Chapter 54 - Jail Break Mission: Plans

"Getting out of prison? How?" Kaizoku said with a weary expression.

"What else? We're already a solid duo. If our plan worked at the white house, why not here? I'm sure you have a clever idea this time," Sylphy replied with a smile.

Kaizoku thought about an escape plan. "Hmm... Can your Void Walk pass through walls?"

"Of course not, Void Walk is a speed-enhancing spell, not teleportation. Even when I'm disappear when it actived, I can still be touched and felt when I move," Sylphy answered.

She continued, "I could use my hereditary spell, but it requires a difficult method."

"Bloodlust mode is passed down through my family—only someone great and strong enough to endure pain can achieve the Bloodlust form."

"Bloodlust multiplies our speed and strength many times over. The more we're hurt, the stronger we become."

"But I'm sure you wouldn't have the heart to hurt me to trigger my Bloodlust form."

Kaizoku stood up and clenched his right fist. "I dare to."

Seeing Kaizoku ready to hit her, Sylphy froze.

"Eh?"

"No! No! Forget my bad idea!" Sylphy exclaimed in fear.

Kaizoku returned to his original position, sitting and thinking.

"Hmm, I have an idea. It's quite dangerous—are you interested in hearing it?"

Sylphy looked at Kaizoku with curiosity. "Alright, tell me."

"It's simple... Pretend you need to use the bathroom and ask one of the guards to go with you."

"When you reach the bathroom, try your best to immobilize that skeleton, since they obviously can't die."

"If luck is on your side, the iron cell key will be carried by the guard accompanying you. Then, just take the key and return here to save me. Any questions?"

Sylphy listened carefully.

"A basic plan—looks like I'll have to act again. Don't worry, my acting is better than yours, nyeh." Sylphy mocked Kaizoku by sticking out her tongue.

Sylphy moved to the iron bars, ready to execute their plan.

"Hey!! Help me! I need to pee!"

The right guard approached Sylphy's cell and spoke, "Hold it! Lord Gon will be here soon."

Not accepting the answer, Sylphy responded with an annoyed face. "I can't hold it anymore! Do you want it to smell when Lord Gon arrives?"

Having no other choice and not wanting to disappoint Lord Gon, the guard agreed to Sylphy's request.

"Ggrrhhh... Fine, follow me."

The guard opened the iron cell door and walked to the right, followed by Sylphy from behind.

Kaizoku walked to the iron bars, watching Sylphy and the guard leave.

To prevent the other guard from noticing anything unusual, Kaizoku tried to divert the left guard's focus.

"Must be tiring, standing all the time?"

The guard answered while maintaining his stance.

"What do you know about me, human?"

"Huh? Aren't you human too?" Kaizoku replied.

The guard responded, "I'm not human, I'm a soul with physical form. Although I take the form of a human skeleton, but still I'm not human."

Kaizoku sat next to the iron bars.

"Eh... Is that so... This world is very strange, you know? Want to hear about it? Stories from another world? I mean, not the world outside the Underworld. A world that's completely new to you—would you like to hear about it?"

The guard's curiosity was strong, and he quickly said "Sure."
