Chapter 174: The Deadliest Hopscotch Game Ever! (2) (1/2)

Thirtythis time but it looked rather scarier than the first section

The floor was a bit lower than the level of the threshold and was filled with a water-like substance From the scent, Jon realized that this is a flareen fla kept lit on a few millimeters above the flae, 'rilled'

Jon had a strong urge to cry but it was already too late In his life, he regretted giving himself the surname 'Dare' a few times and this is one of them Still, he had his reputation to live up to

Jon checked the place again and noticed that the o came from these sections, there were some Dwarven spiders behind the walls but it seeered yet

Jon looked up to the ceiling and down on the oily floor and noticed so, there was a lowing then di constellation was the 'Shadow' then the 'Steed' With every constellation glowing, some so dohen another constellation glow and another set of tiles pop up instead

”So you want e-Level Hopscotch?”

Jon was infuriated, he alking on the threshold and grinding his teeth butthe constellations

They were going around in an orderly fashi+on and nothing see with them, each constellation lasted around ten seconds

Jon started to calculate the tiles he should juinning But all his plans went in shambles at the end

The reason? Well, it is pretty simple, the 'Serpent' constellation The same bloody stars he was born under

The 'Serpent' constellation appeared between the 'Tower' and the 'Atronach' constellations and lasted five seconds before the circle went back to order once again

Jon observed the next circle of constellations and this tie'

”Oh boy! This is annoying!”

Jon sat down and kept observing for an hour until he understood that the 'Serpent' constellation was random, a pattern didn't appear even after thirty circles

Jon gave up and tried to focus on the regular constellations until he decided to give it a try He waited for a constellation when the 'Serpent' appears as early as possible and his wish came true when it came between the 'Lover' and the 'Lord' constellations Jon hopped on the nearest tile and jumped as fast and as skillful as he could, there were no feet restrictions this time so it was a piece of cake… until it happened

Halfway through, Jon couldn't go forward anyht side of the room were rather close to each other but didn't see the second threshold soon

Jon was vexed so he tried to return before the circle ends

What etting lesser and lesser until he ran out of foothold Noith the timer in his mind, he already had six seconds for the next circles' first constellation, the 'Ritual' to come up

Once the timer reached zero, Jon juo up

It eird… but the tile didn't show up!

It didn't come out at all

Jon had the spell 'Haste' on him and looked around with panic to only find that the first constellation this circle was the 'Serpent'

It meant that the 'Ritual' won't coreat deal of trouble His vision shook and he suddenly wanted to quit as soon as possible but there was no way he could escape

He had no options left

With the power of his body, Jon ed to flip around in the air and succeeded to cast 'Featherfall' one round

It was a slow fall but still falling

Jon was descending on the flaive it his all in his dire situation
