Whooooosh!

While Leo was thinking about Ahmed's team, in the light screens, the barrier that covered the entire spectator stands of the Victory Arena suddenly started moving forward towards the center stage.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

As soon as the barrier touched the periphery of the maze, it right after got destroyed with its debris and other stuff pushed forward.

The barrier continued moving forward without any signs of stopping. Albeit it was moving slowly, it would definitely not take that long for the entire maze to be destroyed.

”Oh, no! It seems like the timer for everyone to escape the maze has finally begun!” Elmont announced loudly after seeing the sight of the barrier shrinking in size.

Once again, another information that was deliberately said too late by Elmont, Tifa, and Tila in order to catch every participant with such a sudden turn of events.

The faces of every leader of the remaining 75 participants except for Leo, Orcborg, and Selina can't help but turn ugly.

Honestly, they were somewhat expecting already that the chest wasn't the only surprised that the Evergreen royal family had prepared for this game 'The Maze'. That is because the existence of the chest hadn't really caused them that much damage than what they have expected so far. Though some teams had indeed gained a lot of advantages through those chests and some capable teams were even eliminated because of it by teams much weaker than them, but after the others had discovered how helpful the items inside the chest were, its purpose had immediately lost any effect.

With only those chests and looking for the exit of the maze serving as a challenge for all the teams, the game 'The Maze' seemed like it feels so inferior compared to the first game 'Hide and Seek'.

Although there were still killing involved in the second game 'The Maze', the only difference it had with the first game 'Hide and Seek' was that the map had become really complicated, which, honestly speaking, wasn't really that serious compared to having some Seeker groups searching for them.

Unfortunately, none of them had really expected that the unexpected twist of the game 'The Maze' was actually a timer. And not just any ordinary timer, it was something that would undoubtedly kill anyone that would get caught by the barrier due to tsunami-like debris it was pushing forward.

Unlike the first game 'Hide and Seek' where everyone could just simply choose to hide until 25 teams were eliminated, the second game 'The Maze' would cause all the teams to eagerly look for the exit, lest they get squashed to death.

Even though it is still possible to wait until 25 teams got eliminated in the game 'The Maze', but the question remained whether they could really survive until then. After all, the barrier is gradually enclosing them as time continues to pass.

Looking at the light screen, Leo felt a bit surprised as he remembered the timer that Uncle Elfin had mentioned to him before. He said that all the teams would have to look for the exit of the maze before the time was up. What he just didn't expect was it actually wasn't going to just be any ordinary timer, but rather a timer for their impending death.

Observing the Mirror Map Table, Leo easily found the exit, specifically located nearby the center to the west.

Truthfully, the location of the exit of the maze wasn't really that surprising. With the barrier slowly enclosing towards the center, it is only natural for the exit to also be located in the center. Simply put, the barrier somewhat acted as the clue for the location of the exit.

Without wasting any time, Leo quickly informed Ahmed's team through the communicators, ”Quick, go to the center of the map!”

Brad's wound has long already recovered, so the moment they heard Leo's instruction, Ahmed's team didn't bother returning to the previous mountain as they have planned before, instead, they immediately choose to move to the center of the maze.
