The Villain's Story

Chapter [97]What Is This Control?!{2}

"Oh come on! Why does it have to be a desert?!"

Shouted Elaine as she wiped the sweat off her brows.

"Just deal with it for a little longer, We'll find the exit soon."

Replied Elijah, Who was seemingly fine under the scorching heat of the fake sun in the labyrinth.

"Deal with it?! None of us have the fire element affinity except for you! Just look at Mila!"

Shouted Elaine in a tired voice as she pointed toward another person on Elijah's Team, Mila who had the water element and was probably in the worst environment for her.

Elijah looked towards his other teammates, who were in a similar situation as Elaine.

Sweating buckets, heavy and tired footsteps, and most importantly not in the best condition to fight.

'We can't go on like this..'

Elijah thought, he liked this heat more, it strengthened his attacks and most importantly made him comfortable.

He preferred this type of heat, and this was why he was having a blast on this floor.

The floor he would soon hate was the next one, which was why he wanted to spend a little more time here.

But seeing the state of his teammates he concluded that they should leave now.

And so, he focused his mana on his eyes and activated a skill.

[[God Eyes]has been Activated.]

A skill equal in level to the almighty dragon eyes at this stage.

It was the first skill he received along with [DECIMATION].

The only problem he had was that it flooded his head with all kinds of information and made his eyes and ears bleed if he used it too much.

Immediately upon activating the skill, he ordered it to give him a clear map-like view of the entire floor.

What he was looking for was a hurricane.

Crazy as it may sound, it was the gate towards the next floor.

However, if you entered it one by one you had a chance of losing your teammates.

This was why holding onto your teammates when entering the tornado was the best choice.

The only thing left would be your grip strength.

As Elijah looked towards the map shown to him by the God Eyes, he soon found the location of the tornado, which was so far and so small that it couldn't be seen until one was close to it.

'Southeast.'

He noted down where the tornado was in his mind.

"Elijah, you okay?"

Snapping him out of his mind was Elaine's concerned voice.

She was worried for him, because now,

His eyes were blood red and tears of blood ran down his eyes. His ears and nose also bled.

But he now knew where the exit was.

"Let's continue, I have a gut feeling that it's this way."

And so, he led his team towards hurricanes' general direction.

[Sabrina's PoV]

It's hot

It's terrible.

I want to descend to the floor underneath quickly.

'If I remember correctly, the path to the next floor is a tornado.'

My memory is great, I knew that but the problem was where this tornado was.

While I was thinking, the ground beneath us started to shake, the grains of sand forming a whirlpool underneath our feet.

I, as well as most of our team immediately moved away before our feet got stuck in the whirlpool of sand.

The monster that created this whirlpool was a bloodsucker worm.

Usually ten meters long and possessing a row of teeth so sharp it could drill into metal easily.

When I looked towards the whirlpool, I was gathering my mana to attack it...until I saw my bodyguard standing still in the middle of it.

'What is he doing?!'

I thought to myself, and just as I was about to send him a message through the mysterious Spatial bond.

Disaster had already stuck.

Alan had jumped up, and beneath him appeared a deadly worm the size of a building, making its way upwards towards Alan, who in response changed his position into a diving one and thrusted his spear.

The deadly maw of the worm with terrifying teeth went against the spear clad in pure white mana collided.

*Kyaaa!*

The death cry of the worm resounded as it fell back on the sand, lifeless.

Before I could think any further, I felt myself fall into the sand.

'Another one?!'

I thought to myself as my vision slowly became filled with the yellow color of the million grains of sand around me.

I closed my eyes and pretty soon, I couldn't feel anything supporting me from the ground.

It was then that my body shifted.

And I opened my eyes....only to find an endless white beneath me.

And I, hundred of meters up in the sky falling towards the white.

I screamed reflexively at this point.

Who wouldn't when they suddenly found themselves in this position?!

As I took the form of an X to lighten my fall, I turned my head and saw my other teammates, screaming their lungs out as well...all except for one.

The same one who was probably responsible for this situation, and the only one who, instead of taking an X Position, was diving into the endless sea of white.

[What are you doing?! And what is happening?!"]

I shouted to him through the mysterious spatial bond only to be left baffled by his response.

[Calm down, the heat up there was unbearable for me, so I took a shortcut.]

Shortcut?!

[Shortcut to our death?! Even the Instructors won't be able to save us now!]

Is he crazy?

'...wait.'

I suddenly brought up the memory of me feeding him a potion when he had severe injuries from trying out some move beyond his capabilities.

Ah, I had given him a name too.

The Suicidal idiot.

It would appear that I, who had survived countless assassination attempts, one attempted ****, and even multiple poisons put into my food.

Was going to die at the hands of my bodyguard, the one who was supposed to 'protect' me.
