Chapter 29: Death Maze vs Sacred Lighthouse
update icon Updated at 2025/11/13 4:10:12

Henry's body gradually dissipated in the white light, and the entire space quieted down.

After waiting for a long time, Bai Yueguang spoke up.

"Hey, what are we waiting for?"

"Of course, we're waiting for the boss on the other side to show up."

"Is that so... But the problem is, we can't even see a trace of anything now, and there's no way out of this place. We're not trapped, are we?"

"Well..."

"It's very likely."

Ms. Mary also said.

"We were able to free the tower from the ruins because we had specific information, but the problem is that I don't know where we are in the tower right now, so I can't input any information to open the door to the king's location."

"Is that so? Are we really trapped here then?"

"Based on the current situation, it seems so."

"No way... The only thing we can attack right now is the floor... Are we supposed to dig a hole downwards?"

I looked at the thick floor and felt my mouth twitch.

Never mind how hard the floor is, this space itself is not normal, and whether there's a bottom is another question.

Looking closely at the traces we left during our fight earlier, besides some marks from magic brushing against the ground, there were no other fractures.

I thought for a moment, then took out the Ghost Breaker and forcefully stabbed it into the ground.

"Oh my god."

It seemed my intuition was confirmed. The Ghost Breaker only penetrated the floor by a centimeter or two. This is just...

"It seems digging down is going to be very difficult, so what do we do now?"

Taishi Xi also inserted her spear into the floor, leaving only a few small holes but no other damage.

But she looked clearly more disappointed. It seems she had confidence in her spear, but the current situation made her unhappy.

"Either we wait for that bastard to find us, or we find a special way out ourselves."

Ms. Mary thought for a moment, then continued.

"I think waiting for that bastard to find us is definitely not a good idea. Do we all agree?"

"Of course, but..."

"Why not ask the magical little toad?"

Suddenly, I thought of someone who is quite familiar with this tower... No, not a person, but a toad. Yes, it's the toad from the Death Maze.

I looked at Bai Yueguang, only to find the toad was actually lying on his shoulder... Sleeping.

...

I walked straight over and picked it up, and threw it to the ground.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

"Isn't it comfortable for the toad to sleep on your shoulder, Bai Yueguang?"

"Yes, it is~"

In the midst of his silly laughter, I directly inserted the Ghost Breaker into the floor next to it.

"Since you're so comfortable sleeping, why don't you tell us how we can leave this place?"

"Well..."

"What's wrong..."

"I only know about the Death Maze, not the Sacred Lighthouse. The specific information..."

"So can I understand that you're useless now?"

"No no no, I'm just saying I don't know, not..."

"Hey hey hey, even if you intimidate it, it won't help. Wouldn't it be better for us to think of other ways to solve the problem?"

Ms. Mary sighed.

"For example, we could respawn somewhere, you know."

Let a few of us form a team and kill them, so they can revive outside?

We have discussed before how to escape the maze in an emergency, and reviving points is one of the methods we came up with. However, dying once is not fun, even though we have developed a painless poison. But it still feels wrong.

"We haven't reached the point where we have to use that method, right? After all, it's not pleasant." I didn't mention dying once, since Oyado, Yabber, and Hei Luoli are still here.

"Well, what other methods do we have then? Dale and I tried to contact the airship outside to attack the tower, but there was no response. Not sure if our attacks were ineffective or our signals couldn't get out."

"Well..."

"But actually, you guys can break through this place to some extent."

Froppy's words got all of our attention.

"Well, then speak up!"

"Well... originally, this method wouldn't work, but you guys severed the connection between the Holy Lighthouse and the ruins, which made it possible. In fact, this space has a limited size, and it's a bit difficult for you guys to reach the edge. But this fabricated space can no longer change its size, because its energy source is gone. So..."

"So now we can try to fly towards the edge?"

"No, no, that way you won't be able to break through the walls."

"What do you mean then?"

"At that time, I still had a death maze that I could control freely!"

"..."

I looked at Froppy, pondered for a moment, and then smiled with satisfaction.

Break the tower from the inside?

"It seems like you're quite clever!"

"Well, of course, I am a genius!"

After saying that, Froppy raised his little claw, and a disc-shaped thing appeared above us.

"Death Maze · Infinite!"

The disc expanded at an extremely fast speed, in an instant, it had covered the entire sky, and the patterns of the maze's passages were clearly visible and enlarging.

Boom!

A loud noise came from all around, and the expansion of the maze stopped, causing the entire tower to tremble.

After a brief moment, the maze expanded a little more, and then there was a loud cracking sound. From a distance, I could see that the sky was actually splitting apart!

"What happens when a fabricated space and a real space come into contact?"

"Magic backlash?"

Only Ms. Mary could answer this quickly.

"Oh, Arcane · Imperial Palace of Ice!"

We were instantly wrapped in an ice wall, and at the same time, a strange impact came at us from all directions!
