“Huh! What idea? Is it some sort of plan?” James asked.
“I think I should let my daughters live with Charlotte more. I meant not only Julia but also Ely. I think Charlotte would help them not become me.” Brian answered.
“That’s not a bad idea! But, right now, that doesn’t matter. We need to find your daughters soon. By the way, why didn’t you let her use teleportation?” James asked.
“Although those golems might not have souls, they still have minds. It doesn’t matter if we show them that our strength is weaker than theirs, but if we show them that our strength is stronger, they could possibly contact the planet.”
“That would be our death. Of course, I am not completely sure about this, so I won’t directly jump to a conclusion, but that’s what I believe at the very least.” Brian explained as they walked forward.
Soon, they noticed Julia and Ely waiting for them at the front. They were constantly shaking their hands.
Suddenly, James picked up Brian in his arms and ran toward them.
“Dude, stop! I should carry you. You are injured.” Brian cried out loud in his face, but James didn’t even bother replying.
Brian gave up after he understood that he couldn’t get into his best friend’s mind. James carried him for ten minutes until they finally reached Julia’s and Ely’s location.
“Dad, did you ask uncle James to give you a princess ride? Aren’t you ashamed?” Ely started teasing as soon as he put his foot on the ground.
“Daddy, I want a piggyback ride.” Julia raised her hands and asked her father to give her a piggyback ride.
Just hearing her request, he felt exhausted but still gave her the ride on his back. As for Ely, he simply pinched her ears as they continued their journey toward the location.
They tried to increase their speed as much as possible since the golems could find them, especially with Omega Ranks. After half an hour, they finally reached their destination.
They were surprised to see a strange door. It was just a door, nothing else. They couldn’t feel anything at all. It didn’t feel powerful. But, it did feel mysterious.
Brian looked at others and, seeing their confused and shocked expression spoke.
“Alright, anything can happen once I open the door, okay? So, we got to be careful.”
Three of them gulped down and nodded. They quietly stared at the door. This door was nearly two meters tall and one meter wide. It was a single-handle door. The door looked like it was made out of dark grey wood.
Brian gulped and stepped forward. He bit his finger hard, and his blood poured out. He splashed his blood on the door but nothing happened.
He looked at his daughter and asked her to do it. She nodded and bit her finger, splashing her blood on the door, and the next moment, this door suddenly glowed.
It was glowing green. The energy it released wasn’t high but seemed very similar to Brian and Julia’s aura. They couldn’t help but feel about raising their hand and touching the door.
Brian looked at them and nodded his head silently. He put his hand on the handle and slowly pushed the door.
When he completely opened the door, he saw a pathway. He gulped even harder when he looked inside. It was a hallway. On the sides, there was a pond of lava.
He didn’t fear lava, but they had only opened the door, and it was already lava inside. He couldn’t even fathom what kind of situation they would face.
“Are you ready?” Brian looked at them and asked.
Three of them nodded their heads, and he slowly entered. His foot stepped on the hallway, and for a moment, it trembled. He was extremely cautious of the traps, but nothing happened. He took a few more steps and signaled them to follow.
They also moved in, and as soon as they did, the door suddenly got closed.
“B.b.b.Brian…. This isn’t going to be some sort of a horror movie, right?” James couldn’t help but shutter as he asked.
“It looked more like an adventure to find the lost treasure.” Brian looked at the surroundings and saw nothing but lava.
He then looked at them and continued, “Be careful of your surroundings. No matter what, don’t let your guard down.”
“Dad” Suddenly, Ely pulled him closer to them and raised her hand. A red bullet moved out of her finger and struck a bat.
“What the hell was that?” Brian freaked out. He looked at the bat that fell to the ground. It was nearly a one-meter-tall bat with extremely evil energy flowing inside it.
“Looks like some sort of bat. Do you think this place has monsters as well?” Ely answered.
“Not think! There are.” James shouted as he pointed his finger at the massive number of bats rushing toward them. Each of them was one meter tall, so they were pretty dangerous.
“James, you at the back, Ely, you at the front.” Brian immediately moved between them as James and Ely got into a fighting stance.
Ely swept her hands, and the red energy burst out of her. It transformed into a whip as she smacked those bats with it. Her whip moved around, smacking those bats.
She took down all of them in a single strike, which surprised everyone.
“Isn’t this a bit too easy?” James asked with some concern in his voice.
“It seemed a bit too easy, but let’s continue. We need to get the weapon and leave as soon as possible.” Brian responded and continued, “Ely, you will lead us. Anything appears; just kill them.”
“Daddy, shouldn’t we at least confirm whether they are even going to attack us or not?” Ely asked with confusion.
“In a normal situation, yes, but a slight mistake could take our lives here. Besides, do you really think any being living here won’t be our enemy?” Brian asked.
“Ahh! That makes sense. But, I will still hold back a few seconds before attacking. I don’t want to kill mercilessly.” Ely nodded her head and walked forward as she told her own condition.
Hearing her words, James got speechless.
‘Niece, you almost blew up the entire galaxy and still think you are merciful?’
Although James thought of that, he didn’t say anything. He knew Brian’s family was a bit of a nutcase. Brian had told him about his parents, and now, it felt like this behavior had been inherited from the generations.
If it threatens your family, don’t hesitate to slaughter your own race. He also noticed something else.
Brian’s family was indeed extreme, especially Brian. He either hated someone to the bone or loved someone dearly. If it is in between, he won’t even care.
And that makes him happy. After finding out that he was adopted, he moved out after finishing high school.
Brian gave him some ideas, and he established a business. He moved out because they only took care of him because of a massive load of cash someone gave them to take care of him.
This is why he was angry. His own parents asked someone to take care of him by giving them money. But now, he began to understand a little. He found that he was actually an alien.
Since he was an alien, that made sense why his parents left him with humans. Although he didn’t know precisely why, he could make some scenes in his mind, including his parents being dead or being chased by some powerful beings.
No matter what, he would still be a hindrance to them. And, his parents weren’t like Brian’s parents, who could create living humans out of tech.
He sometimes wonders what kind of habits his parents have. Do they always live in anger? Do Invincible Race look just like humans? Just how powerful are they to be considered invincible?
Is he ever going to meet his parents? All these questions roamed in his mind, but he didn’t know the answer.
“James! James!” Brian shouted as James suddenly shook his head and woke up into reality.
“What happened? Why were you lost in such deep thoughts?” Brian asked.
“Nothing! Anyway, let’s continue!” James shook his head and didn’t answer.
Brian found it a bit odd, but they continued to move nonetheless. They eventually stumble in front of a strange altar. When Brian saw it, his eyes narrowed.
‘Don’t tell me this is the weapon?’
“I don’t think this is a weapon, daddy.” Julia’s voice rang in his ears.
“What made you say that?” Brian asked her with confusion.
“I am not feeling the energy from it. And, something has been bothering me for a while.” Julia answered.
“What do you mean?” When it comes to his own race’s ability, his daughter was far more capable than him. So, he wouldn’t mind listening to her.
“Daddy, when we come inside, we felt the energy from the door. But, as we moved in, all we can feel is mana. Even that altar is releasing nothing but a massive amount of mana.”
“We aren’t sure what kind of weapon it is but what if it is not a weapon at all? I mean there could be a chance that this whole place was that weapon/tool.”
“Wait, you are suggesting to me that this whole space, or rather this door is the weapon?”
