Chapter 764: Chapter 743 ( Great Haltina Labyrinth - X )
It took two hours for Cloud to be able to get up and walk normally, although the girls could see how there were still parts of his body were red from the power of Yue and Tio's attack, there were even some bruises thanks to Shea, who could do nothing but look away in embarrassment.
"I told them it wasn't their fault" - Cloud said while shaking his head - "Besides, this won't take me more than half an hour to get back to normal."
"I'm sorry for attacking you with [Inferno]." - Yue said as she let out a sigh - "But in retrospect, it was my only attack that had enough penetrating power to be able to hurt you..."
The girls looked at Yue with a frown when they heard this.
"I understand, you don't have to go on" - Cloud replied as he watched Tio and Shea again apologize - "Seriously, that was enough apologies, we'd better move on, and by the way, I don't think there will be any more tests after that."
"Why do you say that, Cloud?" - Kaori asked as she looked around apprehensively, after all, she didn't want to suffer in this maze again.
"Because I'm sure the creator of this maze didn't expect us to survive after that" - Cloud replied sarcastically.
"The truth is, that wasn't my plan, at the same time, I'm surprised at how bad a view you have of me."
"!" - the girls quickly snapped to attention when they heard this voice, while Cloud looked up at the top of a large tree in the distance.
"Interesting, you found my resting place just by hearing my voice."
"That's because you didn't make much effort to hide, Lyutillis Haltina" - Cloud said neutrally.
"I understand your hostility, but as I said before, my goal was not that, in fact, I thought this was a good test until I saw what such a strong love can cause when reversed."
Yue, Tio and Shea blushed, the others did the same, the only difference is that they didn't attack not because they didn't want to, but because they unconsciously knew that if they got in the way they would end up badly hurt, in other words, the survival instinct had managed to overcome this false hatred.
"Anyway, we can continue talking in the final room, I'll be waiting for you, oh, and as the blond boy said, you don't have to worry, you already passed all the tests".
"Somehow I feel something strange coming from her" - Tio said as she started to think - "Something that's strangely familiar."
Yue and Cloud looked at each other because they knew what it was about.
"I have a feeling that we're about to meet someone strange" - Remia said as she looked at her baby with concern, after all, she didn't want Myu to be in front of a bad influence.

The group continued moving forward until they reached the base of the large tree, which didn't look much different from the rest, except for its size.
"So, what now?" - Kaori asked as she looked around in search of the entrance.
"Fly," Cloud replied as he looked at Yue, who nodded as he recited a quick incantation.
"[Fly]" - Yue muttered as she watched everyone start to float without much trouble.
Myu let out a small squeal of excitement as she started to tell Yue if she could make him fly after they got out of the maze.
"Then I'll show you how to do it" - Yue said as she nodded calmly, after all, knowing how to fly could help the little girl escape if things got out of control.
Remia accepted this idea because she also understood this point, although that didn't take away the fact that she was worried about her daughter's safety, even though she knew nothing would happen to her with so many "monsters" guarding her, more so when the vast majority could fly without even using that magic.
The group continued ascending until they came to a huge branch, which seemed to lead to a cave in the tree trunk.
"I'm surprised they used this method, normally they would use the teleportation symbols I created specifically for this.
"Let's just say we don't have much time to waste" - Cloud replied as he heard Lyutillis' voice again.
"I understand, please continue, you just have to enter the cave and step on the magic circle, it will move you to the final room, or you can also use the other magic circle and take the magic before you are teleported out."
"That doesn't seem to make much sense, I can sense that you wish to talk to us, but at the same time you are giving us a chance to leave..." - Cloud said as he frowned.
"Oh, I'm sorry if it sounds strange, it's just that I'd rather give you the chance to end this "adventure" as soon as possible, after all, I can sense your hostility towards me after this last ordeal."
The girls averted their gaze while Cloud shook his head - "No need, we'll go to the final room because we need to talk to you too."
"Perfect, I'll be waiting for you there because I'm running out of energy after talking to you for so long."
"What do you think?" - Cloud asked as he looked at the others.
"The truth is that I would rather get out of here, but I understand that we have to stay for multiple issues" - said Yue while shaking her head.
"The truth is that I don't know what to say in this situation, after all, we don't know how true this woman's words are, I mean, it's possible that the last room is a trap, or even this magic circle is just another proof" - Tio added while frowning.
"Ugh, my head hurts" - muttered Shea as she felt that Yue and Tio's deductions were too much for her.
"Myu's head hurts just the same" - muttered Myu as she shook her little head to push the pain away.
"What do you think, Remia?" - Cloud asked as he looked at the mother of the smallest of the group.
"The truth is that I would like to take Myu and get out of here because I don't want to put her in danger anymore, but at the same time I don't know where this magic circle will lead us to" - answered Remia with a frown - "At the same time, I feel it's better for us to be together because I know that with you Myu will be safe."
"Myu wants to stay!" - Myu exclaimed as she ran to her father and tugged at his pants, at the same time using her secret weapon, puppy dog eyes.
Cloud gave her a blank stare for a few seconds before letting out a sigh agreeing to let her stay. No matter how much he controlled his emotions, Myu's sad expression tore at his heart because it reminded him of many times when he used the same technique on his mother in order to get some gifts, despite the bad financial situation.
Now, he saw those memories as childish stupidity, but at that time he didn't know how much his mother had sacrificed in order to fulfill his whims.
"Great!" - Myu exclaimed excitedly.
Remia smiled slightly, though her concern did not diminish.
Cloud put his hand on her mother's shoulder before telling her that everything was going to be all right.
The group advanced towards the cave, a place where they saw a magic circle, possibly the one that would lead them towards the exit after getting the ancient magic.
"What now?" - Shea asked as she looked around, though her expression changed slightly when she saw a slightly larger magic circle appear in the center of the room - "I guess it's getting into that place..."
Cloud and the others stared at the magic circle for a few seconds before entering, only to have a blinding light invade the room after a few seconds.
When the group managed to open their eyes, they saw how they were in a chamber made entirely of vegetation, in which there were some strange trunks with some sort of transparent green cocoons, very similar to the ones they had been imprisoned in during one of the trials they went through.
"This place is a little creepy" - Shizuku said while frowning.
"It's not like I can make many modifications when we're in the core of the big tree."
Cloud looked around and saw a door in the direction where the voice was, though there was something else, he could sense a source of life inside that room, though this wasn't Lyutillis', mostly because this presence didn't seem to be connected to the labyrinth.
"Cloud..." - Yue said with a frown.
"Cloud, I think I felt a divine presence on the other side of that door" - Kaori said while spreading her wings.
Cloud also frowned because this was not good at all - "Remia, I want you, when we enter that room, to stay a little further back than usual to prevent accidents, because it looks like there is a servant of Ehit in this place."
Remia nodded weakly before taking her baby's arm and taking a few steps back, a safe distance away so she could fight if necessary.
Cloud walked to the door and opened it quickly before standing at attention, though when he did, he was surprised to see a beautiful woman with auburn hair - "Welcome to the final room."
"Wait, Cloud, I recognize that voice!" - Shea exclaimed as she ran over to the blond and watched as a familiar person appeared in her range of vision - "Belta-chan!"
"It's been a while since we've seen each other last, Shea" - smiled Belta as she looked at her new friend.
"Ok, there are many things I wish to ask" - Cloud said with a frown
