From Human to Skeleton: Revived with Infinite System Crystals Chapter 214: Trap Needles

Pegasus, after a mont of thoughtful consideration, shared his analysis. "Regardless, this at least leads us to a 50/50 on a path to take, in my opinion," he stated, trying to bring so clarity to their decision-making process.

Nana, placing a finger under her chin, pondered the options before them. "Given the situation we are in, it's likely we will face so level of challenge at so point, and it will have to take place in a large area," she reasoned. "In that case, if we take the first corridor, the furthest most left, then it's likely we make so type of loop or encounter another trap.

But if we take the middle path, it leads to think it's likely to lead to an open area where whatever threat is waiting, we will have the chance to face it."

Her logical approach to the labyrinth's layout and potential dangers provided a new perspective on their choices. The group considered her words, understanding that each corridor they faced was a calculated risk.

Todd, who had been quietly listening to the discussion, finally spoke up. "Sounds like we have a plan then. The middle path might be our best bet for moving forward," he agreed, his voice carrying a renewed sense of purpose. "It's a risk, but at least we know what we might be dealing with."

Todd, still looking a bit perplexed, added his own thoughts to the mix. "That is a good idea, but just in case we still encounter traps, we should stay on our toes as we go down either corridor. I'm good with going down the 5th corridor. What do you say, Pegasus?"

Pegasus, without hesitation, grabbed the hilt of his katana. "I do like the idea," he stated, his voice reflecting his readiness for what lay ahead. As he withdrew his blade, the hilt, rough leather laced with a blue cord, slowly wrapped around his fingers. The katana itself was perfectly shined, its mirror-like surface catching the light and reflecting their determined faces.

Nana, a bit confused by Pegasus' action, questioned him. "Why are you drawing your sword out though?" she asked, though she couldn't help but admire the weapon's craftsmanship. "It does have a pretty shine to it though, if I have to say."

Pegasus, trying to maintain his composure, explained his reasoning. "Well, if we run into any surprises like flas, gas, or worse, I don't want to waste precious seconds drawing my blade," he stated, a hint of seriousness in his tone. "I have a bit of a shaky hand before I get fully going.

So, I think this might be the best course of action." As he spoke, he absently rubbed the side of his head, betraying a hint of nervousness beneath his calm exterior.

Nana, contemplating Pegasus' words, pulled out her wand. "I suppose that does make sense," she conceded as she began to lead the way down the fifth corridor. "Well, no ti like the present. Let's get going." Her voice carried a mix of determination and a slight unease about the path ahead.

Todd, following closely behind her, couldn't help but comnt, "You really want to get out of here, huh?"

Nana gave a slight nod in response, her eyes fixed on the corridor stretching out before them. "To be honest, this place is just creepy overall, so I just want to—" Her words were abruptly cut off as she felt the ground beneath her sink an inch. A loud snapping noise resonated from above and below, filling the corridor with an ominous echo.

Stunned for only a mont, Todd was suddenly struck by a massive boulder that had appeared from behind, sending him flying forward about 20 feet. Struggling against the imnse force, he managed to physically stop it, his strength on full display.

But before they could react further, another snap echoed through the corridor as the walls opened up, releasing hundreds of needles that shot out toward Nana.

Pegasus, seeing the imminent danger, quickly attempted to dive in front of Nana. She, in turn, went to snap her fingers, holding her wand in her free hand. The blast she produced ca out in weakened forms, disrupting only a few of the incoming needles. "Shit, I still can't use my power fully," Nana cursed, her frustration evident.

Just then, Pegasus, with a quick pull on her collar, slid in front of her. "Moon Cycle Slash," he shouted, performing a crescent moon strike. Two needles plunged into his back, but he didn't falter. With precision and speed, he struck all the needles away in quick succession, spinning around to catch the rest of the needles that were propelled toward him.

In the midst of the chaos, Pegasus had been effectively deflecting the needles with precision. However, just as he was about to comnt on his injury, saying, "Ouch, looks like I got—," the ceiling abruptly opened up, releasing a dozen more needles in a silent, deadly descent.

Nana, noticing the new danger, acted quickly. Drawing her wand, she summoned a massive bolt of water, a demonstration of her still-recovering powers. With no ti to spare, she launched the powerful stream forward at Pegasus.

The force of the water hit him squarely in the chest, sending him flying backward just as the needles plunged harmlessly into the ground where he had been standing monts before.

Pegasus, caught off guard by the sudden impact, rolled across the floor toward Todd, who himself was groaning in pain from his earlier encounter with the boulder. Despite his discomfort, Todd hurried over to help Pegasus to his feet.

The group was montarily disoriented by the rapid succession of traps and attacks. Breathing heavily and checking for injuries, they realized the true peril of the labyrinth. It wasn't just a maze; it was a deadly gauntlet designed to test the limits of their abilities and endurance.

As Todd helped Pegasus to his feet, he couldn't help but comnd his teammate's quick reflexes. "Wow, that was a pretty good move and so quick thinking," he said with a heartfelt laugh, his tone laced with genuine admiration. "Nana might have gotten so more scars if not for you."

anwhile, Pegasus, still wincing from the impact, began to remove the needles that had lodged in his back. Each needle extracted elicited a sharp "Ou-Ouch!" from him, indicating the pain he was enduring. Despite the discomfort, Pegasus remained focused, a testant to his resilience.

Todd, noticing the pain Pegasus was in, quickly applied so ointnt to the needle wounds, trying to ease the discomfort. His actions showed the camaraderie and concern they all shared for one another in the face of the labyrinth's dangers.

It was then that Nana approached, her brow furrowed with a mix of concern and confusion. "Where did that boulder even co from?!" she asked, looking around as if expecting another surprise attack. Her question highlighted the unpredictable nature of the labyrinth, where threats could erge from anywhere at any mont.

"Sothing of that size just silently appearing is strange," Nana mused, reflecting on the bizarre and unexpected nature of the traps they were encountering. She then apologized, a hint of guilt in her voice, "Sorry about stepping on that plate, though. I should have been watching my step better."

Todd, finishing up with the application of burn ointnt on Pegasus' back, reassured her, "Don't worry about it, we're all fine right now." His tone was encouraging, aid at easing her concern. He then proceeded to apply so gauze, carefully wrapping Pegasus' shoulder in white bandages before helping him put his clothes back over the top.

"Just don't strain yourself too much, and these should heal quickly," he advised, showing a blend of practicality and concern for Pegasus' well-being.

The group took a mont to gather themselves, each processing the recent events in their own way. Pegasus tested his mobility gently, nodding in appreciation for Todd's dical attention. Nana, while relieved that they had all managed to escape serious injury, remained alert and wary of further traps.
