Angele nodded his head and left the hall . He jumped off the floating island and started falling .
His body drew black string in the air and landed on the red snow directly .
*CHI*
The snow was so thick that it reached his waist .
Angele stood in the snow and glanced around, there was a bump slowly rising up from the right and the snow was sliding down the incline, revealing a red moth .
The moth had a furry body . It swang its wings slightly as it looked at Angele with respect in its large compound eyes .
"Master, the channel is open, please enter," the moth talked in a strange voice; it was speaking the universal ancient language .
Angele looked at the moth . "Where's the channel?"
The moth did not respond, it just opened its mouth slowly .
The moth's mouth was getting larger and larger . It kept expanding and looked like the entrance to a cave when it stopped .
The mouth of the moth turned into an entrance within seconds .
Angele peeked into the mouth of the moth and could see the wiggling pink flesh with purple blood veins on its surface . Also, he found some black cocoons among the gaps of the flesh .
The flesh was covered with sticky liquid and looked disgusting . The tunnel was leading down and was rather dark . Angele had no idea how deep the tunnel was .
Angele hesitated for a second and flew into the moth's mouth; the rotten smell quickly permeated the air .
He could hear the strange noises made by the sticky liquid . It sounded like someone was chewing .
*PA*
With a flick of Angele's finger, a ball of bright yellow flame appeared around his body and the tunnel ahead was brightened up .
Angele stepped on the soft flesh and walked down the tunnel . He advanced for more than ten minutes .
A spacious area finally appeared ahead . Two men with only the upper half of their bodies appeared on both sides of the walls . It looked like the bottom halves of their bodies were connected to the walls .
The two men were naked, but Angele was not sure about their gender . Their bodies were soaked in blood and had no skin . He could see the men's muscles and bones—they looked like two skinned bodies that were hanging on the walls .
Angele stopped in front of the two men .
"I assume you've received the order," he spoke in a low voice .
The two men raised their heads slowly and straightened their backs as they looked at Angele using their soulless eyes .
"Yes, Master, we've received the order… Please enter now…"
They moved their bodies to the side, so the tunnel was no longer blocked .
Angele walked into the tunnel and turned right; he quickly entered a hall with walls made of flesh .
The hall was egg-shaped and there was a reserved area for wardens . There were several men sitting around a black table . Those men had red skin and there were long black ponytails on their heads .
Angele observed them carefully and noticed that the ponytails were actually black centipedes; the spikes on the ponytails were the centipedes' feet .
The wardens were wearing black-red outfits, they looked just like human beings besides the centipedes on their heads .
They noticed that someone entered the hall and looked at the entrance . They realized that it was Angele and quickly ran to him, lining up by the entrance .
"Greetings, Master!" a female warden shouted in loud voice . The woman was chubby and heavy, she looked like a strange air balloon . Angele could barely see her feet .
"Greetings, Master!" There were around ten wardens and their genders varied . They all started shouting, but not at the same time .
Angele did not say anything; he just glanced at the table . There were two large caterpillars fighting against each other on the table—it seemed like the wardens had been watching the two caterpillars .
He glanced around .
The hall was full of prison cells .
All the real prison cells were built underground and Angele could only see the floors behind the railings . There were around ten prison cells here and there was a black stone plate on top of each prison cells .
"Do you imprison all the captured living beings here?" Angele wondered .
"Yes, Master!" the female warden answered loudly .
"Have you seen a human being that looks like this?" Angele waved his hand and released some black smoke . A pale face was created in the black smoke .
The pale face twisted and it looked like Suman .
The female warden turned around and shouted, "Look closely, everyone! Have you seen this human being?!"
The wardens observed the human face carefully .
"I think… he's in the fifth prison cell," a slim warden spoke in a light tone .
"Take me to him . " Angele nodded and looked at him .
The wardens led Angele to the fifth prison cell on the right . The warden opened the door and stepped into the cell . She lifted up the stone plate from the ground and revealed the spacious basement under the ground .
"Master, do you want to enter the cell or should we bring the person to you? I think around four to five other people were captured with this man and sent to the prison together," the female warden added .
"I'll go in myself," Angele spoke, "so you can just wait outside . "
"Sure . "
Angele arranged his long black robe and jumped into the basement .
There were many human-like creatures in the corners of the rectangular basement . Those creatures were naked and moved back slightly as they saw Angele landing on the ground .
"Green, is that you?" A man's voice came from the left .
Angele turned his head to where the voice came from and saw a man with dark skin standing up . It was Mincola, who helped Suman escape . Suman, Sella, and other members of Suman's team were standing behind Mincola .
Bella the blade dancer, Messiah the assassin, and Dorman the wizard were all here . However, they were all naked; it seemed like the wardens removed everything from their bodies when they were imprisoned .
"I didn't think that things would be like this . " Angele chuckled . "I wanted to know if you escaped successfully, but you were still captured . "
Suman and his team members slowly stood up . Suman stood in front of Sella and Bella as he glared at Angele with hatred in his eyes .
"You started everything, right?" Suman suddenly opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse and it seemed like he had not talked in a while . "You're just here to mock us, right?"
"Mock you? I don't have the time to do something like this . " The smile disappeared from Angele's face . "Be mature, Suman . You're too naive . This'll happen again if you don't change . "
However, Suman's eyes were still filled up with dedication .
"Anyway, I'm not here to educate you . I'm here to ask you about the concept gear . Suman, you're the owner of a concept gear; if you can tell all the information I need, I can release you from here . Think before you make the decision . I heard that you can't take off the concept gear like a shirt, which means you hid it somewhere safe and you can activate it whenever you want, right?"
Suman's face turned pale, it seemed like Angele was correct .
"Why do you need the concept gear? You're already strong!" Messiah questioned in a deep tone . He was no longer talking like he did not care, the recent events changed him .
"I'm just curious about the concept gear . Wizards are curious about all the things they're not familiar with, right?" Angele shrugged . "Also, concept gears might reveal a hidden secret for me . I really want to know how the concept gear pauses the time…"
"I can give you all the information I know if you let us go, but I just can't trust you," Suman spoke in a deep tone .
"I can kill you and read your memory if I want to . I'm just trying to solve the problem in a peaceful way . " Angele smiled .
Suman looked at his team members and calmed down . "Fine, I'll tell you everything . "
"Sounds good . " Angele nodded .
**********************
Ten minutes later…
On the Rayton Highland, Angele was standing in front of an entrance over the red snow . He watched Suman and his team members leave while thinking about something .
The red snowflakes covered his head and clothes, but he was not concerned .
*CHI*
The entrance behind Angele slowly closed and disappeared into the ground .
"I didn't expect the concept gear to be something like this…" He removed the snow from his robe, turned around, and started walking .
Although he released Suman and his team members from the prison, it did not mean that they would make it out safely . Monsters were everywhere on Rayton Highland; it was nearly impossible for them to leave the mist safely .
He stopped thinking about Suman and increased his speed . About half an hour later, he reached the main altar where Prince Evil Dragon fought against the Duke .
There were still blue flower petals on the shell-shaped stone pillar over the main altar; broken pieces of flesh and blood were everywhere .
Some of the shorter stone pillars were destroyed and the whole altar was a mess .
A ray of purple light came from the sky as Angele stepped on the edge of the altar . It stopped right in front of Angele and turned into a man in a heavy armor .
The armor on the man's body was silver and there were some purple crystals on the armor pieces . The purple cloak behind the man's back was damaged and his body was surrounded by a green glow .
The two purple flames in the man's helmets were his eyes .
"Vapor, I thought you already left this area . " Angele walked to the man and looked at the blue flower petals on the broken altar .
"No, I'm guarding this location . " Vapor's voice was mixed with static noise for some reason .
"Everything is prepared . Just activate your special ability and open the channel to the Fairy Realm . "
"That's what I came here for . " Angele nodded and crouched . He pressed on the blue flower petal and closed his eyes .
Vapor took several steps back and waited quietly aside .
The snow was still falling from the sky; the place was deadly silent . They just stayed there without making any noise .
