Chapter 399 - Mysteries of Mysterious Maze (part-3) (1/2)

Ryuu gave a dazzling smile to everyone present as shook they head at his antics.

He casually stepped away from the corpse of the creature that slowly turned into a puddle of goo, while he twirled his weapons disappeared from his hands.

He looked towards his group before he tilted his head slightly with a small barely noticeable frown on his face, 'Why are those three gawking at me like that?'

No sooner he approached them he was dragged by his group slightly to the side as Zywia spoke with an anxious tone in her voice, ”When we got separated we came across a statue.”

Hearing the word 'statue', a warning bell rang in his head as such he quickly spoke to run damage control, ”Ah so you have seen the statue.”, at that the trio nodded as Ryuu continued speaking, ”The craftsmanship was noteworthy to the point it looked alive, the statue was so well made that for a moment I thought you three were turned to golden statues and placed there.”

The trio was taken aback by that as Frost Flames spoke, ”What nonsense are you saying? We are speaking about your statue.”

Ryuu looked shocked upon hearing that before he snickered at that as he spoke, ”That was a nice joke, but seriously why are your statues present here?”

”But Ryuu please believe us we saw your statue, it was incredibly accurate, not to mention that spear of yours I never saw it before but the statue had it and now you are carrying it as well.”

Seeing the distressed look on Frozen Oceans face Ryuu scowled as he spoke, ”The spear I did not use because I never needed to, I have yet to face someone that would make me go all out to fight until then sorry but I am not going to use my full strength to crush ants.”

Zywia looked a bit annoyed as she spoke, ”If you do not believe us, then we can transverse into the maze again.”

Ryuu quickly raised his hand in surrender as he spoke, ”Wah, wah please come down Zywia, it is not that I do not believe you I was taken aback after seeing your statues.”

True-Spear frowned at that as he spoke, ”It is disconcerting as none of us saw those statues, but I believe if we discuss our findings we might find the motive since all we did was transverse the maze, nothing more nothing less, and compared to other levels we have yet to find any danger.”

As True-Spear spoke Ryuu plopped on the ground as he glared at him, seeing such a look on his face True-Spear could not help but as out loud, ”What?”

Ryuu simply raised his finger as he pointed towards the black goo as he spoke, ”You forgot about that.”

True-Spear gained a sheepish look on his face as he spoke, ”Well sorry, but as we have not faced any enemy I forgot.”

Ryuu huffed at that as he stared on the ground.

Amnon cleared his throat as he spoke, ”Well I believe we can discuss the statues later on as others are getting impatient wanting to know about your encounter with those creatures.”

The array meant for their privacy went down as by then Ryuu was already lying on the floor with his eyes closed as he spoke, ”If some of you are offended sorry but I am not getting up I am too tired to move, so sorry.”

Severing Saber snorted at that as he spoke, ”Well youngster I am not asking you to get up but can you please tell us how you came across the creature.”

Ryuu gave him a tired smile as he spoke, ”So where should I begin….. ah yes after I was separated from Zywia, Frost Flames and Frozen Ocean, I was alone moving through the maze, it was then that I came across a door, the only door inside the maze.”

One of the cultivators whose name Ryuu had yet to remember spoke with a frown, ”What are you talking about? There were so many doors in that maze.”
