"Oh nice!"
Frank felt stronger right away, as he gained six levels, and he even found the giant skeleton dropped a Skill Book! Without even waiting, he rushed down the pit. He floated using the {Gravity Sphere} Spell.
"Yeah, I've been wondering the same thing," nodded Matsuo. "Usually Contaminated Domains are made up over time, but even if that was the case... Gashadokuro most of the time aren't born at all naturally. They're usually Familiars of powerful Sorcerers. Born from dozens or hundreds of sacrifices."
"Hm, if that's the case we might end up confronting a person, not just more Yokai," said Frank. "Let's be careful then."
"Yeah, let's go, we can't waste time after all," Matsuo agreed.
The party quickly advanced through the labyrinthian ancient Japanese house made of wood and paper, from room to room, they battled more Lesser Yokai.
Sometimes, they confronted Gashadokuro "Pieces" their skull, or a large arm, or even their hands or foot, but never a complete one.
"This is ridiculous! How long does this goes for?" wondered Harumi. "We've already swept through over ten more rooms with Yokai inside! And those Gashadokuro Pieces are unnerving! It is as if many are being made at the same time... What's going on in here?"
"This is strange..." Matsuo nodded. "Not something normal when conquering Corrupted Domains... Perhaps we should go back and report to our superiors about what's happening here. They might send people more qualified and stronger to deal with this problem."
"Wait a moment. I don't want my mother to keep treating me like a child," said Harumi. "I came here because she said this was my test of adulthood... I can't just leave."
"But Harumi, it's dangerous even for you..." sighed Matsuo, and then he glanced at Frank. "Frank, what do you think?"
"I..." Frank was thinking. "I guess it is better to stay, if Harumi will be adamant about it, we can't really stop her, knowing her personality."
"Hah, you're not wrong... It wouldn't sit right with me to leave her abandoned while we run away either, I've a man after all!" Matsuo smiled.
"So you're coming?" Harumi felt a bit surprised over Frank's support.
"Yes, let's go. Let's complete this together," said Frank. "However... if we end up confronting
a sorcerer beyond our power, we'll escape. Okay? promise us." "I..." Harumi was going to argue but ended agreeing. "Ok. Fine..."
"Alright," nodded Frank. "Let's go then, we can't waste time."
As Frank led the trio, Harumi and Matsuo were surprised of the maturity Frank was showing,
his way of talking and everything, he had definitely changed in the past days.
Unknowingly to them, what awaited them at the top floor of the labyrinth was something way
beyond their expectations.
"Ah, they're here... Fufu. It's time for you to wake up, Frank~"
