Chapter 10

"An invisible creature you say?" Kris said wide-eyed in surprise.

Reynold stroked his chin and looked up at the pillar of the left corridor. Her lips were tightly shut. Didn't say anything. Waiting for Professor Watts to continue to speak.

"Could it be… Astraldi?" Reynolds guessed.

"Astradi? This is the first time I've heard of it," said Professor Watts.

"My father once told me about his existence. The creatures were dead spirits, resurrected by someone for revenge. It's just that this case is rare for 150 years."

"Until two people were killed, huh? I guess I'll have to ask Professor Tristan."

"You are sure? Isn't he a teacher of history and mysticology, right?"

"That's right. But he was once involved in an incident. To be more precise, the bloody event called the Edgeville Incident at Edgeville Prison."

Even though Professor Watts said this, Reynold believed there was a connection between Edgeville Prison and Aeckland Stronghold. Because the two places are interconnected with each other. Primarily a lair for monsters 15 years ago. Just when Reynolds Father and Mother had an adventure. And he wasn't even born yet.

Reynold was still thinking about the words that came out of his mouth. The young man's conscience told him that it was not who he really was. His tongue twitched, focusing on what he got. The grip of the left palm is tightly clenched. His eyes couldn't focus. Split into eight parts.

Unlucky! Again the curse reappeared! Reynold cursed in his heart. I have to find a way to get back to normal. Otherwise, they will suspect me of being the mastermind behind the killing of the monsters, Reynold muttered to himself. He followed Professor Watts who was analyzing something about Astraldi. His wand swung slowly. Emitting two balls in the form of articles about these astral beings. Out of curiosity, Reynold looked at his back. He smiled wryly as he gripped his own palm.

"Reynold, please."

He turned around. Leave the crime scene. Reynold turned left into Professor Tristan's room. Realized that he would be suspected if he was there too long. The steps of the shoes worn. Hiding behind the shadow. His right hand reaches into the pocket of his pants and clothes. Reynold found the pill he was looking for. Red with deep outlines. He swallowed it down his throat. Reynold looked up at the roof of the sky. Blink his eyes. the bottle is taken. Drink the bottle until it leaves half. Heaved a sigh of relief.

Reynold peeked through the gap in the corridor. Looking from a distance the figure of Professor Watts. Squinting his eyes. A growl came from the jaws of his teeth. Dripping his saliva. Then the flood spilled on the floor. Growling while clawing at the wall. Suddenly, both of his eyes lit up. Feeling dizzy. Reynolds looked down. His head was gripped very hard. He staggered. It felt as if Reynolds had been hit in the head with a large hammer. His jaw was wide open, drooling again. He kept walking. Holding the wall. His fists clenched and hit the wall hard. A few minutes later, Reynold was able to walk normally.

Isaac appeared running from the opposite direction. Approached Reynold whose body was close to the wall. His eyes closed for a moment. He took a deep breath and put on a limp smile. Issac from walking quickly stopped the movement of his two legs.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Just tired of following and being told by Professor Watts. Especially having to meet Professor Carr," said Reynold.

"Okay. I will take you there. But before that. Listen to my story of meeting Professor Read. Chances are you'll like it."

~o0o~

"And you know that based on—"

"My parents," Isaac cut in lie trying to hide the truth about Unknown Origin.

The silver-haired youth showed him a piece of paper that he remembered some time ago. Just as he was at Aeckland Stronghold. From the detailed description, Professor Read made a long mutter. His upper teeth bit his lip. Tilting lips to the left.

"I will answer your question. But you have to remember. You can't tell this to anyone."

Isaac's response was a nod. The silver-haired youth was also in no mood to tell anyone except Reynold. Because he's the only one who knows Unkown Origin itself.

Until he explained everything, Reynold nodded slowly. His two fingers touched his chin. Broadly speaking, Reynold understood the situation at hand. He thought hard about the relationship between Edgeville Prison and Aeckland Stronghold. Until he remembered something.

"Could it be that a secret door is connected," Reynold muttered.

"Secret door you say?"

"Yes. My father once told me about the existence of invisible beings. The creature was named Astradi. You could say, they are dead spirits, resurrected by a Sage named Bronat Grakina to take revenge on The All Region dimension for dumping him. This case has been rare for 150 years."

"Until someone accidentally opened the portal."

A grim nod from Reynolds. Isaac swallowed his saliva. The man named Bronat Grakina was dead. But his legacy has troubled many people. Including the lives of innocent people.

"But there's no need to worry. Because that Sage was defeated by four heroes!" said Reynolds grinning.

"Four heroes you say? Suspicious," said Isaac.

"You think so?" Reynolds pouted.

The two young men walked all the way to Professor Tristan's room. While at the door, Issac glanced at the three bullies following him from behind. Reynold didn't notice it. The short-haired youth didn't mind being followed. The problem is that a bully named Andrew accidentally touches a door into the Unknown Origin portal. They screamed for help. But it was too late. They were sucked in quickly. Isaac opened his mouth. I couldn't believe that Unknown Origin had been entered by an unknown person. Reynold and Isaac nodded their heads at each other. Reynold let go of the embrace just now. He took the medicine in a maximum dose of two pills. It was more than enough. Exhalation mouth enlarged. They also pulled the wrist to relax the leg muscles. Running fast chasing a path to Unknown Origin.

"Even though he bullied you, you didn't retaliate?" asked Reynolds.

"What for? It's just a waste of time with them."

"That is true. But we mustn't let that place know no matter what!"

Issac nodded in agreement with Reynolds' words. Moreover, he can strengthen himself by fighting the various monsters there. And plans to reveal the true mystery behind Aeckland Stronghold.

The two youths turned, touching the doorknob to Unknown Origin. They were immediately sucked into it. Behind the corridor, there was Triecia who was gaping in disbelief. Sweat trickled down his face. The right palm covers the mouth. Take a deep breath. His eyes couldn't believe what he had just witnessed. The blonde-haired girl turned around. Plan to tell the incident to the nearest teacher. However, it seemed they were in a hurry to the principal's office. Climb the stairs. Entering a circular door by rolling to the right. Tiecia couldn't rely on adults to help her. His heart skipped a beat all of a sudden. His arms and legs were shaking. His face was pale. The blink of the eyeballs is so obvious. Until he shuffled incoherently.

"I can't be afraid. I can't be afraid. I can't be afraid. I can't be afraid!" Tiecia said as she took her two feet.

Tiecia tried to walk to the door. Trying to fight all the fears that are in him.

Until the blonde-haired girl heard a scream from there. The voice echoed into Tiecia's ears. He covered his ear holes, recited a prayer while hoping the creator God Ila would protect him from harm. Tiecia ran away from the door. Without looking to the side or around.
