111 Chapter 103 - Back to The Cave.

That night, in the resort, sightseeing platform. Chris is staring at the full moon while sipping a cup of black tea, he looks rather tired. Sky walks in and seated at his side.

"Chris, anything bothering you?" said Sky.

"Nothing much, just sorting out things in my mind." said Chris.

"Is there anything to do with the angels? They didn't hurt you... Right?" said Sky, a bit worried.

"Not really, those angels are not even worth to occupy my mind. Just that... Hey, can we go exploring the cave again tomorrow? That avalanche gives me some uneasy feeling about it." said Chris, still staring at the moon.

"Well, if you are concerned about that, I guess we should be taking a deep look into that cave." said Sky.

Chris did not give Sky any response, he sipped his tea, continue to stare at the full moon.

"Hey... Don't you think the moon looks beautiful tonight." said Chris.

"Heh? Chris, are you sure you are alright?" said Sky, worried about Chris.

"Mmm."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, the four of them entered the cave again, the girls are having some spa in the resort. The snow mountain is currently temporarily sealed off due to the earthquake and avalanche, they went in there with some 'special permission'. They found that the structure of the cave had changed due to the earthquake. The space in the cave has become wider, the crystals in the cave had grown and covered the cave wall even more than before. Most importantly, the mysterious magic force emitted from the deepest part getting stronger than before.

As they walk in deeper, Sky notices the uneasiness from Chris.

"Chris, are you alright?" he asks.

"I don't know... I feel familiar with this mysterious magic force and I don't like it." said Chris, slightly frowned.

"You know what this mysterious magic is?" Sky asks. Chris shook his head and they continue their exploration.

When they getting near the deepest part (where they found the mysterious pattern last time), they found that there isn't any small creature in that area, which is quite weird as that place was filled with all the harmless magical creatures last time they visited this cave, now the creatures are all gone, it seems like something had repelled them from inside. Then they reached the branching cave where the mysterious was located, but to their surprise, the branching cave is no more glowing with red light compared to their previous visit, it is replaced by some nasty mist that smells like rusty iron.

Chris covered his nose and mouth, he starts coughing and having difficulty to breaths.

"Chris!" Sky is worried about him.

"Don't worry about me." said Chris. Despite of the discomfort caused by the mist, Chris rushed into the branches cave as he has a bad feeling about this and he is right.

The wall where the magic patterns located at, is now totally destroyed. A long and seemly endless tunnel can be seen. Then he heard a sound, it's a woman's singing voice. As he heard the sound, some memories fragments emerged in his head...

"Get Itsuki out of this place now!" Chris shouted all the sudden.

"What..." Seito is a bit confused about what Chris said, but then he noticed one of Itsuki's eyes had turned red.

"Get him out of here now!" said Chris, even more anxious than before.

Then Sky put Itsuki to put sleep and instructed Seito to take Itsuki out of the cave with a teleport power crystal. Then Sky turned to Chris who is now sealing off the entrance of the tunnel with his magic as the mist getting thicker and the sound of woman's singing getting louder which gives Sky a bad headache...

As Chris had done sealing the tunnel, they exited the cave immediately with teleport.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Night time, they had returned to the resort safely from the icy mountain. Sky and Chris are in the lounge, examining some maps, Chris looks a bit weak and pale.

"Yes, this place is definitely the place shown in this map from Enma. Which is also mean this mysterious person here die inside that cave." said Chris while pointing at both of the maps on the table.

"Which also means that, these missing names in Enma's list actually existed. And might actually related to the Enomoto's clan if refer to this distribution map here." said Sky while examining another map.

"Mmm... Could it be that these missing names here on the list were recognized as the people from Enomoto's clan for some special reason? For example, they were actually protecting something that they need to be acting as people from Enomoto's family." said Chris.

"But that doesn't make sense, if so why would Mr. Shuiichi assigned killers to eliminate them if they weren't actually the real Enomotos. He can't know their special identity right?" said Sky which caused Chris to frowned a bit as he hasn't figured out the answer for that as well.

"Uhm... Chris, if you are not feeling well, let's go get some rest." said Sky, a bit concerned.

"Mmm... Ah... Hold on. You still remember that other quest right?" said Chris, out of the blues.

"Uh... Yes."

"Since I have sealed the whole cave, I believe that weird occurrence will not happen again, at least not before the seal been removed. So... We can still get that reward right?" said Chris.

"Ah... That's true! Let's go claim the reward tomorrow!" said Sky, super excited.
