Chapter 662 - Mt. Thunder Maze I
When Adrian remembered Yinyue, he brushed the idea away and thought that it must have been his overactive imagination. A god or goddess reincarnating into a human would mean that they will lose 95% of their divinity as humans are not divine by nature.
Those who sat loftily in a high position will never be able to bear the position of someone lower than what they had. Adrian wanted to absolutely deny the idea that suddenly popped into his head but something at the back of his mind is gnawing at him that he might actually be right.
“Why are you spacing out? Did you hear what I just said?” Peridot asked Adrian as she has been speaking for about five minutes when the latter is no longer replying to her.
“Sorry about that. I suddenly spaced out as I was thinking about something. What did you say?” Adrian stated.
“I said that we are already in front of the maze inside Mt. Thunder.” Peridot stated.. 𝘭𝒾𝒷𝓇𝘦𝑎𝑑.𝒸ℴ𝓂
“Ok then you must lead the way as you probably already have a layout of the maze.” Adrian stated but Peridot looked at him with a slight bit of irritation as she discovered that he did not hear anything that she said about the maze.
“You seriously did not hear anything that I have just said a while ago. The maze in Mt. Thunder is special because of the walls that make it.” Peridot stated.
“Why is it special?” Adrian asked.
“See for yourself as it is now starting.” Peridot stated as she pointed towards the entrance of the maze.
A loud electric buzzing sound filled the room, and something suddenly passed through Adrian’s vision. The walls of the maze are moving but it is not being controlled by something. The passing electric current is making the walls of the maze move as if they are magnetized to certain parts.
The movement of the walls are erratic and random to the point that even Adrian could not pinpoint a pattern. The maze in Mt. Thunder is a famous maze that is known by all of the youths in the eastern continent as a test of patience and perseverance.
If someone wanted to blitz to the whole maze, then they might suddenly get hit by a moving wall or worse get killed by it. They have tried destroying the moving walls but that has never succeeded due to the special nature of the rock that makes up the wall.
“Those moving walls are made up of Adamantium Lodestones. It is not the metal Adamantium that you see in the central continent but a completely different one. Hitting one is like being hit by a superpowered truck. Sorry bad reference.” Peridot stated as she suddenly remembered on how Adrian’s feet got paralyzed.
“I do not mind. Anyways, one hit from that Adamantium Lodestone and we will be gone. Just like that?” Adrian stated as he gestured dying by being hit by a flying rock.
“You are correct as the Adamantium Lodestone is not only durable but also supercharged with the lightning element. It might look lightweight because of the way it glides but it is actually incredibly heavy. One fist of the Adamantium Lodestone is about a thousand pounds.” Peridot stated which even made Adrian shocked as he realized how heavy the stone was.
“If we enter in our spirit forms, will we be able to safely bypass the Adamantium Lodestones?” Adrian asked as he wanted to know if they can easily traverse the maze.
“I do not know but we can test it out.” Peridot stated. 𝒍𝒊𝒃𝓻𝒆𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝙤𝒎
“You do not mean that I should gladly offer myself? Even if I can revive on the spot, I will not waste it on testing something out.” Adrian stated as he suddenly hugged himself.
“Relax. Even I know that it would be a waste. Who else would be our meat shield later if we get into an inescapable situation?” Peridot stated.
“Oh! Okay…Hey!” Adrian exclaimed with his first emotion being happy then a small bit of annoyance being looked at like a meat shield.
“Memory of the Earth.” Peridot stated as the five gems floating behind her suddenly dropped to the ground.
The five gems that formed a circle on the ground suddenly rotated as they rose. The five gems rose, and it also brought up the soil inside of the circle formation. The soil rose about to Peridot’s height and slowly formed to her like ness.
In about two minutes a clay soldier that looked like Peridot appeared. The clay soldier then suddenly started to have color that matched with what Peridot is like. It is no longer a normal clay soldier as it could pass off as Peridot due to the elaborate design of the clay soldier.
“This clay soldier is connected to me which means that it has my soul in its body.” Peridot stated.
“I can see that it has a small piece of your soul attached to it.” Adrian replied as he could see it clearly.
“Apply your Spirit Form Transformation on it. I will command it to try and stand on the way of a moving Adamantium Lodestone.” Peridot stated and Adrian could not help but give her a thumbs up for the great idea. It is a great idea because Adrian did not need to sacrifice his revive to test out the theory.
Adrian applied Spirit Form Transformation on the clay soldier that looks exactly like Peridot. She then commanded it to stand inside of the maze and the group waited for the Adamantium Lodestones to move once again.
Theoretically, the clay soldier will not be destroyed if hit by the Adamantium Lodestone, but expectations will never exceed reality. The ghostly clay soldier shattered into dust upon being hit by the Adamantium Lodestone. Peridot received the rebound of the damage and lost 5% of her health as a result.
“I guess this just means that we must do this the old fashion way.” Adrian stated as he let Sirius lead the way.
