The Borders
Section 102 – Traps In Ruins
"At least you should feel guilty, because you killed the leader of this city, this city is destroyed." Kashel looked around holding his wrist which was still burning. The ruins of the city have their own light even though they are buried deep in the ground, whether it is because of fire magic or there is an object that reflects its light from the outside, cannot be ascertained clearly.
"Am I wrong to kill a leader who likes to start a war. In the past, 200 years ago many magic cities like this had always wanted to oppress the existence of ordinary humans, and destabilize the world." Lyam explained, I killed them so as not to upset the balance. Hearing that Kashel was silent again.
"Have you ever killed an innocent man?" kashel asked curiously.
"Either." Kashel did not know what to do to respond to Liam.
"How many people did you kill?" Kashel was still curious.
"I don't know for sure, very much." Answer Liam.
"No wonder psychopaths with no feelings at all live 800 years never kill, it's impossible." Kashel kicked the gravel stone in front of him.
NAH!
NAH!
NAH!
The stone that Kashel kicked into a hole by accident, the tremors began to be felt again.
The gate of the old castle that was covered in huge stones opened.
"It's a very fitting coincidence Kashel." Said Freda and the others shuffling the thumb Kashel. They walk ahead, not wanting to get close to Liam who has a creepy aura.
Kashel and Lyam followed them.
"I'm afraid to see you like that Kashel." Lyam said to Kashel who kept holding his burned hand so as not to get hit by the clothes he was wearing.
"Replace your clothes into magic suits so you can move around freely." Lyam gave Kashel the idea.
"Good idea," Kashel immediately agreed.
As soon as Kashel's clothes were changed to Liam's magic clothes, he was seen wearing a long black robe that suited him.
"Thank you, I feel like I can move around freely right now." Kashel behaved as he always did.
Later Lyam also changed the clothes of other Kashel friends as well.
"Thank you Lyam, this is very practical. Your abilities are truly unique." Argai looks to notice the clothes he is wearing.
Lyam was seen watching the person named Argai, he felt reminded of something.
"What's Liam why are you looking at Argai like that?" ask Kashel. Making Liam stop his gaze.
"It's okay." Liam looks a thin smile.
"Remember this Kashel, a person who looks good is not necessarily good." Lyam spoke through Kashel's mind so that no one would hear him. Kashel looks silent while looking at Liam who is looking around.
Kashel was completely unthinkable with the words of Lyam just now, for 800 years Lyam had met various kinds of people. It should have been held in case. Kashel should not be able to trust the person he just met.

They were seen entering a large building at the center of the ruins. There were many historical symbols of magic on every wall within that palace.
"Don't touch Kashel recklessly, this place used to be filled with the traps of the people who made it." Liam warns Kashel who wants to touch an object that looks attractive in his eyes. Kashel with a pale face stopped his actions.
Kashel moved away from an oil lamp that looked attractive.
PRAK!
The sound of the oil lamp was shattered and broken. The pattern on the wall changed quickly and there were holes appearing there, then there were many arrows shot and stuck into the wall next to it.
Kashel did not imagine what would happen if hit by the arrows directly. Kashel's friends immediately gulped his saliva in fear.
They continued walking down the old building and they found a door behind the throne seat.
"Why did this place used to be a kingdom too?" kashel asked in a whisper and Lyam shook his head.
"It's just the way to the bloody altar," Lyam looked for a button that could open the place around her throne.
"Bloody altar?!" Kashel squeaked in surprise.
"What's bleeding?" Argai who heard Kashel's words immediately replied.
"It's nothing, I'm just surprised." Kashel seemed awkward to explain.
Liam took out his fire element and pressed a button on the seat. A gigantic magic symbol appeared on the floor they were on.
"From here, we won't be able to use the portal to get out, this is a powerful sealing spell. We must complete this mission to get out alive and destroy the seal that sealed it." Lyam explained casually.
Kashel's friends listened to Liam's words just now.
"So this is going to be an adventure of life and death?" Kyler asked. Liam nodded. All were silent, they did not know what danger awaited them in the future.
Again there was a strong enough vibration. The gate behind the throne was open. And seeing an altar that was red, red was not red because of a paint but because of the blood that dried. On each wall of the room was a human skull arranged on a stone shelf.
Freda, Chain, and Kashel wanted to vomit to see the arrangement of the skulls of the head along with the bones of the body that had been destroyed. For them it was very, very terrible, plus there was an unpleasant smell because it had been hundreds of years that the room was never opened.
CTAK!
Suddenly there was a button-like sound on the press as the five people entered the bloody altar room. The stone door closed back.
"They were great at setting traps with these piles of stones." Kashel said in amazement.
"There's a source of Kashel's magic, because for a long time, the source of that magic had a mind of its own." Lyam explained that Kashel was remembered with a sword of light, a sword that had its own guard when it had no master.
"It's really troublesome." Kashel looked at his right hand, whose fire was not even visible.
The pattern on the wall of the room changed again, this time swallowing all the neatly arranged skulls on the wall.
CRUST!
On the wall it began to decay and from behind the wall that collapsed into dust appeared the skulls that had returned intact and were engulfed by blazing flames.
THE SNACK!
THE SNACK!
THE SNACK!
The sound of skull steps running in unison towards the five of them. Everyone was prepared to repel the attack. The protective spirits slowed down the movements of the skulls walking towards their masters.
Then the five men attacked in unison, Quirin trying to cool the room that was heating up because of the fire magic that filled the room.
"Thank you Quirin." Kashel muttered with pleasure because of Quirin, he was currently also able to freely use his fire element.
Quirin remained focused on cooling down the heated room. While the other protective spirits were busy dispelling the fire skulls so as not to approach them simultaneously.
"Fire element users are indeed the most troublesome." Freda continued to destroy the fire skulls one by one.
The circle-shaped room, approximately only 10 meters in diameter while those they fought there were hundreds of fire skulls that continued to arrive from the direction of the wall.
