"Time waits for no one. Let's go to the haunted house now." Luigi looked at Angel.
Angel naturally did not refuse, but Babaregon was quite puzzled and asked curiously, "You said you're pressed for time because you have to attend Crystal City's gathering. Then why not attend the gathering first, and come to the haunted house afterward?"
That way, time would not be so tight.
Luigi said, "There's definitely a reason... but it's a long story. I'll tell you when I come out, when I have time. Or you can come to the gathering with us, and we can talk as we walk."
Babaregon turned aside his main head and two auxiliary heads, snorting coldly. "I'm not going."
Luigi shrugged. "Go or don't go, it's up to you. If you go, I'll tell you along the way. If you don't, I'll tell you next time I come. For now, activate the haunted house first."
Babaregon let out a huff, its main head muttering in a childish voice, "You're clearly the one asking me for help, yet you're giving me orders. Hmph. Besides, it's not like you can't activate the haunted house yourself. You insist on making me do it, wasting my Aggregation Energy..."
Though it muttered, its movements did not stop. Babaregon's right auxiliary head suddenly awoke from slumber, raising its triangular thief's head as its eyes projected a beam of light brimming with the aura of Aggregation Energy.
Once the beam entered the crystal, the crystal slowly rose amid flickering light and rapidly expanded. Before long, it had grown to three meters long and three meters wide.
"That should do." Babaregon murmured, withdrawing the beam.
As the beam was withdrawn, the crystal stopped flickering and froze completely in midair. At the same time, a crack appeared across the surface
