Cheat Awakening-Chapter 755. The Endless Maze of Floor B3

"What's wrong with this floor? The change is so big, as if we've come to a completely new dungeon."

When Sylphy arrived on floor B3 and her eyes regained sight, she immediately raised her voice.

It couldn't be helped, as everyone had the same thoughts as her.

The structural layout of floor B3 was something no one had seen before when exploring a dungeon.

The moment they descended to this floor, they saw a 5-square-meter room. And all four corners had doors.

Then, when you opened one of the doors, what lay before it was yet another 5-square-meter room. Inside that room, there were four more doors. Obviously, this time they were stuck in a real high-end maze.

Seeing this kind of troublesome trap, it was indeed reasonable for Sylphy to cry out in anger.

"I hate these types of floors the most," Aisha, beside Myne, started cursing in a low voice. Usually, she didn't lose her temper over such things, as there were many things or people around to make her angry, but this time, she also couldn't control herself.

"Waffle, can you sense mana inside this floor? What's the situation? Can you locate the right path?"

As if predicting he would say that, Waffle immediately raised his head high and sniffed around for mana.

"Mana density here is quite good, but... for some reason, I can't figure out the route leading to the boss room. Something is blocking my senses."

"Maybe it's some kind of security measure of this floor to stop cheaters like us. After all, someone went to great lengths to build such a complicated maze; it would be a pity if someone ruined the other party's effort because they had a special way to find the real route."

Aisha, after hearing Waffle's words, spoke with a thoughtful look. Among all the people and pets in their group, she was the one with the most experience regarding dungeons and their mechanisms.

"Well, if that's the case, then let's go with the original plan and quickly clear this area," Shaking his head, Myne was about to walk forward when Aisha stopped him.

"Wait a minute, idiot. If we walk around this floor mindlessly, I'm sure we'll get lost eventually. I've heard rumours when I was still an adventurer, and that the rooms don't connect together in a straight line like how you perceive them. The real route would most likely be zig-zag, or circular, or something like that."

"Just now, Waffle was unable to figure out the direction, right? What I speculate is that the four doors we're looking at right now, if we do not choose the correct door, I think we will be transported back to the same area again, and stuck in some kind of loop. This was the mechanism I've heard of from adventurers."

"Should we put a landmark for each area? Then even if we get stuck in a loop, we don't have to take the same path again and again," Myne thought a bit and spoke with some uncertainty. He didn't know if this trick was going to work or not. This floor of the dungeon seemed a hard nut to crack.

Hearing Myne's words, Aisha fell into deep thought, and after a minute or so, she came up with a quick plan.

First, Myne and Waffle would go ahead first. This was to check whether they would return to the same area or not. So if they met up with Aisha and the rest, who were waiting at the same spot, then Aisha's theory of opening the correct door was right.

Then, another situation occurred whereby they did not meet up with them even after proceeding forward and got lost in this weird maze. Then Myne could use his teleportation skill to return to the floor entrance, and they could make another plan.

"This certainly is a good idea, but what if my teleportation skill didn't work? This floor doesn't look normal. Don't you guys think we're stuck here?" Myne asked with concern.

"Cough, cough... Myne, I think you should care about yourself more than us," Sylphy interrupted Aisha, who was about to give Myne a 'love fist,' and pointed at the glowing crystal behind her.

"We can leave the dungeon whenever we want, but if you get stuck in the maze, it's hard to say about you, so you care about yourself more than us."

"You..."

Hearing Sylphy's shameless words, Myne for a moment felt like he was surrounded by traitors who wanted to take his life. Otherwise, whose wives are so cruel that they didn't hesitate to sacrifice their own one and only husband?

"Whose side are you guys on? One day, when I really disappear, only then will you realise my importance..."

Bang!

"Ouch!"

"Bastard, you've disappeared God knows how many times without telling us! We've long ago experienced the feeling of being widows at an early age... Now stop messing around and move your ass. We don't have all day to waste!"

Aisha hit Myne's head irritably, interrupting his nonsense. There was so much work to do at the clan; if she had known that this simple exploration would be so troublesome, she would never have come here.

Today was the first day of their business; it was truly unlucky to hand everything over to a bunch of noobs who didn't understand anything. Now, Aisha felt that if they continued to be so careless, the future of their clan was not very promising.

"Fine, fine. Also, Waffle, you don't have to come with me. I alone will be able to move faster," Saying that, Myne start stretching his muscles as if he is about to run merathon, but corner of his eyes he was looking at Aisha, and when she wasn't paying attention, he quickly pinch her buttock hard, taking revenge for her hitting him twice, and ran away without giving her a chance to fight back.

"Idiot, where can you run? At the end of the day, you will come back to me," Aisha spoke, gritting her teeth, while rubbing her buttock, which was hurting like hell, because Myne used too much force.

Sylphy, Waffle, and Ted, looking at Aisha, whose eyes were about to spit fire, could only shake their heads. They could already imagine Myne's miserable state after he fell into her hands.

...

After entering the first room, Myne, out of curiosity or maybe to prove Aisha wrong and make fun of her, went straight without any stop. To leave a mark, Myne, who didn't lack mana, at least for the time being, directly summoned a random big rock the size of an adult with the help of his skill, Unique Magic・Sublime Obscurity, which can summon or even create anything out of thin air he wants, as long as he has sufficient mana. This way, even if he is blind, he can't miss such an obvious sign.

Right, right, left, right, left, right, left, right... was the pattern he followed when choosing which doors to open. Anyway, no matter which way he went, everything looked the same.

Then, after going through 10 rooms, he, like previously, continued to rush forward, but seeing Aisha and the others sitting on the floor casually while talking and laughing as if they were on a picnic, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twist. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Yo, Myne, you're back... Want to eat something?" Aisha, seeing Myne rushing out from the maze as if someone was chasing him, instantly understood that her prediction was right, and this floor was some kind of loop maze, very difficult to crack.

"You eat yourself! I still have to work, otherwise, you two will definitely drag me into this mess again tomorrow," Myne gave Aisha the middle finger while the others weren't paying attention, since he know very well why she was being so nice, and inviting him to eat, making her raise her eyebrow irritedly, she didn't expected that he would see though her plan.

Then Myne again rushed into the same-looking room with four doors.

"By the way, if this entire floor is a loop maze, then why didn't we encounter Merlin's friends? Aren't they just a little ahead of us? With Myne's speed of running, they should have already encountered him, right?" Sylphy, who remembered that there was also a group of people whom she wanted to beat with them in the dungeon, couldn't help but ask Aisha.

"Maybe after barely defeating the previous boss by sacrificing their so-called friend, they realised that they were overestimating their strength and had left the dungeon instead of continuing forward and risking their lives. After all, it is indeed very profitable to explore an unknown dungeon, but they have to be alive to enjoy the benefits they gain from the dungeon," Aisha thought for a moment and replied while rubbing her chin.

Although most adventurers are very reckless and play with fire all the time, this doesn't mean that they are fools and throw away their lives despite knowing that they are going to lose. Rather, they are more insightful and smart when it comes to saving their lives.

After running into the endless rooms with four doors for half an hour like a mad dog, and dumping nearly 87 big rocks as marks, and ending up meeting his gang around 5 times in this entire process, Myne finally encountered something different.
