Inventors system - Chapter 41: Labyrinth 4

10 minutes went by and everyone couldn’t take their eyes off of the screen, as the cold seat wetted their clothes.

The only exceptions Morana and Samael were quite eye-catching in this bunch and successfully managed to draw Zeki’s attention.

Finally, he couldn’t help but ask

“Aren’t you worried about your teammate? If she dies, it will be hard for you to pass this game.”

Hearing his question Morana didn’t bother to answer and just looked at Zeki as if observing him. Her dead eyes sent shivers down his spine.

“She’ll be fine.” And just as her words fell Sara finished her preparations and opened her eyes. Dark purple veins could be seen all around her skin especially her hands and face.

“She’s about to attack.” Said Zoel and everyone became more tense.

Spirit attack was not visible for the eye, so it made things that much straining. After about 3 minutes Sara coughed blood, then sometime later blood started dripping from her nose, eyes, ears after about 10 minutes later her clothes were soaked in blood and she was on her knees and just as everyone thought it was over Golems crumbled simultaneously and disappeared like they were never there.

Watching this the group could finally breathe out with relief.

“She did it.” Muttered Sophia with disbelief. As someone who had a spirit-type affinity herself, she understood how incredible it was what Sara did.

While Shio was busy assassinating the birds and Sara was conjuring her attack another person in the labyrinth stayed overlooked until Ron remembered him and decided to check on him only to be caught off guard.

He was so surprised by what he saw that he started coughing and almost choked to death.

Sensing his strange behavior others also looked at him and when finding out the reason they all had the same thought including Zeki.

‘What the Fu*k.’

What everyone saw was emir sitting on a giant goat-like beast with red fur and black eyes and screaming things like…

“Hahahahaha, I am the king of this land.”

Or

“Bow down before your king you peasants, Buwahahahaha…”

Or acting out scenes like

“Tornado my friend, we lost all our troops, but we will not bow down to the enemy. We shall fight to the death, thank you for accompanying me all these years my friend.

Everyone didn’t know what to say.

“Did he go insane?” Asked Cliff only to be proven wrong the very next second.

“Ahh. That’s enough playing around, Tornado let’s go, we need to hurry up.”

At this moment everyone could not help but have the very same thought.

‘Who the fu*k is this guy?

Where did he get this goat?

What the hell was going on?’

Even Zeki was speechless and petrified.

‘What the hell is wrong with this group? All of them are crazier than the previous. Ahh, I just want to go home already.’

Even though he managed to keep his poker face on inside he felt like crying.

Surprisingly they didn’t meet any more monsters on the way, well more like no monster wanted to meet them anymore so all three managed to arrive at the destination quite quickly.

The destination was a very large hall with a tall ceiling.

There were four altars in each corner of the hall.

First to arrive was Shio, when he saw the hall he knew he had arrived and started to check for any hidden traps vigilantly but after not finding anything he relaxed a bit.

Soon Sara also came into the sight, her clothes were still soaked in blood drawing Shio’s attention.

“What happened to you?”

Sara sighed with exhaustion “Long story.”

Shio didn’t ask anything more, as his attention was diverted by the shaking ground. Sara also felt it and became vigilant.

About two minutes later they saw Emir sitting on the goat and had the same reaction as the rest of the group.

But compared to what others saw Emir acted with a big brother dignity in front of the rest unaware that he was already exposed.

“Where did you get this goat?” Finally, Sara couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked.

“I met Tornado on the way here. He was bullied by his brothers and sisters and I saved him. Since then he admired me and in order to repay my kindness he decided to follow me.” Said Emir.

‘I don’t know what happened but that definitely was not it.’ Was everyone’s thought except…

“Ohh, big brother Emir you are so cool.” Said Sara with admiration and sparkling eyes.

Seeing Sara’s reaction, Emir became smug as he puffed his chest and started exaggerating his already fake story.

While Sara’s admiration for Emir grew, everyone else’s faces started darkening, of course, there were always exceptions like Morana who just enjoyed the show and ate her popcorn, or Samael who couldn’t care less as long as it didn’t have anything to do with Morana.

In the end, Shio came to everyone’s rescue, putting an end to this nightmare.

“We don’t have much time, we need to go back for the water stone as well as take the trials for our stones.”

With his remainder Emir and Sara also focused on the task at hand.

“What do we do now?” Asked Emir.

“You two can start your trials and I will go back for the water stone.” Said Shio.

“If you fail you might lose your life and we will have to get two stones back.” Said Emir, not liking the idea of trusting this task to someone he didn’t know.

“There is always a risk, Don’t worry I won’t die just start your own trials, and I will bring the stone.”

Finally, Emir also didn’t have any other choice but to agree anyway, it’s not like he had any better idea.

Emir and Sara started walking toward earth and fire altars and after placing the stones in place brown and red mana engulfed them and they passed out.

Meanwhile, Shio headed for the last door that had a water symbol on it and without any hesitation walked in.
