Chapter 146 - Uncle Tom (1/2)

The mansion was before them, an old Jacobean-style house.

Ryan turned towards the ghost and asked while frowning, ”So, this is the mansion and the den of your master.”

”Yes,” answered the small ghost in a low voice.

Once again Nagisa was amazed by seeing this new domineering side of Ryan. In class, he was a quiet fellow. To her, Ryan looked like one of those who would follow the masses. But after seeing this side of Ryan, her views changed.

”So should we enter?” asked Ryan.

Nagisa nodded, and the two of them set their foot on the steps.

Hshh!!

Came a sound from behind. Both of them turned around and found the trees and plants had disappeared. The mansion was flying hundreds of feet above the ground. And they were trapped in a new dimension, probably made by the ancient ghost.

They didn't ponder much about it and entered the mansion with a light stick in hand.

Before entering, Ryan asked his soul weapon Shiro to turn into a light stick and emit normal light for vision. He did as instructed and changed his form into a normal light stick that Ryan was holding at that time.

The internal scene of the mansion was similar to that of a horror movie. Dusty floor, dirty walls, spider webs hanging all around. A perfect place for horror and thriller.

Nagisa was sacred and was holding onto Ryan's hand. Darkness was one of the few things that she had enmity with. Ryan was enjoying it to his heart's content cause even without the light he could clearly see and sense everything around him.

He had already located the ancient ghost location and the location of the other small ghosts. Waiting for them in the darkness.

Ryyy-Ryan,” called out Nagisa in a trembling voice. Before entering the mansion her expression was that of a warrior who will cut each one and everyone that comes on her way.

But that attitude and personality changed when she entered the mansion and found it was dark inside.

”What happened?” asked Ryan.

”What should we do now? Should we comfort the ancient ghost? Or should we rescue our friends and escape?”

”Ahh…. Escape where?!” questioned Ryan. And told her about their current situation. They were trapped inside a mansion that works on the ancient ghost's will. On top of that, the mansion was trapped in an unknown dimension that they can't leave without defeating the boss.

Nagisa heard him out and rearranged their priorities. ”First kill the boss then rescue, right?”

”Yes.”

”Oh, okay.”

”But before that,” said Ryan and waved his light stick towards his left.

Shush!!

A small energy ball rolled out of it and hit a target hiding in the darkness.

”Aaahhhhhh,” came a sound from his side.

”Kyaaa,” screamed Nagisa in fear.

Ryan turned around and focused the light towards the figure hiding in the darkness.
