Inventors system - Chapter 44: Labyrinth 7

Angry Sara turned her hands into ice blades and started slashing people left and right.

“Roarrrrr….” She even started roaring like a beast, who lost its mind.

When her mind finally cleared up only Gino was alive. His face was sickly white and he was desperately trying to hide from Sara’s angry eyes.

When she started walking towards him, he tried desperately to run away only to stumble on one of the corpses and fall.

“Don’t come near me… don’t come here. You monster.” Gino was desperately trying to crawl away from Sara, but she had no plans of letting him escape.

This guy touched her reverse scale and she lost her composure for a bit, so she would never let him go.

And the next second Gino’s head was cleanly cut off from his shoulders before he even managed to let out a scream.

Just as Sara finished off Gino, a golden-brown mana engulfed her and she once again passed out only to wake up back in the trial hall.

She was not surprised and slowly stood up once again back to her quiet self. She knew she was first to pass the trial when she saw Shio and emir passed out.

Now all she could do is wait for the other two so she sat down leaning on the wall trying to calm down her stirred emotions from the trial.

After some time Emir also woke up. His expression was grim and Sara knew he also didn’t want to talk about what happened in the trial.

His mission was to give birth to a fire dragon, at first he was very disgusted with the idea but he had no other choice. His only comfort was that it all wasn’t real and after finally giving birth to 6 children his seventh was a fire dragon and he was able to pass the trial.

With a tacit understanding, they both sat down quietly immersed in their own worlds while waiting for Shio to wake up.

Meanwhile, she was in the middle of a large sea, going god knows where.

He had been going forward for a while but still didn’t see anything. It was already getting dark and for some reason, he had a very bad feeling about this. The worst part was that since he entered the sea he has been unable to use any of his powers.

He was like a normal, weak human and this made him very anxious.

He wasn’t the only one nervous, Zoel and Sophia were also worried outside seeing his situation. The worst part was they couldn’t help at all and could only watch from here.

“Don’t worry he’s going to be fine, he’s strong.” Ezra’s voice dispelled their negative thoughts and they were truly encouraged.

“Hmm. He’s going to be fine.” Muttered Sophia as he looked at Ezra with a meaningful eye only the two could understand.

This interaction went unnoticed by the group as their whole attention was now on Shio. This was the last trial in the labyrinth and if Shio passed it successfully they would win the first game, having a large advantage over the other groups.

While Morana’s team was finishing their first game similar situations were happening in the whole Dream city.

Some came out of the white room earlier, some have still not come out. Some of the groups went to the district rest area right after they saw it to get some kind of information and meet other people and only very few had similar thoughts as Morana and started walking towards game areas though no one was as fast as them.

In the vast sea, a small ship was struggling against large waves.

Some time ago Shio heard lightning and soon a storm started. He knew without his powers, it was a very dangerous situation but no matter how hard he tried he was still in that desperate situation.

Strong waves were trying to destroy the ship and after a long struggle it was finally turned over and Shio ended up in the sea completely exposed.

The ship was in pieces and no matter how desperate he was he knew he had to calm down and think carefully.

This was a trial for him, so maybe he should find an answer in himself instead of going with a flow.

Ignoring sharp waves destroying his body Shio closed his eyes and tried to calm down his breathing and mind.

After a few minutes he managed to bring his chaotic thought in order and his mind was completely still, his breathing was even, he no longer felt pain.

It was like he was one with the water and one with the air like he was moving with them and even though Shio himself didn’t’ notice the group could see the sea calming down and even the sun started to come up and shine.

All He felt was a war current around him, he was very comfortable as if in the embrace of his mother one with the world, and then green and blue mana engulfed him in its embrace and he came back to reality.

When he opened his eyes he saw the trial hall and Sara and Emir the next second they felt rumble under their feet and the door came out from the ground in the middle of the room.

“I guess that’s for us.” Said Shio and started walking towards the door. As he got close it opened on its own and he walked through.

Sara and Emir walked after him and they all came out of the same door they entered in the labyrinth.

Finally, after seeing others they let out a sigh of relief and relaxed a bit.

“Congratulations you have cleared the first game of arena 5 of district thirteen ‘Labyrinth’.” As Zekis’s words fell they couldn’t help but cheer only to be poured with cold water.

“You still have to win 7 games in this district in order to move to the next stage. As a first group who cleared the game you are entitled to the little information before others, they will know about this only after they clear at least three games.”
