87. AN ILLUSION.
“The whole desert is covered in a low-level illusion,” Max said as he flapped his wings.Micheal looked around the desert before turning back to Max.“So why didn't you say it all these while?” Micheal asked in doubt, maybe this was just another prank from the bird. “I just discovered it now.” Max replied. “So, do you know the way out?” Micheal asked with anticipation.He couldn’t sense any illusion himself, but if what Max said was true, then maybe Max could actually help them escape this desert. Combined with Max constantly claiming to be some kind of legendary phoenix, perhaps he really wasn’t bluffing after all.“I can try,” Max said smugly with a smile, “but why would I?”Micheal smiled wryly and shifted his gaze toward Aina, who immediately understood what he meant.“Here, Max,” Aina said as she tossed a round object from her space ring toward the bird resting on Maya’s shoulder.Max instantly caught the seed with his beak.He immediately began chewing on it with a pleased ex
86. IMPROVEMENTS.
Everyone stood in stunned silence as they looked at the long line of markers in front of them—the same ones they had placed earlier. The situation was far more serious than they had expected.It felt as if there was some kind of space shift, something that kept returning them to where they began. The thought was terrifying. No one spoke. They simply stared at one another, weighed down by frustration and uncertainty, with no idea what to do next.“We are doing something wrong, perhaps,” Aina said, breaking the silence.“What could it be?” Micheal replied as he uncorked his water can and took a drink. He checked his storage and shook his head. His water wouldn’t last even two weeks under this harsh sun, and he knew it would be the same for the others. They had to find a way out, and soon—or at least find a way to replenish their water.For one week, Micheal and the rest tried all sorts of methods to escape the maze-like desert, but nothing worked.They always returned to where they star
85. DESSERT DEMONS 2.
“Keep trying,” Micheal persuaded Alex.Alex had no choice but to close his eyes and try again. They stood there for a long time. With the heat pressing down on them, they soon began to feel tired. Their legs grew sore, and the urge to move became stronger. But because of the situation, no one dared to move. It was getting harder to endure, and some of them even started to shake.“Hold yourselves,” Micheal said with a frown as he looked at those struggling to stay still.But Leo unknowingly shifted his leg.At once, a sword shot out from the ground. Micheal reacted quickly and sliced out a streak of sword light at the incoming attack, easily nullifying most of it, but not all.Leo’s leg was brutally wounded.He screamed in pain and nearly collapsed, but Dinna reacted immediately, catching him and holding him up in midair.Blood poured from Leo’s wound, and he kept taking deep, shaky breaths.Micheal stared at the injury in confusion. How were they supposed to treat him if none of them
84. DESERT DEMONS.
Everyone immediately fell silent, their expressions turning solemn. This desert was a completely different kind of nightmare compared to the watching trees. It didn’t just threaten them like the other did but it gave the feeling of being trapped, like an invisible prison closing in on them and with the slightest movement he'd be dead. “And now the bodies of the heretics are gone,” Alex said, glancing around. “We can’t even use them to track where we’ve been. The sandstorm must have buried everything.”That made things worse.They quickly began thinking of ways to escape before their water ran out. After some discussion, they brought out several useless items and placed them along their path as markers, hoping to confirm whether they were truly moving in a straight line.Then they started walking again.As time passed, the sun grew hotter and hotter. This time, it felt far more intense than before, as if it were hanging directly above them, threatening to burn their faces.“What’s wit
83. SAND STORM.
Micheal was the fastest among them and ran far ahead of the group. After all, he was the closest to reaching the silver level. But when he noticed his sister and the others falling behind, he hesitated, unsure of what to do. To make things worse, the sandstorm behind them was even faster than he was. He could already feel the vibrations rumbling through the ground.If it caught up to them, they were finished.At this rate, White was probably the only one who could outrun it.Everyone’s hearts pounded as the vibrations grew stronger.“Everyone, stop running! I have a plan!” Aina suddenly shouted.No one wanted to stop, but deep down, they all knew that no matter how fast they ran, the sandstorm would eventually catch them.So everyone stopped to listen to what Aina had to say. “What’s the plan?” Micheal asked urgently. Every second mattered now. If they wasted any more time, there would be no need to dig graves, the sandstorm would bury them itself.“Sis, the tent! The tent should be
82. MAX.
Micheal stared at the small chick in shock……A talking chick? He had never seen anything like this before. Soon enough, everyone gathered around Maya, all of them looking at the chick in surprise.Maya was also stunned, but she reached up, held the chick, and gently brought it down from her head.“In your prime… what do you mean?” Maya asked. Micheal was also curious about what the chick meant by what it said earlier. “Umm… I don’t know. I just know that I am a great Phoenix,” the chick replied with a smug smile.Micheal was completely speechless. The chick looked so small and weak. When it had flapped its wings earlier, it even looked like it might fall. For it to claim that it was a Phoenix was almost ridiculous. And that smile… it was clearly smug. The chick was acting far too human.Elyria was truly a strange place. Everything happening here felt like something out of a fantasy movie.“So cute,” Aina said as she stepped forward and gently touched the chick.This time, the chick d
