"It's only last for three days, huh?" Asked Sky.
"Yea, and remember to hide your dimensional rings"
As they nodded, Luka tapped on Jim's head that departed with a click showing slave's like cloths.
"I tried to copy the fabric the best I could"
Taking it Sky then Natalie, they went into worm's half opened stomach and changed, while Feng changed quitly in the corner, where suddenly, he heard Luka's voice reminding him.
"I.. understand how you feel Feng, but like I said...our first priority..."
"Find an exit,....I know"
Feng cut him off while fixing the thin sleeves around his forearm.
"When should we move?"
Sky came out of the worm's viscera in knee length fitting dress followed by Natalie.
"The signal is the yellow light of the machine, when it dims a bit".
Everyone was ready in their spot, waiting for Luka's signal. He studied the situation with his eyes for the last time before jumping out of tunnel. With a medium-sized cannon dragged out his ring aimed on the machine...
"Hoping this ends well"
So he prayed firing a beam that hit the yellow light crashing it out causing a ground tremor. The slaves were flinched and laid down in fear and so were the guards suddenly snapped of their torpor.
"What happened?!" One of the guard shouted.
"We don't know! Part of the machine suddenly exploded! But I think I saw..." Another exclaimed but interrupted by the higher guard.
"You idiot!!! Inform miss Green now and wait for instructions!"
On the superior guard command and roaring at the nervous guard, he sprinted to a corner with less noice and draw out his spectral screen.
With a tap, a female voice raised yelling at him.
When he proceeded explaining what happened quickly unaware of the two figures passed by him in the dark to lay on floor like the other slaves.
"Huh? Why are you calling me for trivial matters? I hired Kale specifically to deal with these insignificant things! What the hell he is doing?" Shouted the woman with sharp tone that ran the shiver down his throat.
"H...he... in shipping level organiz..." Stuttered the poor guard. The woman interpreted him;
"What?... seriously why everyone just don't do their job properly, I will send a (B) ranked nightwalker for support. You better tell your superior to get there ass up before I come there and beat it".
Then the line was cut off and the gurad sigh with relief. Another explosion rang out making the sand blow up in the air making everyone near coughing loudly while they can't see anything.
Hearing the hurried feetsteps approaching in the tunnel, Luka withdrew the cannon back into ring then landed lightly and scanned his field, suddenly he heard a guard announcing loudly:
"Intruder! put your weapons down or else we will fire!" He menacingly aiming weapons at Luka. Luka breathe deeply then shouted even louder with finger point at the guard.
"All of you are disgrace of the humankind!! Can you see how thin and weak these people are!!!! You should be graa...SHIT!!!".
Luka grinned teeth holding his shoulder on the sudden pain. He didn't think they will shot him for real, not this early at least.
Tracking Luka's voice direction, the gurad jumped trapping him underneath his grip with gun pointed on his forehead.
"I got the intruder...number eleven, twelve on your left".
Luka felt his right shoulder will snap from the gurad's tight grip. Adding to it, the pouring blood on sand from his wound. Groaning in pain he saw flash lights coming to his direction and casted on his face.
"This is the intruder? He seems young"
A man wearing a gray suit, looked like a gurad
except for that broad 'G' letter standing out on his left chest, distinguished him from the others.
"S...sir Kale?" The guard seemed surprised.
Ignoring him Kale kneeled gripping Luka's hair lifting his head up.
"Hmm.., you look familiar younger man. What's your name?" Kale took a closer look.
Danger, is what Luka felt when Kale arrived he sensed his overwhelming mana. At this rate things will go down if this man interfered the plan. Biting his lips to get rid of the fear within him.
"Green, Luka Green " The pain of using the Green family name hurt more than his wounds. It tasted bitter.
Kale's nails dug into Luka's shoulder making him flinch with pain, but he bearded it.
"Green? What a joke! Sir kale let me handle the interrogation, I promise to teach him a lesson" The guard stated.
Kale didn't pay him an ear as he was eyeing Luka.
"Luka..? Ah...Oh! I remember now. Robert's discipline! Right?! What a nice coincidence!"
Kale laughed. Seeing his eyes sudden shifted into killing intent one, Luka got ominous feeling as everything clicked in his mind. For him, there's no coincidences, from why the teleport circle didn't work to this camp oddness.
"You made the biggest mistake coming here boy. I'll make you beg me to kill you then show your leftovers to that asshole old man" Kale threateningly grapped Luka's hair to just see him agonize in pain.
Struggling in Kale's grip he can see his smile growing wider as he summoned a gaint axe.
He didn't see this coming, asking himself where did he made mistake, his mind went blank.
And everything happened so fast for his mind to process as a sharp pain in his right shoulder impulsed to his whole body making him scream loudly. A feelingless laughter echoed, at the sight of cut limped arm on the ground.
"You Bastard!!" With tears shedding down hwr cheeks, Natalie dashed from the darkness waving a staff, shooting massive water bullets into him.
Kale waved the axe releasing a wind current that effortlessly blew her attack away.
"Oh,... so you got some friends with you, how exciting" He said resting his elbow on the axe stick, while never let go of Luka.
Hearing Natalie's voice, Luka consciousness came back slowly.
"..ex..ite,...Sky.." Muttering with sever pain while feeling numbness in his legs.
Nevertheless, with wavy blurred vision he gripped the hand, weak and devastated he was, it was a hopeless situation, and the plan is falling apart, but here he is, pulling himself up to stand before Kale who raised an eyebrow waiting to see his next struggle. When Luka's body suddenly covered with shiny aura accumulated bit by bit.
"Let..s..d..ie...toge...ther..."
Eyes widen with a hint of what Luka trying to do, Kale tried to let go of his head but it was no use as he feel intense heat melting his bronzer skin.
"You suicidal maniac!!" Kale cried.
Suddenly all the light from Luka's body faded, not only that but even the small flash light turned to dim then went off.
Not understanding what just happened Kale's eyes dozed on all the lights in the level that gathered in one place brightly that everyone closed their eyes upon.
"Thanks Luka!"
Unaware of the voices source, Kale searched round. When Sky stood onto machine with her eyes and sword glitch in white sparks, the light shaped into white phenix spreading it wings with glowing lights. Kale growled punching Luka with all his might.
"You tricked me is that what it is?!! You think you're smart to escape this place!!!"
Kale went berserk and threw him far. Natalie was there to catch him before his body hits the walls.
"Not on my watch kids!" Kale emphasized.
Another swing with the axe formed wind blades, cutting the space to where Sky is, Feng shielded her with claws extensions.
"Swarming one by one like bugs, I'll crush you all!" Kale calmed like the eye of a storm with a threatening gaze on his face.
