After endless searching, it really did seem like there was no way out of the place. This wasn’t what they were expecting at all to say the least when they thought of the vampire world. All being stuck in a strange Lab.
"Is this how we’re going to die?" Cia thought, as she was wondering what she had gotten herself into, but just as she felt like she was about to sob her heart out, the lump in her throat had gone away and a refreshing feeling had entered her mind.
"You okay." Layla asked with a smile.
"Yes... Actually... much better." Cia replied.
Frustrated by the whole thing, Vorden was standing by one of the larger doors that was about as large as a van. He pulled out his black blade and started swinging at it, as hard as he could. He knew it was useless, but they didn’t even know how long they had been in the room for and the fear of the unknown of what was going to happen to them started to settle in.
"Just..." *Bang "Open.." *Bang "This..." *Bang "Door!" He shouted.
Just moments later, after Vorden stopped hitting the door, several groans could be heard from above, screams from creatures and a bit of dirt from the ceiling fell.
They all stood in silence waiting for it to pass, and eventually, the groans stopped.
"Maybe it’s not a good idea to do that, when there’s a bunch of Wendigo’s above us." Layla said.
The reason why they were all slightly frozen though was because of the amount of noise they could hear. It sounded as if a hundred people were up there at once, and the structure they were in looked well built. Yet for a brief second, they could hear the sounds of all their footsteps from above.
"Okay, that’s it." Quinn said. "We need to do something. How about I start going into the other rooms? Maybe the trial will start again and we might find something different in the other rooms that can get us out of here."
"Do you think that’s a good idea?" Vorden replied. "What if the trials don’t restart and when you enter the other room, it starts from number three, and we don’t even know if that will even happen? This place looks like it was used for experiments, right? Well, what do you do in an experiment to make it a fair test? You make them all the same but change one factor, not knowing what that factor could be dangerous."
"Well, it’s either that or we stay here until we die, so I see we have no other choice." Quinn replied.
"... You have a point." Said Vorden.
With nothing else to do, Quinn headed over and stood in front of the second door. The others felt a little guilty that Quinn was put in this situation, but it was clear he was the strongest one out of them.
As Logan stood by the terminal, he was ready to press the button to open the door to the second room, but as soon as his finger crazed over the button. His ability started communicating with the terminal again. It still wasn’t talking to him, but he could feel it. They had angered the computer greatly, and it wasn’t going to treat them nicely if Quinn went into that room.
"Maybe it’s not a good idea after all," Logan said, lifting his hand off the button. "It’s hard to explain, but my ability showed me something. The way the machine is acting, it’s like its human. I think it was annoyed by Quinn’s actions from earlier. I don’t think it will be putting you through normal trials anymore if you go in there. It might even override me here, shutting you in and never opening the door again."
This was something Quinn didn’t like the sound of. Truthfully, he assumed that completing the trials wouldn’t open the side doors and only amount to more rewards and the possibility of levelling up. However, the risk and reward just weren’t worth it.
Walking around, Quinn stood back outside door one and started to think. "Those Wendigos came from above right, and we all heard them up there. Which means they have to be coming from somewhere, right?"
"You can’t be thinking of trying to go up there?" Layla asked. "Did you hear how many they were, even for you, that would just mean death."
Quinn shook his head. "Not up there, but I was thinking. Every time a trial started, what happened right at the beginning? It would always drop a severed arm. Only then, would it drop the Wendigos in after. Which means the human body parts and the wendigos are stored in two different places. I mean, if they were to put it together all the food would be gone. Maybe if we go up there, we can find something."
"And how do we get in the room?" Cia asked.
He tried again a few times and... then success. The panel had been slashed in half, falling to the floor, but with it. Small amounts of blood had dripped down and fell onto Vorden’s cheeks. freēwebnovel.com
"It was when Vorden did his little act earlier. Glathrium is extremely rare and hard to mold, so some of it might not be pure like the doors. But when part of the ceiling had crumbled and fell into the room earlier, I checked it out with my inspect skill. Turns out it wasn’t a hundred percent Glathrium. The problem was, I wasn’t going to go and start blasting the ceiling, possibly dropping hundreds of wendigos on top of us. If the ceiling in there wasn’t pure Glathrium, then maybe here it wasn’t either."
They all continued to look at the hole above them, each just staring at it, wondering what was up there.
"Can someone please hurry up and go in!" Quinn complained. "This is tiring you know."
"Oh, I thought Vorden was going to go in?" Layla said.
"So did I." Cia replied.
"Why, me, aren’t you the one with the magic powers now?" Vorden replied.
An angry look appeared on her face, but she didn’t say anything, and Cia too was staring Vorden down..
"Fine..." Vorden replied as he looked up at the hole in the ceiling. "Here we go."
