Gabriel and Hizo continued their search, looking in corners and everywhere.
Finally, Hizo managed to see strange wall drawings near a decaying human skeleton sitting down. "Ewh, Gabriel come here!"
Quickly, Gabriel ran close to Hizo, entering one of the prison cells.
Looking at the strange wall drawings together with Hizo. "Hmm, it seems this will be our clue to find the forced labor site."
"Yes! Here it is! The clue. We just need to solve the puzzle in this drawing." they both looked closer.
"Hmm, let's see. On the left, there's a drawing like a human skull, in the middle there's a drawing of the sun? Heh, okay. And on the right, there's a drawing of a mountain? Maybe." Gabriel said, still confused.
"We start at the human skull, hmm... What does it mean to kill? Or a place? If we refer to a deadly place, it would be the Underworld, where the souls of the dead reside." Gabriel said, placing his finger on his chin.
"Underworld? It seems like a very dangerous place." Hizo said, with confused.
"True, the Underworld is near the demon lord's palace. If the second image points to the sun's perspective, then the sun will indeed be directly above the forced labor site."
Gabriel continued, "Hmm, there's only one place where the sun usually stands directly above, which is the place to the right of the Underworld and to the left of the snowy mountain."
Gabriel stood up from his squatting position. "If that's true, we must obtain permission to approach the Underworld. And that permission is quite difficult to obtain..."
"Unless, we use Thomas as bait and force the guards to obey us, and if they dare to fight back, we'll simply kill Thomas."
"Thomas is not a very strong threat to us; he's one of the weakest subordinates of the demon lord. We just need to outsmart him and trick Thomas back."
Hizo stood up from his squatting position and bowed his head. "Alright, I'll follow whatever happens to save my grandfather."
"Alright, before that, we must help Kaizoku first."
Gabriel hugged Hizo and released the Wings of Veracity to fly up. Gabriel passed through a secret passage in the backyard.
A bright light emerged from Gabriel's wings, instantly blinding everyone.
"AAAGGGHHH! What is this light!" Kaizoku said, covering his eyes.
"Gahahaha! Help has arrived!" Hizo jumped down from Gabriel's embrace, followed by Gabriel landing on the ground.
"You guys are quite troublesome, and you guys are never been grateful!" Lord Thomas said, clenching his fists in anger.
"Master Ishayaki will surely be angry hearing that you are outside his rules. You will never be safe!"
Suddenly, after Lord Thomas finished his santances, Gabriel threw the Masayoshi sword directly into Lord Thomas's chest.
Due to the powerful throw, Master Thomas was flung back, destroying the wall of his white house. One of the guests saw Master Thomas being impaled.
The guest immediately ran away in fear.
"Hah, how dare you scare my guests. How dare you destroy my party! Hah! You must be taught a lesson!" Lord Thomas rose from his fall, pulling Gabriel's sword from his chest and throwing it back at Gabriel.
