Chapter 173: The light within the darkness Part7

Xavier immediately stepped forward as he cut down a few of the spiders surrounding him. 

This was too risky. They needed to retreat a few steps back and observe the situation away from this chaotic spot.

He sent out a few more sword slashes clearing the low-leveled spiders in his path.

But unfortunately, the few he killed were almost instantly replaced by a few more undead spiders.

Everyone was frantically attacking the spiders swarming them non-stop from all directions. Toxic ooze and green spit flew everywhere.

Xavier looked at the situation pensively. Something was definitely off. 

More and more spiders were pouring onto them without any break.

He shook his head and decided to not waste any further time here.

If it was him, he could have effortlessly handled these messy insects, but Tang Yue was also there.

Xavier quickly bit his index finger, drew blood, and activated a movement art.

He was just about to grab Tang Yue who was fighting next to him and flee from here, but unfortunately, it was already too late.

Swarms of bloody plagued spiders with a thick stench of death surrounded them from all directions.

Where could they go? How could they move?

Spiders seemed to be even coming in from the tunnel they had previously used to enter this section. 

There was no entrance or exit anymore. Skittering noises echoed everywhere and drove everyone crazy.

Xavier acted fast and quickly made a sweeping circle with his majestic pitch-black sword.

With Tang Yue and him standing in the center, he skillfully handled the horde of undead spiders that was literally pouring on to them from everywhere.

The others including Tang Xi were in similar situations, well in worse situations to be more precise.

While Tang Yue had the Saint realm expert to hold things at bay, the others were single-handedly stuck struggling with this never-ending undead spider army.

Everyone relentlessly slashed at the spiders without even caring about being drenched in toxic fluids, but the horde still kept coming.

“It is too risky to allow things to continue like this.” Xavier muttered.

Tang Yue nodded. She was also very anxious about this strange situation and was very close to using her ‘Lucky Sticker’. 

All she had to do was issue a single mental command to buy and use a lucky sticker and it would be activated instantly. 

But this was her last resort so she decided to wait until there was no other option left.

Right now, even though they were surrounded from all directions, these spiders were still only low-leveled beasts.

So she was able to handle them decently.

The group continued clearing the spiders for a few more minutes hoping that this had to end sometime sooner or later.

But suddenly something unexpected happened…

The ground which they were standing on quaked and the floor underneath them crumbled.

In the blink of an eye, the ten people standing on that section fell into the darkness underneath, along with the spiders that were drowning them.

Xavier reacted fast and reached out to grab Tang Yue but he was just a step too late. 

It felt as if an invisible spell forcefully separated all of them and threw them away into different corners.

“Damn it. I knew that I should have done something.” The elf gripped his sword.

Xavier used everything in his power to rush down towards the direction in which Tang Yue had fallen but he couldn’t see anything at all.

He tried materializing a ball of fire in his hand, but even that was swallowed in the darkness.

By now, he was sure that some sort of spell formation had activated when they had defeated that huge spider, resulting in the millions and millions of lower-level spider hatchlings invading them.

And now probably, another spell formation had activated to separate out everyone.

This darkness should be a part of it too. Xavier closed his eyes and tried to focus his mind and his soul sense.

He tried his best to recognize something in the darkness but unfortunately, everything was still pitch black. All his senses were shut off.

He was still falling down and Tang Yue as well was probably lost somewhere within this endless void.

“I am sorry, brother.” He muttered and clenched his fists. “I was not careful enough.” He sighed and continued to fall down.

The darkness around him soon dissipated and Xavier was finally able to see his surroundings.

It looked like he had fallen through some sort of teleportation portal and landed in another part of the same labyrinth.

He rotated his cultivation base and slowed down his fall, but even otherwise he doubted that the fall itself would have killed him.

The more he analyzed the things which they had come across in this labyrinth, the more it looked like these were all part of someone’s elaborate training ground or rather a testing arena.

Xavier was not too interested in this labyrinth before, but now he was fully focused.

From all of these elaborate spell formations and undead beast traps, he could tell that most probably a treasured inheritance or legacy from a higher being was hidden in this labyrinth.

Something that could probably shake the entire Xion!

The elf looked up with his sharp ruthless eyes and surveyed his new surroundings. The same familiar rocky interiors with pitch-black stalactites greeted him.

There was a path that extended deeper into the labyrinth and a few grey-skinned undead lizards scurried around.

Xavier retrieved his sword and slashed down a couple of lizards that were inching towards him from the darkness.

Now that he was alone and there was no one else to drag him down, his speed was astronomically faster.

He slashed down everything in his path and headed inward at top speed.

If what he assumed was correct, then the elves needed to get this treasure at all costs. He needed to join his brother and help him.

Otherwise, the fragile balance which existed between the Nine nations would soon become history.
