Chapter 228: It is a Trap!

Chapter 228: It is a Trap!

The direction Cody was taking him was further and further away from the crowd. There, Miles saw a small opening in the ice wall. He could see that the opening was man-made and only big enough for a person to fit barely. Miles doubted Zall would fit there.

Why would they bother with such a thing? Miles pondered as he came before the opening. From the opening, he couldnt see anything. For some reason, the hole was taking curves, and the end of it couldnt be seen. That is strange.

Miles felt something was wrong. Is it a trap? Although it seems like it, there are many people outside of the cave, and at the first sign of trouble, they would swarm to this place. I also have the means to escape if it is a trap.

Lets enter, Cody said and walked into the opening. Miles was hesitant for a second, so he opened the heat vision to take a peek inside. But because of the thick icy walls, he couldnt even see Cody who had just entered, let alone the inside. He switched to elemental vision, but the result was the same. The ice element was covering and blocking what was lying behind it.

I should be able to escape if something goes wrong, Miles muttered silently and entered the opening. He took turns several times on a twisting path, and only after taking the 15th turn did he arrive in the dim cave. There, he saw Cody was talking with five people. He looked at them but failed to recognize any of them.

When he entered, the five looked at him. For a second, Miles felt hostility, but he shrugged it off as his imagination, but he still had his guard up. He walked to the side of Cody and waited.

Shouldnt you remove your armor to show your goodwill now that we are working together? One at the lead said. Miles looked at the person. He wasnt tall nor short, his face was average too. Everything about him was as normal as it could be. He was the type of person one wouldnt remember after meeting.

Miles didnt answer the question but looked around. The cave wasnt big at all, so he could see every part of it, but he still felt something was amiss.

We are talking to you, Marooner. Dont think you are a hot-shit! Another one shouted with rage.

You can come out now, I have no intention to rush out, Miles said loudly. The cave walls behind the five crumbled down and more than twenty people walked out. Miles recognized most of them to be Tian Ling and Mihr Orrils men. There were even some with Starve Cleric outfits.

Haha! What would your grandfathers think, Tian and Orril? You are getting in the same bed with Starve Cleric. Miles grinned underneath his armor and looked at the opening. There he saw four people walking in. At the lead, there was a Starve Cleric girl with Eloise Holmes?

Eloise Holmes! Now that is strange. Miles wasnt expecting her to be here. She was Oliviers older sister and was more talented than her brother. Although she was still in Grace-Rank, similar to Quinn it was because her superpower was a bit peculiar, making it much harder for her to level up to Form-Rank.

Oliviers superpower was the fireball. Simple and destructive. His sister, Eloise, on the other hand, had a rarer form of the fire element, Life Fire. It was a long shot but in a nutshell, she was the warmness of the sun giving life to Earth. Like Xavic, she couldnt use her superpowers to hurt monsters but her healing attribute was making up for it.

She was the prodigy of the Holmes family and the most talented one. She was bad news, no questions there.

Hello, Marooner! She smiled brightly and greeted Miles. Her eyes were like a pair of sun, warming the inside of the cave. Her bright pinkish-red hairs were falling on her shoulders like a waterfall made of flames. She was wearing purplish-blue light armor and great hateful posture, wanting nothing but destroying Miles.

Welp, me and my curiosity. When will I ever learn?
