Zoel's POV
After Zeki answered all our questions the four chose their stones. As the trials would have sothing to do with the type of stone one chose, Shio took the air stone, Emir took fire, short girl Sara took earth, and the last annoying guy who's na I honestly couldn't be bothered to rember took water.
After sending four contestants in all that was left was to wait. I had faith in Shio, but I don't know about others.
I hope they won't hold him back. If sothing happened to him, I don't know how I will look his parents in the eyes, after all he ca here to accompany .
As I thought about the reason why we were here, I could not help looking at my sister. Even though she was dressed as a boy she was an exact image of my mother.
Though our encounter was nothing like I imagined. I have to admit that her killing these two people back then did surprise , but she was our baby, our treasure, and after everything that happened to her even if she destroyed the whole lower realm I would not bear to bla her.
Currently my sister was nestling in the arms of that eyesore of a kidnapper, sleeping soundly. One would think she was on a vocation and not trapped in Dream city.
I couldn't help staring at her cuteness and it instantly made unhappy when I realized I was not the only one staring.
That bastard Ezra was also staring at my sister and then at with realization and then he threw a provoking smile.
I was sure he guessed who Rana was, well it wasn't that hard now everyone in the high realm knew about my sister after all and so did Ezra.
and Ezra go way back, one could say we were born as rivals. Our fathers are good friends, so we have known each other before we were able to speak and I don't exaggerate when I say that we didn't like each other since then.
We always competed for this or that and had lots of duels. Currently I had 378 draws, 127 wins, and 125 loses against him.
And yeah, we counted everything. Don't look at how handso and cool he looks he is so childish and even though I try to be a bigger person I completely lose it when it cos to this guy.
Just as I was imrsed in my thoughts, I heard the host's voice as four screens appeared in front of us showing our team mbers.
"Everyone you may observe what's going on in the labyrinth through this." Said Zeki and instantly everyone's attention was drawn to the screens.
Shio was quite fine, he was advancing very fast without struggle and even though only five minutes have passed since they started he has already passed one-fourth of the labyrinth.
The second person that was not far behind him was the quiet and shy girl Sara. Sara was quite short, with pixie cut pink hair and blue eyes.
I was quite surprised when I saw how easily she passed through the labyrinth. It seems she had so kind of detection ability.
Compared to Shio who had speed and strength and dealt with everything quickly she just didn't et any danger and advanced steadily.
Looks like I won't have to worry about her at least.
On the other hand the other two guys worried quite a bit.
Emir was now in a wasteland that seems to have unbearably high temperature and he was attacked by fire ants, large fire ants no matter how many he killed they kept coming from back, front, left, right and from the ground.
At first ants were quite small, but as more kept coming their sizes also grew and now most of them were about the size of a large dog.
In addition, he already had more than a few bites on his arms and legs and in about ten minutes into the labyrinth the ants size of a human started appearing and finally the queen was here.
Her sharp screech was so loud that even we felt if from the screens, I could feel people around shuddering.
As the queen appeared Emir pulled out his sword from the last ant's body and got ready for the fight. The next second he held the sword with both hands as it was covered in orange lightning.
"So, this guy has a mutated lightning huh?" I heard Ezra mutter next to .
I was also quite surprised as it was quite rare to et soone with mutated lightning powers in the lower realm.
"Co on you ugly piece of shi*t" Scread Emir as he dashed towards the fire ant queen.
"SCREETCHHHHH" The ant queen also screeched at him as she started throwing fireballs with her mouth.
Emir avoided the attacks as he got close to the ant and cut one of her legs off resulting in another screech form from the queen.
"Ha, ha how was the taste of my heavenly lightning sword slash? Okay, that needs so work but who cares bahahaha, anyway no one knows about it." My face could not help but darken as I felt like I was watching sothing I should not be and seems like I was not the only one as I heard quite a few coughs around .
But the very next second our attention was drawn towards another screen where that annoying guy was shown as we heard a loud scream and the next second the screen turned dark and our sight was cut off.
"What the hell happened?" Asked Cliff but everyone else was just as confused.
"Did anyone see what happened?" Asked Sophia.
"I was too imrsed in Emir's fight and didn't notice what happened." Said Ron.
"I also didn't see anything." Said the girl with blond hair and brown eyes nad Emily.
"He was killed." I heard the kidnappers voice, Samael. I think my sister called him that. As everyone looked at him as he continued.
"He was eaten, to be precise. So he's dead and soone needs to get his stone. Right?" He said as he looked at the host.
We also looked at Zeki for answers only to see him nod.
