Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

124 Chapter 124

The scene turned from chaotic and intense to calm and eerie in a matter of seconds. The weird silence that took over the audience as they saw the screen was mind-blowing. You could even hear the sound of a needle hitting the ground in this place.

The powerhouses of this world also witnessed this scene and they immediately stood up. Some of them had their sons and daughters inside that maze and they were now buried under the rocks and boulders.

"My son!!!!" A queen with a crown on her face shouted as she tried to jump down but was restrained by her husband who was also barely keeping his composure.

The others were not faring any better…especially two women that weren't sitting that far from each other.

Leislet was the first to sense the abnormality and also the first to try and contact the control panel to ask about the problem, thinking that it wouldn't be that catastrophic. But, her thoughts were soon crushed when she saw Acht's worried face and she immediately knew that something was very wrong.

However, even though she did try to do something, it was already late by that time. Her eyes witnessed how her most beloved was buried under the tones of rocks that fell down like a meteor.

"No…." She muttered with an extremely pale face. She was still not sure if he was dead or not so she was fairly calm.

'Acht…No! He can't be dead. He will be ok! I'm sure! He will get out alive.' She tried to convince herself that he was capable of doing miracles so another miracle isn't that hard for him. They were all just words at the end of the day. Nevertheless, those words gave her the strength to call the control panel again as she rushed out of the stands. They didn't reply to her no matter how many times she called so she decided to go there by herself.

The same was for Scarlett, she held her mouth in shock as she tried to not appear weird to her father.

She also stood up and left, ignoring her father's continuous calls for her.

Leislet took a few moments to reach the control room since it was not that far from the arena. The place was very highly secured, usually. But, this time, instead of finding guards, she found bloody corpses.

Decapitated heads and spilled out organs, it was so gory, she had to hold her nose to stop the horrible smell from penetrating her brain and making her dizzy.

"What the fuck is this?!" She walked through the corpses with deep shock as she tried to comprehend the situation.

There were at least 21 dead guards inside. Then, she reached the room and didn't even dare to open it since she saw from the window outside what ensued in the control room.

It was a total disaster, forget about the tournament, this could be the reason for a war between kingdoms. They will all think that the other kingdoms had a hand in this.

But, for now, she opened the room and entered inside.

The lab workers inside were all brutally murdered. Most of their bodies were disfigured to no repair and their blood coated all of the place in a weird crimson red color.

The head lab scientist who was also the supervisor of the test was especially disfigured way more than the others. He had his head bent to a weird angle, his limbs were cut off and they exchanged places, making his hands in the place of his legs and his legs in the place of his hands.

Leislet stood silent for a good moment before she clenched her teeth and tightened her fists.

She had discovered something really important.

"Those fucking bastards." She muttered with her harshest tone.

On the body of the man, there was one word written with blood on his chest.

"Nightingale."

It had this creepy feeling to it even though it was merely a word. It even sent a chilling shock down Leislet's spine.

"They got us."

*************************

Inside the maze, under a certain pile of rocks, there were two people getting crushed by the debris.

"F-Fuuuuuckkk!!!" Acht shouted as he felt his broken leg and the other fractures he sustained in his other body parts.

The moment they landed on the ground, a huge rock crushed him before he could even do anything.

"Ooze won't hold on for longer!" He muttered as he looked at the black liquid on top of them.

He had made Ooze form a barrier and engulfed them both under it for more space. But, because of the sheer weight of the debris, Ooze was slowly dissolving with each second passing.

"Hey, Tania! Wake up!" He tapped Tania beside him who was unconscious. She also sustained heavy injuries, even heavier than Acht's. The only reason he was still awake and she was not was because of the difference in strength between them.

"There should be a way out of this!" He mused as he looked around him.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find any weak points in the debris that could make it crumble down and release the weight that was crushing them slowly.

'Goddammit! I have no way out of this! Even my gravity can't handle such a huge weight.

His last chance of survival was Tania. But, the little girl didn't seem to be waking up anytime soon.

In a nutshell, Acht was in a huge disadvantageous position. He had no way out of this. It was as if someone deliberately made it so that he can't get out of this alive.

Then, to make things even worse, the liquid Ooze finally collapsed and the huge weight of almost 50 tons of rocks came down on him.

He immediately used whatever soul force he still had in his body and tried to fight off as his last chance of survival.

'I am not going to die here!' He clenched his teeth and pushed his usable hand up.

"Haaaaaaaaahhhhhh!" He shouted loudly and pushed up as much as he could. The debris wasn't moving but it wasn't going down either so it was fixed in its place.
