Chapter 457 - Clash of Groups Heading to the Main Building (2/2)

”Can't we help them?” Tommy asked as they climbed the stairs slowly.

”If you help one of them, can you afford to help the others?” Jason asked calmly. ”Once you help one, the other will come towards you. At that time, what reason would you have to refuse them?”

Tommy opened his mouth before closing them again. He clearly didn't have any concrete reason to help them. All that he had was the sympathy because they were fighting so hard only to die in this place.

”If you want to help them, you should have the power for that,” Kanae added. ”Blindly stepping forward is no different with asking for a death wish.”

He himself wouldn't be able to face against numerous monsters on his own. Trying to help strangers was not as easy as it seemed. Even though their first meeting was Kanae helping him out, it was only because he was on the way to her home.

Here, the situation was vastly different. They clearly didn't have enough power if they wanted to help those people.

”The only way to help them is by finishing this battle,” Jason replied. ”But the big question is, do you have the power for that?”

”I don't know.”

”We'll find out up there.”

Quickening their pace, they continued to make their way up. The next few floors were not much different from the previous one. The hectic situation lasted until they reached the fifth floor.

”Whoa! It's slippery,” Tommy quickly held the nearby cupboard.

Kanae looked towards the floor in bewilderment. The floor was wet, but it was not ordinary water. The liquid was cohesive, meaning it was more likely to stick together. It flooded the floor but not in entirety causing the floor to be filled with numerous puddles.

”Watch out!” Jason swung his sword towards the incoming monster. His force caused his body to tilt to the back, and he fell to the ground.

GUBRAK!

”Are you alright?” Kanae asked, but her attention was on the monsters in front of them.

”Kind of,” Jason rubbed the back of his head. ”We have to figure out a way to fight them in this slippery floor.”

Kanae moved her feet slightly. Her lips curled up. ”Do you two know ice skating?”

”What?”

Without answering them, Kanae kicked the wall, forcing her to move forward. Reaching the first monster, she made a slicing movement, cutting his hand as she used his feet to change her direction.

Jason's eyes lit up when he saw how smooth her movement was. ”Of course, it can be done like this.”

With that, he followed after the girl. The slippery floor now became his friend as he used the wet floor to make his attack.

”Wait for me!” Tommy yelled before following after them. However, in the next second, he tumbled to the ground.

Ouch!

It was not as easy as it looked like.
