31 - Chapter XX

Luke moved Sebastian far from the rest leaving Ashleigh with Antonio Laurent, Jose Lopez, Afolabi Adebayo, Salim Nair and Zhang Wei.

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5." Binilang ni Ashleigh ang mga makakaharap niya. "Please don't disappoint me." Nakatingin lamang ang iba at yung iba ay napapatawa.

[Poinsettia]: Listen. We only have less than 2 hours, 1 hour and 44 minutes to be exact. We should defeat our enemies in that time period or else they will have time to think of another plan or hide.

[Hyacinth]: Hey, you sound like we are part of your flowery group! No way! We are only doing this because we want to win.

[Azalea]: I like my agent name. I'll follow your orders as long as you're sure we're gonna win. By the way, what's with the glasses and glove in my inventory?

[Poinsettia]: Th-Thanks Mi—A-Azalea! A-Ahem.. please wear those glasses. You can see the enemy's status with that. I've also updated the details of each guardian you will face- their race, level, etc.. You can see it through that glasses. I promise it'll be useful. Also, after defeating a master, please place the glove onto their head. That will reveal their real information to our system.

[Azalea]: Whoa.. are these the so-called spy gadgets?!?

[Hyacinth]: P-Please don't be to amazed.

[Poinsettia]: Oh yeah, I almost forgot. They have x2 level multiplier to their guardians but don't worry, we have x5 in ours. Simple, they cheat, we will cheat even greater! Haha! That's all for now. Just keep me updated. I'll do the same. Good luck!

[Hyacinth]: W-Wait.. w-what?!? X5 our guardian's level?!?

[Azalea]: Is that what you meant a while ago?!? Th-Then my Raiden is 3 times 5.. 15 stars?!? S-So cool!

"Hey, why are you whispering to yourself?" Sebastian noticed Luke talking but he didn't heard he is talking to the two. Suddenly, a stair appeared in front of Sebastian. The stair leads upward into the sky. "Heh. My key was recognized. Phoebe, I'll leave him to you, I will open the gate."

"Wh-What was that?!?" Luke was surprised on what he saw."Y-Yuna?"

[Yuna]: That is the stairs leading to the Gate of Heavens sir.

"Th-The gate of Heavens?!?"

[Z-One]: Nine! Pigilan mo siyang umakyat! Kunin mo yung susi!

"O-Okay! Sakura! Get the key! Cut his arm if needed!" Luke gave his order to Sakura. Sakura then dashed towards Sebastian to cut his arm and get the key but Phoebe blocked her attack. "Tsk. Crysta! Cover the path with crystal wall!" Crysta immediately used her skill and blocked Sebastian's path going to the stairs.

"Y-You have two guardians?" Sebastian was surprised to know that Luke has more that one guardian. "Y-You are not just an ordinary player, are you not? Are you in some kind of a group? Wait.. I remember Hernandez told me you were the one defeated him in region 8!"

"Y-Yes.. I'm also in a group aiming for the Holy Book!" Luke replied.

"Then those two are your allies? Ha! What a nice coincidence! Two different groups hacked the game trying to get that goddamn book. Hahahaha! Real nice!" Sebastian laughed hard again. "Guess what, I also have another guardian."

A huge clock appeared behind Sebastian and a guardian came out. The guardian is wearing a black torn robe with a huge hour glass with blades on both end. His face is covered with the hood of the robe. He also has a pocket watch worn on his neck.

"Alam ko na yan gunggong. Alam ko din na may isa ka pang guardian." Luke said to him knowing he wouldn't understand his language.

"Wh-What did you say? The rules is english only idiot!"

"You're the idiot! Bobo! May rules ka pang nalalaman eh ikaw nga itong nandadaya sa game!"

[Z-One]: Haha! Good one!

"Yuna, analysis."
