The Borders
Section 104 – Tuby-tubi Trap


"You better not drink that much energy drink like Kashel, not good for your health." Liam lectured him, Liam knew such a drink was also not good if it was drunk for a long period of time.


"Just relax, I don't drink this all the time, we can't rest much here. Not to mention that my body is not capable of magic potions. It's more effective instead." Kashel immediately finished the drink with a few upright times.


"I just met a magic-enabled person who doesn't work with magic potions." Argai said a little interested in Kashel's words.


"I don't know why, either, maybe I'm just a regular person." Kashel said that since he could magic, the magic potion should work on him as well but it didn't. Even the magic energy of Luan's healing could only get rid of the dark energy that was hitting Kashel not with his injuries.


"Kashelkan is different." Kyler chimed in on their conversation. Freda looks to relax and recover his energy. They rested for about two hours at that place. Before continuing their search.


Argai was seen looking for a way in the circle room but nil, he had surrounded the place but there was no sign of a place to get out of there. Not even a magic symbol to open its gates existed.


Kyler who was still lying down accidentally noticed the ceiling of the room. He saw a giant symbol up there. Fire symbol.


"Hey isn't that, the symbol we're looking for?" Kyler pointed towards the top with his leisure.


"Ah you're right, that's it!" Argai immediately agreed when he saw it.


"Why don't you think up there." Freda.


"What do we have to do to get up there?" ask Kashel.


"Shadow, turn into a bird." Freda's orders have been restored. Kashel forgets that there is Freda who has the ability to transform his protective spirit into various forms.


Kashel climbed Shadow and was escorted to the ceiling of the room. The fire in Kashel's hand touched the symbol and the room trembled once more.


The circle then raises four cracks and from those cracks gives off hot water.


"God, it's a trap again."


Everyone immediately thought of a way to survive the increasingly hot puddles. Freda made a shadow ladder for them to climb to the top. They still survived with the rocks of Freda's shadow power turning into their footholds. The hot, boiling water was getting higher and would drown the five of them.


However, only Liam seemed calm and checked his surroundings. From his hand Liam made a sword of fire and destroyed the fire symbol that made the boiling hot water come out.


Apparently from that place there is a hallway fit one person to walk in it. Quickly as the boiling water wanted to touch their feet, the five of them went straight into the passage one by one and the hot water stopped overflowing as the room just now had been filled to the brim with boiling water.


"I don't like tight places." Kashel walked in the very back.


KRATAKS!


The sound of cracks made Kashel stop crawling.


Kyler who was in front of him saw the place he was on now cracked and fragile.


BRUISES!


The floor collapses and Kyler falls into it, Kashel reflexively grabs Kyler's back collar with his fiery right hand.


"Well, Kashel is hot!" kyler yelled.


"Be quiet, Kyler, look under you. I'm not strong if I don't use my right hand to pull you." Kashel spoke while exerting all his strength to withstand the weight of Kyler's body.


Kyler looked down while gulping his saliva in fear, if it fell he would die because under his feet there were sharp long irons that seemed to be hot iron, hot iron, and hanging there he too shall die of the fire that burns his neck. Kashel's other friends were immediately panicked to see Kyler hanging in Kashel's hand, fortunately the clothes they wore were magic clothes that would not be torn if exposed to elemental attacks even though the body was injured due to the attack of magic elements.


Freda quickly helped and made a foothold for Kyler so that Kashel could let him go.


"I survived!" Kyler was happy while breathing a sigh of relief.


"Thank you Kashel." Kyler said as he climbed back on their tracks.


"You'd better treat those burns later." Kashel said he felt guilty and worried about looking at the back of Kyler's neck with burns.


"It's okay, I'll treat it after coming out of this narrow passage." Obviously Kyler, however, Kashel is also the one who saved his life.


Freda repaired the collapsed road so that Kashel could pass through it safely as well. After quite a long time crawling in the narrow passageway finally their exit was visible.


"Finally!" Kashel said happily, finally being able to get out of a narrow place that he did not like.


Everyone just shut up. The closer to the exit there was a heat coming towards all of them.


What else this time. Inner Kashel felt an unpleasant premonition.

Lyam first came out of the hallway.


"Be careful." He warned from outside in a loud voice.


Outside the passageway was a magma pond like the crater of a merapi mountain.


It's macabre. Freda is sharp when looking down. There is only a staircase that is long enough to circle up to the top. It was a long staircase that was quite tiring because they were near the base and quite far away if it reached the end.


"Am I going to die here, I'm just planning on getting married!" Kashel said out loud. When looking at the hot lava that is underneath.


"You're planning on getting married?" tanya Freda looked surprised. Lyam looked towards him as well.


They realized that there was a ring of gold on Kashel's ring finger.


"Kashel wants to get married?" kyler asked in disbelief, everyone no one knew Kashel had a plan. His friends thought Kashel was just a fad using a gold ring some of this time, because it just so happened that Grizelle never came to the office again some of that time, so they could not confirm that the ring that Kashel was wearing was a couple ring.


"Whether the time is now to discuss that, our lives are in danger if they linger here. I can't die now." Kashel explained that he did not see his friends who looked curious, even Liam seemed interested because of Kashel's actions.


"You owe me an explanation after this Kashel." Kyler said, and they all went on a quick journey down the stairs. Argai who does not understand anything looks just silent.


Rumbling sounded again, the volume of the lava began to rise higher.


"It's terrible, when we've just tried to take a breather because of these very many stairs. Another trap appears." Argai said looking a little panicked.
