Chapter 3: Arrive
1468 Words
After a few days, they had arrived at an island in the middle of the ocean called Tartarus prison.
"To all the prisoners on board 301, please disembark and land on the island."
There was a notification coming from their ship.
When the prisoners from ship 301 got out of the ship, they saw a lot of prisoners gathered in front of the big gate of the island.
Beside the gate of this island, there is a statue of a three-headed dog.
Yes, the animal is a Cerberus dog.
"Before you enter the gates of Tartarus, there is one thing I will tell you all."
Suddenly a voice came out of Cerberus' mouth.
"Remember, this prison is a prison of Tartarus. This is a gathering place for criminals who have committed grave sins and fools."
"Therefore we suggest forming a group to defend your own life"
"This prison is divided into 7 layers, the first layer is a place that will test you. No matter how many people keep their abilities a secret, we will monitor their abilities in this first layer."
"Because if you don't bring out your abilities, you will die horribly"
"I'll give you 30 minutes to talk to each other. Khukhukhukhu"
After saying that, the voice inside the Cerberus laughed happily as if waiting for a good show.
"Damn it, he doesn't see us as humans anymore" The bespectacled teenage boy grumbled in his heart
Then he saw a woman with pink hair with twin tails coming towards him.
"Hey you, do you want to team up with me?"
The boy with glasses didn't know the reason why this woman came to him, among the other prisoners who were here, he was definitely the weakest.
"Among the other prisoners, why should it be with me?" Naoto asked suspiciously.
"Why? hehehe it's because your abilities are the most useful in this first layer of Tartarus, Naoto Kegane" The woman smiled at Naoto.
"How did you know my name?! Who are you ?!" Naoto was startled and he instinctively retreated backward.
"Not only do I know your name, but even your great sin I also know. How about you, are you interested in grouping with me?" The pink twin tail-haired woman extended her hand towards Naoto.
"Wait a minute!"
Suddenly a big bald man with a dragon tattoo on his head came towards the two of them.
"Hey girl, listening to your conversation just now. You said his ability is the most useful in the first layer?" The man interrupted Naoto Kegane's conversation with the twin tail-haired girl.
"Yes, it is true"
The twin tail-haired woman nodded her head.
"Hahaha, then how about you join the group--." Before the man could finish his sentence, the girl coldly refused his offer
"Not interested" The twin tail-haired woman responded in a cold tone.
"Don't be so cold, you'll change your mind when you hear my name. Listen carefully my name is Drogoz, a member of the Hundred Demons"
"I'll make sure that I can take over this island called the prison of Tartarus and I'm sure it will satisfy you, hehehe" Drogoz looked at the body of the twin tail girl with a mischievous smile on his face.
"Is it true? Only with a brain dead like you can satisfy me?" The woman smiled sarcastically at the big man
"Bastard, how dare you underestimate me!" Suddenly Drogoz's body appeared a lot of blades on his body, even his hands had turned into very large blades.
Then Drogoz rushed at the woman with his huge blade and slashed at her.
Before the blade cut off the woman's head, there was a shot towards Drogoz's body. It sent him bouncing to the side.
"It is enough !"
Suddenly a tall woman was wielding a long katana sword with long black hair and slender legs.
"You are still in the jurisdiction, therefore you must not bring out your abilities before entering the gate."
"Otherwise, don't blame us for acting decisively." The woman took out the katana from its sheath.
"Tch, just this once you can consider him lucky. If we meet again, I'll chop up both of you" Drogoz and his group walked away to the front to wait for the time
30 minutes had passed, then another voice came out from the Cerberus.
"Looks like you guys have got a group, hehehe actually there's one more thing I forgot when I told you earlier"
"When you enter this gate, you will be separated in different places. Your goal is to find a way out. Ah there's one more suggestion from me, you all should be together to get to the next floor"
next
"Alright, all of you can enter inside the gate!"
The prisoners advanced with their groups into the large gate.
"Alright Naoto, since you are a man then go first"
"What?!"
"Come on, I already know you're a coward. So just accept your fate."
The girl patted Naoto's shoulder.
"Hey wait a minute!"
Suddenly a male voice stopped the two of them.
Naoto Kegane and the girl looked back to see who had called out to them.
"Can I join your group?"
They both saw a man with short yellow hair, the person was not wearing a shirt and showed his six-pack body wrapped in a brown scarf.
"Ah sorry to interrupt you before entering the gate, my name is Hazama" The man smiled as he extended his hand towards Naoto Ketone.
"Ah, my name is Naoto Kegane" Naoto Kegane shook Hazama's hand and smiled as well.
"I just overheard your conversation with Drogoz. I remind you with good intentions, when you see Drogoz then you must run away"
"Oh, why should I do that?" Naoto asked in confusion.
"Since you've damaged that person's reputation, there's no way you'll be allowed to just walk away."
Naoto Kegane shuddered in fear at the thought of what Drogoz would do to him.
"Hazama, thank you"
After seeing Naoto Kegane's reaction, Hazama thought in his heart.
"Geez, looks like I can't use him as a pawn. But at least that woman can be useful in my plans" Hazama said to himself with a sigh.
"No need to thank me. Naoto, may I know what that woman's name is?" Hazama responded to Naoto's gratitude with a smile and turned to the pink-haired woman with twin tails behind Naoto.
"I don't know I don't know either"
The two of them saw the twin tail woman looking down as if in thought.
"Ah, sorry I was just thinking for a while"
"Oh yeah I guess I haven't told you my name, I'm Claris Lily. I hope we can work together in this first layer and beyond." Then Claris Lily extended her hand to both of them.
"Hey you guys over there, only your group hasn't entered the gate yet"
"Okay, we'll be there" Claris Lily replied in a cheerful tone.
"Why are you so cheerful? Didn't you come to Tartarus Prison for being forcibly transferred by the government?"
"Of course I wasn't forcibly transferred, because I was the one who wanted to enter the Tartarus prison myself," said Hazama
"Oh? I am also the same as you although a little different" Claris Lily said
Then they both entered the gate, there they came to a very large and closed room.
Surprisingly, everyone was still standing here. There were no doors or windows or a hole in this room as if they were already in a closed room.
Suddenly there was a projection screen above their sky.
In the projection appeared a man with a Cerberus mask.
"Looks like all the prisoners have already entered the Tartarus gate, well with this we can start"
"The first layer is called the labyrinth of Tartarus, in that labyrinth, there are places that are dangerous and there are places that are forbidden. In a dangerous area, you will be faced with death."
"You only need to go through this labyrinth, remember the essence of this place. Whatever your abilities are if you use them where they will be recorded in our report."
"Hope you guys can survive, hehehe....."
After the projection screen above them disappeared, suddenly a yellow smoke shot out from under them.
Then the bodies of all the prisoners immediately went limp and their vision began to blur.
"Damn it, this is a sleeping gas" Hazama cursed those guards who were here.
"Ah no, I can't drop my precious pendant!" Naoto Kegane quickly stuffed his precious pendant into his pocket.
After a few minutes, the bodies of all the prisoners went limp and fell, all of them without exception had fallen asleep.
But the guards would never have guessed that there was a girl with twin tail hair who had disappeared among all the sleeping prisoners.
