[You have leveled up, 4 stat points]
[You are the first awakened to kill an Evolved Monster]
[Reward: Aura of the Minotaur]
[Aura of the Minotaur: Passive skill, user’s presence is domineering when facing any opponent, creating fear. The greater the fear, the higher the debuff enemies face and the higher the buff the user faces.]
Aren stood there, looking at the body of the Minotaur. He stretched out his hands and pulled out the sword.
[You have gained a soul weapon, Ancient Devourer]
[Ancient Devourer, consur of soul and blood, soul can currently be awakened with blood, power rises infinitely with the more blood and souls consud. Drawback: if awakened soul can’t get blood, it will turn on host, ti, 5 minutes.]
Aren looked at the sword. This was a new soul weapon for him. A smile ford on his face, nothing was better than getting more strength.
Since he was done with that, he turned his eyes to the Minotaur and then used consu. Its body was imdiately pulled into the shadows, and when it ca back, it was a Minotaur shadow.
It bowed one knee to Aren, head bowed low in respect.
"Greetings master." It said, its deep voice filled with respect.
"You can still speak after becoming a shadow?" Aren asked.
"Indeed master, I can also rember everything that happened before my death." He replied.
"What? Does that an you hate ?" Aren asked.
"Not one bit master, there is no hate for you in my heart. Who I was monts ago is no longer who I am, I am simply your shadow now." He said.
"I see, I guess I can work with that. In that case, I’ll be naming you, you are my first smart awakened, I’ll call you Riker,"
"Not a good na but the first that ca to mind."
[You have gained a new soul weapon]
While he was mid thought, the system sent another ssage. He had gained a soul weapon from turning Riker into his Shadow.
"I appreciate the na master." Riker said while Aren was looking at the screen.
"Yeah yeah," Aren replied casually, already checking what this new soul weapon was.
[Ancient Devourer]
"Huh?" Aren stared at it, and it was exactly the sa as the sword he held in his hands. Even the description was the sa.
"What the hell? How can there be two of the sa?" He asked.
"Tsk, whatever." He muttered and tossed the original to Riker.
"Have that, it’s your weapon."
"Thank you Master." Riker caught it and said.
"Good, now we are done here, let’s check on the others."
Aren returned with Riker behind him, and he found the others together resting. All of them sat on the ground, their backs leaned against the Minotaur statues.
It seed after Riker was defeated, the rest returned back to their statue state.
Aiden saw Aren. He was too weak to even stand and greet.
"Whatever you did bro, thank you." Aiden said.
"Even for , it was a lot." Zero said. "It was fun though, and I got to learn a lot about how Minotaurs fight." She said.
"I’m hungry and tired." Kira said.
And then as if filled with sudden new energy, Aiden sprang up to his feet. "How about I cook sothing." He said eagerly.
"I’d give you my soul for so warm food." Kira replied.
"I want so as well." Zero said, raising her hands.
"I’ll eat too, I think I’ve burnt a crazy amount of energy." Aren replied, walking to sit against a statue that fell over.
With everyone’s go ahead, Aiden rushed to start, pulling everything that he would need from his ring.
He imdiately got into full chef mode, cooking a steak there.
He had everything, from wood to make fire, ingredients, utensils and all.
The others just watched as he did his thing, and an hour later, there was food on all their plates, steak with mashed potatoes.
Everyone dug in, and even if it wasn’t the best in the world, the food was stunning. They all ate, cleaned up, and were ready to go.
[Location of the map has been revealed for an hour]
They had barely taken a step when the ssage ca.
"Arghhh, you have to be kidding ." Aiden said.
"I’m seriously not in the mood to fight anymore." Kira added.
"Don’t worry about that, I’ll take down anyone that cos quick and fast, I’m tired of being here." Aren said and started walking.
It was like just being in this maze was taking a heavy toll on their minds. They began to care less about anything else, and just getting out beca their goal.
They walked through the hall and to the throne of Riker. That was the end of it, but on the throne was sothing that looked like a rune circle of so sort on the backrest.
Aren walked forward and placed his hands on it, pouring soul energy, and the circle activated. The chair sunk into the ground, and on the wall behind, a large maze door appeared there.
The door opened slowly, and the sa darkness they saw when they entered was there. Without hesitation, they walked through it and ca out of the other side, well, all three of them except Aren.
When the darkness faded, he wasn’t inside the maze, but rather standing in a vast and empty void of space.
"What’s happening?" He muttered, looking around, but there was nothing there to be seen.
And then from nowhere, a figure appeared in the distance, sitting at a tea table under an umbrella. The next mont, the void changed into a beautiful grass field, and the lady still sat there under the umbrella, sipping her tea.
"Where is this? How did I get here?" Aren wondered out loud.
"Co, take a seat." She said, looking right at him, "Nathan."
When he heard that na, he froze, looking right at her. "How, how, how do you know that na?" He asked, taking a subconscious step back.
