Chapter 659 - Trapped?

"What do you mean by that?" Klaus questioned coldly.

"You offend way too many people." Alice replied.

"Well, it's because I can't stand stupid people." Klaus said.

While they were talking, they got to the town close to where they appeared. After getting inside the town, they noticed strange gazes from the townspeople.

Grey pleaded with Klaus not to say anything before he asked someone where they were. The Aurora Continent was divided into five, and the last time he came, he appeared in the Eastern Continent, heading to the Southern Continent to meet up with Ellis. It would be best he was in either of them since he already knew his way around them.

He was more familiar with the Eastern Continent, so he would very much prefer they appeared there.

However, this wasn't the case.

"The Western Continent." Grey muttered as he returned to where his friends were.

He knew nothing of the Western Continent, neither did he have a map. After asking a townsman where the nearest city was, they left the town. The strongest person in the town was surprisingly in the Mid stages of the Origin Plane. In the Azure Continent, a town like this one wouldn't even have someone in the Arcane Plane, much less the Origin Plane.

"Did you find something strange about those people?" Alice asked the others.

"Yeah. They were staring at us in a strange way." The others nodded.

They too could sense the gazes they were getting. But since there was no one who could threaten them, none of them took it too seriously.

They walked for over three hours before the silhouette of a building came to view, however, it was not a city but a single building.

"Are you sure this is the direction they pointed at?" Reynolds asked confusedly.

"Yes. I should not be wrong." Grey replied as they walked closer to the building.

The building was almost like a castle, but not exactly on the same level as a castle. When they got to the gate of the building, they couldn't sense anyone inside.

"Come on, let's keep going." Grey had no interest in checking out the place. It wasn't like this was where he wanted to go in the first place.

The others nodded, but just as they were about to leave, they heard a cackling laugh from inside the building.

"Since you're here, why leave?" The voice laughed and the gates to the building opened.

"Sorry, but we'll pass." Klaus replied.

"Hehe, do you think it's that easy?" The voice chuckled.

"Uhmm, yes, yes I do." Klaus replied and the group continued walking once again.

"Fine, come in and you might stand the chance to gain a rare treasure." The voice tried to entice them.

Klaus' voice came from afar, " Keep your treasure, freak."

Silence reigned for some time. The person didn't think Grey or his friends wouldn't even sit by for a few minutes. They left the second they got there, they didn't even have an ounce of curiosity.

"Hehe, this is my forest, if you think you can leave so easily, it would really be a blemish on my name. But those townspeople really sent a group of strange people over. I'll teach them a lesson when next I pay them a visit." The voice laughed.

Grey and his friends didn't hear these words. They didn't have the time to wait to hear what the person wanted to say. Since they decided they weren't going in from the start, then there was no use in showing any form of interest.

Thirty minutes later.

"Huh? Haven't we passed the place before?" Klaus wore a confused expression.

"Twice actually." Alice stated.

"A maze?" Grey asked as he looked around.

Although the place looked like a normal forest, this was the only thing that could come to mind.

"Wait, why can't we fly?" Klaus suddenly asked.

He hasn't tried it since they came, but now that he wanted to, he found out that he was unable to.

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you all. Only those in the Sage Plane can fly. With the exception of Void, that is." Grey said.

He too had tried it, but he found out that he couldn't as well. So he left it at that.

"Void, fly up to see if we're in a maze or something like that." Grey turned to Void.

Void nodded before flying into the sky. After almost a minute, Void came down with a confused expression.

"I can't really say it's a maze, it's more like a really really foresty forest." Void said.

"Wait, what?" Klaus asked, clearly confused by Void's explanation.

"There are tons of trees, and each of them are tightly connected to one another. It's almost impossible to even get to accurate location of where you guys were located. Had I not been connected to Grey, then I would've been lost." Void explained.

"This means there's something actually disrupting our senses." Grey said.

"Yup, that's it." Void replied.

"Do you think it has something to do with that house?" Alice asked.

"Most likely. That's the only place before this forest." Grey said.

"Come on, we just got here and we're already facing a difficult time already, really?" Klaus turned around, as if questioning the world.

"Let's leave things to mark the places we go through, this way, we will know where we've passed." Grey suggested.

The group nodded and once again started their journey.

One hour later.

"We're lost." Grey said with a dark face.

"This isn't too good for us." Alice said.

Presently, a fog had appeared in the forest, making things more difficult for them.

"Can't we teleport out of here?" Reynolds asked.

"There's no other teleportation array I can use as a destination, and the space here is extremely tough so doing a normal teleportation is way harder than usual." Grey replied.

"So, what now?" Reynolds asked.

"Let's see if we can go back to where we came from." Alice suggested.

"Alright."

The others agreed, it wasn't like they were going forward anyway.
