Chapter 80: A Maze I

On the fourth floor of the 'Tower of Opportunity'.

Amidst a huge maze, spreading thousands of kilometers in radius. Two individuals wearing tattered clothes were seen advancing with all their might.

After facing hundreds of monsters with every twist and turn, the two of them looked dead tired.

Inside the maze, they could see a big sun and a vast sky on top of their heads.

The towering walls of the maze were made of a bunch of silver stones stacked on top of each other. Their tall height touched the vast blue sky.

Hundreds of tree vines were also descending from above, seemingly trying to wrap the silver stones together.

Even though the walls of the maze looked very weak and feeble but the silver stones didn't even move slightly when the two individuals used their most powerful attacks on them.

One of the two individuals who was at the front cursed loudly. His golden hair fluttered as he killed another monster.

Even though his clothes were tattered, they were luxurious like royals.

The person standing behind him also didn't look weak or poor as he radiated an elegant and powerful aura.

Suddenly the individual standing behind the golden hair youth spoke with a tired face.

"It's the 79th monster we encounter, Prince Kelvin."

Prince Kelvin looked back at his companion with a frown.

"Jian, I think you should lead. I can't carry on, I am tired."

Jian who had light red hair showed a teary expression, indicating he was too tired to even move.

"Sigh, okay let's rest for a while."

With the permission of Prince Kelvin both of them sat beside the silver stone wall.

Prince Kelvin was the second son of King Foraan who is the current ruler of 'Kingdom Whiteland' and Jian was his childhood friend.

Both of them grew up together, the only difference was that Prince Kelvin awakened (+S)-Rank talent while Jian awakened the legendary (+SSS)-Rank.

Still, even after that their friendship never changed.

They knew each other from a very young age, there was no way they would become distant just because one of them awakened a low talent.

Also, after entering the Tower they were easily able to locate each other because King Foraan made some special arrangements for them before they left the Kingdom.

The King called an old array master who drew a V-shaped special symbol on their wrist.

With the help of that V-shaped symbol, Jian and Kelvin were able to locate each other inside the Tower.

Jian who was sitting beside Kelvin glanced at his tired face.

'I feel like crying, I never knew we were so unfortunate.'

His thoughts wandered around, from the moment they left the Kingdom to the moment they arrived on the fourth floor, they faced so many problems that even Jian the person who was always serious wanted to cry.

First, after arriving at the city around the Tower they lost the precious 'Scroll' King Foraan gave them when they left for the Tower.

Not just the scroll, they lost all their weapons and accessories.

Of course, the dam thief was never found even when Price Kelvin deployed all his forces.

It was like they were plagued with bad luck because after the scroll, they lost all the mana stones and money they bought with them.

Making it impossible for them to buy new weapons for themselves.

Still, with the help of some elders who came with them, the problem of money and weapons was solved.

Both Jian and Kelvin finally sighed with relief, thinking now everything will be fine.

After entering the Tower, just like they decided Jian hurriedly found Prince Kelvin, but the moment he found him they were chased around by two Boss monsters.

In the end, the only thing they did on the first floor was to run for their life.

After the first floor, the experience on the second floor was also very bad. Leaving a very bad taste inside Jian's mouth.

The third floor was better as after meeting each other on that floor they found some incredible fruits but now it seemed they used all of their luck on the third floor.

Because the moment they appeared on the fourth floor, they have been fighting nonstop.

They didn't find a single clue regarding the maze surrounding them.

With every turn they took new monsters would emerge, heck they even almost died a few hours ago when a (-C)-Rank monster suddenly pounced on them.

It was all thanks to the past experiences of running around on the first and second floor did they survive or else Jian was sure he would have probably perished together with his dear friend.

After resting for a while, Kelvin stood up and sighed.

"Let's continue we have to find a way out of this maze."

Jian nodded and also stood up while trying to wipe his non-existent tears.

.....

Meanwhile, after disappearing from the third floor. Kyle appeared in front of a huge open majestic gate.

He looked back and saw nothing except white walls and clouds.

"There's no other way, we have to enter inside the gate."

Bia who was beside him also looked at the gate with curiosity.

The gate was made of silver stones with long tree vines dangling around it.

With a deep breath, Kyle stepped inside the gate, only to see long towering silver stone walls surrounding him from all sides.

He walked toward the nearest wall and tried to punch it with full power.

-BOOM!

A loud sound reverted inside the empty path, but the stone wall didn't even budge from its place.

On the other hand, Bia who was hovering above Kyle finally spoke seeing the long walls and strange paths.

-'It's a maze.'

"A maze?"

Kyle blinked his eyes.

"Hmm, It seems it's true that the Tower floors are altered every time after the third floor because a maze has never appeared inside the Tower before."

After looking around, Bia went toward Kyle.

-'The walls are too tall, I don't think I will be able to reach their edges.'

Kyle sighed. It seems for the fourth floor he has to find the exit of this maze or else he won't be able to advance further.
