"Escape..." the woman with wings on her back murmured.
Then, she shook her head. With a bitter smile, she said, "It's impossible for us to escape. Even if you are stronger than them, you can't open the door of this dungeon."
Every creature imprisoned here had tried to escape, but this door had been the biggest obstacle to them.
"Are you saying that those green-skinned creatures haven't allowed you to leave this dungeon for thousands of years?"
Darren couldn't figure out why those green-skinned creatures had caught so many aborigines and kept them here. Was their purpose just to detain the aborigines?
"Do you know what their purpose is for arresting people?" Darren continued.
"I don't know." The woman shook her head.
If they could not open the door of the dungeon, Darren's power wouldn't matter. He would not be able to help them, either.
"Darren, did you find any answers?" Elsa asked.
Darren shook his head and said, "They have been imprisoned for many years. But, they don't know why the green-skinned men have done this."
"Don't worry. We might find a way to escape once we've recovered our strength." Elsa tried giving Darren some hope.
"It seems as though no one has been able to force the door open from the inside. We have to find a way to compel the green-skinned men to open the door," Darren stated. A second later, an idea flashed through his mind.
"Force them to open it? But how?" Elsa asked. Confusion reflected in her expression as she glanced at Darren.
"I'm not sure yet. Let me think for a bit."
Then Darren dusted the spot next to Elsa and sat down.
Time went by. Three years passed in the blink of an eye. The cave still looked the same.
During these three years, Darren practiced the blade and sword skills engraved in his mind. Not only had his strength recovered, but it had enhanced a little bit.
"We can't wait any longer," Darren abruptly said as he opened his eyes.
Elsa woke as well.
"Elsa, have you recovered now?"
"I have, yes." Elsa nodded.
"Let's attack the door together. If we make a loud enough noise, maybe they will come to check. That will be our chance."
"Okay." Elsa nodded.
"All of you hide behind that purple crystal," Darren instructed as he pointed at a purple crystal.
The creatures obediently lowered their heads and walked behind the purple crystal.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Darren and Elsa gathered their strength and bombarded the door. The impact of their attacks shook the whole space.
Boom.
The more Darren and Elsa attacked, the louder the noise became.
At the prow of the purple-crystal ship, a huge green-skinned man suddenly opened his eyes.
"Did we encounter strong turbulence? Why is the ship shaking?"
"Your Majesty, we have not encountered any turbulence. I'll go down and check."
They communicated in their unique language.
A moment later, the green-skinned man returned. He seemed to be trembling with fear.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong with the eighteenth dungeon. It has a huge wave of power inside!"
"What?" A vicious light flashed in the huge green-skinned man's eyes as he glared at the subordinate.
"I'll go and check it," the huge green-skinned man muttered as he stepped down.
"Your Majesty, please don't go there. The energy waves are very strong. I'm afraid that the slaves inside might escape..."
Bang!
Fury coursed inside the huge green-skinned man. Without warning, he punched his subordinate, breaking his head. Then, the huge green-skinned man marched toward the eighteenth dungeon.
"Someone is coming." Darren's Spirit Power was strong enough to probe a distance of several thousand feet. He sensed that a huge green-skinned creature was approaching them.
The opportunity had finally arrived. Once as the green-skinned creature dared to open the prison door, Darren was prepared to kill him.
"Open the door," the huge green-skinned man ordered.
"Your Majesty, this... You don't know that just now..."
Bang!
The huge green-skinned man beheaded the guard at once.
Darren was overjoyed when he detected what was happening.
"Open it. I want to see how powerful useless trash can be."
