Chapter 181: Entity With Queen Echidna's Divinity.
Michael stopped at the exact location where they fought the skeletons, He slowly moved his gaze around.
"Hmm!! Someone help me!" The same elder who convinced the Head to enter the gate yelled, He was sitting on the ground, both legs and hands tied.
'How did I end up here? I only wanted to release myself, and...' He thought, looking around the dark tunnel with a sense of dread.
Hearing footsteps approaching made him both hopeful and afraid, what if the one walking towards him was a monster? Even being a gold medal holder, he couldn't break free from the red chains binding him.
"Second Elder? How did you get here?" Michael asked, cautiously observing the man.
"Is that you, Supreme? Please help me." The elder said, the place was just too dark to see anyone.
'How did he end up here? Is he a fake or the one with the group?' Michael thought, and asked:
"What if you aren't the elder? You might even be a Monster in disguise." Michael said, summoning Slayer.
"You and your members arrived by Helicopter around 3Am, and Sunny's Nickname which your gave him is "Dull", because he wasn't that smart when you guys were in school… If I'm a Monster will I know all this?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen any monster that can take human appearance, so I don't know what to expect."
"Instead of standing there speaking Rubbish! Release Me, so we can both stop that Bastard who knocked me out."
"Wait." Michael stopped him. "If you are the real one, then who has been following us for the past 30 minutes?" Michael's eyes widened in horror.
"Release me, Supreme."
Michael thought for a moment and walked towards him, he squat down in front of the elder and struck his neck. The man fainted instantly.
"This proves you are a human, then..." He slowly stood up. "Who the hell is that fake?" He picked up the Elder and ran towards the group.

"They walked inside five minutes ago, and Michael have been gone for 15 minutes Now... Are we going to sleep here?" Tyson asked the five sitting on the ground.
"If you want, You can go in." Jennifer said in a calm tone, slowly cleaning the blade of her scythe.
"Something isn't right." Erika stood up with a deep frown.
"Yes." Jennifer also stood up. "Why is the smell of blood so strong?" She asked.
"Yes." Tyson Sniff the air. "It's coming from the gate." He added.
"Dad?!" Sunny's face turned paled, he quickly rushed to the gate.
"What are you doing?!" Rahond yelled.
"My Dad is inside, I need to find out what happened. You guys can stay out here if you want, but I'm going." He placed his hand on the gate which slowly opened. He took a deep breath and walked in.
Jennifer and the other three looked at each other in confusion. "What should we do?" Rahond asked.
"He'll need help, three of you should stay here... I'm going with him." Jennifer said, without waiting for their reply, she started walking.
"I'm coming!" Tyson said, placing his broadsword on his shoulder.
"If you are prepared for your grim future, I won't stop you." Jennifer said, not stopping.
"What about you guys?" Tyson asked Erika and Rahond.
"I gave Michael my word, I'll stay here." Erika said, and Rahond nodded in agreement.
"Ok, keep watch." Tyson walked behind Jennifer after saying that.
Erika and Rahond watched as the two walked through the gate, and it slowly closed back.

[5 Minutes Later.]
"Where are the rest?!" Michael asked placing the unconscious elder on the ground.
Erika and Rahond stood up.
"I know the Boss will never leave us." Rahond said with a relief sigh.
"What? Never mind!" Michael looked around, and yelled. "Where are the others?!!"
"They went through the gate." Rahond quickly answered, then looked down at the elder.
"Is he dead?"
"No."
Seeing Michael's worried expression, the two frowned slightly.
"What is it?" Erika asked.
"This is one of the Agra family's elders, I have a feeling that the one who took his appearance is the Skeletons' king, He's leading them all to their deaths! Come on!!" He rushed towards the huge gate, Erika and Rahond looked at each other in confusion and quickly followed behind him.

"What in the gods' name?!"
The three froze, while Rahond Vomited his breakfast, seeing the scene in front of them.
The temple they were in was huge, countless touches were place on the walls illuminating the place.
100 meters from the group was a throne, which was placed 5 meters above the ground. And in front of this throne stood a huge number of Skeletons, all armed with weapons...
...This wasn't the reason for the three dreadful expression... In front of the Skeletons were body parts, from head, limbs even organs were everywhere; Blood flowing like a stream towards them.
Michael narrowed his eyes, staring at the Man sitting on the throne, who was holding a still beating heart of some unlucky fellow.
**It took you long enough.** The Man fixed his red eyes on Michael, seeing their faces, he smirked.
**Don't worry, I haven't killed your friends.** he pointed his finger at his right.
The three followed his Finger, seeing Jennifer, Tyson, Sunny, and the family Head; all lying on the ground, clearly unconscious.
'This guy is strong enough to even take Jennifer down!' Michael thought, totally stunned. 'And with the energy around her, it looks like she also fought with her fusion Mode... And was still defeated.' His thoughts were interrupted by the System's voice.
{Warning!!}
{Warning!!}
{An Entity with Queen Echidna's divinity discovered!}
{Rank: Immortal!!}
{Host needs to be on guard!}
"You could have attacked us when we were outside, but you didn't. Why?" Michael asked.
**You don't get to ask Questions, Mortal. I do; Now tell me, How the hell did you kill the fifth Commander? I understand more than 70% of her powers were taken, But still; there is no way a mortal can kill anything in the immortal realm.**
'Immortal realm?' Michael thought for a moment--
**Be careful, Mortal. What ever you say or do will risk the life of your friends.** The man warned, he brought the heart to his mouth and took a big bite.
