Chapter 628

The seven of them are completely lost inside this maze .

The crossroads fork into two or three paths now and then . After traversing a lot of these paths, they lost their ways within this maze . All they know is this place is ridiculously big . Forget the exit, they can’t even find their original arrival point . They might have missed it but they couldn’t be sure .

Whenever they couldn’t find any more forks in the road, it’s usually because they arrived at yet another dead end .

He led the Black Cats through the maze . Wu Yan is now moving faster than when they started . He is frowning very hard . In his mind, he is piecing together a mental map from the places they already discovered .

With his impeccable memory aiding him, he is very sure he can tell which paths he hadn’t traveled down yet . However, he failed to keep track of where a path led to whenever he came back again, basically, he’s very confused right now .

The loss of a sense of direction wasn’t compensated by his Impeccable Memory .

The maze is very complex and the layout is designed in a way that would even the hardiest of mapmakers . The moment he lost his bearing, it was already too late . He always chose a path that would somehow end at a dead end .

Obviously, this wasn’t a test of strength . With a labyrinth this complex, even the mighty Impeccable Memory couldn’t help him out . He just couldn’t tell North from South, forget navigating the crossroads .

In this way, labyrinths are way scarier than floor bosses .

Floor bosses can physically destroy someone while labyrinths can mentally destroy someone .

The Black Cats got more and more anxious as time went on . They are all emotionally unstable right now . They are very frustrated and exhausted by walking around to no avail . At this rate, they are going to cave in before their bodies did .

Wu Yan’s head filled up with stormy clouds .

With his perfect memory failing him, making legends on the map is also a no go since one would end up with a blank map with legends dotting it .

Leaving traces on the wall or dropping items to mark their paths also failed .

Players can’t damage the walls, leaving items won’t work because the dropped items would disappear after 1 minute . It’s as ineffective as it’s wasteful .

Wu Yan raked his brain thinking of a way to break them out of this nightmare .

And then, one hour pa.s.sed just like that .

The Black Cats aren’t doing too well too . Wu Yan gnashed his teeth, he grew more composed rather than anxious or wanting to give up .

In a situation like this, the last thing you wanted to do is to freak out . He got himself out of the Beast King corner situation when he calmly went over his choices .

Wu Yan rubbed his temples while scanning the walls around him . His heart is a bit tired after this ordeal .

Who was the evil genius that made this place, it’s just the second floor of Aincrad . How did the players in the original work make it to the 75th floor in this gruesome death game?

f.u.c.k, am I going to be trapped in this maze?

He calmed himself down and he leaned against the wall .

Kachak

The place where he laid his palm sunk .

He looked at the wall and he saw his fingerprints . Yeap, he definitely did that .

Wu Yan was stunned for a brief moment .

Is this some kind of bug? A wall that can be interacted with?

Wu Yan started considering if this is a dead-end s.p.a.ce designed to trap players rather than a complex maze . Every path he chose would always end up as a dead-end after all .
