Chapter 117 Array of Illusions 1
A grin involuntarily appeared on my face. I never expected such a harvest when I put a fragnt of my soul on Mia.
I had to admit that Alice is very daring. As a 16-years-old girl, she dares to manipulate people like the Crown Prince and Earl Carson. Furthermore, she dares to talk about killing the emperor in plain daylight.
And the best part of all that is, none of the people in the room realized the wrongness of the situation.
That is why seers are so fearso. Their ability to manipulate people and see through the fate of the world allows them to reach their goals no matter how difficult it is. Regardless of how much you struggle, in the end, you will realize that each one of your actions were part of the seer’s plan all the ti.
Worse yet, so people don’t even realize that they were nothing that worthless pawns until the day they die.
I think I need to have a word with that girl soon. I don’t like when I’m included in her plots.
Of course, for soone of my level, her current actions are nothing more than a child’s play.
A truly strong seer can’t be traced or detected and can manipulate an entire world in the palm of his hand.
Once I confird that Alice’s group was not talking anything else of importance, I stopped paying attention to their conversation and concentrated in the outing with my sister and two step-cousins.
"What level of difficulty will you choose?" A staff mber asked us politely.
Lena excitedly raised her hand. "The highest difficulty!"
The staff mber’s cheek twitched. "Your highness, the highest difficulty will have eight-layer enemies. I recomnd a lower difficulty."
"Co on, it’s just an illusion. Nothing will happen." Lena insisted.
Seeing that, the man looked at for help. I chuckled slightly. "Follow the princess arrangents. Don’t worry, nothing will happen."
The man’s face turned bitter. "I understand." He then inputted his mana into the array and arranged the enemies’ strength.
By the way, this staff mber was pretty strong himself. Not every day you see a tenth-layer practitioner working in this kind of place.
How expected of the Carll family, one of the three strongest families of the empire and the family with the highest military power.
The staff mber then explained to us the ga chanism. The entire array was a labyrinth one kiloter long. Inside the labyrinth, we will face enemies starting from the weakest first-layer monster until eight-layer powerful beast.
The enemies are made of illusions, so their attacks won’t truly hurt us. Instead, each ti we receive an attack, our consciousness will receive a shock. If the attack is lethal, then our mind will shut down and we will faint.
The goal of the ga is to reach the end of the labyrinth in less than one hour. If we faint before reaching the end or fail to finish before the ti ends, then a staff mber will co for us and take us outside.
Simple enough, but very amazing at the sa ti. The person that designed this array deserves to be considered a genius. Even for , designing sothing like this needs a bit of work.
The girls, mainly Lena and Claire, were noticeably excited after hearing the explanation. Louise had already real battle experience, so she was not too excited. But even she seed eager to face an eighth-layer enemy, even if it was just an illusion.
After receiving the staff’s signal, we entered the array.
Instantly, our surroundings changed.
Instead of the festive ambient of Hidden Cave, we appeared in a dark and moist cave. Our vision was reduced to the minimum and strange noises could be heard from ti in ti.
To be honest, the atmosphere was a bit oppressive.
Lena and Claire shivered. Even Louise walked a bit closer to . I looked at them and shook my head amusedly.
Now I felt like a man taking his girlfriends inside a haunted house.
"... How dark." Lena whispered softly and grabbed the hem of my clothes. Claire was even more daring and grabbed my hand directly. When Louise saw it, she wrinkled her brows and shot a look of warning.
I smiled bitterly. Girl, do you think I’ll put my hands in every girl I see?
... Okay, I truly have ideas about this little fairy, but it doesn’t an that you have to be so suspicious.
I decided to ignore Louise’s piercing look and continued walking with the girls.
Before walking the first 100 ters, I felt our first enemy.
I had lowered my perception at the minimum to try to enjoy the ga, but even so, I was the first one to detect the monster.
However, a look at the monster and I decided to not tell the girls about it.
The three unsuspecting girls continued walking without detecting the presence of the monster. anwhile, the rat-like monster crawled slowly through the roof, approaching us with a hungry look.
Then suddenly, the monster jumped towards Lena.
*Screeeeeech!* A scream of hunger was accompanied by a set of razor-sharp teeth. The monster appeared instantly before Lena and opened its jaws wide.
"Kyaaaaa!" Lena cried in terror and jumped back. She hurriedly conjured an ice arrow and shot it...
... Towards .
I hurriedly pushed the ice arrow away with my hand, but in the next second, a sword was coming towards . This ti, Claire had swung her sword without looking to her enemy.
Moreover, Louise was conjuring a sixth-layer AoE spell in panic!
Girls, do you want to kill !?
I parried Claire’s sword with the poml of my sword and disrupted Louise’s spell with a bullet of raw mana. At the sa ti, I kicked the rat away.
*Kyuuuuuu...* The rat cried in pain and crashed against the wall. The next second, it turned into points of light and disappeared.
Looking at the three girls, Lena was hugging my arm in fear, Claire was still swinging her sword crazily, and Louise was hiding behind .
... I can’t believe a second-layer rat scared the hell of two fourth-layer practitioners and a sixth-layer mage.
.... By the way, Lena’s breasts feel soft.
