Chapter 169: No way out
The scream tore through the metallic chamber like a blade, echoing off the lifeless walls and drilling into everyone’s nerves. Meira’s hands clutched her face as if she could claw her way out of this nightmare. "No... no no no no NO! I died! I felt it! I was gone!" she sobbed, trembling uncontrollably. "Why am I still here?!"
Everyone was too stunned to move, except Damon. He quickly tried the tattoo on his hand, but he already had a feeling of what would happen. Nothing. Absolutely nothing at all.
He also took out the metallic balls he had found in the tinkerer’s house, and once again, there was no reaction. They were completely trapped with no way out.
"Then what about server shutdown?" Sylvara slowly asked, her voice filled with dread.
Damon could only shake his head. "I don’t think even that is going to let us out. I have heard about traps like this. The prison trap is something similar. Once you get imprisoned and sent to the main underworld prison, there is simply no way out. But this one seems to be more vicious than that. At least in the prison trap, one gets to leave the game world and simply quit playing the game. But we are in some sort of complete lockout."
A heavy silence settled over the group as everyone stared at the metallic walls in horror.
"So... we’re not just locked in the dungeon," Nevin whispered, his throat dry. "We’re locked in the game."
Damon closed his eyes and tried contacting Blood Reign. "Blood Reign, do you see any way out of here?" Unexpectedly, even Blood Reign did not respond to him. Damon’s eyes widened. It couldn’t be?
However, the next second, a giggling sound popped into his mind. "Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. It was the perfect chance to tease you!" The naughty weapon spirit continued laughing.
