The Shadow...(B2ST) part 19
Note: Yuri will now act a little bit towards her dark personality since she just got her dark counterpart back.
Du Jun POV
ROARRRRRRRRR!!!!
Gosh! What was that?! Where the heck am I?! As soon as I woke up from that bizzarre dream, I found myself on an ice platform which was pretty much on top of a bottomless floor. Great...those people left me here and beat the crap out of the demon?? Unfair.... Hm...just why did I feel unease when I saw Hyun Seung holding Yuri's hand? But right now, I somehow felt relieved because someone other than me was protecting her.
I quickly stood up and swept the dust of my pants and began to look for them, while jumping from one platform to another.
"Yoon Ki! Get away from there!" A voice that sounds like Jun Hyung shouted. I guess they need my help, kekeke.
I quickly jumped off the platform and to the bottomless floor(?) But as soon as I did, I found my self making eye contact with the monster that we were fighting a while ago. And I was jumping in slow motion(lol)!! As if by reflex, I used my shadow multiplicTion and cadt it onto it's neck and it's claws like a chain, to stop it from hurting the others.
"Hyung! You made it on time! We are saved!" Yoseop cheered as he put his fist up in excitement. It was just a coincidence, Yoseop-ah...
"Yoseop, purify this demon. You gotta keep it up not just standing there cheering like a kid," Jun Hyung snapped him before the dragon let out a roar, to which Yoseop saluted.
Yoseop quickly ran to a perfect spot and sing his purification song. And slowly, the song calmedthe dragon and slept as it glow. The dragon slowly faded away like thousands of fireflies that lit the dim sky. But there'a a slight pause during the purification...don't tell me that kid was still in a daze? Fortunately, Yoseop ended the song as tears rolled down from his eyes and his lips curved with a sad smile.
"Sister..."
His sister?? But how did she became a dragon? I turned my face to where Yuri was standing and there, she waved at the light? What is she doing?
Yuri POV
That dragon was after all being cursed by the villagers...I don't really know why but it seemed like it was trying to tell me that it wanted to return to Yoseop's side. Basically, I placed a protection charm on its body and also on Yoseop's secretly. Who knew that I get to listen on their conversation by accident.
Flashback...
The dragon began to glow as Yoseop sang. Immediately, I saw a girl's figure appearing from the light. She had pale skin with brown hair and she looks alot like Yoseop to be honest.
"Brother! I get to see you finally!" The girl said as she ran towards her brother, to which Yoseop looked surprised.
He quickly hugged her Like a teddy bear. As for I, I just stood there and watch their small reunion. How nice it is to have a sibling....
"Oppa...on behalf of mom and dad, I wanted to apologize to you that they chased you out of the house and caused you to suffer," his sister began with a sad face.
"No you don't have to apologise for them neither do they need to...cause you guys did nothing wrong," Yoseop assured with a smile but faded away once he saw his little sister glowing all of a sudden.
"I guess this will be our separation for now...I'm running out of time because of the curse that was lifted a whilr ago so my physical remains are fading away along with my soul," she explained.
"Wait...you were that dragon?! But who did that? And you're leaving me now when we just reunited?!" Yoseop bursted with a shocked face, to which his sister just smiled as a yes. "Andwae! You must be kidding me...this has to be a lie!"
"It's true...I'm going to be somewhere else for quite a while now but I don't know when will I get to see you again," she said as a tear trickled from her eyes. "Thank you for letting me see you here and sorry that I couldn't stay withyou for long." And left as she glowed all of a sudden, leaving Yoseop and I stunned.
End of fashback...
"Yoseop, why are you crying?" Jun Hyung asked as he patted his friend's head.
"Huh? Oh...um, nothing..." Yoseop replied as he wiped the tears from his face using the back of his hand.
"Let's go! We got no time to lose!" Yoon kI beamed bravely. "My sister's waiting!" With a huge grin which made me felt a sting in my chest. How am I going to explain to him?
Somehow, the broken walls and the remains had disappeared all of a sudden and the room slowly transformed into a corridor, whoch leads to a big grand door, carved with designs. Just on the door, there's a special and mystical looking doorknob and a keyhole.
"Dead end?" Yoseop asked as he inspected the door carefully.
"Nope, we are still on the right track...just that we'll be going go have a hard time to unlock this keyhole!" Jun Hyung stated as he was reading TurquoiseEyes's strategy book.
"You're still reading that when we are in a pinch of salt??" I asked, which earned myself a smile from Jun Hyung instead. Weirdo.
"Well, it's more like be ready for anything," Jun Hyung stated, which made me gave him deadpan eyes instead. "Guys, how do you normally unlock a keyhole?"
"We need that damn key, dude!" Hyun Seung stated with swag. "Without it, we're like hamsters trying to lift a rock!"
"Why not just use a lock picker or a pin?" Anybody has one?" I asked.
"I do!" Yoon Ki said as he gladly pulled out a lock picker from his pocket. He can be useful at times. "I'll take it from here..." He approached the door and used the lock picker on the keyhole itself. It worked, fortunately.
Yoon Ki took this chance to turn the doorknob but it was useless. The door just won't open. In a precise timing, Jun Hyung blasted the door open with his kick, which startled Yoon Ki by the second.
"Oh, so that's how you usually open the door normally after unlocking it," Jun Hyung stated while tapping his chin in delight, as if he just done something that made him felt proud.
"Someone could have gotten hurt, dude!" Du Jun yelled as he held that poor little Yoon Ki up.
"What a dunce who don't even know how to open a door properly..." I muttered under my breath. "We gotta hurry...there's not much time left!"
The boys and I entered the opened path, that leads us to another flight of endless-looking stairs. The next thing we knew was, we ended up in a confusing labyrinth, where more than one paths resides AND where we could find and beat the crap out of Skull after we find another path that leads to him, I hope. Thus, we were forced to split ourselves into smaller groups. Yoon Ki, Jun Hyung and Yoseop in the first group, while Hyun Seung, Du Jun and I will be the other.
"Hope that we'l meet by the end of our journey," Jun Hyung whispered onto my ear, which I was reallysurprised by it until I shove him away from me.
"Just what's your problem?" I shrieked, making the group stared at me with wide eyes as if they never heard a girl like me shrieked...well, they never did. Well, I'm glad that ignored what had happened in seconds!
After that, we moved in our separate ways since we met up with two pathways. To summarise the journey up, we had encounter one illusion maze, two spider web homes, three poison chambers, four dead ends and six intersections that doesn't connect to where Jun Hyung and the others went to. Fortunately, we put on markings, using our powers incase we got lost. But, somehow, I have a bad feeling about this...
Jun Hyung POV
Hm...it's been about time that we should meet the rest but none of their markings are to be seen. Have we been trapped while walking in circles for hours?! Oh no...they got us!
"Owh...I'm so tired after walking around for so long," Yoseop said in a worn out tone while hitting his legs to ease the tiredness.
"Yoseop! Break the barrier, pronto!" I stated as calmly as possible. I mean who knows if Yuri and the others were just right in front of us?
"Kayyy..." was all he replied and focused on breaking the barrier with his singing. "No effect."
"What? There's no barrier? That's strange...might have been because of something that had triggered the markings to disappear..." I said as I tapped my chin, deep in thought. "Even if we can fly, we still won't be able to see them since it's quite dark..."
"Shall we destroy the walls of the labyrinth?" Yoon Ki suggested.
"I would have done that if Du Jun or Hyun Seung were here..." I stated but earning a smirk from him instead. "What? Do you have any ideas?"
"My power allows me to control things indirectly and I may be able to break the walls of this labyrinth if there's a high frequency noise...since the wall itself was old and brittle," Yoon Ki explained throughly, which made Yoseop stared at me in dismay.
"Hyung oh hyung, of all the strategies you can think of...didn't you think of that?" Yoseop playfully complained which made me look away. I mean, come on, I've been thinking through alot recently and my brain juices are runing low! "Alright...here goes nothing..." and takes a deep breath before releasing his highest frequency voice.
I quickly covered my ears with both of my hands but Yoon Ki was judt standing there, starring at Yoseop, with his ears 'un-armed'.
"Cover your ears, dude!" I yelled at Yoon Ki, which immediately startled him but unfortunately, Yoseop released his voice to the surroundings.
It was damn high and loud and even if I did covered my ears, I can still hear his high pitch voice ringing right through my ears! But, did Yoon Ki survived from the impact? My eyes averted to where Yoon Ki is standing and he was actually directing the source of the voice onto the walls and the ceiling.
Hyun Seung POV
The pathway is shaking as if an earthquake had landed on us. What's more, a high pitch shrieking voice just pierced through my ears. The source was just up ahead!
"Um...did someone's radio went berserk? The wall is going to break!" Yuri exclaimed panicked.
"They are just ahead of us, let's go!" Du Jun suggested and ran to thw front. We followed his footsteps and found out that the walls were broken and the ceiling had collapsed on the floor into millions and pieces of sand?!
"Du Jun-hyung! We finally found you!" Yoseop exclaimed and ran towards us.
"Thanks to your ear piercing voice, we managed to find another hidden pathway," was all Du Jun replied as he pointed at the sand.
"Why is the sand the pathway??" Jun Hyung asked, somehow annoyed with the ringing in his ears I bet.
"Hyung Seung will blast the sand with his ice power, and the sand will disperse towards the source, get it?" Du Jun explained, which Jun Hyung just shook his head. "Demo, Seung-ah."
I did as I was told and as soon as I cast my ice power, the sand just jump up and began floating and slowly accumulate, which transformed into a sword AND moved towards the east of us. We all ran towards it as it flew fast. By the time we reached to where the sword stopped, it just stuck on the wall, which was built in rather of steel.
"This sword can actually cut a person if one were to touch it," Yoon Ki concluded. "I think I will have to pull it out with my power."
"Wait...I'll handle this!" Yuri said as she held onto the sword's handle.
Suddenly, I heard a throbbing sound, heartbeats, after Yuri touched the blade's handle. It was very loud, as if it was trying to become one with my heartbeats. I could see that Jun Hyung, Yoseop and Du Jun were in the same condition as I do. Somehow, Yoon Ki wasn't affected by some throbbing sound that had inflicted on us all.
Yuri tried her best to pull the blade but her hands were bleeding. I decided to help her even though the throbbing sound in my head won't go away. As soon as I touched the blade, the wall began to corrupt a little and the throbbing sounds went away!
"Guys, help Yuri out!" I told them and they all began to approach the blade and touched it carefully, excluding Yoon Ki, who was using his powers instead.
Suddenly, the wall cracked wide open, making all of them fell on the floor, with the blade. The sand that forms the blade had solidified, which caused the handle to become safe to touch as it was wrapped in protection charms.
"Wait...isn't this blade the sandstorm blade? One of the strongest blade that allows the user to use powers of whoever had touched the sword?" I asked. "It will always direct us to the evil at will..."
"That's why I asked you to blast the sand with your power...I would have done it if my shadow power works in the dark," Du Jun replied, somehow looking disappointed of his powers.
"The sandstorm blade...Alright, I'm going to use this to defeat Skull!" Yuri exclaimed, excitedly.
"Defeat who...?" A deep manly voice asked all of a sudden.
"You, Skull..." Yuri replied to the voice, as her face darkened with hatred while pointing the sandstorm blade towards the source of the voice.
"Oh...you got me," The voice said, somehow trying to intimidate the group with his breathy voice.
The walls and the ceilings that surround them began to disappear and was being transformed into a vast crimson sky, covered with miasma that somehow corrodes almost everything it touches. There, they found the villain who was behind all of this menace and by that, the group had to eliminate him from his existence...
