As the Tanzanies and Bong walked down the corridor, the underground corridor looked more and more like an underground dungeon. The walls on both sides were covered with unknown marks; long slashes, as if someone had clawed into the wall. Although the corridors appear relatively clean, from time to time, they encounter bone fragments. As the Tanzanies and Bong continued deeper, although the air in the underground corridor was thick and dusty, it was not difficult for the Tanzanies and Bong to breathe.
U-ri, walking behind Yul and Abrafo said, "It looks like no one has been here for a long time. The bones we encountered are all old bones."
Yul said, "The lack of new bones is good news."
Abrafo turned back to looked at U-ri and asked, "Do you want to come across new bones?"
U-ri who was walking behind Yul and Abrafo said, "I was just expressing my opinion."
Hajime, who was last in line, said, "If there are no known bones, that means the only one we have to fight is Eldrys."
Bong chuckled and said, "What does this mean? Should we consider ourselves lucky?"
Michio said, "Yes, because we don't have to fight with others, but I still don't understand why this place is called No Man's Land despite being a long corridor?"
Bong asked, "Did the monkey trick us?"
Hajime said, "I don't think...so..."
Hajime heard a low growl coming from behind him, as if someone was grinning. He slowly turned his head to look and saw a pair of bright yellow eyes approaching him slowly. Hajime quickly pulled out a yellow talisman from his robe and shot the yellow talisman directly into the yellow eyes.
As bright magic arrows shot into the darkness, the five people walking in front of Hajime turned around and saw six black wolves roaring at them. Hajime slowly backed away towards U-ri while Michio and Bong slowly moved towards Hajime. The four Tanzanies and Bong all drew their weapons, their eyes only fixed on the slowly approaching pack of wolves.
Yul said calmly, "Michio... fire talisman." He slowly pulled the sword out of the scabbard on his back. "Abrafo leads U-ri forward."
Michio slowly stood next to Hajime and took out the talisman from his sleeve. He glanced at Hajime and nodded at Hajime. He raised the talisman to his chest, the fire talisman lit up, and then quickly sent the fire talisman at the wolf pack.
The fire talisman broke into small particles and hit the faces of the wolves, causing the wolves to roar even more angrily at Michio. At this time, Michio had already issued another talisman. Michio and Hajime quickly walked towards Bong and Yul, and then the third wolf pounced on Michio.
Michio swung his three-section staff and hit the wolf in the face, causing the wolf's head to hit the wall. Michio's actions only made the other wolves angrier, and the wolves continued to pounce on Michio and Hajime.
Hajime kicked a wolf that jumped at him, and when his left arm was pulled back, Yul jumped up from behind Hajime and slashed at another wolf that jumped out from Hajime's left.
Yul turned to Hajime and shouted, "Go protect U-ri." He thrust his sword at the other wolf.
Bong, who was holding U-ri's hand and walking towards Abrafo, suddenly stopped. He felt the ground beneath his feet began to collapse. He was afraid that U-ri would fall with him, so he quickly pushed U-ri forward just in time as the ground beneath him broke. He grabbed hold on the edge. Bong grunted and tried to pull himself up, but due to his poor grip, only his fingers gripping the edge, it was difficult for him to have enough grip to pull himself up. He looked down to see where he was but saw only darkness.
Abrafo turned around when he heard the sound of the ground collapsing but only saw U-ri falling to the ground, and Bong suddenly fell into a hole in the ground.
"Bong!" Abrafo shouted, rushing past U-ri towards the open hole.
"Pull me up! Come on!" Bong yelled and turned to looked at the darkness beneath his foot, but this time, he saw bright red eyes staring at him from the darkness. "Hurry! There are things down there!"
As Abrafo got closer to the collapsed ground, the ground beneath his feet began cracking. Abrafo was afraid that he would expand the cracks in the ground and quickly backed away. From where he stood, the only thing he could see was Bong's hands still clutching the edge of the opening.
"Bong, hold on," Abrafo said looking around, but there was nothing useful that he could use to help Bong.
The ground began cracking open towards Hajime, Yul, Michio and the wolves. Hajime knew that summoning his eagle was the best option at this time, but his eagle was too big to fly through the narrow corridor, so he instead summoned his panther to fight the wolves. He threw the wooden lady to the ground and vines began to rise from the ground, grabbing Bong's hand and pulled Bong out of the hole towards the side where Abrafo stood. A small vine bridge was soon formed from where Hajime stood to where Abrafo stood.
Hajime looked back at Yul and Michio, "Guys, it's time to go!" Hajime quickly crossed the small bridge road and walked towards the other side. "Yul! Michio! Cross the bridge now!"
Yul pushed Michio towards the vine bridge. "Michio, you go first," Yul said, who was walking backwards towards the vine bridge. Yul remained on high alert, holding the sword tightly in his right hand, watching the black panther fight the last two wolves.
When the back of his left foot touched the vine bridge, Yul quickly turned around and rushed towards the others. When Yul and the others reached the other side, the wooden lady disappeared, and the black panther also disappeared.
Hajime put the two wooden figures back into his cross bag and turned to the others. "This is no ordinary corridor; we have to be careful."
After several turns, the Tanzanies and Bong arrived at a stone door standing in the air.
"Are we going in or not?" Michio said, looking at the others.
The Tanzanies and Bong looked around and it seemed like there was no more corridor. It seems that this is what they came here for.
Hajime turned to the others and said, "I'll go in first. If anything happens, I'll call for help."
Yul said, "You open the door, but everyone goes in at the same time." Yul looked at everyone. "Just in case, if we can't go back the way we came, there won't be anyone left behind."
Hajime opened the door and saw his bedroom, and his jaw dropped. In front of him was the bedroom he hated most. His feet dared not take another step into the room. He saw the small bed and the old table by the wall.
Yul turned to Hajime and asked, "What's wrong? Why don't you go in?"
Hajime frighteningly said, "I... I don't want to go in."
Yul stared at the room, and Yul didn't dare to go in. He saw a room filled with the bodies of people he knew, lying on top of each other. "What did you see?" He turned to ask Hajime.
Hajime said, "I saw my old bedroom." He turned to look at Yul. "You? What did you see?"
Yul said, "I saw a room full of dead people."
Abrafo giggled and said, "No, it's a room full of naked women."
Bong grabbed onto Abrafo's hand and pulled Abrafo back to him. He looked into the room and asked, "Why are my father and my brothers standing there?"
U-ri looked into the room and saw his dead wife drying medicine on the table and smiling at him. He turned to Michio and asked, "Michio, what about you? What do you see?"
Michio walked into the room, looked back at everyone, and said, "I didn't see anything in it. It was just an empty room with a small white lit candle on the table."
U-ri said, "Alright, you go into the room and take out the white candle."
Michio turned back and asked, "Why me?"
U-ri said, "Because you are the only one who can't see the violence in that room, you are the best suited to go in." U-ri turned to the others. "I bet the white dragon tail is in there."
Michio walked into the room and started walking towards the lit candle on the table. He grabbed the candle on the table and started walking towards U-ri and the others when bright yellow eyes started emerging from the dark room.
Bong shouted, "Michio, be careful!" Michio turned around and saw a green goblin rushing toward him with a small sword.
Michio kicked the goblin to the ground and then ran towards the door. When Michio run out of the door, the candle in Michio's hand was no longer a candle, but a bone.
Abrafo and Yul quickly closed the door and said, "Let's go..."
The original stone door slowly transformed into a stone double-winged dragon. The stone dragon slowly cracked open, revealing shiny green-red scales.
"Eldrys... it's Eldrys," Bong said.
Yul said, "Let's go! Maybe we could still trap Eldrys inside."
Abrafo said, "Let's make it fast. We got little green men after us."
Michio handed the white dragon tail to U-ri and quickly pushed U-ri in the direction they came from.
Hajime yelled, "Bong, lead U-ri back."
The Tanzanies began to advance towards the main entrance, fighting green goblins at the same time. Bong and Michio rushed in front, and U-ri began to advance towards the main entrance.
The stone that kept Eldrys frozen in place cracked, and Eldrys's red eyes finally opened after being imprisoned for decades.
