Chapter 17: Level 4
Max stood on a boulder, as he looked around for a small cave where they could rest. Fortunately, the cave system provided a lot of safe points.
In just a few seconds of searching, he found a relatively good cave which was higher off the floor, so they wouldn't have to worry about any attacks too, well to some extent.
"That should do it," Max smiled and gestured for the two ladies to follow him.
After traversing a short distance, they reached the cave and slumped down on the ground. For a moment, nobody talked as they simply had their body get some rest.
For the last few hours, they had been going around to look for any monsters and then proceeded to slay them.
Lower-level monsters were easy and swift to defeat, but the higher-leveled monsters were a tough nut. Nonetheless, they had managed to hunt the monsters while keeping themselves alive.
Having a healer definitely proved to be helpful as there were many instances where they were injured, but Charlotte quickly healed them.
The last one of their battle was most gruesome because they met a monster Max had no clue about. After all, he had not personally made all the monsters of this world.
Some were just random and they were harder to deal with. Nevertheless, they managed to defeat it and decided to call it a day.
Max sighed, feeling a strange pull on his soul. It was weird, as when he checked, there was nothing in sight. However, he still felt that pull, as if something was calling him.
"The pull from the portal, huh. It really pulls your soul... or rather, the world pulls you back," Max thought, remembering how the labyrinth worked.
