Inventors system - Chapter 39: Labyrinth 2

Morana’s POV

Even though my eyes were closed I was awake the whole time.

[Master wake up…Mas…ter wake …. Up.]

‘What is it?’

[Master good thing you woke up. Seems like someone died just now, Samael said he was eaten.]

‘So?’ Ahh, sometimes it’s really hard to believe that I created this idiot.

[Master things are getting danger… I mean interesting, I thought that master would like to watch the s… I mean give wise advice.]

Nope, definitely not mine.

“What the hell is going on? What do you mean he was eaten?” I heard my brother’s voice and I decided to open my eyes.

Nope, still blind I thought to myself.

“Long story short he ended up in a place similar to sewer and something in the waster ate him.” I heard Samael’s nonchalant voice.

A few seconds later we heard another sound and everyone quickly forgot about the dead guy.

***

Somewhere in the labyrinth a buff guy with fiery orange hair and Sky-blue eyes was standing in the middle of a bunch of ant corpses as he looked at the biggest queen ant.

“Shit Just die already you freaking insect.” Screamed Emir as he dashed towards the and queen and cut off two more legs resulting in another scream from the ant.

Just as he was about to cut off another leg, his sword was restricted by the ant’s two front legs while the third leg went right through his abdomen.

“Shit.” He cursed as the ant threw him away like a rag doll.

After rolling a few times he was able to finally stop and get up on his legs while holding his abdomen.

His organs were visible through the hole as the blood gushed out and the next second Emir took out a green potion and drank it without a second thought.

In a second his wound started to heal at a visible speed and soon his complexion became better.

“Hey ugly.” He screamed at the ant. “You look just like my grandma, you know.” At his words the ant tilted her head in confusion.

“She has been dead over 100 years, Muahahaha.”

‘This guy is an embarrassment to the black humor.’ Was the thought of everyone watching Emir on the screen.

Well, everyone except Morana of course.

“Haha.” Laughed Morana as she drew everyone’s attention. “Finally there is someone funny, this guy is freaking hilarious.”

She said as she munched on popcorn that she took out god knows when.

She was the only person in the whole Dream city who could still laugh in this situation as she ate her popcorn and enjoyed herself like she was watching a great movie, well more like hearing it.

‘My poor baby, her world views have been distorted because of the way she grew up.

No…

As a big brother I must take responsibility and teach her well in the future.” Well, lets just say delusional thinking was inherent in this family.

And just as brother and sister were immersed in their own world Emir once again started close combat with the ant queen.

He coated his whole body as well as his sword in lightning and charged at the ant.

“Die, you freak.” He screamed as he dodged the ant’s fire attack as well as his legs and decapitated the queen in seconds.

Just as Emir set down on the ground from tiredness, he noticed that one of the stones in his bracelet had a crack.

He didn’t say anything, just stood up after 2 minutes and continued on his journey.

He wasn’t delusional, he might have a fiery temper, but he understood what kind of shit they were in.

He knew people were going to die left and right and he was not some hero planning on saving others when he couldn’t even guarantee his own life.

He knew that since one of them was dead someone else would have to do the deed and that someone might even be him so he had no time to laze around here if he wanted to survive.

Somewhere else in the labyrinth a well-built and tall, handsome boy with black hair and gray eyes was running with the speed barely visible to the eye.

A second later he noticed something and stopped, looking at his hand.

“Seems like one is dead.” He said with a sigh. “I need to hurry.” And just as he finished his monologue he started running once again.

Shio, One of Zoel’s confidants. His best friend since childhood and third young master of the Monet family. Full name Shio Amaris La Monet.

The Monet family was one of the 12 great families of the high realm, an elven royalty best known for their speed and nature-related magic, as well as weapons mastery.

Zoel and Shio were not only childhood friends, they were also relatives as Shio’s mother Morgana was Zoel’s aunt and Leonie’s older sister.

Morgana was well known in the high realm not only for her strength but also for being one of the last people who had witch powers and she was known as Morgana Blackfire.

The key word is, was known as Morngana disappeared years ago with her second son who at that time was just 3 years old leaving behind newborn Shio, her first son as well as a daughter.

But more about her later now let’s get back to Shio.

After running for a while Shio finally managed to see light at the end of a tunnel and he knew that he had to get ready for a fight.

He didn’t slow down but his vigilance went to maximum as his eyes were blinded by the light and the next second Shio found himself on a clearing.

Different flowers grew there, the sun was shining and everything looked so peaceful, like in a dream.

This caught him off guard, he was ready for the fight of his life, ready for any monster that might pop up but, never did it occur to him that he would run into some kind of paradise.

And the next second he felt shadow cover everything as he felt presence from above and Shio looked up.

His face changed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“You’ve got to be kidding me.”
