After a long day Cinister goes back to the inn and he lays on the nice, comfotable, warm bed.
After a long nap Cinister wakes up to Ragna and Alya who already packed their things and are ready to go.
"Huh?" Cinister mutters "Are we going to the next floor"
"Yeah we need to go to floor 20 because I heard there is going to be a mini event" Alya said
"What event?" Cinister asks
"I don't know but what I do know is that the next floor is going to be our first multi-continental room" Alya explained "Isn't that exciting"
"Wait for real?" Ragna chimmes in "You didn't tell me that"
"Hush let's just go" Alya said "And you pack your bags"
"Don't rush me" Cinister replied as he packed his bags
The 3 of them set out to the stairs to the next floor but something blocked them. It was a huge scary-looking black Dragon.
"Who dares to challange me" The Dragon said in a cold, monotoned voice
"Nah we just want to go to the next floor" Cinister voiced
"Why should I let you pass through, huh?" the Dragon lowered it's head to match their height
"Because I need to catch up to Allen and his group" Cinister answered
"A-Allen?! The Red Emperor?" The Dragon asked with a scared voice
"What, did he beat your ass?" Ragna chimmed in
"Well, it was really one-sided" The Dragon answered as he looked down
"So can we go to the next floor" Alya asked the monster
"Sure go on ahead just please tell Allen to leave me alone" The Dragon pleaded
"Don't worry I will destroy him" Cinister said as they went to the next floor
As The Fangra climbed the stairs the blinding light blocked their view for a few seconds. But after their eyes adjust to the light they see a huge Circus covered in blue and red repeated stripes with a massive entrance.
"Is that a Circus?" Alya asks
"Yeah it is but it's like the size of 2 Europe's" Cinister replied
"Should we go in?" Ragna asks
"We don't have a choice so let's roll" Cinister said
The party started heading towards the Circus but with every step they felt their bodies getting weaker and heavier and before they noticed all of them passed out infront of the entrance of the Circus.
After a couple of hours Ragna wakes up tied up with Cinister and Alya in a really dark room. He tried to wiggle out of the ropes but to no avail so he decided to try waking up the others.
"Cinister! Alya! Are you guys good?" He shouted but none of them answered
"Dammit" He mutters under his nose.
Then a mysterious light was shun down on them revealing that the party was standing on a platform of a Dunk Tank. Ragna panicked and look down to see instead of water it was lava and spikes ready to kill them on contact.
"What the f*ck!" Ragna shouts as he looks ahead to see a couple of freakish tall clowns with water ballons.
"Are you ready brother to kill some more people" One of the clown asks the other
"Of course brother" replied the other clown as he threw the ballon missing the target "Your turn brother"
"Okay!" the clown smiles as he also misses the mark by a centimeter "Aw shucks, almost hit it"
Ragna panicks as he tries to cast a spell but it was futile since he didn't have his weapon
."Why can't I use any spells!" Ragna thinks in his head while brainstorming other ideas to escape this nightmare
As the clowns keep missing the target, Ragna finally comes up with an idea that might work. He stands up and with all of his might he jumps to land on the edge of the Dunk Tank.
"Let's go!" Ragna celebrates but because of the enormous amount of kinetic energy Ragna can't balance himself on the edge of the Tank. He pluments foward so they fall onto the ground instead of the lava. The two clowns became angry that Ragna was able to escape their trap so they followed him behind the Tank but when they checked it they only found Cinister and Alya in the loose rope.
"Where did he go brother" one of the clowns asks
"I don't kno-" the other clown get interupted by a noise in the sky. As he looks up he saw Ragna falling above him
"Take this" Ragna said as he sucker punched the clown in the face, dropping him on the ground instatly
"Brother!" The other clown shouted as he hit Ragna off the first clown "Are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine" The Clown said as he wipped some blood off his face "Unfortunately for him we have hostages"
The clown turns back but Cinister and Alya aren't there anymore
"What the? I could have sworn they were right there" The Clown said
"Well yeah if I hadn't woken up" Cinister replies as he shot a [Fire Gun] 200% sending him flying
"How are you using Nexus without a weapon!" The Clown asks with anger in his eyes
"Because I'm part of the Brimstone royal family" Cinister said
"Brimstone family? Weren't they killed in the Christmas event!" the other clown asks
"Shut up you stupid clown" Cinister said as he casted [Fire Knife]
"Noo please don't hurt us" the clown said with a scared voice "Is that what you wanted me to say"
He smiles as he cast [Ban] which let's the user ban one Nexus per day. Cinster's spell vanishes as the first clown grabs his legs and throws him at the Tank.
"Mages without their Nexus are practically useless" He said trying to anger Cinister.
Ragna regroups with Cinister and asks "Where is Alya?"
"She's fine I hid her" Cinister said "But what are we going to do about this clowns"
"I don't know" Ragna asnwers "What I do know is that without my weapon, victory isn't guaranteed"
"Do you have my back though?" Cinister asked
"Is grass green?" Ragna replied
"I never had any doubt" Cinister voiced
