No one's POV

Currently, both Shizuku and Yuka were standing off with the Architect, as he was blocking their path to reaching Nhazul.

Architect: You're both quite amusing. Quite amusing indeed. Try a bit harder to break free from my design, why don't you?

Shizuku: Shut up and get out of our way!

Shizuku would quickly rush the Architect, hitting him multiple times, however her strikes were all blocked. Speeding around it, Yuka threw her throwing knives, aimed for his head, but they too were blocked as well. As this would happen, the Architect soon started to look at them with interest.

Architect: There you both go! Just like that! Hahahaha!!!!

The Architect would go on to slash Yuka's shoulder, making her cry out in pain, as blood started staining her arm.

Shizuku: Yuka!

Architect: Ahaha, is that all you've got? Well, I guess there won't be any deviations after all. You humans and Demi Humans never fail to disappoint. The System I built can product and respond to any and all outcome. Such feeble attempts will never kill my creation. But I suppose this is the best you can do.

Suddenly, the Architect was slashed in the face from the side by Shizuku.

Shizuku: Yuka, hurry! Get to Hatake!

Yuka didn't respond and immediately used her speed to rush over to Nhazul, however the Architect had quickly caught up to her, going to slam his fist down on her, but she managed to just barely jump out of the way, landing next to Shizuku, as the Architect looked at them.

Architect: So you managed to dodge my attack, huh...? Not bad.

The Architect then noticed something on both Yuka and Shizuku's shoulders which took him by surprise.

Architect's thoughts: Shadows? The rules of this room don't allow for such things to come froth, but those are without a doubt Shadows.

The Architect then noticed that Hajime , Yue, Shea, Tio, Aiko and Kaori all had Shadows attached to them as well.

Architect: To think the King planted his soldiers in you all... How did you all appear here? And what are your relations with Nhazul Hatake?

Yuka: We're his friends!

Shizuku: And we're here to save him! So move aside!

Hearing this, the Architect simply looked at them with a twisted grin.

Architect: Then perhaps it wasn't the King's doing then. Alright, I'll give you two a chance. Today, one of the great Monarchs will descend upon this world once more.

The two of them looked over and saw purple aura swirling around Nhazul, as the Architect continued talking.

Architect: And I'm going to give you both the chance to witness this glorious event. However...

The Architect looked over to Hajime and the others fighting off the statues.

Architect: All of your little human friends...shall die right here, right now.

???: Says whom?

The Architect's eyes widened, as before he could even react,
