Chapter 185 - 184. and 185. Leaving the Labyrinth and Reunion (2 in 1 Chapter)
"We all know that these Ancient Angels did many experiments and created this Labyrinth just to expand their lifespan and live longer, right?" Little Mathilda said. She sat alongside Tyler, Lily, and the still-sleeping Astrid on top of a wall of the Labyrinth. Despite their strange surroundings, the mood felt surprisingly calm. They all held barbecued meat in their hands, with Tyler’s habit of storing nearly everything in his storage treasure once again saving the day. The group drank Blue Dew Tea, a rare tea from the Rosefall Kingdom, which Tyler had stocked up on during their last trip to the capital.
As they enjoyed their food, Mathilda continued, "This one ancient angel created the Possession technique."
"The same one Evergreen used," Lily said, her tone darkening as she remembered the recent battle.
"Yes. She used it on me, but unlike Evergreen, this soul barely had any power left. It was more like a crumbled soul that was about to extinguish. I simply squashed her and got her memories in return. That’s how I know a lot about the Labyrinth now."
Tyler nodded, a thoughtful look on his face. "I’m glad you’re alright." He reached over and patted Mathilda’s head gently.
Mathilda smirked, a glint of mischief in her eyes. "Oh, do you prefer young girls now?"
*Ouch.* Tyler’s swift smack to her head served as an answer, and she rubbed her head with a pout.
She continued despite the teasing, "There’s also something called the Time Chamber, used for traveling into the future."
"Traveling into the future?" Tyler asked, intrigued by the concept.
"It’s not exactly time traveling," Mathilda clarified, frowning in concentration as she tried to recall the fragmented memories. "It’s more like the time ratio is different inside. For example, someone could go inside for a few days, and months or even years could pass outside. It’s another method the ancient angels probably used to extend their lives. I don’t know where that chamber is, though. My memories of the layout are a little fuzzy."
Tyler rubbed her head again, a silent gesture of support, as Mathilda shrugged.
