Dungeon Full Of Jinnis 2: Race To The Red Knight! Part 2

***

"Hey!" I heard someone say.

I could feel someone repeatedly pat my face, slowly becoming more and more powerful. I slowly opened my eyes from my nap, it was…

..Yong?

"Huh..?" I said while still being sleepy.

"Wake up man! We gotta get up quickly!".

"Quickly.. Oh yeah.." I got up slowly.

That's right, I took a quick nap before arriving at the pyramids. I stretched a bit quickly before washing my face with water to wake up completely.

"Alright, what do we start with!" I said and started walking off.

I felt someone pulling my jacket from my collar.

"Nuh-uh! I told you guys, you need to follow me! Remember?" Karl asked.

Oh yeah.. How did I even forget?!

"Alright, now listen up closely, can't have any of you fail this!" Karl said while walking towards the center of the small town.

It was a very small town, if we count inhabitants. It felt pretty empty to look around.

"Alright, I just want everyone to have an eye for someone wearing a knight's costume, if you find them just tell me"

We were the only ones that were dropped off here for some reason.

***

I was grabbing the flying matt pretty tightly, it felt as if I would fall off in any moment!

"Where are we going?!" I asked with the wind on my face.

"I changed my mind, we're going close to the Pyramid of Sahure!"

I felt my phone in my pocket vibrating, I closely tried to pull it out without dropping it. It was a call from boss Leon!

"Y-Yes boss?" I answered.

"Listen closely Haidar, and tell your brother too! I'm moving to Abusir, close to the Pyramid of Sahure, I want you to be close as well! I can sense immense spiritual pressure over there!" Leon said, it sounded as if he was moving rapidly fast.

He was most probably riding on his famous Jaguar, the one that moves with untraceable speed if it smells either fear or spiritual energy. Rumor has it that it's four times as big as a normal Jaguar and once it reaches its maximum power it transforms into a hunting form, having clouds around its body. Sadly however, I have never had the chance to see its true beauty.

"Yes boss, we're also soon there!"

"Good, see you there" he answered and hung up.

I looked over at Hakim.

"HAKIM!! L-LEON IS GOING TO THE SAME PLACE AS US! HE'S SENSING SOME KIND OF-" I got cut off.

"Hmph, of course, I sense the same thing!"

Man, my lack of sensing energy is off by a mile compared to these two! Will I ever even be close to being as good as these two?!

"Aladdin, increase the speed!" Hakim said while tapping Aladdin's shoulder.

"I guess I could do that!" he answered and suddenly I felt as if we were going faster.

***

We were going through the empty town, no one but people working around the street were outside. The buildings felt empty, there was no color. This city is basically what's depicted in typical middle eastern media.

"Maaaaan!" I said while yawning.

"Are you still sleepy?" Tengan asked.

"Yeah I guess" I rubbed my eyes.

I looked around at everyone, they felt pretty tired.

"Hey, why not get something to eat?" I asked with joy.

Everyone turned behind towards me very slowly. No one answered..

"Fine, let's eat quick" Karl said.

We looked around quickly for some kind of restaurant, until we saw a very small restaurant at a corner. There was only a cook, he was serving bread with small slices of kebab. We ordered 5 of those with 5 small bottles of water and ate up quickly.

"Finished up? Ready to go?" Karl asked while finishing up.

"Yeah.. You seem in a very big rush, everything's fine?" Yong asked.

It took a couple of seconds before Karl answered.

"I just want to get my jinni fixed to help you guys, nothing wrong with that right?" he said with a chuckle.

"I guess not.. Alright let's go!" Yon said.

Karl was walking in front of us all, Yong and Yong were walking closely behind Karl while me and Tengan were a little far behind the group. I looked over at one of the streets, I could see from the corner of my eye something moving, but when I looked in that direction I couldn't see anything.

"Hey, do you also see something moving?" I whispered to Tengan.

"Er.. No?" he whispered back but with a little louder voice.

Yong glanced back but didn't say anything. I felt the same feeling of something moving behind us, I looked back. This time I could see a small shadow moving before disappearing.

"There, did you see it?"

He looked back.

"No.. Maybe you're just dreaming man.."

I kept walking while looking at the streets.

"No.. I don't think I'm dreaming"

I looked back while continuing to walk forward.

"I think there is someone he-" I said before falling to the ground.

Suddenly, there was some kind of sword next to my throat. I was pinned down with an armored hand while dust was all around me.

"JIWOO!" Tengan shouted.

I tried to move back up but the person had it's hand still on my chest to keep me down.

"Tell me.." the person said.

"JIWOO BE CAREFUL!" Yong shouted.

I could hear how he was worried just from his voice.

"THIS MIGHT BE THE-" Karl shouted before getting cut off.

"..Are you this Jiwoo person I've been hearing about?" the person continued while revealing themselves to have a knight's armor.
