Chapter 346 Darkness
A few minutes before the real passage door opened, in another mirror passage, a student team that was trying to return had already discovered that something was wrong.
That happened to be the team of female knight Alyssa, the son of destiny Roche and Matt.
Unlike the combination of Claire and Avis, they did not encounter the mutated murals, but they also could not pass through the space-time turbulence zone at the end of the corridor.
After trying various methods to no avail, they could only choose to return the same way, but after walking for a long time, they still could not see the stone door exit when they came.
At this time, their position had left the area depicting the murals and entered the narrow rock corridor when they came.
According to the walking time, they had almost walked twice the distance they came, but the corridor in front was still pitch black. The exit that should have been reached long ago was nowhere to be seen.
The cold white halo of the magic lantern illuminated nothing but darkness.
The monotonous footsteps of the crowd echoed in the narrow corridor, and then were gradually swallowed by the darkness. No one spoke, and a faint atmosphere of depression quietly spread in the team.
"Captain Mondolo, everyone, have you noticed that the length of this corridor seems to have changed?"
After noticing this, Roche spoke decisively and broke the atmosphere in the team.
"Have you found anything, Roche?"
When he spoke, the team members stopped immediately. In front of the left side of the team, a tall and strong boy with brown hair and red eyes, wearing magic light armor and holding a long-handled staff looked over.
He is Mondolo, a student of the School of Change with a strength of the middle stage of the third level, and the son of a mercenary group leader with brown hair and blue eyes.
Few people know that he is also a secret member of the new resistance organization [Spark].
In fact, the strongest person in the team is Alyssa. But because Alyssa was unwilling to take the position of commander, the position of captain fell on his head.
It is said that before Mondolo was born, his mother dreamed that a giant dragon with red eyes fell into her belly, and then he was born.
His father was also very kind to him and did not abuse him because he did not look like him.
Mondolo was also very competitive and showed a strong talent. After growing up to the right age, he was selected by the college guide to enter Pamir College. He has been enrolled for seven years. It is expected that he will break through the fourth level before the fifteenth year and meet the graduation conditions.
"No, but I think we may have fallen into some kind of magical effect. Even if we keep going like this, I am afraid we can't escape."
Roche shook his head and expressed his judgment.
"What can we do, our powerful Lord Roche?"
But before he could continue, a yin and yang voice sounded from the side. A young man with light green hair and strength at the beginning of the third level was looking at him provocatively.
In the previous battle, Roche had used his own strength at the peak of the second level to forcibly cross the level and defeat a student at the beginning of the third level on the opposite side, winning a key game for the team.
You know, this is not an ordinary professional outside, but an elite talent from Pamir College.
Under this premise, although his current strength is only at the peak of the second level, most members of the team attach great importance to his opinions.
However, there is also a new teammate who doesn't like him and thinks that he is just lucky and met a weak student, so he won unfairly.
His name is Pez, who also comes from a non-noble family and entered the school four years earlier than Roche. In Pamir Academy, students with humble origins usually choose to stick together.
"... There are many kinds of magical effects that can cause this phenomenon, such as spatial confusion, illusion corridors, and dream world sinking.
We must first distinguish which situation is currently in order to systematically find a solution."
Ignoring Pez's provocation, Roche turned directly to others and expressed his thoughts.
Sometimes he would wonder why there are always people who would forcefully jump out and provoke him regardless of the facts.
"Don't embarrass Roche, Pez, he is a freshman who has been enrolled for less than a year."
On the side, Matt also spoke up for Roche.
Being ignored by Roche made Pez's face look ugly. Matt's words sounded more like invisible ridicule to Pez.
Less than a year after entering school, his strength has reached the peak of the second level. It took him five years to reach the peak and break through the second level. Isn't he a waste?
"Humph! I..."
Just when he was about to say something, the whole corridor suddenly began to vibrate slightly without any warning. And as time went by, this vibration was getting stronger and stronger!
"What happened?... Micha? Gou? Kasai?!"
Along with this vibration, the three teammates in the team who had just not said a word suddenly disappeared silently in the air.
Seeing this weird scene appear in front of them, everyone was a little panicked.
At this time, it was the moment when the real body of the gate was opened-
.
….….
With the opening of the real gate, the environment of all the corridors in the mirror image trembled at the same time, and the environment began to change abnormally.
Some students who were exploring in it suddenly found something wrong, and from time to time someone was surprised that some of their teammates had disappeared.
What followed them all the way was not their teammates, but something else!
"Look! What is that?"
As the vibration intensified, everyone noticed that an extremely deep darkness gradually spread from the corridor along the direction they originally came from!
That was not an ordinary darkness that could be illuminated by lights, but a completely dark mass like an endless void.
Footprints, rocks, air, everything was swallowed up by the surging darkness.
Some people threw magic and objects into the darkness to test, but everything eventually disappeared silently in the darkness.
Seeing this horrible scene, everyone began to flee forward frantically. Even though they knew there was an insurmountable obstacle ahead, no one wanted to try the feeling of being swept into the darkness now.
In this situation, everyone quickly ran out of the narrow corridor and entered the area depicting murals.
To everyone's surprise, and shouting for the gods' blessing, the chaotic time and space isolation zone that originally stretched across the front had disappeared at some point.
Without time to think about it, many students hurried forward to avoid being caught up by the darkness that was rapidly coming from behind.
If they were more careful in their panic, they would find that the number of strange figures depicted on the sixth mural just corresponds to the number of people who just disappeared in the team.
As everyone moved forward quickly, finally, a circular exit, just like the one they entered, appeared in everyone's sight.
