Chris thought for a while before lift up his right hand in front of that deformed man, scary dark red aura can be seen leaking out of his hand. He hesitated for a while, then, he retracted his offensive magic and changed to a barrier while healed the other survivors in the locked cell rooms.
"Uhm... Chris, you don't really have to do this. You know, it's easier to finish them off for good compare to preserving their life." said Sky, Chris glared at Sky for a while, rather surprised with his words.
"That doesn't sound like anything that would come out of your mouth, but don't worry, I have my own reasons for doing so I had send an order to the Kingdom for reinforcement, they will be here in thirty minutes." said Chris, as of nothing wrong with that statement.
" Ah... Are you a tyrant? " Sky asked.
*If you still remember, the time perception in Kapis Dimension has a big difference with the normal time, thirty minutes means that Chris in fact only give them one minute to get everything prepared for reinforcement, and why did Chris have the authority to do so? Well, as Maria said, it's obvious, right?
"Let's explore this place a bit more while waiting for the reinforcement." said Chris ignored Sky's question.
Sky sighed and followed Chris into the dungeon.
"Be careful, there are poisonous and corrosive gases all over this dungeon, so, watch out." said Chris.
"Even without the poisonous gas, with all these gases emitted by all these dead bodies, it's deadly enough." said Sky.
"Don't worry, that's why I give you that mask, the herbs inside are very effective in cleansing this sort of thing." said Chris.
Sky nodded and so they continued the exploration.
The atmosphere around the dungeon is heavy and extremely humid, the bad atmosphere caused a slight discomfort for the two Immortals, and the disgusting sights of all the rotten corpses worsen the condition. Chris stopped his steps, he looks a bit irritated. Chris ticked his fingers and disintegrated most of the rotten corpses in their range of view, leaving one that looks less rotten.
"I leave this for sample collection." said Chris.
"I see... But are you sure it's alright to constantly waste your magic like this?" Sky asked, rather concerned.
"Well... For me, those eyes pollution is a bigger concern compared to that." said Chris which left Sky speechless.
As they advanced, they started to find something really wrong with this underground dungeon. Dead rotten corpses can be seen again, this time not only in the locked cell rooms, but there are also dead bodies in the open area of the dungeon as well, however there is something weird about this batch of dead bodies that Chris did not 'clean them up' as the previous batches.
"Chris? Anything special about these corpses?" Sky asked.
Sky observed the corpses as well.
"Indeed, there are some rather weird spots, like these scaly areas. Kirin Demon?" Sky asked.
"I don't think so, although it's kind of looks like Kirin Demon, but there's some unexplainable difference. By the way, don't you realize that the skin of your hands had started to peel off due to the corrosive air?" said Chris, in a rather calm tone.
"Eh? Ah! When did this happen?" said Sky, rather clumsy.
"Another thing is that, I think there's another contaminating content in the air here aside from the corrosive and poisonous substance." said Chris.
"Eh? Even with the face mask, you are able to feel it?" said Sky, a bit amazed.
"In fact, I didn't, my body kind of reacted to it." said so, Chris showed Sky his wrist where the blood vessels twitched on its own at a fast pace.
"That looks similar to what happened when you directly contacted the Kirin's blood in the past, are you alright?" Sky asked.
"Don't worry about me. But I don't think this is Kirin's blood or the synthetic Kirin's blood, it's similar but different... Hmm?... Did you heard that?" said Chris as they suddenly heard some growl and screech from a cross-section at their left side.
"Ah... This sound, I have a really bad feeling about that." said Sky.
"Let's check it out anyway... It's not like we could retreat anymore at this stage." said Chris.
"Yes, indeed." And so, they walked towards the direction on the growl.
After a short while, they finally found the source of the noises. It's from a swarm of deformed humanoid creatures with red eyes and fangs in four big cages, some of them can be clearly identified as Kirin Demon while the remains are the first time to be seen by the two Immortals. In the middle of them is a half-dead man that been hanged on the ceiling with an iron chain, that man is another person that is said to be chosen to the Eternal Paradise.
"I guess we found what we are looking for." said Sky. "Mhmm." Chris agreed

Meanwhile, homestay.
Ben is in his own room where it is now invaded and surrounded by a whole group of Black Robe people that is lead by a lady in a rather fierce outfit.
The lady is currently waving a sharp blade in front of Ben.
"Tell me, why are the others?" the lady asked.
"You know it's really dangerous to play with a sharp blade like this." said Ben, obviously doesn't plan to answer her question.
The lady was enraged by Ben's attitude and brutally gripped Ben's collar.
"Don't play fool with me!" She yelled.
"Hah... I thought ladies in this town are all gentle and nice, I guess you are a different case." said Ben, still remain unwavered.
The lady pushed Ben to the ground and caused his glasses to drop off.
"Tell me! Where are the others?" She yelled again.
Ben sighed before slowly picking up his glasses and keep it in his pocket.
"Well, if I tell you I don't know, would you accept it?" said Ben...

*Something out of the story
Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
