Chapter 43: Labyrinth 6

As everyone was trying to forget their trauma from popcorn Morana's next words were a good distraction.

"How come Sara's earth trial is about being a hero saving a beauty while Emir has a task to give birth to baby dragons?" Asked Morana as she looked at Zeki.

Others also couldn't understand how a fire trial became a babymaking trial.

Zeki couldn't help but feel a headache.

"The trials are all different depending on the person themselves, If anyone else took fire trial it wouldn't be the same."

"So, it's not that something is wrong with the trial but something is wrong with Emir?" Cliff asked but everyone already knew the answer.

They all decided not to pay attention to Emir's colorful travels and concentrated on the other two.

At this Time Shio also had some movements. He managed to cut through the shark from inside and came out.

Luckily he found the water stone in the shark's stomach together with their teammates' remains and after killing the shark he continued his journey back to the deep sea in order to enter the trial hall once again.

After coming into the hall he found that both Sara and emir were passed out and figured they were still in the trial. 

He first went to the Air altar and placed the stone but it did not react except, lighting up he then decided to place water stone and finally blue and green mana engulfed him and Shio also passed out.

The last thing he heard was

"Merging water and air trial

Trial begins."

The next thing he knows is waking up on the beach. After looking around a bit he found out that he was on some kind of island.

The island was not too big or too small and after a few hours of exploring Shio concluded that he was alone on the island, but he was very confused about what he had to do.

Since he wasn't dead he concluded that time-flow in trial and outside was different, but he didn't know how long he had left.

"Since it's a water and air trial maybe I should try to leave the island by the sea?" He didn't have any better ideas, so he started cutting down the trees and building a small boat. It was unknown how long he would have to be in the sea or what kind of dangers lurked there so he couldn't use his powers like in the labyrinth before.

Shipbuilding didn't take him too long as an armaments master building one wasn't much trouble for him and after a few hours, it was all done and ready.

At the same time, Sara arrived at the enemy's hideout the golems here weren't like the once in the labyrinth they were made out of only earth ability so with her Ice affinity dealing with them was easier but it was still very straining.

The sheer quantity of the golems was overwhelming.

After hours of fighting and dozens of mana replenishing potions, Sara finally broke through the defense when she walked inside the building she couldn't help but be shocked at the sight.

Compared to what she expected 300 women taken before were just fine, no more than fine. They didn't look malnourished or mistreated. In the middle was a man in his thirties, crouched down, injured from mana overuse.

And everyone looked at her vigilantly as if she was the bad guy.

"No, believe me, I came to save you. I swear." Said Sara and then received even more distrustful looks.

"I am with the guild, I took a quest. The village chief said this man kidnapped you."

Understanding what was going on one woman spoke

"He didn't kidnap us, he saved us."

"What?"

But before they could say anything more a powerful attack fell on Sara from behind blasting her.

She barely managed to put up a defense and almost died from the attack but she was greatly injured.

"Hahahahaha, I must say miss Sara, I didn't have high expectations but you really surprised me."  As the voice fell Sara saw Gino, the village chief together with other villagers.

The kind old man from before now had a disgustingly creepy and greedy expression now.

"You...You lied to me."

"Oh come on I wouldn't say I lied, I just didn't tell the whole truth." Said Gino with a smug grin on his face.

"Ohh so he was a bad guy huh? What a twist, I didn't see that coming." Said Morana while eating blue popcorn this time.

Her words would be very believable if not her nonchalant face.

Zoel remembered that blue popcorn was the 'joker' flavor he ate before so he couldn't help but ask.

"Why are you fine when you eat this popcorn?" His question also drew others' attention.

"This only works on people who have emotions, I don't have any so of course, I am immune. So, I can enjoy the popcorn without any side effects, in the first place they were designed as a defense mechanism for people who tried to steal my food."

Everyone couldn't help but feel speechless when hearing Morana's answer. Every time they thought they had seen it all this boy (girl) would shatter their worldviews again and again.

While they were still immersed in their thoughts Sara and Gino were still deadlocked neither able to advance.

"Miss Sara, we don't want to harm you, just hand over these women and we will let you go." Said Gino.

"What about this guy?" Asked Sara.

"Miss Sara please don't make things difficult." 

"I would rather die fighting than go with you." Said one woman and others also followed.

"Yeah that's right we won't be your slaves again."

"We won't participate in your dirty sacrifices."

"SHUT UP. You will do as you're told." Said Gino then motioned men behind him to take action only to be attacked by Sara.

"You know, people like you really disgust me. Men who think they can get whatever they want and only know how to use their power on the weak.

Get it inside your thick skull that, when a woman says NO, IT MEANS NO." Said Sara as she drank healing and mana regeneration potions and started attacking with her ice once again.

Because of anger, the shy and quiet girl completely turned into a killing machine. 

She was especially angry when she found out this scum were planning to use all these girls as a sacrifice to gain power.
