Arcana Mob

As soon as the delinquents set foot inside, flames erupted on the numerous torches packed tightly on the walls, all at the same time. It was a very eery scene, but thanks to that, the interior brightened up considerably.

"This.. this must be a trick, right?"

"Can we go home now?"

"Something's…. different about this place."

Some of the delinquents began to think that it was a mistake to set their food here. However, the delinquent leader cautiously studied their surroundings. The overall atmosphere of the place was similar to that of an old prison.

Iron bars or a solid metal front wall with a sliding door.

Cement walls.

Things written or carved into the walls and Bars with the paint worn off from hands gripping them.

For the delinquents who had visited the prison a few times, this was not a unique sight for them. However, Cade, who is supposed to be a kind and ordinary person, somehow found this place very familiar to him.

' Why do I feel like I have seen this place before? Wait.. don't tell me…'

A headache appeared out of nowhere and struck Cade's head. For some reason, Cade felt like he had just gotten through a big epiphany.

Cade, no matter how normal he looked actually hide the identity of a transmigrator. He was a person from our earth who after an unjust death under the hand of some people found himself transmigrated in the body of this Cade North.

Nonetheless, being a transmigrator didn't give Cade a lot of advantages before. The world had changed way too much from what he knew, rendering most of his knowledge useless.

But here, Cade suddenly found a realization. The more he looked at it, the more he found this place similar to what he remembered in his memory.

The question is.. why was this place here? Unless….

Cade now got a really bad feeling. This kind of realization, he would have hoped that he had realized this sooner.

Walking deeper into the prison, several more delinquents shrunk back and shuddered slightly.

"it's a bit creepy in here, isn't it?"

"Why does it feel like we are being watched?"

" Humph, cowards…"

The Delinquents leader looks at his cowering subordinate with a sneer. In his mind, he had decided that he would kick them out of the group after this, as now was not the right time to create an internal conflict.

Leaving behind the scared delinquents, the delinquent leader alongside three other members, went in deeper.

"Faster, the faster we solve that guy, the faster we would be able to leave this place."

"Yeah.. let's end this quickly and go home."

The more they walked inside, the more they realized that the interior was nonsensically huge.

But then, the delinquent leader saw Cade, and a sneer grew on his face.

"By the way, Mr. School Number one, why don't you use your Arcane card to lit up this place. Isn't it the right time for you to show your power?"

" Pftt… boss, aren't you too cruel? His Arcane Card is just too weak. And let's not mention illuminating this whole place. It was way too dim to even be used as a nightlamp."

Along with that words, waves of laughter full of mocking filled the space as they laughed at Cade. The delinquent leader was able to successfully light up the tension a bit by using Cade.

And as for Cade, he didn't really care.

They could sneer and mock all they wanted. As long as they didn't beat him up, he was pretty much fine.

His focus was now on this prison-like space. If he was not wrong, this place might be the key to turning his life around.

In the deepest part of the prison, there was a chamber shaped like a giant dome. It was about as large as a stadium that Barcelona used to hold its home match.

However, one couldn't help but shudder when they reached the chamber.

The reason for that was rather apparent.

"What the heck is that…."

"N-no freaking way that thing is real, right?"

In the middle of the dome, two huge things so logic-defyingly humongous stood tall in front of everyone's eyes.

Everyone was in a panic as they saw that huge thing.

But among the group, Cade somehow was able to keep his composure. There was this strange feeling that he got since he entered this place. And now, after seeing this thing, he was more certain with his conjecture.

" Guillotine…"

The murmur escaped from Cade's mouth. The voice was so small that it shouldn't be heard even by the delinquent that stood closest to Cade.

But for some reason, it seemed that it had been heard by a certain somebody.

" Oho? There is still someone who recognizes this thing, huh?"

" !!!!!! "

Everyone was certainly shocked by the sudden appearance of this voice. Everything that happened here was just way too strange, at it was inevitable that they felt scared.

But the scariest thing was the pressure that was emitted by that voice. It felt like a chill had gone through their spines.

All the delinquents who were scared shitless one by one began to summon their Arcane Card.

Glows surrounded their body, and a wide variety of different creatures appeared.

From Crocodile, Iron Pig, An Old man with a stick, or even a rabbit.

Among all the delinquents here, the one that took the most attention was the Arcane Card of the Delinquent leader which was a Bengal White Tiger with Rank (III).

The Bengal White Tiger gave an imposing roar as it stood confidently in front of the Delinquent leader. Just like its owner, it had a very high pride.

However, the imposing roar immediately turned into a whimper when the voice revealed itself.

" Little cat, how about you stay quiet a bit?"

Hearing the sound, it seemed the Tiger was meeting an even bigger predator; the Tiger's head stayed lowered, and he assumed the position of kneeling and begging for mercy. Its entire body trembled even harder.

'What the heck is this...'

The delinquent leader was obviously confused with what was happening to his arcane card as it was his first time seeing the White Bengal Tiger being like this.

And it was not only the delinquent leader. Even Cade picked up on this strange but ominous sensation now. After the words where he asked everyone to stay silent, the world was eerily quiet. So much so that it felt just too bizarre.

'No sounds….?'

Even the sounds of the flames burning on the torches could not be heard anymore.

- Welcome to your prison cell. You were asked to love. You were asked to remain meek. You were asked to protect the weak and be chivalrous. What you did was a hunt with the glee of a demon pack. So, take a look around you. If you can't see the walls closing in, you soon will. -

"Well, good day, everyone. My name is Grigory, and I welcome you to my humble abode."

Along with the voice, a figure revealed itself from the dark.

He has the appearance of a tall man with a mask with a question mark pattern on his face. On his body was a black suit, white gloves, black socks, and black shoes.

No one really pointed it out, but he looked like a weirdo from a horror movie.

But the quiet atmosphere didn't stay for that long.

It was because, after the appearance of the man that called himself Grigory, something happened.

One of the delinquents tried to run, but it was then..

*Splash!*

The area above the delinquent's neck suddenly vanished. The headless body powerlessly collapsed to the ground.

Everyone's eyes widened in horror, but even in this situation, only the chuckles of Grigory could be heard.

" Ah.. sorry, I slipped. But everyone please, in this place, there is only one rule. And that is….."

" I am the rule!"
