373 Endless hotel-part three-

"These cages…" Though Alfonso.

"What is inside these cages?" Asked Cerberus.

"Don't go near it" Said Alfonso.

Cerberus, who was about to touch the cages, pull off his hand.

"C-c-curiosity killed the cat" Said Drakini.

"Who are you calling a cat!?" Said Cerberus.

"Lower your voice, you two, we don't want to wake up whatever is in those cages" Said Alfonso.

*Rawwr*

The trio stopped.

"What was that?" Asked Alfonso.

"Care!" Shouted Cerberus.

Alfonso and Drakini quickly jumped to one side.

In that moment, a red thing passed just through their eyes.

"What is that!?" Asked Alfonso.

*RAWRR*

*RAWRR*

More noises came from all sides and the cages began to shake.

"Damn!" Shouted Alfonso.

The red things began to appear from all sides while the trio began to evade.

"Don't underestimate me!"

Cerberus grabbed one of the red things and crushed it with his hand!

"Ugh!"

"Cerberus!"

Although the red thing was destroyed Cerberus felt a pain on his hand, when Alfonso looked up, he saw a bit of smoke coming from Cerberus's hand!

"Don't touch those things! They have acid!" Said Cerberus.

"Acid!?" Though Alfonso.

The red things began to attack faster and faster while Alfonso, Drakini and Cerberus did their best to advance while evading them

"S-S-Sir, let me!" Said Drakini.

"Drakini?"

Drakini stopped in place and her green eyes glommed.

"[Time Stop]!"

Suddenly, the red things stopped in mid-air

"What!?" Alfonso was stunned.

This was his ability!

"R-R-Run! They will move in ten seconds!" Shouted Drakini.

The trio run and run, however, there seemed to be no end to this hall!

"Is there really no end to this hall?"Asked Alfonso.

"I don't know, but the ten seconds are about to end!" Said Cerberus.

"Drakini, how long until you can use that again?" Asked Alfonso.

"T-T-Ten minutes sir!" Said Drakini.

"Ten minutes!?" Though Alfonso.

*Bzzzt*!

Alfonso felt turbulence behind him, he turned and saw that the red things began to move once more!

"From The sides as well!" Said Cerberus.

More and more red things began to appear from the left and right sides of Alfonso and company.

"I don't believe that this hall is endless!" Said Alfonso.

"Run!"

"I-I-I still have other tricks!" Said Drakini.

She turned and her eyes glommed once more.

"[Time Bomb]!"

"Again!?" Though Alfonso.

On Drakini's hand a small rectangle-green thing appeared, she threw it to the red things.

*Beep*

*Beep*

"Faster!" Though Alfonso.

The time exploded and the red things fell to the floor unmoved.

"T-T-This will buy us some time" Said Drakini.

*VROOM*

Similar to an earthquake, the ground shook.

"What is going on!?" Shouted Alfonso.

Suddenly, the hall seemed to spin in 90 degrees!

"Oh no…" Said Cerberus.

*POOM*!

With a loud sound, one by one…

The cells began to open!

"Grab the bars!" Shouted Alfonso

Cerberus and Drakini grabbed the bars that were above them while tried his best to not fall in the open cell.

"I see, so that what was those red things…" Said Alfonso.

Cerberus and Drakini looked down and, like Alfonso, they also saw what that red thing was.

"A tongue…" Said Cerberus.

"A-A-A giant mouth!" Said Drakini.

The large things that were attacking them were tongues that came from giants mouths with rotten teeth!

"What kind of monster is this!?" Though Alfonso.

The mouth jumped up and down while its rotten teeth made crackling sounds.

"Here it comes!" Said Cerberus.

From the mouth, a huge and sharp tongue shot to Alfonso!

"[Oversoul]!"

Alfonso's hair became white.

He grabbed the tongue and a bit of smoke appeared on Alfonso's hand.

"Alfonso!"

"S-S-Sir!"

"FINISH HIM!" Said Alfonso.

Drakini and Cerberus took the chance and jumped towards the mouth!

"@#$%$"

The mouth made an awful sound and fall back to the cell.

Just as he did that, a small red gas came from the body of the mouth and floated above it.

"What is that?" Asked Alfonso.

Suddenly, Drakini let go of the bar!

"Drakini!"

"I-I-It's okay sir!"

She entered the cell and sucked the red smoke.

*VROOMM*

The ground once again shook and returned to normal.

"Ha…ha…ha" Alfonso grasped for air.

"Fortunately, I protected my hand with will force… or else… " Said Alfonso.

A sound came from behind Alfonso, he turned around and saw a big door a few centimeter away from them.

Above the door, a number appeared

99

"What does that number mean?" Asked Cerberus.

*VRAMM*

*VRAMM*

More and more jails began to open.

"Damn" Said Alfonso

More and more mouths began to get out of the jails while their cracking teeth made growling sounds.

"I will protect you two from the tongues, you kill them as fast as you can" Said Alfonso.

"I understand"

"S-S-Sir!"

Both Drakini and Cerberus stood behind Alfonso.

*Pa*!

The tongues shot once more while the trio dodged to the sides.

"Use the walls!" Said Cerberus.

Drakini and Cerberus jumped in the walls while Alfonso provided support from behind.

The tongues were held by Alfonso, however, he couldn't hold them all.

"Care, Drakini!" Said Alfonso.

A tongue shot directly towards Drakini!

However, she didn't dodge, on the contrary, she smiled and went directly towards the tongue!

"D-D-Don't worry sir!" Said Drakini.

"[Time Shadow]"

The tongue pierced Drakini's body, however, there wasn't the sound of blood or blood being crushed, it just passed her body without making any sound!

"???" The mouth monster was confused.

"Ha!"

Drakini appeared in front of the tongue and her eyes gloomed!

"[Time Bomb]" The mouth ceased to move.

"Take this!" Cerberus nails grow and his childish teeth become bigger and a pair of fangs grow!

His nails pierced the tongue all the way up to the mouth, which fell down in a second, and once again, a small red smoke appeared above its body.

*beep*

Alfonso felt a *beep* from behind him, he looked back and saw that the number above the door has changed.

98

"No way…" Though Alfonso.

*VROOMMMMM*

The ground resounded while more and more jails began to open.
