Chapter 112 Faunus
Ding-a-ling~~
A clear, crisp bell sound suddenly appeared in the distance, replacing the faint murmur.
The sound of bells drifted from seven or eight directions along the maze's corridors toward this open space, one after another, at a leisurely pace.
The wind in the maze has stopped.
Chris stood still, all the changes around him now gone.
The number of quicksand-like light spots contained within the holy seal pattern of the wind avatar in the hexagonal mark on the back of his hand seemed to have increased.
At that moment, he didn't have time to examine the changes happening to his body more closely.
Chris unconsciously rubbed the guardian ring on his little finger as his gaze swept forward, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.
A black cat that can appear and disappear out of thin air, a strange little snake that can control the flesh monster, an unknown giant skeleton, and a labyrinth surrounded by a strange tree wall that grows infinitely and has a sealed entrance.
Now that he has obtained the fragment of the yellow cloth, how can he leave this place?
Just as Chris stood there, pondering a solution, a familiar warmth suddenly welled up from the depths of his soul.
"This is... the power of the Holy Seal."
This power, which was originally completely under his control, suddenly became restless at this moment.
Chris had a thought, and instead of suppressing the strange movement, he let the warm power slowly spread throughout his body.
The yellow mist that was slowly floating around him suddenly trembled slightly.
Chris could clearly feel that the stagnant air in the entire open space seemed to tremble at the same time.
Furthermore, he noticed that the source of the tremor was not the yellow mist floating around him.
It was not the power of the holy seal within him.
Chris carefully sensed that the source of the tremor seemed to be underground.
His gaze involuntarily turned towards the center of the open space.
The tremor was emanating from the ground beneath the location of the skeleton.
At that moment, the black cat and the small snake coiled above the monster's head also turned their gazes and stared intently at the ground beneath.
A vast, cold, and chaotic aura, carried by the vibrations of the air currents, seeped into Chris's senses.
Even a mere wisp of energy made Chris's temples throb, and countless tiny voices seemed to whisper in his mind. His spiritual vision automatically activated, and the world within it began to distort slightly.
The outline of the Star Key instantly took shape in his mind.
Absolute calm instantly enveloped my entire body, and the whispers and distortions vanished in an instant.
Chris's gaze returned to the center of the open space, his eyes filled with seriousness.
Suddenly, fragments of information appeared in his mind.
"The spirit world... Faunus... Mother..."
Chris had no idea what these fragmented words were trying to convey.
He noticed that the tremor suddenly disappeared.
Along with it, that chilling aura also vanished.
Chris's gaze involuntarily turned forward again.
He ignored the small snake that might be on his side, disregarded the ferocious monster beneath it, and looked at the black cat standing on the tree wall.
At the same time, a pair of vertical pupils gleaming with purple light met Chris's gaze directly.
In the instant their eyes met, Chris clearly saw a faint trace of weariness and a barely perceptible warning in those cat-like eyes.
Chris stood still, without moving or releasing any extraordinary power, simply staring calmly at the black cat.
The black cat was just fighting with me for that piece of yellow cloth.
At this moment, the fragments of yellow cloth had turned into yellow mist and surrounded him, so why did the black cat seem so unconcerned?
A hint of doubt flashed in Chris's eyes.
Two seconds later, the black cat suddenly stood up, flicked its fluffy tail, and leaped into the air.
Its figure darted and weaved among the intertwined branches before disappearing completely into the dense foliage, leaving no trace.
Seeing this, Chris couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He slowly withdrew the yellow mist and re-entered it into the holy seal.
At the same time, he turned his head and looked at the little snake.
He knew very well that with his current strength, he was simply no match for that monster.
The black cat has disappeared, and the purpose of the little snake leading him here should soon be revealed.
The other party clearly possesses extremely high intelligence.
Chris wouldn't be surprised whether it was telepathic communication or direct speech.
He stood still, making no attempt to escape or make any threatening moves, waiting for the other party to initiate communication.
jingle.
A familiar bell sound suddenly rang out behind Chris.
A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes as he looked at the little snake, his vigilance instantly heightened.
The sound of this bell, like the bells that had suddenly appeared all around us earlier, appeared out of nowhere.
This could only be the work of that little snake.
Just as Chris was pondering, the little snake suddenly raised its head and flicked its forked tongue in the direction behind Chris.
"leave……"
A tender, youthful voice suddenly rang in Chris's mind.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, his brows suddenly relaxed, and he immediately turned to look behind him.
The tree wall behind them, which was airtight and filled with black, viscous substance, suddenly made a series of soft cracking sounds.
Those thick tree trunks, tightly intertwined, seemed to come alive, slowly separating to both sides.
The black, viscous substance in the tree cracks quickly disappeared, revealing a long, straight corridor.
At the end of the corridor was a blinding light, completely out of place with the dim and oppressive atmosphere of the maze.
This is……
Chris's pupils contracted slightly as he turned to look at the small snake on the monster's head again.
The little snake remained coiled there, nodding its oval head slightly at him, its pure black eyes revealing a hint of almost human-like expectation.
Chris understood instantly.
The other party opened a way for me to leave this place.
Thank you.
Chris nodded slightly to the little snake, his voice very low.
He didn't know why this extraordinary creature had lured him in, nor why it wanted to let him leave.
But right now, leaving this eerie fragment of the spirit world is the safest option.
The little snake seemed to understand Chris's thanks, its tail tip swaying gently, and a bell sound emanating from the monster's body.
Chris didn't hesitate any longer.
He glanced one last time at the ground in the center of the open space, then at the direction of the tree wall where the black cat had disappeared, before turning around and quickly stepping into the corridor leading to the light.
The corridor was dimly lit, and the tree-lined walls on both sides remained motionless, without any further strange changes.
Chris focused on walking forward, ignoring the commotion around him, his Wind Avatar power constantly extended, alert to any possible anomalies.
He could clearly feel that as he went further and further away, the slightly rotten smell of the maze became more and more distant, and the stagnant air began to move again.
The familiar sounds of the forest wind and insects gradually seeped into my ears.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the light ahead grew brighter and brighter.
The moment he took his last step out of the corridor, the surrounding darkness completely dissipated.
The blinding sunlight hit him, carrying the fresh scent of the forest and the cool evening breeze of early autumn, instantly enveloping his entire body.
Chris stopped abruptly and instinctively looked back.
There was no corridor or tree-wall maze behind us.
There was only a dense forest, with thick tree trunks stretching straight to the sky, branches and leaves intertwined, and sunlight filtering through the gaps, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
The maze that had trapped him had vanished without a trace, like a hallucination that had never happened.
