Chapter 200: Game (2)

When the white light disappeared and Lin Fan could see again, he had appeared in a large maze where the only ways to go was forward and back. On both his sides were walls that were more than three times taller than him.

But there was also someone else with him, someone who had always followed him.

It was Angela.

Lin Fan could tell that someone had used spatial laws to move them inside the pyramid, but he could also tell that that person had clearly split them all up as well. Why was Angela beside him?

Angela could see his confusion and naturally could tell what he was thinking.

Before Lin Fan even asked, she said, "This is just simple spatial law manipulation, it's very easy for me to use my own spatial laws to cancel out his control and let me teleport with you."

This was something that Lin Fan didn't doubt. To be honest, he was still afraid of Angela since he still had no idea just how powerful she was. The only thing that he did know was that she was right before the God Realm, which was why he was able to get her to work for him.

But the fact that the system could use God Realm laws was a thing that had been in the back of his mind for a while. Especially after he learned the significance of God Realm laws.

Even now, he still wondered who created the system and why they gave the system to him…

…

On the other side, there was a man that was sitting in a golden throne with a golden suit and a golden cape on his back. Everything about this man was golden, his clothes, his hair, even his skin to a certain extent. The only thing that wasn't golden with him were his eyes that were a piercing blue eyes.

At this moment, those piercing blue eyes were looking into a mirror in front of him and being reflected in that mirror was Lin Fan and Angela.

This man sitting in the throne was Lord Jin, the Legendary Realm Expert that had come from the Beast Clan and the space law user. He had been the one that had teleported them into the pyramid and separated them, but for some reason, what he was looking at now went against that.

He had used his space laws to teleport each person into a set starting point that was at fixed distances from each other, but somehow these two had ignored that and had been teleported in together.

How had they resisted his space laws and done this?

But then when he thought of the report that Yin had given him, it made sense since these two were from an unknown upper realm. It was very likely that they had some unknown artifacts on them that had helped them resist his spatial laws.

As he fell into thought, he began gaining more interest in this pair, preparing to watch them as they made their way through the game that he had prepared.

As for why he had just referred to Lord Yin as Yin, that was because members of the Beast Clan didn't have surnames.

They were all beasts that had gained intelligence and they didn't want to be like the humans, so they chose to just call themselves whatever they wanted to call themselves. Usually that meant just choosing a single word that they felt best represented who they were.

As for Lord Jin, it was clear why he chose to call himself Jin…

…

Back in the maze, Lin Fan and Angela didn't make any rash moves and first looked over their surroundings, but there really wasn't much for them to look at.

The one odd thing was that when they tried to spread their spiritual senses around them, they found that they couldn't send it through. When they chose to send their spiritual senses up, they found that it was actually quite the thick wall, which was why it had blocked them from sending their spiritual sense through.

Of course, it had only blocked Angela's spiritual sense because she didn't use her full spiritual sense.

Before even coming here, Lin Fan had made Angela agree that she would only use strength limited to under the Legendary Realm. If she were to use strength that was beyond that, it would ruin his plan.

Since they couldn't find anything with their spiritual sense, it was time to use another method, namely Brainy.

Lin Fan had actually stored a few of Brainy's smaller scouts inside his pet storage space, which was now perfect for the situation that they were currently in. As well, there were still the ants that the Desert Horror Queen had.

Those scouts all headed off in different directions, even though there were only two directions to choose from…

There were also some ants that tried to dig under the walls or through the walls, but no matter how hard they tried, they were unable to make even the slightest dent.

Seeing that didn't work, the ants then tried to climb up over the walls and go around it, but whenever they reached the middle of the wall, they were unable to move forward at all. It was like there was another invisible wall that was sticking up over the walls of the maze themselves that were blocking them from moving forward.

In the end, the ants had no choice but to head off in different directions like the beasts.

Lin Fan and Angela just stood there waiting patiently.

Finally Brainy had some news, but it wasn't good news.

Behind them was a dead end and it wasn't just a normal dead end, it was one that had a trap to it.

The trap was a weight sensitive floor that opened up to reveal a pit filled with sharp spikes that impaled anything that fell down.

The ants hadn't been heavy enough to activate it, but the beasts scouts were definitely heavy enough.

When the mice touched the weight sensitive floor, it immediately opened right in the middle and swung open to reveal the pit full of spikes. It was a good thing that Brainy also had a few scouts that could fly that immediately picked up the mice that were falling, stopping them from impaling themselves.

All that they learned from that experience was that this was a dead end for them.

As for in front of them, Brainy had found that there were many different paths in front of them and those paths all led to different open spaces.

Brainy had sent its scouts into those open spaces, but there wasn't much they could do since those open spaces were completely surrounded in walls. There didn't seem to be any way for them to progress any further.

After relaying all this information, Lin Fan decided that there was no point in staying here any longer.

That Lord Yin had said that this was a game, so there must be a point to those open spaces. Without entering them first, they would probably be unable to continue forward.

As per Brainy's investigations, there didn't seem to be any differences in the open space between them, so Lin Fan just chose to head directly straight forward every time until he came to one such open space.

The moment he did, there was a voice that suddenly sounded and it was quite the familiar voice. It was the voice of Lord Yin.

Lord Yin's voice echoed around them as he said, "Welcome to the first stage of the game! To pass this stage, all you have to do is pass the challenge that is presented to you!"

Lin Fan looked around to see where this voice was coming from, but he couldn't find a single trace of Lord Yin around them at all.

Finally Angela tapped his shoulder and pointed above them, pointing at a sphere that was floating in the air.

This was actually quite the common artifact found in this world, being used by all the different races. This was a Voice Orb that was able to record the voices of the user and play them back.

As for the reason why it was floating, there was a little blue patch that was attached to the bottom of the Voice Orb, which was a patch made of Gravity Stone. Gravity Stones were a special mineral that was also quite common, which had the effect of defying gravity, allowing it to float things in the air.

With these two combined, it created a recording that had a spiritual sense trace attached to it, which allowed it to activate the moment someone walked through the entrance. At the entrance was a special array that could detect motion, which sent a signal to the spiritual sense seal on the Voice Orb, activating it.

Lord Yin's voice continued, "Now you're probably wondering what this stage will be about."

Then after some pause, it continued, "Since you're quite the straightforward person, taking all the straight paths, we'll make it simple and give you a straightforward game. As long as you can defeat your opponent, you will be able to move onto the next stage!"

There was a dark circle that suddenly appeared on the ground in front of Lin Fan and after a while, there was a deer that slowly rose up from the dark circle.

This deer looked quite harmless, but when one felt the energy fluctuations that came from it, it was clear that this deer was in the Platinum Ream.

The only problem with that was that this deer was only in the low Platinum Realm and it was facing Lin Fan...
