"I know it, how can it be so easy to escape from the hand of soone who went to great lengths to capture a bunch of weaklings?" Myne sighed helplessly as he looked at the maze covered in thin fog before him. The walls of the maze were made of stone, and covered with dense bushes. The stone walls were connected directly to the ceilings, destroying any plan of being oversmart and flying over the maze.
"Phew, thankfully this ti I was prepared, and those walls couldn't stop from cheating, hehehe... But I feel sorry for those people. I hope so of them were able to get out alive," Myne muttered as he looked at his back, where people were continuously getting out from the basent and gathering together, waiting for him to move forward so they could use him as a at shield, themselves not having to do anything.
Shaking his head, Myne used the Ethereal Phase skill, becoming slightly transparent like a ghost. Under the shocked and disbelieving expressions of the crowd, he passed through the wall of the maze and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Am I having a hallucination or did that brat just pass through the stone wall?" A random man spoke hesitantly while rubbing his eyes.
"F*ck, how can this be?" The middle-aged man who had a hot temper and previously cursed Myne the most, quickly rushed toward the wall where he disappeared, pushed aside the bush in front of it, and touched the wall desperately, trying to get through it as well. Sadly, it was no use, and in the end, he helplessly collapsed on the ground with a light thud.
"It seems like that young man had seen through our plan to use him to get out of here without paying any price, so he just left us on our own. I should have thought about it earlier. I am really getting old," The wise old man spoke with a helpless sigh. He looked at the fearful people around him and fell into deep thought.
...
Myne didn't know that there was an old man in the crowd who understood him very well but didn't want to loosen his pocket and now regretted it a lot. After walking in the labyrinth for half an hour, he finally ca out and was now looking at a group of people who were bootlicking a young lady with a big-sister-like template. She wore very sexy purple clothes, had blonde hair, and a beautiful face, but sadly, only C-cup size breasts. She was sitting on a throne-like chair with two people massaging her arms, while one was on her shoulder, and the rest were complinting her or thinking of so words to complint her.

The lady liked being the centre of attention and hearing praise, despite knowing that they were just talking nonsense, and is a histrionic.
Because Myne was in an invisible state, those people didn't notice him.
"Miss, people from Basent No. 5 have escaped and are in the maze," Suddenly a man wearing a long black robe, who didn't seem to be one of the die-hard fans of the blonde lady, walked up to her and reported politely.
Basent No. 5? Just how many basents are there? Myne, hearing the words of the black-robed weirdo, couldn't help but raise his eyebrow.
"Oh? Finally, sothing interesting. I thought there would be no one brave among those groups of ants. Since they are in such a hurry to get freedom, then let them learn that freedom has a very heavy price, and not everyone can get it. Start Protocol 9," The blonde lady raised her hand to stop her henchn from talking and, after thinking for a while, spoke with a smile on her lips.
The black-robed weirdo didn't say anything. He just bowed his head and returned to the corner, starting to talk with soone through a black ring on his hand, which seed to be a more advanced version of Myne's disk-shaped communication device.
"But Miss, if too many people die, won't your mother be angry? She specifically told us not to cause trouble... Otherwise, you might be fine, but it wouldn't be easy for us to escape from her wreath," One of the henchn who seem know his place very well, and was massaging the blonde lady's shoulder spoke hesitantly while gulping down saliva nervously.
"Hmph, so what? If they die, so be it. And this ti, I am in charge of Zone E, and I can do what I want. Mother has no right to order around. She can be angry as much as she wants; I have my father's support, and I don't fear her anymore. As for you, as long as I am alive, no one can punish you as well," The blonde lady said disdainfully, but what no one noticed was hearing her mother's na her hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.
She waved her hand, and a big round mirror appeared in her hand. She gently tapped on the mirror, and suddenly it flowed out of her hand and started floating in front of her in mid-air.
While Myne watched everything with disbelief, suddenly a white fog appeared inside the mirror. When it dissipated, a group of people appeared in the mirror, so of whom Myne had seen before. They were the people who were with him in the basent.
Before Myne could understand what was happening, in the maze, a corner of the wall covered with bushes showed signs of movent. The next mont, a group of finger-sized ants rushed out from the bush and charged towards the crowd. Because there was fog in the maze and everything had been normal until now, the people had beco a bit careless. No one noticed the slight movent in the bush, let alone a group of small ants on the ground.
Soon, the ants reached the crowd and, after climbing onto their legs, started biting them without wasting a single second.
"AHHHH!!!"
As soon as the ants bit people, they let out heart-wrenching screams, as if soone had thrown acid on the area where they had been bitten. After three seconds, they fell to the ground with twisting bodies, as if they had been electrocuted.
Because no one was ready for this sudden attack, and at first, they didn't think it was the work of a group of ants. Seeing the horrific end of the poor people who beca the first targets, the remaining people could only look around vigilantly. But by the ti they realized it was the work of the small ants on the ground, only seven people out of more than fifty were still standing, while the rest were lying on the ground, their eyes were open, brains working completely fine and they could feel bone breaking pain in their bodies, but their body refuses to listen to them and just twisting nonstop.
"Hahahaha, look at their dumbfounded expressions. These country bumpkins might have never imagined in their dreams that one day even ants could toy with their lives," The blonde lady laughed crazily, holding her stomach. Her henchman wasn't far behind, laughing heartily as well. Only God knows what was so humorous about watching people suffer.
"Baldy, tell people in the control room to activate Protocol 7. Since these people are all lying on the ground, they might as well have a sweet dream. This way, we won't have to worry about them dying unexpectedly," The blonde lady called out to the black-robed weirdo in the corner, instructing him.
The black-robed weirdo nodded and quickly delivered the ssage through the ring.
"Sigh, another psychopath. Why do I always encounter these kinds of people?" Myne shook his head. He could tell that what was going to happen next would be nothing but torture for these poor people until they begged to die. If possible, he wanted to deal with these bastards who didn't take anyone's life seriously except their own, but he knew that if he really did that, these people might die an even more horrific death unless he could get them out of this strange world, which clearly wasn't within his capability. So he could only pray for their good luck and pass through the iron door.
On the other side of the iron door was a dark, long corridor. Along one side of the corridor were iron doors spaced at intervals of about ten ters, with two guards standing on either side of the door leading to the basent.
Myne looked left and right, then walked towards the left. After passing through six other entrances to other basents screams of people can be heard every once in a while, Myne saw a wooden door at the end of the corridor. As he passed through it, he finally saw the sun above his head.
"I didn't expect there would be soone who is good at visualization magic among those commoners. It was really surprising."
Myne hadn't even had ti to smile at his successful escape when he heard a sweet voice behind him. Turning his head, he saw a middle-aged woman wearing a red robe, holding a wooden staff with a black gem on top, a golden crown on her head, and long golden hair. Her blue eyes were staring at him with a curious look, but Myne only felt a chill run down in his spin.
