The dark aura was condensing into a single point and taking on a human form. That creature with a human appearance was sitting on a skeleton-like bed of dark shadows at the highest point and watching them.
A body of darkness, with many eyes on it, which made it more frightening. You felt that every single eye was watching you, as if you were facing a thousand people and they were all waiting to suck your blood.
After a few moments, Billy reached Tahel, now the two of them faced the creature. And there was a fight to the death between them.
That creature commands its shadows, and those shadows turned into many snakes and rushed towards Tahel and Bailey.
His main weapon was just a rusty rod that he found in a corner. And it was not clear how long he could last against those attacks.
And Billy also only had a one-handed dagger, and he was good at close range surprise attacks, it was hard for him to fight with so many enemies.
However, the creature stared down at the scene below, which seemed like fun for the shadow ghost. Because it could see those pathetic people with the pleasure of paddling.
A bunch of small and big snakes were get towards Tahel and Bailey, they could hardly deal with that amount of them. Tahel hit several snakes with that metal rod and tried to save himself from their encirclement. But his kick was not very effective, because there was not much power in it.
Because of this, one of the snakes went towards Tahel and wanted to bite him, at that moment Billy stopped him with his dagger and split the snake into two halves.
And with one hand, he grabbed the back Tahel's collar and saved him from the siege of those snakes.
**********
Karina and Josh reached the planning room. Karina hurriedly asked:
"Sister Elaine, brother Zack, how are you?!"
Elaine and Zach answered him. "We're fine."
As Karina and Josh arrived, they decided to head for the stairwell to get out of the underground.
"Maybe something happened to Billy and Tahel," Josh said worriedly.
Zack said calmly, "Don't worry, Billy will take care of himself. We'd better hurry. I'm afraid that boy will get into trouble."
With Karina's help, they found their way to the staircase, but when they were about to go up, suddenly the dark and dense aura that covered the whole place disappeared and they regained their vision.
Josh said with a shocked expression:
"Wow... what's up, what happened?!"
At this moment, no one knew what was happening, so they hurriedly made their way to the ground floor and climbed the stairs.
After a few minutes, they reached the ground floor of the building. And they could not believe what they were seeing.
There were many shadow snakes rushing towards a certain direction, and a dark shadow with a human form was among them.
They thought to themselves, surely the place where those ugly and scary snakes are rushing towards is the spot where Billy and Tahel are.
Zack ordered the rest of the group without speaking and pointing.
They must rush towards the shadow ghost before it notices them, in order to reduce the pressure on Billy and Tahel. And at this moment, Josh secretly goes to Bailey and Tahel to help them.
So they carried out their plan.
Is everything as simple as they think?
The shadow ghost had already sensed the existence of other people in that building and knew that there were other people besides those two people.
So when they reached the ground floor he noticed them.
As Zack approached the platform made of shadowy skeletons, the skeletons suddenly opened their mouths and metal claws were thrown at him, each claw decorated with a skull.
Zack tried to dodge those rakes when suddenly the ground under his feet turned into a swamp and trapped him, causing Zack to slow down and be shackled by those rakes.
At this moment, Josh, who wanted to go to Billy, stopped and decided to help Zack, to escape from the captivity of those rakes.
But Elaine shouted and said:
"Josh..., just go. We'll handle it ourselves. You have to help Billy and Tahel."
When Josh heard Elaine's order, he was a little hesitant, but he believed in their ability, so he went faster towards the place where Billy and Tahel were.
Zack, who was still in the captivity of those claws, used his ability to freeze, and those claws and the ground under his feet froze, so he was able to save himself.
He pointed at Elaine and at that moment Elaine used Wave Breath, an ability that emits a very powerful sound wave that destroys anything in its path. Like the wave that occurs after the explosion of a bomb.
So she directed the sound wave towards the shadow ghost, at that moment Elaine's hair was shining like a beautiful star and her eyes became like jewels.
A powerful wave of sound was sent towards that being, a muted sound that humans couldn't hear and high-ranking people could only sense its aura.
But when that creature noticed the strong aura that was coming towards it. It could barely prevent it with its dark aura and take less damage.
Because of that sound wave, some of those snakes died and a few of them remained.
At the same time, Billy and Tahel were barely resisting, Billy, who had lost a lot of his stamina due to dodging those snakes and sneak attacks, and was no longer able to fight back.
Tahel was not in a good condition like him, probably his condition was worse than him. The metal rod he was holding was destroyed early in the fight. He was just an extra burden on Billy's shoulders up to this point. this made him feel uncomfortable, it looked terrible for Tahel.
So he tried to avoid the attack of those creatures as much as he could. But it was not so easy.
Because that creature was not enjoying the game, the shadow ghost was looking for more excitement to fight and he wanted to smell the blood in that space.
Not this cat and mouse game.
So it made the conditions difficult and sent moving skulls with a spider-like body to them except for those snakes.
But at that moment, a huge wave of energy rushed towards it and caused it to lose some of its strength.
Tahel and Bailey were shocked when they saw that scene. After seeing that scene, Billy realized that they were finally saved and that the rest of the group were here too.
A few seconds after that attack, they noticed that Josh had fallen on those snakes with a big mallet and was crushing them like mincemeat and was approaching them.
This made Tahel and Bailey breathe a sigh of relief.
"Hufff..."
Seeing its plans messed up, the Shadow Ghost got angry and released more pressure. which made Tahel and Billy, who had less endurance, to be nailed earlier than the others.
Josh had a hard time resisting that monster, even Elaine and Zack had the same situation.
But for Karina, everything was different. She was also nailed by that pressure, but her body was in a strange position.
