After the statue pulled the bowstring, sothing surprising happened to them, from their perspective, a kind of energy ford in front of the bow, and they imdiately saw the energy forming an arrow.
"..."
Seeing this, for so reason none of them could move, either because they were afraid or because they had given up.
Even though Marzuki didn't do anything, a mont later, the statue imdiately released the bowstring.
*Swoosh!!*
A shrill sound was heard as the arrow flew.
*BOOM!!*
A huge explosion, even larger than the explosion of an M67 grenade, was heard.
Marzuki and Lukas then looked in the direction where the explosion occurred, and there they saw several bodies lying lifeless, but even with the explosion, the walls and floor of the hall did not receive the slightest damage.
"... Run... RUN!!!"
Lukas shouted, then suddenly stood up and ran who knows where, but his actions seed to be a mistake because the statue pointed its bow towards Lukas.
"!!!"
Seeing this, Lukas panicked even more and then ran faster, but the statue followed Lukas' every move.
But no matter how fast Luke ran, the arrow from the statue was faster.
"NOOO!! HELP !!!"
Lukas shouted as he looked at the arrow that was flying towards him.
*BOOM!!*
Another explosion occurred after the arrow hit Lukas, and after the explosion was over, all that was left was Lukas's body remains.
With Lukas' death, panicked screams began to be heard again, and so people also started running here and there, which was a fatal mistake.
Marzuki, who saw this, did not say anything or remind them like he did before; he looked at the remaining six mbers of his team and then said.
"Don't do anything, don't do any excessive movent, just stay still and close your eyes, just pretend the screams around are nothing, the rest... let's leave it to our luck"
Marzuki said and then closed his eyes, and the soldiers who heard what their captain said, imdiately followed his orders, closed their eyes, and so even covered their ears.
Marzuki, who closed his eyes while imagining the faces of his two loved ones, made his heart a little calr, the explosions and the sounds of panicked screams and pain around him seed to be gone but were replaced by the sound of whispers of love from his wife and the sound of laughter from his child, in his mind, everything seed calm.
'If being Ignorance was the answer, then I would ignore people I don't know, I'm not a person who is full of curiosity, if God really exists, then I leave everything to HIM'
Marzuki thought, and sure enough, even though it seed absurd, no arrows were pointing at him or the six remaining mbers of his squad.
Amid the panic and tense atmosphere, where blood was splattered everywhere and body parts were lying and thrown everywhere, Marzuki and his Squad mbers were an oddity, because they remained calm even though they were shaking a little. Explosions were heard from their left and right, but none were directly aid at them.
Blood splattered towards them, hitting their faces and staining their clothes, there were even pieces of body parts thrown towards them because of the explosion. So were able to hold it in, but there were so who wanted to vomit but held it in because the fear they felt was stronger than the nausea they felt; so of them even shed tears.
The thick sll of blood entered their noses which made them tremble even more, the thought that the next attack would be directed at them couldn't get out of their minds, but Marzuki's order stopped them from doing anything, because it was always like that, every ti they followed their captain's words, they were always able to do the difficult things they were doing, so it was now, they hoped that the sa situation would happen in the crisis they were currently experiencing.
The mont they closed their eyes, ti seed to move very slowly, screams of pain and cries for help could be heard clearly in their ears as if it was heard just a few inches from their ears.
And so on, the sound of screaming, then the sound of explosions, this continued to repeat itself who knows how many tis, but for them, it seed like forever.
Slowly, the screams began to subside, and the explosions were no longer as intense as before, and after a while, the screams and explosions were no longer heard.
Marzuki, who felt that sothing had happened, slowly opened his eyes, not only him, but the six mbers of his team also opened their eyes.
What they saw after opening their eyes was sothing that was difficult to explain with human common sense, blood pooled on the floor, and body parts, whether it was hands, feet, stomachs, or heads, all incomplete, were lying on the floor, those who wanted to vomit could no longer hold it in and imdiately vomited all the contents of their stomachs, and the others just turned their gazes away from the horrific sight.
Marzuki, who was still able to endure all of this, looked around him. His eyes fell on the three people who were still alive, but each of them had lost their limbs; so had lost their legs and hands, and the last one was even worse; he lost both his legs.
Marzuki slowly walked towards them while trying to ignore the blood he was stepping on and the body parts lying around him.
The person closest to him was the person who had lost both of his legs. Coming to the person's side, Marzuki crouched down and saw that the person was still breathing. He asked.
"... Is there anything I can do for you?"
The lying person looked at Marzuki with gasping breaths like soone who was having difficulty catching his breath, he said.
"... P-please... End... My... Suffering"
Hearing that, Marzuki just closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"... Alright, if that is your last request, then I will grant it...
Marzuki said then took the dagger hidden behind his pants, and then placed the tip of the dagger right above his heart.
... May you rest in peace"
Said Marzuki, who then closed both his eyes and pushed the dagger hard into the person's heart; he did it as fast as possible so that the person would not feel too much pain.
With blood coming out of the person's mouth along with the stabbing of his heart, the person breathed his last.
Marzuki opened his eyes again and saw that the person's eyes were still wide open; he pulled his dagger out of the person's chest and then wiped the person's face, which made both of his eyes close.
Marzuki took another deep breath and then stood up; he looked at his team mber, who seed to still be able to walk and then called out to him.
"Ilham... Go with your partner who can still stand to help the two people who are still alive, and do so basic first aid... I want to go see sothing"
"... Yes, sir"
Said one of the soldiers, then called his two friends who were still standing to go help the two people who were still alive.
anwhile, Marzuki looked at the statue, which had returned to its original posture, and then he thought to himself.
'... So the Condition is for us until only ten are left alive... I don't know what the person who created this was thinking when creating this... "He who wants freedom"... what kind of creature is he?'
With that in mind, Marzuki approached the statue.
There was no fear in Marzuki's heart. However, there were many questions: how could they get out of here? What if they couldn't get out? What would happen to them? Those questions kept repeating themselves in his head, without realizing it, he had arrived in front of the stone inscription held by the statue.
Marzuki did not recognize anything from the letters on the inscription; the place where Marzuki was standing was not far from the place where the heads of the researchers from the United States and Chile died. Looking at that place, Marzuki's eyes fell on two notebooks full of blood.
Seeing the notebook, Marzuki rembered the notes Agus had given him. The notes from Agus seed incomplete, so Marzuki imdiately approached the notebook and took both notebooks.
Marzuki then looked for the page where the last note was, and sure enough, Marzuki found another translation of the book's inscription which was different from what was in Agus' book.
"... When the conditions are t, he who wants to know will surely know..."
Marzuki read the first sentence on the notebook page, but he didn't understand at all what the words ant.
But before he could read the next sentence, Marzuki heard one of his team mbers shouting his na.
"SIR!!!"
Hearing that, Marzuki then turned towards the team mber and saw him pointing above him.
Seeing this, Marzuki hurriedly looked up, worried that the statue would move again, but it wasn't the statue that moved, but the magic circle above the statue's head.
The magic circle rotates, and then spreads to the carvings on the wall, as if it were alive, even complete with sounds just like when a war is going on, the longer the magic circle rotates the faster it rotates, and all the carvings on the wall are sucked into the magic circle, when all the carvings on the wall have been sucked up by the circle, a bright light that can blind the eyes appears, this makes Marzuki and the others unable to see anything.
A mont after that, they all lost consciousness.
Little did he know that all this was the beginning, the beginning of a long story, especially for Marzuki.
