Chapter 332: Illusory (2/2)

However, he couldn't waste any time and directly jumped into the hole.

The inside was dark and he could only see anything thanks to the light that was coming from the hole. However, the further along he went the less light he got. Even if he was a cultivator, he couldn't see in places with truly no light.

So, he used his spiritual sense for guidance. Just as he sent it out, he felt someone waiting in the darkness on the other side.

Alex could see him with his eyes closed, listening to his footsteps. 'He wants to steal my talisman,' Alex thought. However, there was no way the man could do that here in a place with no light.

The darkness was Alex's domain.

Alex immediately disappeared and appeared next to the man.

PING

He swiftly grabbed the falling talisman and disappeared. The man had been listening to sound for echolocation to determine where Alex was, but he never expected Alex to simply disappear and steal away his talisman.

By the time the man looked behind, Alex had disappeared again. Alex didn't bother walking at all. He kept on using the teleportation technique as that was the fastest way to leave this place of darkness.

After not even 5 minutes, he reached the end of the underground tunnels and climbed a steady incline to walk out of it. When he finally came out, he was surprised.

”What?” he shouted out as he saw the most ridiculous field yet. In front of him, was a field full of nothing but monsters. He looked at the sword he was holding and thought, 'Am I supposed to fight them?'

However, just as quickly he shook his head. ”No, at the end of the day, this is a race. I am supposed to walk out of here as soon as I can,” he said to himself.

He decided to skip the monster, and just as he wished, the texts floating in the air also gave him an easy route out.

- The restriction of '1-meter flight' is lifted just for this one course. It will start the moment you enter the maze walls on the other side.-

”I can fly?” he thought happily. He could now easily skip the hundreds of monsters down below. He was about to fly and leave, but then he stopped.

He looked up and looked at the words again. ”Why?” he asked himself. Why would the competition holders lift a restriction for just this one land?

Was it because it was dangerous? Was it because it was time-consuming? If one could simply skip it, why even have this be a part of the Maze run?

That was when Alex noticed something amongst the many monsters and thought, ”I see. No wonder.”
