That they wished for me to reach the finish line as well.
"Passing over to the other side should trigger the opening of a passage,” Lauren declared. “Let’s make haste.”
“Agreed,” Colton encouraged and squeezed my hand one more time.
The final trials of Demon Valley await.
CHAPTER2
The Hidden Gem Of Chaos And Cruel Savior
“Fuck…I don’t think I can hold this for much longer.”
“They just keep coming,” Lauren grunted before she clapped her hands and sent a wave of energy that destroyed rows of monsters that screamed at their demise.
My eyes continued to dart from side to side, taking in the never-ending sea of monsters that blocked our path from the grand prize — the platform that would lead us into the sacred space I hopped would take me straight to Malifer.
Did he have to go through this madness for minutes? Hours? All by himself?
There were three of us and we were struggling, so I couldn’t wrap my mind around Malifer taking on rows and rows of demonic creatures that were as powerful as final bosses in a typical video game.
Being sitting ducks here was beginning to tick me off, so much so that my magic was begging to come out and put these creatures in their place. I couldn’t count exactly how many demons were fighting to kill us, but there had to be more than one hundred.
“Do you wish for me to interfere?”Lily inquired.
To be honest, I would rather wait for your assistance until we’re close to Malifer’s location.
With us facing difficulties now, I worried entering the forbidden space that hid the crown of the valley would be a strenuous task —especially by myself.
“You have a point.”
I took a moment to acknowledge Xiao, who was watching, intrigued, in hopes I’d request her aid. If the space around us wasn’t so condensed, it would have been a good idea to shift and take them out with our swiftness, but the ground beneath us was just as unstable as the rocky walls surrounding us.
Getting rid of these creatures needed to be swift and practically effortless.
We’re running out of time here.
With a bite of my bottom lip, I looked at Lauren.
“Can you teleport yourself and Colton over there?” I asked and pointed to the spot we were trying to reach, though we’d only managed to make it to the middle of this monster madness.
“What are you planning?” she asked instead as her eyes narrowed, which made me smirk in return.
“Getting us out of this mess,” I voiced and added, “And you two need to be blindfolded.”
Colton was literally shaking as the magnitude of strings that held back the creatures from jumping us were beginning to reach their max stretch capacity.
“You…can’t do this by yourself, Lexi…boo,” he struggled. “Why…do…we…need…fuck!”
More strings were beginning to snap, which encouraged me to take one more look at Lauren, who bit her bottom lip before cursing.
“Fine. Teleport to the wall there. But blindfold?”
“I don’t want you guys to see what I’m going to do,” I confessed in seriousness. “It’s not something I’m proud of, nor is it a side I like to delve into, but seeing as I can’t call upon Lily or Xiao, it's something I have no choice but to use to ensure we get passed this.”
She looked at me for three solid seconds before she reached out to grab Colton’s hand.
“Don’t die.” That was all she had to say to me before she snapped her free hand, which kindled the white fabric of silk that wrapped around hers and Colton’s eyes. A second later, they were no longer standing before me, but exactly where they needed to be on the opposite wall that was marked with an incantation.
