Part 2

Luke and Justin, who are sitting looking at the screens, immediately get up as they don't notice that there are more demons on Luan's Map than there should be.

"What's going on? There are more demons than there should be!"

Luke slaps the table and orders the Test to stop.

"Stop the Test, it's been sabotaged!"

Mr. Scoot, who is in the next room, looks at Luke and laughs. Luke looks at Mr. Scoot and wonders who did it. Luckily, Mr. Scoot is behind a glass window that separates the rooms, which prevents Luke from going to him.

"Damn it, Luke, Scoot did it, it's not enough that he did it when we did the Test!"

Grandpa Han, not surprised he knew Mr. Scoot might try something, remains calm, and asks Justin and Luke to sit down and watch the Test:

"You two sit down and watch, that was predictable coming from Mr. Scoot!"

Luke looks incredulously at Grandpa Han and says:

"Sit down? You're kidding, right?

Justin grimaces when he sees Luan being thrown into the demon cage."

"Luke, we need to go in there now!"

Luke is desperate, he heads for the door of the room they're in and goes straight to the President of the DSO, grabs him by the collar of his shirt and says:

"Give me the key to the Control Room now, otherwise you're going to be thrown into this chamber".

Justin tries to hold Luke so that he lets go of the President

"Luke, let him go... let him go, we're going in there, calm down!"

The President squirms and says to Luke:

"Cof cof, Mr. Becker stay calm, it was probably a mistake at the gate! I'll sort it out now!"

He calls the Command Room on his headset:

"Command Room, can you hear me?"

In complete silence, he insists, but no one answers, he sees no other way and hands Luke the key to the Command Room.

"The key, something's wrong, I'm coming with you!"

As they walk to the command room, Mark's group is finishing Gate 1 to open Gate 2.

It's dark and quiet, Luan seems to be unconscious, he's lying on the floor, he feels a discomfort in his head, but he manages to move, he looks up and notices that he's fallen into the demon cage:

"Shit, I've become the hunted now..."

He looks in front of him and it's very dark and completely silent, he finds it strange that there's no noise from the demons, so he looks at his access time clock and notices that another timer is activated and realizes that he's paused the time.

"Damn, I've lost 20 minutes with the timer paused, I can't go over 1 hour, and I haven't even finished Gate 1!

Luan's time clock lights up in a different way, and beeps 20 minutes and time starts ticking again, he starts to hear the demons screaming again outside the cage, he notices in front of him in the darkness some eyes opening that are visible in the darkness and notices that something is coming at him, it's a Level 2 Demon bigger than the others, it seems to want to rip Luan's head off or any other part of his body it can, Luan gets up quickly and turns his dagger on the demon in an attack position:

"Okay, come and get me then!"

Luan manages to mark him with his dagger, he notices that other demons are trying to get into the cage to come after him, he sees no other way than having to pause time again, otherwise he won't be able to get out of the cage this way, he swipes his finger on his watch and his watch lights up and marks another 20 minutes of paused time. He starts climbing over the demons that are standing still to try to get out of the cage, and he takes the opportunity to mark them with his dagger and climb, he finally manages to get out of the cage, he looks at the screen and the time is indeed paused, it's completely silent, so he has to be quick and mark the rest of the demons, as the weapon is enchanted you can see who he has managed to mark:

"Ok I've scored, 15 ...so there's 10 more......"

He runs quickly before his time runs out, finally marks them and his 20 minutes are up, he takes the Conjuration Amulet from his Neck, to prepare the Conjuration but notices that it is cracked:

"Just what I need, it's time to cast a Conjuration spell, I hope I can conjure all these demons at once." He quickly counts 20 in total, and swiftly deduces that he has to use his Mage power to prepare the Ritual, he goes to the fixed Magic Circle of the Map that has four elements drawn on it, and around the circle there is a source of water, a torch of fire so he quickly prepares his Conjuration incantation, he places his Ritual dagger on the west side of the Magic Circle activating the element of Air, causing the wind to begin to swirl around the Magic Circle joining with the earth and dust of the map, it begins to activate, and Luan stands in the middle of the Circle, he makes a sign with his hands and begins to use his power, the timer on the clock beeps, the 20 minutes are up, time starts ticking again, and the demons finally begin to be conjured and gradually their bodies begin to disappear, But Luan has never done this before so he needs to use more power, only 1 type of Magician can conjure them alone, otherwise he needs to be joined by 3 helpers taking part in a Ritual, suddenly Luan's nose starts to bleed, and his head hurts, he feels the usual buzzing. , he then hears a voice in his head saying:

"Do you need help, child?

Luan looks confused for a moment, then remembers that it's the same voice he hears in his dreams:

"Oh, it's that voice again, am I dreaming?"

The voice then answers him:

"No, you're not, although you can accept my help, just ask me and I will assist you."

"Help? And how would you help me?

"By helping you to conjure more quickly, by using less magic. Come on, we've got a test to finish."

Luan looks at his time clock and sees that he's already used up 40 minutes of the paused time, he can only use 20 more minutes and he can't exceed 1 hour because there could be consequences,,, and he's still at Gate 1, so he ends up accepting the help.

"Okay, just don't cause too much damage."

"Damage? No, not at all...ok, so time to go to sleep for a while, I'll be taking over now..."

Luan closes his eyes and seems to fall asleep, seconds later he opens them again, his demonic eyes are now different, they have 2 irises, and the one who takes over now is a demon who possessed and was asleep in Luan, the famous Bone Breaker Demon. The demons being conjured begin to have their bones broken, and to be conjured more quickly, until they are conjured completely.

Crack Crack Crack - Crack Crack

" At last, finally free, oh I have longed to hear this sound...."
