Kim stares at Yuriel as he watches her walk towards him.
"You were asleep for a while but now that you're awake, I can finally rest-"
Her body's falls onto Kim arms as he got up hastily and catches her. Looking at Daima he asks what had happened.
Daima told him everything, how the 'wall' was a mere twist of fate that relies on hope and luck to climb it, monster were lurking everywhere, there were even demons living amongst the monster, they tried to eat both him and Yuriel. And the 'maze' was full of traps, they were running circles, puppeteers who got their strings pulled on where to go, Yuriel fend off many monsters but in the process of getting hurt, there were too many to top it off they then met this eerie psychotic demon that sews human and demon skin's together for the sake of fun and to entertain his fetishized.
Daima continued on telling Kim what happened, how Yuriel fought him, how she land a hit on him and he land a hit on her, Yuriel was overpowering him by a little and he knew it so he uses the other monsters and demons to worn her out which it work.
Even after that, the demon still couldn't kill Yuriel so he did what he simply could do, and he left.
"And so we have to wander through the 'maze' as traps and monsters are set out to get us and, and-"
"Diama, slow down. Easily there," he hugs Daima which clam him down a little.
"I'm sorry for not being there when all that happen. Do you where we are?"
Daima nods his head, he point foward.
"Going foward is where the new town is located in, it should be near the 'red hand'."
Kim gout up and two a heavy breath before lifting Yuriel's body up to his back.
"Hmm? Why is it somewhat now easy to carry Yuriel? Just a… how many days have pass? I should've asked the voice…"
Kim brush his thoughts away as he advanced through the path ahead of him.
They walked in silence, unsure on how to bring up any conversation. Kim painfully casts his eye's back at Yuriel's body. Examine her from head to toes, he knew that she is in a critical condition.
"She haven't had a good rest in… many days. The facts that she was able to not pass out with these injuries is impressive. Can the human body's even take this much damage? I know adrenaline is a thing but geez."
As Yuriel steadily breathing hit Kim's back. Both Daima and Kim felt an immense bloodlust behind them, and they could hear a cracking chuckles echoing throughout the pathway.
An overwhelming bloodlust choked the air they were breathing. Kim glances over at Daima.
"At the count of three, we run," he said as Daima nods.
"Thre-"
Before he could finish one word, Daima was already running, he dashed foward leaving Kim in his dust, Kim of course followed him.
"Why did you start running before I have a chance to count?"
"You really think I'm going to let you finish counting for me to run? The most logical thing to do IS TO RUN also you instantly starts at three so it doesn't even matter!"
The eerie demon watches as they got out of his sight, his grin remains on his face as he slowly walked in their direction, though seeing as it's a one way path, he knew that he would catch up to them with no issues.
"Heh~ they dash the moment they sense me, I suppose I should've suppress my urge to kill them then skin them alive," he sighed as he place his long sharp claws on the wall.
"I guess this will be like a cat and mouse chase, rather instead of one mouse, I got three to chase. This will ought to be interesting."
Saying that, he gradually starts speeding up, first it was fast walking, power walking, then into a sprint and finally into a full sprint. Moving faster then the I-can-see, the claws mark on the wall lingers before it could regenerate.
"What the hell is going on? I must've asks this question in my head a lot but it's reasonable, every day or hour is where situations occurs, this is actually nonsense!!!" Kim thought as he panted a little.
He hand wrapped around Yuriel's legs tightly so that she don't fall.
"It's okay, Daima said that the town is up ahead. It'll be fine, yea but I don't know how long I could run for though I felt as if my stamina have greatly improved, and my legs they are slightly trembling but because of fear and not strength. Does time moves differently in this place? Ahh so many questions kept on popping up!!!"

"How long as it been since we've been teleported here?" Luc Mugen asks Uma Micheal who was bossing the demons around.
She shrugged as she points to a direction in where some of the demons have to go.
"I feel like we have been here forever." he continued.
"Not only that, Vas Allen haven't waken up ever since he got here, I'm starting to be worried." Uma Micheal added which make Luc Mugen frown.
"I miss Kim…" he muttered.
Looking at Uma Micheal, he asked what she is doing.
"Oh this? Ever since I threaten- I mean asked the demons for a way out, they told me about the 'red hand' and that's it is our only chance to escaped,"
Luc Mugen nods as he looks at the demons that was constructing something.
"Oh these? I'm just building something that will make Kim find us easier, of course we're not leaving without him."
"What are you building?" Luc Mugen asked which make Uma Micheal smirk, she gesture her thumb and pointing fingers upward and placed it under her chin's.
"I'm making a giant lightbulb, a source so bright, it will flare up this dark place. And hopefully, it could get Kim's attention. Though these guys aren't building it fast enough, had to do everything by myself." she said as she lie down on a bench.
Luc Mugen stares at the demons then onto Uma Micheal with a concern look.
"Luc, don't give me that look. I know having someone to do your works is bad but these are demons, they tried to kill us!!!"
"I guess." Luc Mugen said.
Uma Micheal seeing this sighed.
"Look, once we get out of this place they are free, so for now why not explore this place further? The first time you did it, there's a bit of a problem but thankfully, I've solved them."
Luc Mugen reluctantly nods as he walks away from Uma Micheal. She gives a faint little smile before putting it away and yelling at the demons to work faster.
"Why are we even listening to that little girl?" one of the demons said.
"Shush, if she hear us talking, she will yell at us."
"C'mon, don't tell me you're afraid of the little girl, look even that ugly kid is going by himself his presence alone infuriates me." the demon continued.
"Let's kill him."
"You idiots! We're not afraid of the little girl," one of the demons point at Vas Allen that is sleeping.
"Whether the girl know it or not, that man right there has set up an alarm if anyone attack them."
"So? He's been sleeping for a few weeks now." the demon said.
"You didn't hear what's I said. If we were to attack him, we will wake him up. It look like this place is taking a toll on his body which is why he have been sleeping but if we attack his kids, his body will adapts to it and he will wake up."
The demon scoffs, "So what if he wake up? How do you even know that?"
"YOU IDIOTS, we demons race have always had an survival instinct, the facts you don't know that mean that something is wrong with you."
Uma Micheal heard the yelling of two demons talking amongst each other.
"Hey! I told you, no talking when it's work time, only talks during breaks, I gave you guys five minutes to rest and do whatever you want so just keep on working till it's break time! Geez, bossing people is tough."
She said as she proceeds to chill on the bench once again.
Luc Mugen sees two path ahead of him.
"Uma tells me to explore but I'm worry about those demons…" he lightly slaps his face.
"No, they tried to hurt me.. but if I wasn't weak, they wouldn't have done that argh, dumb Luc."
He lifted his head and choose th path of the left.
"I don't think I've explored this pathway before."
Just before he was going to enter the path, he heard a faint voice, two people's that were yelling at the top of their lungs.
"Huh? Why does one sound familiar..?"
He stood there, unsure of what to do. The screams that were coming from the pathway doesn't sound delightful. Luc Mugen took a steps back.
"Should I save those people? But what if it's a trap? Uma will be mad if I get caught erm.."
Luc Mugen didn't have to think for long. Within a few second after he thoughts of that, their silhouettes begins to show. Luc Mugen glares ahead but it was still too dark for him to see, scared he runs back to Uma Micheal.
"AHHHHHHHH!!! Daima is he behind us right now?!" Kim shouted out.
"I'm not checking, looking back is a dumb idea but if you want to know, be my guest!!"
Kim and Daima sees a dim lights ahead, a town they thought. But will they reach it in time, they don't know if the eerie demon is chasing them or not but his bloodlust remains so he is most likely chasing them.
"We're almost there!!!" Kim yelled out, but having to carry a person on his back's his thighs starts to cramp up, he flinch a little before frozing.
"Argh- a cramps, why now?"
Daima seeing that Kim has stop has also stopped. Not for long, he looks back over at Kim shoulder and he sees an eerie looking figures standing behind Kim as he stares at him with a face full of glee. Daima cringe a little before getting Kim's attention.
Kim looks at Daima and judge by his reaction, Kim knew what was already up. He took two long and deep breaths before taking off once again, Daima followed behind him.
"C'mon, must you keep on running, this chase is starting to feel lackluster… but seeing as you're going to town, I suppose I should get more collection.."
The demon said as he chuckled to himself, he walked towards the town with a creepy grin.
