Gen then said, "I did it! I finally did it!", and then the three of them looked at him and saw the golden orb floating by his shoulder.
Alex then said, "Congratulations, Gen. I knew you could do it. I had no doubts about it."
And Kimi said, "Wow. I wasn't expecting you to make it."
Bram then said, "I was losing hope too. I'm glad you made it, Gen."
And Gen said, "Thanks, guys. I couldn't have done it without your help."
Alex then said, "No problem, Gen. You know I will always be ready to help you."
Kimi said nothing, and Bram said, "You're welcome, Gen, and you don't have to thank me. You know I'm helping you in exchange for information on how to get the orbs."
Gen then said, "That's true. Well, now that I got the orb, let's go back."
And Alex said, "Okay, but what do you plan to do now, Gen?"
"Well, I guess now all that's left is to open the door at the end of the ruin and get my reward."
"Got it, but you'll wait, won't you, Gen?"
"Wait? Wait for what?"
"Wait for the other groups to figure out the trap-free way to the door."
"That's right. There's that, but don't worry, I don't think I'll have any problems with the way there."
"What? What do you mean?"
"It's because of the right path. With it-", but was interrupted by Bram, who said, "What's that?!"
And then Kimi said, "What's going on?!"
Gen then turned to them and asked, "What are you talking about?"
And Bram said, "Look over there.", and then Gen looked in the direction he had pointed and saw that a large amount of water was coming towards him.
Seeing this, he said, "Damn it! Something must have happened with our friends. Let's get towards them quickly before Briny fills the room with water."
And Alex said, "Okay.", and then the four of them went in the direction the water was coming from.
Gen then said, "Stay behind me if you don't want to get wet.", and then the other three all went towards him and took cover behind him.
Gen then put his two hands together, and a little while later separated them, and then kept going in the direction of where the water was coming from.
With each passing second, he was getting closer and closer to it, until the point where the water reached them, but just as it was about to hit them, it stopped in front of them. They then moved on, and where they passed, the water disappeared.
The four of them kept walking like this for a while, until at one point, they started to hear whispers saying, "Did you see the fight?", and another voice saying, "Yes. The five great demons are powerful."
Hearing this, Gen started to walk faster and said, "Damn. I'll pick up the pace.", and the other three followed him closely.
Some time passed, and they arrived at the place where the water was coming out from, which, as Gen had thought, was Briny.
They then continued to approach, and Gen realized that Lina and Raja were not there.
He then walked over to Briny and said, "Briny! What happened here? Where's Raja and Lina?"
And Briny said, "Gen! You're finally back. You have to help me deal with them."
"Sure. I'll help you, but give me a summary of what happened here."
"Got it. It was right after you left here. They started teasing us, and inevitably, we ended up getting into a fight with them. Raja and Lina fought very well against them, but after a while, the fight got to a point where I had to intervene. Even though I intervened, it still wasn't enough to resolve the situation, so I was forced to start flooding the room."
"Got it. What about Lina and Raja?"
"Well ..."
...
Right after Gen went toward the golden orb, on Briny's side.
Raja, Lina, Briny, and Fir were sitting around talking while waiting for Gen to return from trying to get the golden orb.
They then suddenly heard a voice say, "He was very lucky. If I had been fighting seriously, he would never have had a chance to even touch my clothes.", and another voice said, "Yes. You're right. If I had paid a little more attention, I would have ended my fight with one blow, but I wanted to play with him, and he managed to do the impossible and defeat me."
Lina and Raja then looked in the direction of the voices and realized that it was the two that Gen had defeated that were talking so much. They then decided to ignore them and continued talking among themselves.
Seeing this, the Fist Demon and the Leg Demon got very angry, and then they started badmouthing Lina and Raja, saying, "His friends are worse than him.", and then they started citing various reasons why Raja and Lina were weak and cowards.
After a while, Lina said, "What's wrong with you? You just lost badly to our friend. Why are you asking for another beating so soon? Are you masochists or something?"
Upon hearing this, the Fist Demon stood up and said, as he walked towards them, "Maybe, but who of you is going to beat me? You, or the blondie guy on your side?"
Lina then said, pointing at Briny, "Neither of us. Who's going to beat you is her."
The Fist Demon then looked at the person Lina was pointing at, and upon seeing that it was Briny, he started laughing and said, "Hahaha. It's not like this kid is going to be able to beat me."
Upon hearing this, Briny frowned but decided not to say anything, and the Fist Demon said, "Come on! Didn't you say you were going to beat me? What's taking so long?"
Raja and Lina then looked at Briny, and she looked back at them, then looked at the Fist Demon, sighed, and said, "All right. Let's just get it over with."
And then the Fist Demon said, "That's it! That's the way it has to be!", and then started to walk towards Briny, but halfway there, someone put their hand on his shoulder and stopped him.
He then turned around and saw that the Mind Demon was holding him, and then he said, "What is it, Mind?"
The Mind Demon then said, "Stop now."
And the Fist Demon said, "Mind, don't worry. I know I lost by carelessness just now, but you can be sure that now it will be different."
"You only think about fighting, don't you? It gets to the point where you can't even see who you're picking a fight with."
"What do you mean?"
"Do you know who this woman that you just called a child is?"
"No, but who cares? It's not like she's going to be someone important."
"That's true. You're right. It's not like she's going to be anyone important. After all, she's only one of the daughters of the Queen of Tólis."
"What?! She's a princess?!"
"Yes. I don't think I need to say anything more, do I?"
"Yes, I get the message, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop. Being a princess or not, they provoked me, and now they are going to pay."
"You don't really think about anything but fighting."
The mind demon then pulled the fist demon back and went towards Briny.
He then came very close to them and said, while looking at Briny, "Forgive us, princess. We will teach him a lesson later."
Briny then said, "Sure, no problem."
"Great, thank you very much."
He then started to walk back to where he was, but halfway there, he stopped, came back, and then said, "Ah, I forgot something. I have a proposition."
And Briny said, "What proposition?"
"How about we have a friendly match between your friends and my friends?"
"And why would we do that? It's your friends who want to fight. Mine are quiet.", and then Briny looked at Raja and Lina and saw that they were stretching, which made her frown.
The Mind Demon then said, "Hm, how about we give you some of our orbs if you win?"
And Briny said, "We don't need them. We already have all the orbs we need."
The Mind Demon then said, "Hm, I already know!"
