Chapter 130: B2: C30: Into Hannah’s Dungeon
First things first, Zarian checked the network connection between him and the recon spiders while keeping his feet planted in one place. He also looked around with his own eyes.
His starting location was an enormous chamber that was moving around him. Different size cubes slid, docked, tumbled, and configured themselves like Hannah had merged a death game with the inner workings of a Rubik Cube and a three-dimensional display of Tetris.
Even the light sources shifted around.
Zarian saw blocks that were solely made for illumination travel along the jagged edges of the ceiling and down the uneven walls. The light sources would sometimes disappear into random recesses that open and closed unpredictably.
The only thing that remained somewhat stable were dark cubic formations and four colored paths.
Zarian had no idea what the rules of the game were in Hannah’s prototype dungeon, but he knew what she’d done here was a feat worth marveling over. He hoped Empress Ruvaria was a little impressed while overlooking everything.
Still, he had to test if he could push his way through the network jammer that was blocking his connection with the recon spiders. The harder he pushed, the more he could get past the fuzz, but it took some considerable concentration.
He reached a point where it wasn’t worth pushing anymore and dropped the recon.
While such an inconvenience might’ve bothered most others, he was actually proud. Hannah had found a way to jam his spider network and keep him somewhat blind to other chambers and hallways unless the spectral spiders were in the same section with him.
