Chapter 56 - Cold Dive

The squad left the room with Arthur walking in the last no. he had angered everybody by giving Rage a weird medicine that forced vomit out of him. Jinx leads the way holding a candle in his hand.

They walked through a dark hallway with no windows and only one candle leading their way.

"I think it's quite dark, why don't we use som more lighting?"

Rage asked a question that was going on nearly everybody's mind.

"Because we will die then. The walls have air ventilation but it too low to the point where burning a torch for a hour or so will burn the entire air in the hallway."

"Damn it."

The squad moved through the hall, taking two turns; they encountered a narrow path that wasn't easy to pass through.

"This is a pain, how can we just moved though it?"

The ladies were complaining, but the team had to go forward, and they walked a long path through the narrow path making several turns along the way.

"Finally!"

After a while, they reached their escape point, and the hallway again became open to moving around; after a while, they reached an ending door with a handle that could be seen

"A door? Arthur, according to your explanation, this leads to a gate to the top of the walls but thinking about the number to turn we have taken and the fact that we haven't gained altitude at all, it seems wrong."

"The map was different the maps which are out today, I assumed this path goes considering the other lines and patterns but it feels like it is a different route all along."

"...."

This was a big problem considering their plan could fall apart, and they have to switch to another plan if the path led to a totally unexpected place.

"We are in deep trouble, there isn't enough air left in the enovirmonemt, goifn back isn't a option now."

The team had reached that room, as it was connected to the system of rooms they were pre-informed about, but there were no places to run now.

"Arthur do you have any idea about where we are right now?!"

Arthur gave a straight and sharp reply it was not time to joke, they all could instantly walk into their death is the analysis was wrong.

"Considering our location on the map, there were 6 turns, but three of them were just loops to bring to a particular place, it was the narrow paths."

"Yes, but it still doesn't answer the question."

"Then we just moved forward, wondering that we should be at the archer's cabin in the southwest wall pillar."

"But there isn't one?!"

"There isn't one if you don't know about the map, it is hidden and it's perfect for us."

"How?"

"First, open the door."

"We need to open it first? Hmmmm.... Albert and Rage you both are up."

Albert and Rage were the physically most muscular guys in the team their physicals were unmatched during their training.

"Push it as hard as you can."

The two got their shoulders ready, the door was to be tightly locked since it should be unmoved since it's creation.

"1,2,3 go!!!"

"!!!!"

The two held and pushed the door, but the door wasn't closely held in the first place, the two just fell ahead on the floor into the next room.

"Hahaha"

The team got a laugh out of the comedy of the two, but Jinx didn't laugh and got to Rage and Albert.

"Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't test it first it's my fault. Are the two of you ok?"

He held a hand towards Albert, you clutched it and got up while Rage got up on his own and cleaned his clothes.

"ya, I am fine. You good, Albert."

Albert just nodded and made hand signs telling them he was fine.

"I don't understand sign language but I think it's fine. Being unable to speak is really hard."

Rage gave a sympathetic response to Albert, who just gave Rage an eye blink and a smile.

"The room has more lighting than I expected."

The room was bright, with many small holes pouring bright light from both sides, making it fairly visible.

"Yes, it is just as expected now, Rage get your fists and break this stone here or just put some cracks."

"You know, I really hate you."

Rage pulled out his fists and got in position in front of the stones to get the stone.

"!!!"

He punched the stone with his fists, putting a crack right in its centre, it was seemingly going to crumble to just a simple touch now. The sound was the hit was sent to everybody around.

"Easy work."

but Rage's fists didn't have a single scratch on them, they looked brand new.

"Remove the prices of the stone, and we will get the best possible result."

Arthur and Jinx moved ahead and removed the pieces of stone remaining, opening a window to the outside world.

"That was that you wanted to how show me?"

"The pool down below, this is the best case scenario."

"What?"

"The five of you can jump directly into the pool down below without getting to the top of the castle and I can climb to the top and get my view of the situation."

"Just as planned then, we will light the city of fire and then you subdue the captain to get the castle to surrender by making him fire the green flare."

"I am not going to dive in that much cold water!"

Asuka complained about the water bringing and looking cold, as the wind was getting sharp and clouds were hiding the sun. The weather was chaining quickly.

"We have to take the cold dive now, or it will rain and we will not get any progress."

"..."

"Get ready everybody, we will be going in."

"Before you go, Jinx were is the bag of paper, I gave you to hide?"

"It is in the same room as your gun, I didn't look through it but what were they??"

"No, it's nothing. They are worthless right now but they might be worth something in a while."

"Okay, everybody let's dive."
