Squeezed Dry

Richard was puzzled while he ran furiously. "What happened? Money is ineffective? Perhaps this cat doesn't like money?"

Another scream was heard coming from the entrance in front, which was guarded by a gigantic golden dragon. An apostle was standing too close to the dragon and was swallowed. The pupils of the dragon looked grimly at everyone and they shivered and felt a great sense of terror.

"Dragon?" Richard was depressed as he thought, "Another creature of the Headless Horseman?" He yelled, "Run! Run to the other side!"

A majority of the men fled in terror while a minority lost their minds and rushed screaming towards the golden dragon, who opened his mouth and breathed fire. The scalding flames shot out and incinerated the entire underground passage. It was purged clean of life.

Speedy ran in the front while his body emitted cold air. Behind him were Matcha's sinister laughs and screams of agony coming from the apostles.
