"Qii??" Four stares.
"Oh, you're still alive?" Qii smiles at Four and immediately grabs him by the neck and chokes Four.
'What... I can't breathe...' Four muttered.
"You see too much"
Qii throws Four over the cliff.
While Four is falling down, he can only look back on what just happened, he is slowly digesting everything properly.
'Over the line? Athena? Raa? Whatever it is, it doesn't seem to matter anymore, I'm going to die soon, Captain looks like we'll meet again' Four thought to himself.
....
....
*Thak*
Sounds of things sounded from outside the seal room.
"What... it's been a long time since I... heard a sound other than mine"
Seen someone started crawling toward the closed gate.
Suddenly the Gate began to glow. Magic circles started appearing in all corners of the room.
"What... The seal... disappeared."
After a while there was no more magic circle in sight.
This person started pushing the gate slowly, however it took quite a while as he had no more energy left.
The gate opens, and Four is seen lying down.
"Man?"
"How did it get here"
He crawls toward Four.
"Spider webs??"
Four's body is covered in cobwebs.
"Did he fall... from above!!?"
'This floor shouldn't be connected to the tower floor, how could it be here'
'Did his Seal Circle not work because it was covered in this guy's blood...'
With Four's remaining blood he draws a very complicated looking magic circle on the floor with Four as the core.
'He can still breathe, that means he can be a medium for my soul'
'Before this body disappears completely'
He cuts his finger and puts it on Four's forehead.
[Soul transfer ritual active]
Instantly his soul was absorbed into Four's body.
...
...
Inside Four's subconscious.
'It's too dark, is this body dead?'
'Supposedly if the body is dead the ritual will be canceled'
'Is his subconscious really like this... How do I find a soul Medium for this ritual... It's so dark'
Suddenly a pair of gigantic eyes appeared above him.
"I CAN'T DIE YET...IF I DIE, THEN THE CAPTAIN AND SILOS WILL DIE IN VAIN"
The voice sounded from all directions.
'What... his consciousness is slowly devouring my soul'
'if I don't find the soul medium then my soul will be completely devoured'
He saw a small light from a distance, he ran and tried to reach the light.
'The soul medium... just a little bit more'
Slowly his soul faded.
...
...
Four opens his eyes and smiles.
"This is life..."
"Did I come back to life..."
'Don't get excited brat, this is a mythological prison floor after all'
'To my knowledge there is no way out of here'
Four and this unknown individual form a contract, this individual will lend four powers in exchange for his soul not being devoured by four.
Well, even so this looks more like a threat than cooperation.
Four looks up at the spot from where he fell. But he couldn't see anything.
'Close one eye boy'
Four closes his eyes and suddenly what is in front of him becomes very clear.
'This is my innate ability when I was a climber back then'
'Half Dragon Eye'
But due to the limitations of 4's body, he can only activate a small part of the ability belonging to that unknown individual.
The structure where Four is located is almost the same as the tower. But even if his vision could be strengthened, he still couldn't see the end of where he fell.
'From what I know there is no return circle in this prison'
'This prison existed millions of years ago, and became a forgotten prison, not even a guard anymore'
"So you're saying we can't get out of this prison?" Four asked.
'No way in without way out'
Four follows his instructions and goes through floor after floor with hundreds of traps on each floor.
But thanks to his Half Dragon Eye ability he can easily avoid it.
"This is the twentieth floor but there is no sign of the end of this place yet"
'This is called a mythological prison, a money prison used to be used to restrain demonic demons who threaten the existence of gods'
"Does that mean you're a devil?"
'Eh, of course not, I used to be a climber just like you, but because of a little mistake I was sealed in this place'
You said this is a prison for demons, but I don't see a single sign of demons.
Four chatted as they continued up the floors of the next floors.
'Yes, it used to be like that'
'But the deeper down this place is, the slower the time will be from the floors above for the devils'
'Because basically this is a prison for devils, but because I'm not a devil, it seems that doesn't apply to me'
"So you're saying the devil here is dead"
'Well, the demons downstairs must be dead, but it's a different story with the demons upstairs'
'Do you remember when you fell out of nowhere...Your body was covered in cobwebs'
'Maybe that's why you're still alive, the cobweb slows you down'
"And that net belongs to a devil huh..."
...
Upon Four's arrival on the 45th floor a fishy smell started to waft.
Four is standing right in front of the gate on the 46th floor. He slowly opens it. The smell was getting thicker, and he saw hundreds of eggs that had hatched.
'The brat above you!'
Four looks up and jumps forward. Hundreds of spiders were seen hanging from the ceiling of the floor.
The spider starts shooting poison from its mouth at Four, while dodging the attacks, Four looks around and looks for the queen spider.
As instructed by an unknown individual. These spiders are the offspring of the demon known as Arachne.
This was a devil on the same level as the Dullahan.
But because of his extraordinary reproductive ability, he was imprisoned in this place.
"What can I do... in this situation?"
'Just beat the queen, then the puppies won't be a problem anymore'
"Huh... with bare hands??"
'You have my eyes, what are you afraid of'
