The two decided to return to the starting point.
However, they failed to reach the labyrinth’s starting point even after passing through several stone chambers.
“This is strange. I don’t remember going past so many stone chambers when we first entered this place. I’m following the direction we traveled earlier, so how is this happening?”
Tapio said solemnly, “The labyrinth seems to be playing tricks with our psyche. It only seemed like we were returning through the same path, but we’re actually going deeper inside.”
“Then, which stone chamber are we at right now?”
James took out the floor plan and tried to identify their location.
Tapio shrugged and said, “How would I know?”
“What should we do?”
Tapio racked his brains for a plan.
“I know!”
Tapio shouted out of the blue.
“Hmm?”
James looked at him in confusion.
Tapio walked toward James.
Then, he whispered, “James…”
James paid close attention to his words.
Suddenly, Tapio thrust his palm at James’ chest.
Tapio had ascended the third stair and attacked with all his force.
James let his guard down because he never thought that Tapio would attack him. Therefore, he was unprepared for the sudden attack.
His body was sent flying and it crashed into a stone wall. Then, he fell to the ground.
Hurk!
He choked out a mouthful of blood.
“You…” James pointed at Tapio. He wanted to speak but his body was wracked with pain the moment he attempted to open his mouth to speak.
He immediately put himself into a lotus position and circulated his True Energy to suppress the turbulent Blood Energy in his body.
He quickly dropped the sword and checked his palm. The sword had burned his skin on contact.
“What an interesting sword…,” he murmured.
James glared at Tapio and asked, “Why did you attack me? What are you trying to achieve?”
He was trying to buy time because his body had been severely injured. If Tapio, attacked again, James would not be able to survive it.
A few minutes was enough for him to close up his injuries. Although he might be incapable of killing Tapio while fighting in an injured state, he was confident he would be able to escape.
Tapio glanced at James and said calmly, “There really isn’t a reason. I simply wanted to teach you not to trust anyone from the ancient martial world. Regardless of the situation, you must stay on your guard. That’s all. You’re on your own from here on out. I’m getting out of here.”
After Tapio finished speaking, he turned away and departed.
He did not bother with James, nor did he care about the Primordial Dragon Blade on the ground.
James looked on in confusion.
“He simply wanted to teach me not to trust anyone?”
He was puzzled by Tapio’s sudden behavior.
