Chapter-48

The sight was both mesmerizing and surreal as if time had momentarily frozen to showcase Eric's awe-inspiring abilities. With the threat neutralized, Luke and the others finally managed to gain the upper hand in their own battles. Inspired by Eric's heroic act, they fought with renewed determination, their spirits bolstered by the knowledge that they had a true ally by their side. The once seemingly insurmountable challenge now appeared more conquerable, as they pressed on with newfound hope and resolve they marveled at his exceptional abilities, recognizing him as not only a skilled fighter but also a true hero. Indira, in particular, couldn't help but feel a deep sense of indebtedness towards Eric, forever grateful for his selflessness in saving her life.

Indira's heart raced with a mix of relief and admiration for Eric's swift intervention. In that critical moment, he had saved her life, demonstrating not only his exceptional combat skills but also his unwavering loyalty to his comrades. Because he could have flown from this place if he wanted to.

Eric warned the wolves not to underestimate him, making it clear that he possessed twice the strength they did. With a swift flick of his wrist, he unleashed his thunder magic upon each wolf, swiftly and effortlessly eliminating them one by one. The lifeless bodies of the once-threatening creatures lay strewn across the ground, serving as a testament to Eric's power. As he sat down on the chilly floor, a wave of relief washed over him, for he knew that if his trusted companion Sin was present, they would surely find a way to escape this dire situation. The others in the group acknowledged this fact, as they were well aware of Sin's extraordinary abilities, such as the remarkable power of teleportation.

As they rose from their seats and proceeded to the adjacent room, their eyes widened in shock as they beheld the presence of a menacing werewolf eagerly awaiting their arrival. In that very moment, Eric's physical prowess surged exponentially, surpassing even the might of Rodriguez by a staggering fourfold.

Nevertheless, the duration left for the skill to take effect was incredibly brief, leaving him with just enough time to execute a forceful swipe at the wolf, causing the ferocious creature to recoil several meters and suffer only a minor injury. With their hearts pounding, the entire group swiftly dashed towards the adjacent room, desperately seeking safety. In a frenzied haste, Rodriguez hastily summoned his magical prowess to erect a sturdy barrier with stones, effectively sealing off their chosen path. Determined to protect his comrades, he repeated this process for every entrance, depleting his magical reserves entirely.

Rodriguez had blood trickling from his mouth, a visible sign of the injuries he had sustained. Without wasting a moment, Indira rushed to his side, eager to provide him with the healing he desperately needed. However, amidst the pain, Rodriguez managed to convey an urgent message to the others present. He informed them that if they remained in their current location and exercised patience, they still had a chance to escape. The reason behind this was Sin, a formidable entity with the uncanny ability to track them down (by using Kamui). Thus, their only hope lay in biding their time and mustering the strength to wait for the opportune moment to make their getaway.

At that moment, Sin decided to put an end to the ongoing battle and called upon the minotaur to join him which was the same monster that attacked May Bell's team. This creature has unique eyes known as the Sharingan, which was clearly a result of Sin's exceptional ocular powers. With this extraordinary control over the minotaur, Sin effortlessly unleashed its devastating strength upon the werewolves, systematically eliminating them one by one. The minotaur's incredible power, combined with its impressive level of 48, made it virtually unstoppable in its mission to vanquish its opponents.

The King Kong Gorilla's core was utilized by him to enhance the power of this monstrous creature. Sin effortlessly integrated the core into the minotaur by implementing chakra and Kamui, ensuring a seamless fusion between the two entities.

As he continued to move forward effortlessly, he came across a room that was obstructed by a solid wall made of earth. This particular enchantment was skillfully employed by Gerald, He sends the minotaur into his space and traverses through the thick, muddy barrier. As he made his way through, he was greeted by the sight of Gerald, comfortably seated within the room.

Gerald, being the quiet and reserved individual that he is, tends to keep to himself and does not engage in much conversation. As a result, Sin, who is a member of the same team known as Phantom Spear, has limited interactions with Gerald compared to the other teammates. Curious about this dynamic, Sin decided to ask Gerald if he knew that he would find him even if he was in this self-quarantine.

Gerald acknowledged with a nod, expressing that he was aware of Sin's extraordinary ability. It was precisely this understanding that led Gerald to willingly confine himself within the confines of a room, taking the calculated risk of isolating himself. Sin, reciprocating the sentiment, also nodded in agreement, remarking on the wisdom behind Gerald's decision. In a gesture of goodwill, Sin assured Gerald that he possessed the power to instantly transport him outside of the room. However, Gerald, displaying a sense of loyalty towards his teammates, inquired about the fate of the others and whether Sin had successfully rescued them. Unfortunately, Sin admitted that he had not yet been able to locate and rescue the remaining members of their team. Determined not to abandon his comrades, Gerald firmly declared that he would not venture outside until all of his fellow teammates were accounted for. Impressed by Gerald's unwavering loyalty and dedication, Sin's smile widened as he offered Gerald the opportunity to accompany him in the search and rescue mission.

Following that, the duo embarked on a quest to locate their fellow comrades, with Sin fervently hoping that each and every one of them had survived the perilous encounter. Their search led them to a heart-pounding chase, as they found themselves being pursued by a pack of relentless werewolves. In the midst of the chaos, Sin confidently reassured Gerald, urging him not to fret. Without hesitation, Sin conjured the minotaur once more, summoning it from the depths of the mysterious realm to Gerald. Gerald, taken aback by this unexpected turn of events, couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and astonishment. However, Sin quickly assuaged any lingering doubts, affirming that the minotaur had now become their trusted ally, ready to aid them in their quest.
