Suddenly, a ladder was lowered down by the railings, connecting the airship and the land. Some yellow dust was blown into the air again.

Several people wearing white robes climbed down the ladder. The eye-blinding sunlight illuminated on their bodies.

There were three male wizards and two female wizards. All of them were carrying black leather travel cases.

"The place is deadly silent," a man with short brown hair muttered. He was walking at the front of the crew. The man had a pair of golden glowing eyes and there was a silver metallic glint on his skin.

"The origami girls..." a man with black hair said in a serious tone. He noticed the gray paper girls that were hiding in the shadows. The origami girls were staring at the wizards quietly.

"We need to move, now!" he added. The man looked nervous. "Green, turn right. Hurry!"

"Why? Are you afraid of paper monsters? Come on, Stigma, you're a Liquid Stage wizard..." Angele noticed those origami girls under the tree as well.

"Well, legends say that the origami girls live in a tree that has a large clock on it. A distorted black shadow will start winding up the clock and the origami girls will leave the tree to hunt any living beings in their range. The only way to get rid of them is to kill the dark shadow hiding under the tree. The origami girls come from nowhere and they're endless." Stigma had a serious expression on the face. "Didn't you see that the other creatures choose to stay away from this tree?"

The wizards heard Stigma's words and reconsidered the situation.

"Let's leave then."

Angele nodded slightly.

"An altar! Let's go there!" Hikari pointed at the left side of the tree.

Angele turned to the left and glanced around. He saw a grey stone altar sitting in an empty area quietly.

A cross-shaped yellow rune was floating over the altar. It looked like a yellow bead with four sharp needles. It was crystal clear.

Yellow smokes were rising from the rune constantly.

The five walked to the altar together quickly.

Stigma was checking the origami girls from time to time. He wanted to make sure that they were not moving.

Reyline held his dual scimitars tight in his hands, glancing around and checking the situation. The three male wizards formed a triangle around the two female wizards.

The origami girls stayed patiently under the trees, staring at the wizards curiously. There was nothing on their faces, so Angele was not sure if they were just waiting for the dark shadow to wind up the clock.

The five wizards felt relieved when they arrived at the altar. They sat down around the stone base and started checking their gears.

Angele sighed in relief as he sat down on the stone base of the altar.

According to Stigma, those altars would never be attacked by magical creatures and the runes would regenerate if they were taken away, but no one could explain why.

Stigma sprinkled some green dust over his black dagger as he started talking.

"Get ready everyone. Make sure you can find the needed spell materials if we engage in any battle. The place is dangerous, but first, I need to confirm our current location. I didn't expect to see the origami girls here."
