Chapter 221: The Labyrinth (15)
Rumble-!
Like a signal that the Gray Reaper had entered the crack in the space, the huge space made of flowing sand began to collapse as soon as the Gray Reaper disappeared.
The flowing sand sky that supported the space like the sky began to pour down like a waterfall. Wherever the girl looked, there were waterfalls of sand everywhere. Those waterfalls of sand filled the surroundings like a castle wall made of sand and gradually approached the girl.
She had no place to escape. It was an extremely dangerous moment. A torrent of sand that was much heavier and harder than water. A waterfall of death that she wouldn’t survive the moment she was swept away by it.
The sight was simply too overwhelming for the girl to react.
The torrent of sand arrived right in front of her in the blink of an eye, so the girl couldn’t even think about running away and just stared blankly.
Biiii-!
Fortunately for her, the Black Reapers around her created a huge dome to protect her and the dog meat uncle. The moment the black dome wrapped around the girl, a torrent of sand began to shake everything. It was like riding a ride, flipping over and causing chaos, but she managed to stay alive.
The inside of the dome, which seemed solid, was softer than expected. Many small hands held the girl’s body, and it was not as dark as expected. The Black Reapers’ eyes sparkled like stars in the night sky.
The girl smiled faintly as she looked at the odd-eyed white and yellow starlight, which gave off a unique presence.
After a while, the vibrations that had been shaking everything stopped. Then, cracks began to appear in the pitch-black dome as if it was an egg breaking. Then, sunlight began to seep through the cracks.
As the girl slowly walked towards the sunlight, the pitch-black dome dispersed into small Black Reapers again, creating a passage for the girl to pass through..
As the girl stepped outside the dome, she saw a large stone monument that she saw whenever she was about to go to the labyrinth. However, the labyrinth beyond the monument was no longer visible.
In place of the labyrinth, there was a sand vortex that seemed to reach the sky. In addition, the fake sky that always looked the same was gone. There’s also a huge ring of light all across the sky, radiating its presence over the city.
Tap-! Tap-!
At that moment, the odd-eyed reaper on her shoulder tapped her cheek.
“?”
When the girl turned her head towards it, the odd-eyed reaper waved its hand as if saying goodbye.
I have to go back to my mother!
The girl could not feel the will that the reaper was sending, but for some reason, she could tell what the odd-eyed reaper was trying to say.
“Okay, hurry up and go.”
The odd-eye reaper nodded with a bright smile after hearing the girl’s words. It then threw itself into the vortex of sand with the other Black Reapers.
Seeing the departing Black Reaper, who had always been with her, the girl felt a little lonely. However, she still hoped that it would return safely as she gazed towards the violently swirling vortex.
