BXBX NOVEL 126 Chapter 126
The moment the voice spoke those words, an electric shock ran through every cell of Acht\'s body making him tremble violently. He didn\'t feel any pain from that. In fact, it was akin to a stamina potion that made him restore his vigor and vitality.
Then, blue runes started appearing on his body as if someone was scribbling them meticulously. It was bizarre scenery for anyone to witness.
At this point, Acht had already lost all feeling in his body and he was now under some kind of power that was controlling every action he did. Except for his eyes that kept staring widely with that blue hue encircling them, he had no other thing he could feel his surroundings with.
Then, after his body was now basically a blue lamp filled with runes, the energy that kept getting pumped into his body endlessly started seeping out and dispersing in the ground around him and Tania.
At first, it seemed to be dissipating after that but slowly, it started accumulating and forming a circle of energy the size of the passageway.
After reaching a certain threshold, the energy finally stopped increasing. Instantly, a strong gravitational force attacked the pile of rocks like a rushing tsunami.
The force was at least 50 times stronger than Acht\'s normal gravity manipulation. So, it didn\'t even take a few seconds for the rocks to start going up in the air. The change was slow at first but it didn\'t take long for all the rocks to start floating above Acht.
It didn\'t stop at that, Acht\'s broken body also started floating along with them. His posture was automatically straightened and he was now swimming in between the sea of floating debris like a god surrounded by his servants.
*Swish*
Suddenly, a rock was shot like a rocket far away into the distance followed by another one and then another one after that.
The rocks kept getting launched away in a very particular pattern and in a very particular direction.
It didn\'t take long for all the rocks to shoot away, leaving Acht alone in the air. Then, as if nothing happened, he came back to the ground gently and fell unconscious on the spot.
*************************
At the same time, Leislet and Scarlett were unaware of what was happening inside the maze since there were more important things they had to do instead of just watching the screen. The energy crystal has finally been fixed and the portal was restored so they were readying themselves to enter the maze.
The two of them, along with other people of higher status and also medics, were now standing on top of the platform where the contestants were standing before. The platform was now descending into the darkness and will teleport them to the maze.
\'Please be safe. Please be safe. Please be safe.\' they both thought along the same lines with clearly nervous looks. Each passing second of them descending to the portal was like long hours of waiting.
Finally, the shining light invaded their eyes and they found themselves inside the maze…or to be more precise, what was a maze before.
Now, it was nothing but a vast area of destruction. It was akin to a ghost town left to rot for eternity far from any human hands.
Leislet and Scarlett didn\'t dwindle much as they immediately rushed into the far distance like two lightning bolts.
They had no idea where Acht\'s exact location was so they had to find him with his signature aura.
Each human and also creature of any kind has a signature aura that makes them identifiable from any other individual or animal. Not to mention that Scarlett and Leislet knew Acht\'s signature aura very well…almost too well.
That is the case because it didn\'t even take them 2 minutes to find him. He was laying down unconscious and beside him was Tania who was unconscious too.
"ACHT!!!" They shouted in synchronization. They seemed like two copies of the same person when it came to the boy in front of them.
"Oh no, he\'s really badly injured. He\'s bleeding a lot too!" Leislet lifted him up and checked his pulse. His heart was beating but it was very faint and almost on the verge of stopping.
She immediately made him drink the highest grade potion she had on her. Instantly, his disfigured limbs started rotating at a weird angle along with weird cracks coming from his bones.
Scarlett also checked Tania who was in very bad shape too. Her head was bleeding profusely from the hit she took when she landed on the ground.
However, if Acht didn\'t hug her and protect her from a small portion of the impact, she would\'ve died on the spot.
"Is Acht ok?!" Scarlett asked after making sure the little girl\'s bleeding stopped and she relaxed considerably.
"He\'s barely alive. This potion can\'t do much to his other injuries! All of his organs are destroyed or in a very bad condition!" Leislet said with a clear horrified look. She just checked his body and it was indeed worse than what she imagined. It was a miracle that he was alive.
Her face was as pale as a glass of milk and droplets of sweat made her shine in the darkness.
"Hurry up and call the medics!"
Scarlett immediately stood up and went to bring them there as fast as she could.
\'Come on Acht, hold on for a little bit longer. You can\'t die here. Come on!\' She hugged him tightly.
Her forehead touched his gently and a tear fell down her cheek. She didn\'t know what would happen to her if he died. Will she be able to continue living? Will she be able to recover from it?
She didn\'t know the answer to that and she didn\'t even want to think about it. All of her being prayed that he stays alive.
"I love you so much, Acht." She muttered quietly to the boy who didn\'t hear any of her melodic whispers.
