The man walked toward William and Matthew and waved his hand. With a single wave, Matthew collapsed to the ground.
"Done, he won't remember a thing," the man said. "Now it's your turn."
William knew he was no match for the man. Just by looking at him, he could tell the man was on an entirely different level.
In fact, William strongly suspected the man was one of the creators of the dungeon, if not the sole creator. They were even living in a modern house on one of the floors.
The man repeated the gesture on William. He also fell to the ground. It was as if a force was pinning him down, rendering him immobile.
William felt a sharp pain in his head, but his memories remained intact. The man couldn't erase them!
Matthew was unconscious, so William feigned unconsciousness as well.
The man snapped his fingers. William and Matthew vanished and reappeared on the beach. But it wasn't the island's beach; it was the beach near the city they had visited earlier!
