SHEN JI YUN landed on the deck of the ship like a weightless feather.  He looked forward and saw Luo Yan with Eclipse. 

"How was it?" Luo Yan quickly asked, walking towards him.

"Just like what Beelzebub just told us, the island is not visible to the naked eye," he started.  "But with the help of the special goggles he gave us, I was able to see the whole island."

It's like a thick fog was lifted from his eyes and the island appeared from the lens of the binocular he's holding.  Just like Luo Yan earlier, Shen Ji Yun also thought that the archdemon had really prepared everything for this task..  As in, everything that they might need.  Which was a good thing.  At least, things would be much easier for them.

Luo Yan nodded.  There were only two of those goggles.  Which was enough.  He and Shen Ji Yun could have one each.  Then, they could simply lead Eclipse and Dusk to the hidden entrance that Beelzebub had created. 

"It would probably be best if we could plant those Mana bombs tonight," he said.

They were the ones given by the archdemon when he asked about something that could destroy the island.  The other gave it so readily that Luo Yan felt that he probably had long wanted to use it. 

The archdemon said that it's best to plant the bombs the night before they sneaked into the island.  Because, according to him, it would have a stronger impact once they're activated if they did that.  He even marked the map, telling them where to bury the bombs. 

The marks he made on the map made a pattern – a pentagram inside a circle.  Luo Yan had a hunch that this was another method that Beelzebub made to make the effect of those Mana bombs much stronger. 

But there's a question that kept on lingering in his mind right after he saw those marks.  Why didn't the archdemon just buried those bombs himself?  Considering how long he had stayed in the body of that dark mage, surely, he had all the time in the world to do that.

One of the things he could think of was that the bombs wouldn't have the same effect if they were not planted the night or even a day before they were activated.  There's also a chance that it's because there's something on the island that could detect an item like a Mana bomb that's why the archdemon didn't plant them beforehand.  Or maybe he was simply programmed to wait for someone to do it for him. 

In any case, Luo Yan wondered what would the other do if he didn't ask him for something like those Mana bombs.  Would he plant it himself right after he returned to his original body?  That's probably the most likely scenario. 

But how could he agree on that?  In terms of people who had the right to take revenge on those dark mages, Eclipse should be at the top of the list.  How could he deprive the little fox of the chance to finally take revenge on the people who killed his parents?

"It would be better to do it later this evening," he added to what he said earlier.  "If Brother Ji Yun is not busy, we could go online later and do it."

It's already near dinner time.  So, he had to log out soon.  It would probably take an hour or two before he could log in again.

"No, it's okay.  Yan Yan could just rest tonight.  I can do it alone," Shen Ji Yun said, looking at him with a gentle gaze.

"Are you sure?  I'm not really that tired.  It's fine if I play again later," he said.

"We have been playing since this morning.  And tomorrow, I'm sure we had to play for a long time again.  At least, try to rest for tonight," Shen Ji Yun said, still trying to persuade him.  The worry in his eyes was very obvious.

Well, it's true that he had been in this game since early morning up to now - which was nearing six in the evening.  His only break was during lunch time.  If he logged in again later, his accumulated playing for today would exceed 10 hours. 

As long as there's an intermittent break in between, playing that long wasn't so bad.  It would only be bad if one exceeded playing six hours without taking a break.  But he understood Shen Ji Yun's worry.  He's probably just worried about his body.  After all, this must be the longest the two of them spent inside the game just doing a task. 

His accumulated playing time during the weekend only usually lasted for about six/seven hours.  This was the first time that he actually almost reached 10 hours.  And considering his still 'fragile' body, it's no wonder that Shen Ji Yun would worry.

But before he could answer, Eclipse had already beaten him to it.

"Captain, you sounded like a husband worrying about his wife," the little boy said while holding both his cheeks and looking at them with stars in his eyes.  "Oh no!  That's probably not the right analogy since you and Mashter are still not married.  Then, Eclipse should have probably said, Captain is worrying about his lover.  Right?"

Luo Yan was simply speechless.

While Shen Ji Yun's whole face had already turned bright red.  The words, 'husband', 'wife', 'marriage', and 'lover' kept echoing in his mind.  Then, his own silly thoughts started to wander along the lines of, 'is he and Yan Yan going to get married?'.

"Eclipse," Luo Yan called in a bit of helpless tone.  "Don't make trouble."

The little boy only turned to him in a confused manner, as if he couldn't understand why his master was telling him to not make trouble.

Luo Yan shook his head and just turned to Shen Ji Yun.  As expected, the other looked like a boiled shrimp because of how red his face was.  To save the other from embarrassment, he just brought the topic about the other taking care of planting the Mana bombs by himself.

"Brother Ji Yun, is it really alright to do all that on your own?"

Shen Ji Yun still hadn't return yet to his senses, so, he wasn't able to quickly respond.  Thankfully, someone else responded in his place.

"I'll go with him."

They all turned towards the source of the voice and saw Dusk.
