Chapter 710  Chapter 709-You Are My Age?!

 

Carmel could only watch, Carmelia tagging along as her head started to pound, the scene in front of her whispering of a past perhaps hidden deeply within her memory, the scene in front of her playing forward.

.....

"What are we doing here?"

Carmelia in control asked, munching nicely on the well-done meat in her hand, trying to play at the reality while hiding her trauma in her mind. As such, the scene played around with the figure leaning against the wall spoke.

"We are waiting for the night cycle to complete."

His rough words brought forth information about the place she was in. The whispers of certain dangerous-looking monsters moving around, their numbers doubling in the night, and in the case of this maze, the flow of day and night being completely different from the outside, when Carmelia came here it was definitely the morning.

"Rest for now, you are going to need the energy afterward."

To this, Carmelia nodded her head, her suspicious eyes still focusing on the scene in front of her as she leaned her head against the wall, her mind weary and tough as she tried to keep her consciousness. Yet all the attacks on her mental state that day made it harder for Carmelia, and her eyes slowly started to flutter and fall asleep.

.....

"Wake up..."

The whispering call, along with the nudging shoulder, quickly woke Carmel up, she was back in control, looking at the masked figure in front of her with confusion, which quickly went away as her memories filled her mind. Thus gaining back her focus, Carmel asked in a guarded tone.

"Is it time?"

"Yes, let's head out."

The voice in the mask spoke to which, pushing away the opening, the two of them came out into the maze, the high walls filling the sky, as the subtle dangerous energy floated all around. Thus, with the person in front of Carmel taking the lead, the duo started to trudge forward, an eerie feeling all around from the walls. Finnd ?ew chapters on n?ve/lbi?(.)com

Screeching sounds causing pain in their ears resounded all throughout, the figure in front of Carmel walking with caution as he suddenly stopped. With a quick throw of a stone to the ground, a trap seemed to be activated as several arrows hit all around the frontal pathway, the scene making Carmel take a deep breath as chills filled her body.

"Let's keep our voices lower from now on."

Nodding her head at the voice, Carmel matched the figure in front of her, their nearly same height building up certain questions in her mind, but for now, her main focus stayed on surviving from here and getting revenge on everyone that was involved in this, one way or the other. As such, quickly they seemed to be making some leeway, walking through the place.

And then a voice sounded out, the cry of an animal.

"Screeeeth!!"

Its call caused both the duo's bodies to freeze, with goosebumps covering over Carmel's body as she spoke.

"What was that?"

"That was our call to run!"

With that shout, the cloaked figure rushed forth, with Carmel holding behind him, the call was heard from behind, and Carmel turned to look back, her eyes widening as certain monsters walked out from the edge of a wall, their size bringing fear to Carmel's body.

The monster in front of her stood on its four, its two frontal legs being bigger than the back as it hunched over with a certain height, four beady eyes on its overall face, a round mouth with several teeth with a large tongue dangling out with saliva, its grey skin seemed to be falling from its own body as its disgusting hungry eyes fixed on Carmel. But what made her truly fear was that the monster was at Origin level 5!

Its strength compared to the two of them right now made Carmel tremble with fear, as the two of them rushed forward. Sadly it didn't have much effect, as the monster with a howl started to run after them, its tongue reaching out as it kept moving with great speed. Seeing this, the cloaked figure taking the lead tried to take several turns, hoping to put the monster back.

But it only barely did something to hold that monster back.

"This is bad, we need a way out now!"

As the cloaked figure shouted into Carmel's ears, she ran along with him, their pace fast as they tried to escape. And within this, the figure shouted into Carmel's ears.

"Try to see if there are any walls with yellow markings on them!"

At that shout, Carmel started to look around as they kept moving around the maze, death quickly catching up on their back. Then suddenly, as they took a curve, Carmel caught sight of certain inscriptions with yellow color on them, to which she quickly shouted.

"There! There's something there!"

At this, quickly catching Carmel's hand before she could react, the figure placed his hands on the wall, his mana covering it as the wall's yellow inscriptions lit up. Just as it did, their two bodies got sucked up, moments before a sharp claw could drive into their bodies, lights flashing all around.

And soon with spatial anomalies all around, the two of them appeared in a place, yellow bright particles floating around as the duo landed on the ground. Just as they did, Carmel took her hand away, her gaze turning cold with Carmelia taking control as she spoke out.

"Don't touch me without my permission!"

At her words, the masked figure looked at Carmelia as he spoke in a dry tone.

"If I didn't hold you, the two of us would have been separated and thrown out into different locations once this trial might be over."

His words took back some of the chills as Carmelia's mind started to run with the issue of the trial. Certain parts of the walls when activated put forth a trial on the maze runners, and if cleared, certain treasures and prizes awaited them. And thus the shining yellow particles around started to swirl, a certain pressure coming all around.

The yellow particles soon gathered to form a big lip as a funny-looking voice started to be heard from it.

"Oh? What do we have here, two contestants of similar age? Could this be a love challenge?"

The words of the lips made Carmel's eyes widen, the fact that the one in front of her might be a child like her rattling her mind, more so going forth to prove that perhaps the one in front of her might not be all that normal. A kid of Origin level 3 at that age? The only way that happens is if you are from a powerful family. And Carmelia wasn't one not to see that manner in which he had acted back at the enclosure.

"We are not a couple, that is something I can agree on."

The figure spoke, now seemingly the same age, producing a certain close feeling as Carmelia agreed.

"That's right!"

"Um... well, that doesn't matter! I am still going to make this enjoyable!"

With that, the light all around started to swirl, quickly bringing forth the challenge the two of them would have to face.
