Hitori's case was a no-brainer. Although it took both Hitori and Kamiya's strength to beat the Fire Phoenix on their first try, it was different this time. Both Hitori and Kamiya had leveled up a lot since that time.

Neither can Kamiya nor could Reon leave the courtyard and go help Hitori while he fights the male Fierce. Kamiya had to trust Hitori with this.

Something even more dangerous than the male Fierce was heading towards them. An army of fifteen men and five monsters was marching out of the Wendigo checkpoint.

Kamiya checked the point and saw nothing but a torn-up Wendigo and not a single player around the Wendigo checkpoint.

"It took me and Hitori-san almost everything to beat that monster," Reon mumbled, "but Kuzu killed it in a flash. Clearly not a problem of manpower."

"Ye---" He stopped when he saw a wave of fifteen men and five monsters entering the courtyard.

Kamiya sprung out of his seat. His eyes searched for a blonde man but he could not find Kuzu in the crowd. The monsters charged forward, they ran while long-range players took their position.

Reon jumped out of her seat. "K-Kamiya!" and pulled out her gun.

Without thinking twice, Reon pulled the trigger and shot down an ogre. The head, she recalled from her last encounter with the undead ogres.

Kamiya hesitated but when he did not see a sign of Kuzu and as the monsters were getting closer real quick, Kamiya lifted his wand.

"Electrify!" Bolts of electricity pierced an Ogre's head. It knocked on the ground and blood spilled out.

Reon killed three Ogres and Kamiya killed two. The monsters' wave ended but yet none of the players made a move.

Then suddenly. "Attack!" A familiar voice shot up from behind-- from the dark.

"Argh!!"

"Get them!"

Kuzu's wave advanced forward, they increased their pace. Kamiya jerked himself back into his throne. "Buy me some time." Kamiya pulled the control panel in front of him.

His hands ran through the screen as if he was messing up with the screen but Reon trusted him. She aimed her gun at the other players and started an open fire, recklessly.

Kamiya found what he was looking for and he pressed the option: Pontianak's Call.

Kamiya lifted his head and grabbed Reon's lab coat from behind. "And help me," he said, his voice fading.

Reon frowned. Kamiya struggled but soon collapsed on the ground. His hand was on the dry mud before they reached his ears.

Although Reon could not hear it, a sweet female's voice filled the room. Reon moved away from Kamiya and focused back on her enemy when she realized that they had pulled their weapons down.

Reon frowned once again. She walked past, her gun still aiming at the opponents. She took a glance at the control panel.

Her frown disappeared. "Oh." She relaxed and dropped her gun. She could not listen to the voice and even if she did, she would not be attracted to the men in front of her.

What men? Even Kamiya (who owns the dungeon in a way) struggled to keep himself collected and ignore Pontianak's sweet voice. He knew there was no running away from Pontianak's voice.

The players who had put their weapons down soon marched towards a portal that had appeared beneath Throne Hill. As if they were zombies who were following the slightest disturbance of sound, as if they were mindless robots who were following their master's orders, the players walked through the portal.

They disappeared into the hospital room, Kamiya got up to leave too when Reon noticed him. She pulled her gun back, pulled Kamiya off the ground, and smacked him across the face, "Snap out of it, Kamiya." Reon slapped him a few more times.

"Ouch." It was ignored. "ah-- I-- I am fine---" she slapped again. "Re--Reon-san!" Kamiya grabbed her hand in his. "I--I am fine. Thanks."

"Thank god." She let out a sigh of relief.

Kamiya used his throne as a support to stand up and take a seat. He looked at the control panel. "The players..."

Reon joined him and took a look inside the Hospital room. "She will take care of them," Reon said.

Kamiya nodded. "Now all that is left is Kuzu..." Kamiya added. "Where is he though?" Kamiya shifted the view and spotted Uragi, walking into the courtyard.

Reon gulped. She raised her gun, moved her finger on the trigger, and gave Uragi an intense stare. Kamiya glanced at her and noticed her trembling hands.

But Kamiya did not fear whoever the heck Uragi was. He sat and watched as Uragi walked near Throne Hill.

Kamiya sighed and he leaned back. "Alone? Do you have a death wish?" Kamiya knew Reon was still not used to this. "Reon-san, get a bullet in his head." Reon hesitated. "It is not the time to hesitate, hurry?." Kamiya glanced up at Reon. She did not move her eyes away from Uragi but she did not pull the trigger either.

Uragi chuckled. "Fire it, Reon-san, come on, shoot!" Uragi pulled his sword out.

Kamiya clicked his tongue. "Enough, Reon-san!" He shouted. "We can not win... if you are scared to shoot." Kamiya got up from his throne.

His hand slid right into his side to grab a thick wooden end. Kamiya's fingers wrapped around his wand. "We need to face our fears."

Kamiya pulled his wand and opened his mouth. "Bakuhat---" his teeth climbed on his tongue. He had to put a brake on his words.

Uragi laughed, "Fire! Shoot me!"

Kamiya took a step back. The Audience's faces went pale, they did not wish for this to happen. People from the crowd gulped.

"He--He is here..."

"Oh shit, what now?"

"Fuck, their boss is here."

"Man... he is no joke. He took my dungeon in a flash."

"His men are what makes him stronger---"

"Dumbass! He alone is capable of destroying your whole territory!"

Uragi spread his arms, and Kuzu along with his four men appeared from the dark. Their faces came into view.

​ Swing.

Two short blades swung out from Kuzu's sleeves of the black assassin's jacket. Those two blades shone under the courtyard's faint light.

Kamiya stumbled, he was about to sit back on his throne. Reon gulped but stood straight. She knew how intimidating Kuzu was for Kamiya. "Kamiya," she said, "sometimes... we need to beat our fears."

Kamiya's hand banged his throne's handrest. His butt was centimeters away from touching his seat when he brought it to a sudden stop. Kamiya's veins popped as he pushed against the handrest.

The five men in front of them were Kuzu's best men. Reon was sure of it, she saw the weapons she had only seen in movies, and heard about them from her Professors. Her eyes widened but she tried not to be too shocked, a man was wielding a forbidden scientific weapon that had been banned by the Scientists. She was not sure how he got his hands on that weapon in the game.

Reon was not aware of that weapon as very little was known about it, it looked like a gun of some sort but definitely not a gun, Reon had only seen it in a book about 'Banned Weapons'.

Kuzu's hood was down. But even if his hood was on and his eyes would not be visible, his yellow bangs would pop out.

"Yeah..." Kamiya grunted, he pulled himself to his feet.

Kamiya raised his eyes. Kuzu looked straight into Kamiya's eyes as he took angry steps.

"Kamiya," Kuzu grunted, he grabbed his hood and covered his head with a flip of his hood.

Kamiya's wand did not bend but he took a step back. On noticing it, Reon took a step closer to Kamiya.

Kuzu shouted, "Attack!" Bullets and blades and some kind of ray were deflected by a defense shield.

Reon fired in anger. Her bullets swung all around the courtyard till she killed a monster.

She came closer to him when Kuzu's men charged. "Run," She whispered, "RUN! Kamiya, Run!" She pulled her gun down.

Kamiya's eyes widened. He could not believe his ears. Reon was telling him to run? Has she got used to sacrificing herself or what?

Reon told him, "Take Kuzu to the Clone Dungeon with you. And do not come out till he is defeated." Reon's head trembled as she spoke.

Kamiya glanced at her for the last time. "Stay alive," he said, as he jerked around and left the Pontianak lair.

"Do not let him get away," Kuzu told his mate. Kuzu took a long step forward, then he started running.

Kuzu went past Uragi and Uragi followed Kuzu. Reon gripped her gun and recalled Kamiya's words. "As if I can fight a Karate Master."

Reon pulled some kind of tube from her inventory and took it behind her back. She grabbed an opaque tube. "To die in the same Lair twice…" Reon pulled her hand when Kuzu approached her. She was about to throw the tube at Kuzu but did not when he ran past her.

Her mouth dropped, and she was dumbfounded along with Uragi who came to a stop. What the? They both thought.

Uragi shouted, "Hey! Where are you going?!"

Reon jerked her head around and stared at Kuzu as he ran past her, behind Kamiya who had already teleported.

"Oye! Kuzu, bring your ass here!"

Uragi's shout finally annoyed the hell out of Kuzu. As he ran, he lifted his middle finger above his head. "I don't care about that girl."

Uragi bit his lip. "Fucker," he muttered under his breath. "I should have known..." Uragi regretted it.

Reon was confused but then she remembered what Kuzu had said at the start of the match: I am going to kill him.

A smile formed on Reon's face, a smile of relief. She does not have to fight with Uragi and Kuzu at the same time. All she has to deal with right now is Uragi.

Her hair fell on her eyes as she turned around. Uragi clicked his tongue and pulled his greatsword in front of him.

Reon glared at Uragi. "I need to defeat my fears." She pulled her gun.

Uragi was not more than ten feet away from her. The only advantage she had was the Altitude Advantage-- the most important advantage in a gunfight.

Uragi took a step back. "I had to deal with her anyway," Uragi muttered.

As soon as he took a step forward, Reon jerked her left hand and threw the tube she was holding at Uragi.

Uragi jumped away to dodge the tube, he did. He started down at the tube as some sort of gas started coming out from the cracked tube.

A frown formed on Uragi's face. Uragi glanced at Reon who had already taken cover behind her throne. When he felt something wrong with his breathing, he realized he should not have inhaled the gas.

Fuck. Uragi brought his hand to cover his nose, turned around, and ran to take cover behind the courtyard's wall.

Reon took a glance behind her. "I guess stupid scientists exist." She took a deep breath when she heard Uragi coughing for his life. "You are dead anyway."

She came out from her hiding spot and reached out to Kamiya's control panel. Reon saw a cold room where ten men were glancing around like idiots.

"I do not need them." She moved her hand on the control panel.

Whenever anyone listens to Pontianak's sweet call, they get attracted to her. That is what had happened previously with Uragi's man, and that was exactly what was going to happen with Kamiya if it was not for Reon.

Things do not end here. After you are attracted to Pontianak, you become her possession. She will make you fight to protect her or she will kill you for her dinner, she will control you however she wants.

'But...' Reon thought '... at some point, what if they managed to break out of this hypnosis?'

Yeah, what if something like this happens?: They fight with each other to become Pontianak's fav. Or what if they collide into each other while walking, they might snap out of the hypnosis as the beating is what it takes?

Reon wanted to take no risk. She pulled her tube and clicked on the 'Insert a Chemical Weapon' option.

She threw five of the Phosgene gas tubes into a slot that appeared on the control panel. 'I should gas them before they snap out.' That was Reon's plan.
