48 Chapter 46 - The Chained Creature

Sal is looking anxiously at the 'Priest' in front of his, instead of launching any attacks on Sal, the 'Priest' touched Sal's glove, Sal is really confused but he quickly realized who is that person in front of him through that familiar looking eyes and scar that are visible through the eye hole of the mask. As that person touched Sal's glove. It changes to the pair of gloves that Sal usually wears that enables him to use his demonic magic. Then that person hands over a wolf mask. Sal took it while giving him a weird smile...

Corrupted dimension... A grey gnome is leading Sky and Chris to a chamber that is used as a lab. Sky who is walking behind Chris look at him with an amazed look, he still can't believe how Chris tricked the little guy into believing them as a part of the scientists' team that run some experiments in this building, Chris tricked the gnome with just a pair of glasses that he usually uses for reading.

Later, the gnome led them to a room make with glass like materials, but as it is stained with blood and other unknown substance, it is hard to see what's inside. There is a very advanced lock on the door which requires the handprint of person with authority to unlock it. The gnome look at Chris indicates him to place his hand on the scanning pad. Chris hesitates for a while, then he removed his glove which is for hygiene purposes and places his hand on the scanning pad. Sky looks at the lock anxiously, but amazingly, the lock unlocked while Chris secretly giving Sky a V hand signal with his other hand. After the door unlocked, the gnome asked them to step back a bit, he slowly opened the door. As soon as the door is opened, a disgusting scent of a mixture of blood and rotten meat oozes out. Due to the intense smell, Sky covers his nose with his left hand while Chris coughed for a few times showing the sign of difficulty to breathe.

Later they entered the room and saw something that will probably be engraved in their memories. A red-haired creature is chained to the wall, its face had totally deformed, uneven fangs are exposed and stained with blood, its body is covered with different types of wound and scar, the room is extremely dirty with blood, rotten animals and some unknown substance. Chris recognized this creature with just a look. The gnome took a whip that is hanged on the wall and mercilessly whipped the creature making it retreat to the corner. Seeing this Chris is a bit enraged, he removed his magic seal, a unique pattern glows on his arm for a few seconds and faded. He stared at the gnome, his eyes glow with golden light and the gnome is surrounded with a weird white light, his body slowly disintegrates with an anguished expression. Sky calmly looks at the creature and asks: "Chris, that's Ruby right?" "Yes." Chris answered Sky's question while his eyes slowly turned back to normal.

Null dimension, Harold is trying to kiss Athena's face but he suddenly sensed some danger approaching, he successfully escaped the deadly demon claw from Sal, Harold is slightly surprised by the man with wolf mask in front of him, he never thought that the wolf guardian is still there despite they can't sense any of his presence. "Haha! Wolf guardian, so you are still here, after all, you are as sneaky as always don't you?" Sal ignores Harold's question and charges directly to Harold...

Corrupted dimension, Sky is face to face with Ruby who is now obviously out of control, his right palm is getting pierced through by Ruby's hand which had transformed into a big sting, his blood dripped down to the floor while Chris is on the floor in a half kneeling position looking at them with a slightly shocked look...
