Chapter 125: Labyrinth

"We're getting teleported currently," Zen held the two princesses in his arms as he made sure they didn't get separated.

He wasn't worried about Evie and Angela since they were prepared. Not to mention, he left a trace of true qi in their body so he can sense their location and vice versa.

In addition to Evie's unknown strength, he was confident in their safety but the two princesses in his embrace is a different story.

Their identities were too delicate and special so if someone wanted to take advantage of them during this time then it doesn't take a genius to know what would happen to them.

Sometime later, the teleportation was done and they appeared in a gloomy, dark room.

'Seriously… why can't anyone have a bright room for once in a damn labyrinth,' Zen cursed inwardly when he arrived in a room where he could barely see with the naked eye.

However, a sudden thought appeared in his mind when he realized the current situation.

An evil grin appeared on his smile as he grabbed hold of something in his embrace.

"Ahhh," Both Leila Dragoon and Krista Dragoon screamed in surprise when they felt their breasts being groped.

"Zen, are you really taking advantage of us here?" Krista Dragoon spouted in anger as she couldn't believe him.

"What do you mean?" Zen asked innocently while continuing to grope on their breast.

Leila Dragoon was bashful but she didn't complain as she felt some weird sensation in her breast.

Since she has always avoided and pushed people away from her, she was too inexperienced in knowing what she is currently feeling.

Zen smiled inwardly when he managed to use this situation in his favor. 'God bless the creator of this gloomy environment.'

After groping for another few minutes, Zen felt his feet being stepped on by Krista Dragoon and she continued to use all her strength.

'Tsk, I forgot to lock her leg as well.' Zen cursed inwardly when he made such an amateur mistake.

Heaving a defeated sigh, Zen reluctantly let go of the two women as he activated his essence flame to make the room brighter for their eyesight to see. 

As the room brightens, Zen can see Krista Dragoon glaring at him angrily while Leila Dragoon lowers her head bashfully.

"Hmph, just you wait for your damn punishment. Lecherous and shameless scoundrel," Krista Dragoon shouted as she started to check around the surrounding area.

As Krista Dragoon was using her magic sense to check around, a loud voice echoed in the room.

"Hello Challengers, welcome to the labyrinth created by one of the Demon Lord's servants, Karaka Nomin. Enjoy this labyrinth as all of you are separated." 

A projection screen showing a bat-demon appeared in the room that Zen is in and it was also spread around in the area that the people teleported to.

"You may have a lot of questions but I could care less about you unqualified people. If you want an answer then climb up this labyrinth as there is a total of 100 floors full of delicate monsters waiting to chomp on your flesh." The bat-demon laughed and wished them good luck as it vanished.

Zen was speechless at such a cliche event. 'A 100-floor labyrinth. Very surprising and totally unexpected… not.' 

He was completely dumbstruck by such a cliche plot where it's always a labyrinth with 100 floors. He was expecting something different but alas, he was left disappointed once again.

Meanwhile, in other areas, the other people that attended the auction were frazzled and panicked.

"What the hell is this labyrinth?"

"Weren't we in the Scarlet family auction house? How did we get transported here?"

"Damn it, the Scarlet family is in cahoot with the demons."

The crowd cursed as they figured out that they've been tricked and taken into an unknown place.

Some groups have 5-10 people while others can have 20-50 people. The groups were varied in number but one thing was sure is that they're all isolated from others.

Angela and Evie were transported with 2 other people in their group. Surprisingly, they were Morgan Pelora and Daphne Camellia.

"Seems like this is a pretty fun and thrilling adventure," Evie chuckled softly as she enjoyed herself in their current situation.

"Is Zen currently safe?" Angela asked Evie as she was worried about him and Daphne Camellia gritted her teeth in anger whenever she heard the name, Zen.

"Can you stop mentioning him when we are stuck in this area where we don't even know the exit?" Daphne Camellia shouted at Angela as she couldn't stand her attitude.

"Hmph, I'm not even asking you so why are you interrupting me. Also, if you don't want me to mention him then you can always go alone and find the exit." Angela snorted as she wasn't going to be polite to anyone talking bad about Zen.

"Y-You, hmph" Daphne Camellia pointed her finger at Angela before ignoring her.

She may be impulsive most of the time but she wasn't stupid. 'You want to isolate me in this current situation. Dream on, I'm not dumb enough to go alone when dangers are lurking everywhere.'

Angela curved her lips upward when she silenced Daphne Camellia. Afterward, she turned to stare at Evie again for an answer.

Evie smiled slightly as she patted her head and said, "You can stop worrying about that lecherous brat as I'm pretty sure he is currently busy taking advantage of those two princesses."

Angela became dumbfounded as she didn't find Evie's word to be outrageous or ridiculous as she was sure Zen would definitely do that.

"Looks like our only exit path is by climbing the floor in this labyrinth-like that bat-demon said." Morgan Pelora suddenly said when everyone was distracted.

Morgan Pelora has tried to use her magic sense to check their surroundings but was surprised to know it is being restricted. Also, it seemed like their current area was safe from any demonic beast.

It was like they're in a safe zone and once they walked out of this safe zone, that's when their challenge began.

Evie nodded her head slowly as she said, "You're correct but before we begin exploring, there is something else we need to do." 

The room turned silent as they looked at Evie with curiosity about her meaning. Evie gave a mysterious smile as she pointed her finger in a direction.
