Chapter 71 - A Boy Trapped in Dream World — Season 8Part 4: The Numbers of Mercury World

The King of Magician puts on his mask and walks out of his room.

There, he begins training Lofi.

While training him, he says,

"Listen carefully, Lofi. You are my student now. The training that Vizard Ires gave you was nothing compared to what I will teach you. My training will be far more dangerous. Be prepared."

Lofi nods respectfully.

"Yes, King."

And the two begin training.

Meanwhile, Rony, Elvin, and Sires return home after exploring Mercury World.

As they walk back, Elvin keeps thinking.

Why are the people of Mercury World so different?

And why is Uncle Rony hiding something from us?

Later that night, after dinner, Elvin talks to Sires about it.

"Master, did you notice something strange about the people here? They seem different... almost unnatural. And Uncle Rony refuses to tell us anything."

Sires nods.

"You're right, Elvin."

Then he continues,

"But we must continue our training. We are not out of danger yet. The real enemy is still waiting."

Elvin replies,

"Yes, Master."

After that, both of them go to sleep.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Mercury World...

Rolex Oyster and Garlin are preparing for their attack on Elvin and Sires.

As they discuss their plans, Rolex Oyster asks,

"Garlin, what do those numbers written on the backs of people's heads mean?"

Garlin smiles slightly and replies,

"Those numbers represent how many people they have killed."

"If someone has the number 1, it means they have killed one person."

"If someone has the number 2, it means they have killed two people."

"The higher the number... the more people they have murdered."

Rolex Oyster listens carefully.

Garlin then continues,

"And when that number reaches 100..."

"...they transform into a Zombie Warrior."

"A creature so powerful that defeating it becomes nearly impossible."

Rolex Oyster's eyes narrow.

"I see..."

Garlin continues,

"To increase those numbers, the King of Magician constantly teleports weak humans from the Real World into Mercury World."

"They are forced into battles and slaughter."

"And with every death... the numbers continue to rise."

A sinister smile appears on Rolex Oyster's face.

Meanwhile, far away...

Elvin sleeps peacefully, completely unaware of the horrifying truth hidden within Mercury World.
