Chapter 603 - 548: Reverse (2/2)

A short distance away, there was another Hider who was disturbed by these events and was forced to reveal herself. She had long green-hair and wore a medium-sized armor, she was none other than Maxine, who knew that her companion was nearby but was too preoccupied about her situation.

She couldn't jump in and help him since she didn't know who her Seeker was. If it's someone like Ber Von Xin then showing will only complicate things, she could only hope the Shaman would successfully escape.

After one last glance at her teammate, Max gritted her teeth and tiptoed, trying to leave the area without arousing any suspicion. Of course, Arthur did notice this female player, who was really bad at Stealth but he didn't pay her any attention. Had she intervened, the Quad-Spirit was more than ready to block her until Arthur caught his target.

When the vines were turned into ash, the water boat increased in speed, piercing through the fog and about to leave this small area only to smash into a white wall made of light. Half of the boat vanished and the shaman lost his balance, almost falling into the bosom of the countless never-ending vines.

He held his charm and was about to chant again but his body suddenly plummeted to the ground. In a split second, his body was covered by his vines and only his face was shown. Arthur was just about to go and touch him only for a deafening alarm to echo across the whole floor.

*30 minutes have passed, from this point onwards, the roles will be reversed. The new Seekers can catch any Hider and they'll be teleported to the next floor. The new hiders need to remain hidden for half-an hour.*

Arthur was flabbergasted, not knowing how to react.

'What the hell is this?'

He was just a step away from succeeding only for this to happen. As he was lost in thought, a rapid figure came rushing at him, however, before she could strike the parasite, her body suddenly slowed down then was blasted by raging flames.

Maxine grunted and cut the flames in half before smiling at Arthur, who just snapped out of his daze.

”I never expected such a twist! Hehehehe”

Her laugh sounded evil rather than innocent, she got rid of the vines binding the shaman and signaled for him to corner Arthur.

”You do know that one single physical contact is enough, right?”

In response, Arthur stared back at the green-haired woman, his palm releasing Dark Magic.

The player charged at him again but even two steps, her body fell again, not because of the spirit's interference but a result of what Arthur said.

”Ok'od (Kneel).”

He used Dragon Words, something that even Maxine cannot resist. Her knee touched the ground and her body was forced to stop moving, a visible expression of confusion plastering on her face.

The Shaman tried to do something but he couldn't resist Arthur's Dark Magic, which was like a tsunami, engulfing him within seconds. In the end, he was trapped in a world of darkness, unable to do anything but wait.
