Chapter 144 Maze's Exit



[25 Minutes...]

[Liam Shadowcrest: 1000/1000]

"Huh," Liam caught his breath as he watched his points reach a thousand.

"Finally, I have enough points."

"25 minutes... I need to find the exit fast."

Seeing that there was only a little time left, Liam began to hurry.

...

[18 minutes...]

"Lily?!" Liam muttered as he saw someone.

"Liam?!" Lily responded, looking at the one calling her.

"It's you, sister. Do you have enough points?"

"Yes, I'm just about to find the exit."

"Me too. I was just about to find the exit."

"Then let's go together."

"Alright."

...

[15 minutes...]

Just as Liam and Lily were running at full speed to find the exit

A man suddenly appeared in front of them.

Liam and Lily got into their fighting state, ready to fight.

"Brother, Sister, it's me."

"Nathan?! You scared me to death!" Lily couldn't help but complain.

"You should be careful in the future. We nearly attacked you," Liam advised.

"Alright. Are you also finding the exit?" Nathan nodded and asked.

"Yes, have you found it?" Lily asked.

"I already found it, but there is an obstruction."

"Obstruction?"

"I don't have time to explain. Follow me."

...

[10 minutes...]

"It's here?" Liam muttered, looking at the familiar place.

"Yes, the entrance is hidden by a mechanism," Nathan nodded.

Nathan manipulated some parts, and a small entrance opened in the wall.

"It's quite hidden," Lily said.

"Let's go."

After they came in, they realized what obstruction Nathan was talking about.

"An ambush?" Liam muttered.

They looked at a group of more than a hundred students standing in front of the huge door.

"Hmm, these guys didn't hunt monsters at the beginning and found the exit early on."

"Hateful," Lily said coldly.

"Tsk, your entrance is really hidden," Liam commented.

The people lying in the ambush didn't even notice them talking loudly.

"I reinforced this place with hidden runes."

"You're getting better and better," Liam praised.

"Anyway, where are the others? Could it be that they were already eliminated?" Lily asked about her other siblings.

"I don't know. You're the first one I saw."

"Anyway, what's the plan?" Nathan asked.

"Of course, we fight," Lily clenched her fist, ready for battle.

"Don't be too hasty; we're no match for them," Liam held his sister back.

"Oh, what plan do you have? We only have 10 minutes," Lily complained.

"Waiting for someone..."

"That's a great idea," Lily quickly agreed.

Their plan is to wait for a group or a strong student to occupy the group, then attack from behind.

...

[9 minutes...]

[7 minutes...]

[6 minutes...]

[3 minutes...]

"What do we do? Only a bunch of weaklings came here," Lily said worriedly.

These few minutes seemed like an eternity as they waited for someone to come.

Unfortunately, there were only one or two, and they were quickly resolved.

"Just wait. We only need a few seconds to rush to the exit," Liam said.

Even if no one comes in, they can still exit at the last minute.

After all, the people lying in ambush also needed to get out of here.

"Fine..." Just when Lily was speaking, a commotion attracted their attention.

"Max? Lyla?"

"There is also Ella and Lydia!"

They were shocked as their siblings just bulldozed into the group like a bowling ball.

"Come, let's help!" Liam said.

...

A little earlier.

"So what's your plan?" Ella asked, looking at the people in the ambush.

"Of course, we fight them with our fists!" Max said without hesitation.

Max didn't care if he failed this test.

Moreover, there is not much time.

Instead of waiting, it's better to push through.

Maybe his sisters and Ella can pass through thanks to his sacrifice.

"These bastards are getting in our way; they need a beating!" Lyla quickly agreed.

Lyla, on the other hand, just likes to fight.

As for the test or whatever, she doesn't care.

"B-but that's dangerous; there are so many of them," Lydia said nervously.

"Heh! Just a bunch of trash!" Max curled up his lips and said.

"Let's go! Let them have a taste of my lovely fist!" Lyla said, crunching her fist.

"Sigh, a bunch of brutes," Ella sighed, looking at Max and Lyla already running over to fight.

"Will you come?" Ella asked Lydia.

"Of course, I need to help my brother and sister," Lydia said.

Although she is nervous, it does not mean that she is a coward.

When it comes to her brothers and sisters, she is more violent than anyone else.

"Hehe, then let me help this idiot, Max," Ella said.

Ella is not one bit scared of a group fight.

Ella was the favorite granddaughter of an apex sovereign.

Her resources and foundation are not something that can be defeated by mere numbers.

...

"Someone is coming towards us!" the group was alerted as they saw Max and Lyla.

"Finally, another points!"

"Make sure to evenly distribute the points, we only have a few minutes before the end of the test."

"Alright."

...

"I'll take the lead, you follow," Max said to Lyla as he boosted himself with all kinds of spells.

"But I want to take the lead," Lyla pouted.

"First come, first served," Max didn't agree as he rushed forward, punching the first one he saw.

*Smack*

Max's punch squarely hit one of the students in the center of his face.

After punching another student, he ran through the center of the group.

"Damn! Crazy!"

"It's a lunatic!"

After all, most people, after seeing an ambush, would be timid and might not react in time.

But Max didn't stop.

As for the punches, kicks, and spells that hit him, Max didn't even change his expression.

Although his whole body was bleeding, as long as it didn't hinder his fighting, it didn't matter.

...

"Another Amazonian!"

They thought that Max was the only one crazy, but another crazy little girl was in front of them.

By now, Lyla was already in tatters, but instead of feeling pain, she felt an adrenaline rush as she smiled wildly.

She looked like a demon in hell, with blood and wounds all over her body.

...

A while later, Max had only eliminated about 20 students, as his body couldn't move.

"Pity, I'm a little short..." Max sighed, waiting for his demise.

Max had thought that he could eliminate at least half of the students.

He didn't expect it to be not even one-fifth.

"I hope you can damage them a little, sister..." Max thought, looking at Lyla, who was still energetic.

"It's time to end you, lunatic!" one of the students shouted as he brandished his sword.

"Heh!" Max just grinned as he closed his eyes.

"Only I can bully Max!" Suddenly, Max heard a voice as he felt the temperature go up all of a sudden.

Opening his eyes, he saw a pillar of fire disintegrating the student in front of him.

"E-Ella..." Max was dumbfounded as if he had seen a goddess of fire.

"Hmph! Just rest. I'll finish the rest," Ella turned her attention with eyes full of fury.

"How dare you damage my toy!" Ella muttered.

"Who's your toy?!" Max got annoyed, dispelling the image of the goddess in his heart.

...

"Little sister, are you alright?" Lydia asked as he hurriedly healed Lyla.

"Hehe, with your healing, I think I can fight ten more!" Lyla said, despite feeling weak all over.

"No, you should rest!" Lydia said, dragging his sister out of the field using a wooden spell.

"No! I still want to fight!" Lyla struggled as she tried to break free from the binding.

Unfortunately, Lyla's crazy fighting style depleted her mana.

It was already a miracle that she was still struggling now.

"No!" Lydia didn't compromise and put Lyla to sleep.

"How dare you hurt my sister..." Lydia said coldly.

With a green light in her eyes, a field of flowers suddenly appeared, mesmerizing other students.

However, students outside Lydia's range were horrified as they saw others being turned into mummies as if being sucked dry.

"A witch!"

"Damn, where did this group come from?"

The group was becoming worried.

With Ella and Lydia on a rampage, a quarter of their group was eliminated.

Just as they were about to retreat to minimize the losses.

A white light suddenly appeared, blinding them momentarily.

"Brother Liam! Sister Lily!" Lydia, who was still angry, suddenly became ecstatic as she saw Liam and Lily.

"Hmm, let us help," Liam said, charging into the fight.

Liam's fighting style was a bit similar to Max's, using his body and spells as support.

However, if Max's fighting style was bloodthirsty and heart-pounding.

Then Liam's fighting style was like a performance as if everything was under control.

...

"You're quite good," Lily praised Lydia.

As for Lyla, she was already unconscious due to Lydia's spell.

"Go, sister!" Lydia smiled as she cheered for Lily.

Lily's fighting style was what you would call elegant.

Lily was like a noble simply here to walk and dance.

The blood and gore became merely a background that added beauty to her fighting style.

Various spells came out of her hands as if they were never-ending.

While her body moved with the flow, like a current carrying a boat.

...

While the others were fighting brightly like fire fireworks.

Hidden in the shadows was Nathan, slicing through the necks of unsuspecting students.

Nathan's fighting style was bland and boring as if he were merely chopping vegetables one by one.

But with a broader view of the field.

You could see that all those killed by Nathan were like nodes that prevented his siblings from being harmed.

Nathan was like the oil in the machine, making the battle easier.
