one at that. I ask riddles to other so this quest is to answer my 5 riddles in 1 min and if you answered all of them I will open the dungeon gate for you".
In the midst of the conversation with demon saitan. Ducan thought to himself " This creature was a Demon. but demon were supposed to lived away from FIVE kingdoms.. How can one can appeared out of nowwhere. It's going to be very difficult".
"You there human, the armored one undo your fire magic so you can see a red button and click there to write the answers" Said demon saitan.
Boston did as that demon said and the moment Boston undo the magic a white light surrounded everywhere. So they were able to see each others.
"So let's get started...Demon" said Ducan.
FIRST RIDDLE:
" I'm tall when I'm young and I'm short when I'm old. What i'm I??" asked Demon Saitan.
Time began to slip by " Tick tok tick tok"
but answer was nowhere to be found.
"I think it's Human because when we aged we become short " said Sera.
"No way that's an answer " replied Mina to Sera.
Ducan and the others started to think more and more.The time was short...
" You only have 30 sec left. think think "said Demon Saitan.
"It's candle" said Ducan.
" Why is it candle" asked Tyler.
" Because when a candle is new it is tall but when we used it it's height get smaller" replied Ducan.
After that Ducan clicked that red button and wrote that as an answer.
The red screen showed "Correct ".
All of them smiled at eachother.
"Ha ha ha pretty smart aren't ya... but that was the first question. So I gave it simple but next won't be easy " said the Demon Saitan.
SECOND QUESTION:
"I can fly but have no wings. I can cry but I have no eyes. Wherever I go , darkness follows me What am I ?" asked Demon Saitan.
Ducan and other after thinking a lot didn't seemed to knew the correct answer but then again Sera answered "it's clouds, I'm sure this time. I'm telling you it's clouds. just trust me on this".
Time reached at 10.. 9...8...
Sera quickly ran toward the red screen and wrote the answer but the screen showed nothing. Everyone started to sweat and thought that it was a wrong answer.
"it's..... correct" said Demon Saitan.
Demon Saitan became quite curious how were they able to answer it in less than 1 min. While Ducan and others began to celebrate.
" Told you, I got it " happily said Sera.
Without uttering a single word Demon Saitan continued.
THIRD QUESTION:
" If you have me , you want to share me. If you share me. You haven't got me. What am I?" asked Demon Saitan.
After hearing the question Tyler began to write the answer not even sharing the answer.
" Stop!! Tyler first tell us the answer " yelled Boston.
But it was too late Tyler had already wrote the answer... The screen then indicated "correct "
Their were awkward smile on the faces or rather sacred with happy smile.
" What did you wrote? Tyler.." Asked Ducan.
"I wrote secret " replied Tyler.
" Why secret though" asked Mina.
" Because the riddle said if you have me You want to share me that's a secret. and after that it said if you share me you haven't got me, So if I share a secret it will no longer be a secret" replied Tyler.
" You are pretty smart but please tell is before you do some thing crazy that almost gave me a heart attack."said Boston.
While All of them were having conversation. Demon Saitan thought to himself " It's impossible... I'm going ask even a harder question this time just you wait and see you HUMANS ".
FOURTH QUESTION:
" A girl has many brother as sister but each brother has only half as many brother as sister. How many brother and sister are there in the family" asked Demon Saitan.
As time began to slip by they all began to guessed it.
" Three sister and four brother" said Boston.
" "Five sister and two brother "said Mina.
Sera and Tyler stayed silenced as they didn't knew the answer.
Time 33...32..31...
Ducan then grabbed attention of everyone and started to spoke
"I think no I'm sure the correct answer is four sister and three brothers because it said that a girl has many brother as sister so it means that girls has same number of brother as sister. Then after that the riddle said each brother has half as many brother as sister so that means if we count it right its four sister and three brother"
After Ducan was finished explaining the answer all of their faces seemed more confused.
Ducan with awkward face"Ha Ha Ha" and Ducan thought to himself "After I explained all of that but they didn't even get it ". and sigh...
"Ducan We will trust you. You were the one who gave the answer to the first question so go and even if you got incorrect answer it's okay" said Tyler.
Everyone looked at Ducan and Nods.
Time 20....19...18..
Ducan quickly wrote the answer on that red screen and that screened showed "Correct".
Everyone became happier and thought all together "ONLY ONE QUESTION LEFT".
" you humans, I respect you to find the answer in less than 1 minute which even my colleagues couldn't do" Said Demon Saitan while acknowledging Ducan and others.
" On to the last question Demon, We are ready" said Ducan looking fearcily.
