And with that, the group begins their search for the ID Card to get the door open. The cage is labeled "PTM-48." They walk towards the cage, but suddenly see it shaking and hear a loud bang.
"Oh là là! What a spirited Phantom," Rook comments.
"It's certainly strong. Look at the door. It nearly broke it down," Vil says.
"Even I could bust this cage open. Vil, Rook, let me take this one. Stand back!" Epel says.
All right, let's see what you've got," Vil says, and turns to the others, "Briar, you and the girls come with me."
"Okay," Briar says.
Sereia and Trinket nod their heads in reply.
"I'll intercept it," Rook says.
"Right, thanks!" Epel says, "Okay; here goes..." And casts his magic, "HRAH!"
With the cage's lock broken, and the cage open. Then the Phantom comes out. With that, Epel uses his magic to strike at the Phantom. Rook does the same. Vil and Briar also use their magic against the Phantom. Surprisingly, the Phantom seems to be more vigilant. Luckily, they're able to defeat the mansion and it melts into a puddle.
"The Phantom came rushing out and took a blast from me, then a follow-up from Vil while it was staggered..." Rook says. "And then Epel landed the finishing blow. Beauté! What a marvelous display of teamwork."
Yes, that was a solid fight. Fine work, Epel," Vil says.
Epel is surprised.
Vil notices it and asks, "What is it? Your jaw is hanging open. Did you use too much magic?"
"No! It's just, I'm used to compliments from Rook, but hearing one from you is a bit of a surprise..." Epel says.
"I give credit where it's due," Vil says, "You've grown so much in such a short time, I hardly recognize you.
"Yes, sir! I'll do my best!" Epel happily says.
Soon enough, the group decides to arrive at the next cage labeled, "PTM-29."
"Let's try this cage next," Rook says and casts his magic, "Hrah!"
And with that, Rook's magic hits the cage, however, the cage is proven to be tougher than they thought.
"Man... I'm always amazed at how you can hit the weakest spot with pinpoint accuracy," Epel says, amazed.
"I agree," Sereia says.
"Rook never fails to hit a target. His aim is perfect. That's not the issue..." Vil says.
"Yes, the cages have gotten more robust the further down we've gone. I fear my approach might take a while at this rate," Rook says.
"Then let's take a different tack. I have just the thing," Vil says.
"What do you mean?" Epel questions.
Just then, Vil walks over and brings out the bottle Rook has brought to him.
" Oh, hey... Isn't that the serum Rook brought?" Epel questions.
"It is. If I pour this on the edge of the cage..." Vil says, and begins to apply the serum on the cage.
And with that, the cage is beginning to dissolve.
Epel is surprised, "Whoa, it's dissolving."
"I'm afraid I only have enough left to weaken part of the outside, though," Vil says.
Then turns to Rook, "Would you do the honors of finishing the job?"
"Merci, Roi du Poison: I'll get that door open this time. Ready yourselves!" Rook says, and opens the door.
