Labyrinth of Legends - Part 4

The world rushed by as I held on to Fayeth. Both of us were tucked under one of Neldra’s arms while her sword was out in the other hand. For all the trouble Kaiming went to in order to trap us, they weren’t showing a huge presence as we exited.

As if reading my mind, Neldra spoke, “Did you forget about your grandparents? They stayed on the floors below to make sure that no one could run away with anything.”

Neldra jumped across sand dunes, passing right by the monsters before they’d even fully realized she was near.

“Unhand him!” The Harem Queen exploded in a column of blue fire and shot ahead of us with a flourish as she tore the side of her dress so that she could move more freely.

Helen’s mother had the same fiery red hair as her daughter, and she did look wickedly intimidating as she leveled her flaming blue sword at us. Even though she was the wet dream of many teens in high school, I had zero interest in her at that moment. Instead, I saw her as a tyrant.

“Hold on.” Neldra squeezed us tight to her side as she sped up even more as she covered the last several platforms. Her sword flashed out in a blur of attacks that drove the Harem Queen back for just a split second. That moment was all Neldra needed to slip into the seventh floor.

The floor was typically another floor of endless sand and bright light. But as we entered, the entire space shone red, and gore covered the ground.

My grandfather flicked his blade as he turned with Neldra’s sudden arrival. “Haha! Come to join us for the fu—” He noticed our expression and his laughter died.
