They cleared the sixth floor and moved toward the seventh floor.
"I think it wouldn't be wise to enter the last floor," I said finally, and immediately, everyone stopped in their tracks and turned to me.
"Why do you think that Prime Arys?" asked Prime Lancebrook. The source of this content ɪs novel✦fire.net
A moment later, a small shard appeared in my hand. All their eyes focused on it, with some looking confused while others had their expressions turned serious.
Still, they don't know what it is. So, the next moment, the texts appeared.
I only had a few minutes x six times. It's not enough to bring find everything, but I think, I have found enough to convince them.
"I think it is a trap that someone had laid out carefully. It all seemed natural, but it was artificial." "The one who did it quite smart, they have barely left behind any trace aside from this I was able to find," I replied.
Nobody said anything for a full minute. They all looked at the text and scanned the shard.
"The text you put is circumstantial. You pick and choose to suit your theory. I can tell at least more different explanations for the points you made," said Prime Kamilis, the fossil.
I feared as much and, to be honest. I couldn't blame them. It is circumstantial.
If I had time, even an hour, I might have been able to find something concrete, but I did not. At least not enough to convince people.
"I think you are doing this intentionally, Arys. You want all of us to leave. So, you come in sneakily and get all the forbidden power crystals," accused Prime Yertov.
He is the man who tried to loot the forbidden crystal from me earlier.
"I think Prime Arys has something. We shouldn't hurry to get to the last floor," said the man, surprising me.
I am not surprised by his words. I could tell there are quite a lot of people who want to be careful. I was surprised because he was a man who had attacked me a few weeks ago.
I did not think, he would speak in my favor openly.
"Prime Arys, what you said didn't have merit. Thus, we shouldn't waste any more of the time and enter the final floor," said old Lynx Beastman, another fossil.
"It is up to you whether you want to believe me or not, Prime Garadil. I believe in what I have found and will not be taking a step inside the last floor," I replied and moved to turn when I found myself in an energy lock.
"Unfortunately, I can not let you do that," said Kamilis. Alarming me and several others who instantly become defensive.
"You leaving might trigger something. I can't risk it. I need those forbidden crystals," he added quickly. Making some relieved.
"Then I will stay here with those who want to stay, while those who want to go to the last floor can go with you," I replied, adding others with me.
Thankfully, a few nodded.
"We can't do that Prime Arys. We can't trust if any of you won't try to leave."
"So, you will enter with us. It will be fine if you don't pick the forbidden crystals," replied the man, and the energy lock became tighter that, I couldn't even speak.
It made me panic, and I wanted to scream, but I couldn't. Even my soul sense is locked in it.
Some looked alarmed seeing that, but as the eyes of the fossils moved toward them. Making them shut up.
Most of the fossils are on it, while those who seemed too uncertain are letting their greed take over. They need the forbidden power crystal and for it, they are willing to take the risk.
I pleaded with the few uncertain-looking fossils in my eyes, but those bastards looked away.
A few seconds later. A mid-prime appeared in front of the door. He looked scared and very unwilling, but the fear of the Prime had made him place both of his hands on the door.
He pushed them open and revealed the same screen, with a similar view.
It made a lot of them relieved.
"See, it is the same. Prime Arys is too imaginative about the danger," said Prime Kamalis, with many Prime nodding in affirmation.
Still, some have doubts, like the Prime who had opened the door.
He would always be the first to step inside, but this time he just stood there. Making Prime Garadil to be the first Prime to enter inside.
Seeing the strong fossil entering inside. The people hesitantly began entering one after another while I watched in fear.
It looked like other floors, but I didn't want to go. My instincts are screaming at me that there is a danger in there and they are never wrong.
I may be suspicious of all things, but I genuinely feel, the danger awaited on the other side.
The greed of Primes is suppressing their rationale.
I saw Carter stepping in. The ma had completely lost itself in the greed and I can't blame him and others.
Unlike me, that has the power of forbidden power. They don't; they have only heard about the amazing things the forbidden power could do.
Many things they hope to achieve with forbidden power require a lot of it.
I wanted to scream at them, but the bastard was holding me in an energy hold. I can't speak through it.
There is only one way I could do that. Use the forbidden power, but that will make the bastard abandon it all since he will get the whole fountain of it.
Finally, only five Prime have remained. They are not the strongest, but they decided to believe in their instinct.
"Move or I will force you inside," threatened Prime Kamalis, but nobody moved.
"It seemed like, I will have to do it myself," he said and the next moment, he pushed them inside. They tried to resist, but they were far too weak in front of the fossil.
"Now only you had remained, Prime Arys,"
The next moment, I found myself pushed into the screen without any resistance.
