Timothy and Gustav knew how to close that portal now, so they virtually had no other reason to stay in this castle any longer. With that said, they made their way to the door, but after they ran dowaircase that led to the main hall, they were quickly remihat there was a gigantic door in front of them. It was a door that they couldn't open, at least not without destroying it!

  “We should burn it down,” Gustav pitched.

  “No… that door is half a meter thick, it'll take forever. We'll be dead by the time it burns down.” He pointed out.

  With that sidered, they had to figure out a smarter way to get out of here. Jumping through a window might do the trick, but of course, they had to walk back upstairs to find one of the few windows that were in the castle, and furthermore, they had to cut through the cell bars just to jump out. It was a lengthy process which could lead to their demise, just as quickly as their first idea.

  The two of them were stumped, and ten seds ter, their ce for an escape was taken away from them, because the enemy mages caught up to them. One of them caught up, at least, and several more could be heard running across the corridor above their heads!

  The one mage that got to them, was strong enough to immobilize Timothy and Gustav. Although he didn't attack their ans, he did restrict their movements, their limbs, and had them hover about four feet above the ground.

  The mage then asked, “Whie of you devilish fiends killed master Urayas?”

  The two of them could barely even move their jaws, a a response was expected out of them. her of them wao speak, but Timothy did find enough strength to utter a single word. “Bastard…”

  They were in a horrible positiht now, and they may die just seds ter, however, the threat of a brutal death, in this case, was a great motivator. Despite the restris that were cast upon him, Tim still moved his fingers, as much as he could, and at the same time he had summohe Bone Multiplier ability to his aid! The tter has proved itself really handy to him i days, the possibilities with it were greater than what a mere fireball could offer, so he put it to use once more.

  Timothy tugged oelekiic mage's ribcage, but since he could barely move his fingers, he couldn’t do any damage. At st, he decided to dual cast the Bone Multiplier, which made the ability be more noticeable to the naked eye, and it was especially apparent a sed ter, as several men ran down to the entrance hall, with luminous torches on their hands!

  Despite the clear, greater risk that he was fag now, Tim kept fighting. He poured as much mana as possible towards the ability, and made all ten of his fingers put some work in!

  “What are you doing?” The mage reacted, as he started feeling funny, his insides were moving around a lot more than they were supposed to. He sehis.

  The mage felt even more pressure five seds ter, and so his grip over Timothy and Gustav, lessened just by a nudge. Gustav caught up with what was happening, especially after he dropped half-a-foot closer to the ground all of a sudden, he was more alert now, and just khat Timothy ying with bones again!

  sidering that ten men had reached the se already, this was their st ake a move, otherwise they’ll be killed shortly after! Gustav had a pn in mind, so he tilted his head downwards just a little bit, and then muttered something that was hard for ao hear.

  “You should've ripped my lungs out while you still could,” He mumbled, and then he summoned an unholy amount of fire.

  This was no normal ter-attack, however, because he was shooting fire out of his mouth, not his palms. He poured a nine foot wide fireball against the mage, and not only did he burn him alive, but he hit a bunch of es as well!

  In the heat of the moment, and as his hands were freed of that telekiic grip, Tim then broke that unlucky mage's ribcage apart, and then shot all of those broken boowards the remaining enemies! It was brutal, but effective, because just like that, they wiped out aire seages, regardless of how each of their individual mana qualities was greater than that of Tim's, and Gustav's. Those mages had put all of their mana in telekiic magic, so their skin was as soft as a vas, they weren't meant to be fighters, they weren't meant to dodge bolts.

  “You’re right, we do work well together.” Gustav then said, and he had a point, because their ter attack had been in perfect sync with each other's.

  “Yeah, we do, but these bastards were also pretty pathetic.” Tim said, his mind was tainted with violence, perhaps more than usual too. “They could've lifted our kidneys up to our throat, but they didn’t, they were all cowards. They're a bastarding shame to anyone else that's a human.”

  The two of them walked over the severed corpses afterwards, and tried to look for a key. They hoped that the rge door in front of them would have a keyhole that they could twist on, in order to get out of here.

  However, they didn't find any key of sorts on these corpses. They still couldn’t get out of here, but that wasn’t too much of a problem, because they weren't in a rush anymore. It was best to walk up in the castle corridain, and look for a lever that could open the doors, and this was their greatest hope, because they didn't want to burn the door off of a perfectly good castle.

  Timothy put most of the several, haorches out by stepping on them, and just picked up two of them, so he and Gustav could explore the pce. He figured that these dead mages wouldn't he torches anymore, they were gone food.

  “How messed up is this, huh?” Gustav said, as they walked up the stairs. “These bastards forced our hand, it wasn’t even our pn to fight them, and then they died. They all died for nothing...”

  “They uimated us, that's why they were so fortable with threatening us. They threatened Valporovus too, because I’m sure that old fart had opehe portal himself, to let those tipedes out, but only a bunch of beetles went through the portal instead. Their pn failed horribly, so these dumb bastards lost their lives, their castle, and their universe today.” He followed along.

  Tim put the pieces of the puzzle together thhly, he made great sehe telekiic mages lost everything they owned, and ha over to him. Not only could he close that portal now, but he could summon a new portal as well, because the power that he accepted in his bloodstream, fully gave him the capability to be the one and only master, when it came to entering this universe whenever he wao! He hit the jackpot, even though he almost had his heart torn apart just moments ago! He was a bit happy.

  [gratutions,] The system then beeped, [You just killed four more humans back there, the lot of them were telekiic mages. In exge, you've won 12,000 system points, and you’ve accumuted 31,000 in total.]

  “I guess this is what the cept behind Risk & Reward means,” He smiled.
