After several hours, sandstorm start raging. Those red eyes, golden skin, tall and rock hard. Everything indicating one thing- 'Run for your fucked up life'.
'Fuck me... Level 5 Space Rythm: Rush' Chen Xiao cursed in his mind and start running with everything he got. But can a Advance Tier mage who doesn't have mobility spells of same Tier, run from a monarch. Hell the mage couldn't even run from a great commander.
"Level 5 Space Rythm: Delay"
A large number of rocks come flying towards Chen Xiao. Many of them got stopped but some of them hit Chen Xiao.
'Bastard weren't you only suppose to chase me away why are you attacking me.' Chen Xiao understood running is not an option.
"Level 5 Space Rythm: Rush"
"Level 5 Chaos Accelerator"
"Chaos Shield"
"Void Wall"
SHATTERED!
"Totem Snake Armour" Chen Xiao's speed increase greatly but still pale in comparison to monarch's. A rocky hand hit him and send him crashing in sand.
"Hydra Armour"
A huge palm slam Chen Xiao in sand.
"A BACKSTABBER WHO ABANDONE HIS FRIENDS SHOULD DIE" Monarch stated.
"BASTARD WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE ME?!" Chen Xiao shouted, monarch's hand covered in silver colour slowly get off Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao upgrade his Lightning Element to Level 5 Advance Tier.
"PISS OFF!" Chen Xiao using his Space Element push back the monarch by one step.
"Level 1 Blink: Single" Chen Xiao appear 1Km away from monarch. Monarch notice his magic and start moving in his direction.
"Chaos Accelerator: Level 5"
"Level 5 Space Rythm: Rush"
"Chaos Funnel: Level 5"
"Level 5 Lonely Death Lightning: Hydra: Lightning Trident."
"Level 4 Space Rythm: Compression"
.
.
"Chaos Funnel: Level 4"
"Level 5 Lonely Death Lightning: Hydra: Lightning Trident."
"Level 4 Space Rythm: Compression"
"Void Lightning Trident" Chen Xiao launch the Trident but monarch also launched a sand tornado to disturb Chen Xiao, when it realised strength of the the spell.
[Multiplier of 'Hydra' = 6
Hydra Armour(4x but no possess, so) = 2
Combination of Multiple Lightning Spell= 4

this much.)

Multiplier of 'Chaos Funnel' = 3
Total Multiplier= 3(6+4+2+4) = 48

"Bull's... " Trident hit the monarch but Chen Xiao also got hit and got strangled in tornado, monarch's body break into half, it eyes still shining red after few seconds the glow disappeared so did the tornado. Inertia throw Chen Xiao in sand forming a 2m deep and 5m wide crater. He is in battered condition and fell unconscious.
IN THE MAZE(3rd Person)
Mo Fan stopped on a sand dune and cast 'Fiery Fist' in the sky. After 5 minutes, he again cast 'Fiery Fist'.
This time, 'Wind Disc' appeared far away. Mo Fan cast 'Fiery Fist: Nine Dragons' which went even higher.
Many other spell appear in the sky from another direction.
"This place is nuts. At least we found that missing team." Mo Fan had enough of this maze.
After few minutes, Mo Fan again casted spell and response got little closer.
After half an hour, African team reach at Mo Fan's place.
"Are you here for rescuing us?" an African asked.
"Yes, we should be going now." Mo Fan said and start moving towards Mu Ningxue.
"You have really planned well, I was first afraid you were also lost while searching for us." a rescued team member complimented after seeing another signal which must be 5th member of Chinese team.
Tthe group reach Zhao Manyan who almost start crying.
"Guys, there is a huge trouble. Chen Xiao... he hasn't send any signal from last 2 hours." Zhao Manyan explode a bomb on everyone.
"What?!" Everyone have troubled reaction without any contact from outside they are as good as lost.
"Are you sure? could it be you were only looking in one direction? directions keep changing here." Mo Fan asked hopefully.
"You think I don't know that. I have been doing my best to find any sign of his signal." Zhao Manyan said.
"Is it possible something happened to him?" Nanyu said doubtfully.
"There are lot of monsters around here. Encountering a demon horde is not rare occurrence here. I'm afraid your friend might got attacked by monster." a rescued team member said.
"Hmph, a demon horde is nothing to him." Bai Cangfeng denied the idea of Chen Xiao losing to demon horde.
"Maybe he got attacked by a commander." a rescued team said trying to calibrate 'Chen Xiao' guy's strength.
"One or two commanders are nothing for him but more than that even Chen Xiao have to take a step back." Jiang Yu said from his experience. Chen Xiao have alone defeated a Sea Drake without losing a single strand of hair, there are not many commanders on par with it, his words shocked African team and Mu Ningxue.
"What do we do now?" Bai Cangfeng asked, he doesn't care about what attacked Chen Xiao as he knows Chen Xiao more than Jiang Yu.
"We should wait here this is the closest place to the exit. South Africa's rescue squad will also be coming by today." Nanyu try to calm everyone.
"Yeah" Zhao Manyan agreed.
IN EVENING(Chen Xiao)
"Ouch..." Chen Xiao opened his eyes but pain force him to close them again.
'Haha... it seems I survived the fight. Such a feminist monster, in novel it spared Nanyu but in reality it tried it's best to kill me.' Chen Xiao cursed inwardly don't dare to do any unnecessary movements.
After 1 hour, enduring the pain I finally stood up.
"Hydra" Chen Xiao call out Hydra and sit on top of it.
"Go in that direction." Chen Xiao commanded.
After few minutes, I reach the place.
"Return" Chen Xiao call back Hydra.
"Level 5 Thunderbolt: Hydra: Lightning Pillar." Chen Xiao casted a spell and fell down on sand.
IN THE MAZE(3rd Person)
The group set up tent and just finished their dinner.
"This is so frustrating, why did I even come here? I'm not short on money or anything." Zhao Manyan complaint.
"Calm down Old Zhao, money is not everything. Think about when you will tell your children bedtime stories. You will be bragging how you're few of those mages who came out of a forbidden zone unscathed. Your children will be proud of you." Mo Fan said.
"Don't forget we are still stuck here." Zhao Manyan said.
"It's Lightning... this must be Chen Xiao." Jiang Yu said while pointing his finger in certain direction. Everyone hopefully looked in the pointed direction.
"Everyone pack your stuff, we are moving." Nanyu said.
In few minutes, everyone rushed in the direction of Lightning.
After few minutes, another Lightning Pillar appeared.
"I will smack that bastard's head for freaking us out." Jiang ShaoXu said. Nobody showed but everyone was scared shitless when Chen Xiao went missing.
OUTSIDE THE MAZE(Chen Xiao)
'Where the hell are those bastards? don't tell me they freaked out and run deeper in the maze." Chen Xiao thought and cast the spell 4th time.
"He's there." Jiang Yu shouted.
"Oh my... what happened?" Jiang ShaoXu exclaimed at Chen Xiao's condition, although she can only get glimpses of Chen Xiao because of darkness but whatever she saw was blood and battered clothes.
"Fucking hell, we need to get out of this fucking place, this instant." Zhao Manyan pour some light and got freaked out seeing Chen Xiao's condition, if something here can made such condition of Chen Xiao then that thing must be insanely strong.
"I agree" Chen Xiao said in pain.
"So, what attacked you?" Nanyu asked her ears stood straight for any unknown and unfriendly sound.
"An evil elemental spirit, the moment I killed it, it turned into dust." Chen Xiao said while standing up with Jiang ShaoXu's and Bai Cangfeng's help
"So you killed it, that's reassuring but I will still say, we should get out of this fucking place." Zhao Manyan said.
NEXT DAY(410M, 2C, 41W, 66S, 38PLS)
We board the helicopter send for us. As soon as I lay down on comfortable bed, I fell asleep.
"So what do you guy's think about level of the evil elemental spirit, Chen Xiao was talking about?" Jiang Yu asked curiously, he don't like Chen Xiao's current condition but he also want his Night Rakshasa to be strong enough to give Chen Xiao a very tough fight.
"A commander maybe?" Zhao Manyan said and got retarded look from everyone on board.
"I think an above average commander." Mu Ningxue said comparing him with that time when he fought against a commander in maritime fortress.
"Nope, you weren't with us that time but Chen Xiao alone take down a Sea Drake all alone without much effort. If you ask me, I would say a Great Commander." Jiang Yu said confidently.
"I have also seen him fighting a Sea Drake and funny thing was that Sea Drake was literally running away from Chen Xiao. So, I agree with Jiang Yu, only a Great Commander can hurt Chen Xiao this much." Bai Cangfeng stated his opinion.
"That Sea Drake must have high intelligence, it's good thing Chen Xiao killed it." Jiang Yu said.
"His condition is even worse than before, I don't think he will be recovering any soon." Nanyu said.
"If anyone of us happened to be in his place, we would have most likely died and everyone of us would have lost in maze." Jiang ShaoXu said.
"No objection." Zhao Manyan said.
"You think he knew about that evil elemental spirit." Jiang Yu asked.
"You think so?" Mo Fan said.
"He was the first one to refuse to the idea of coming to Sahara and he was unusually serious. He must have known something." Jiang Yu reasoned.
"Sahara is a forbidden place, you can't blame him for being serious." Nanyu said.
"Don't you remember what Chen Xiao said before we left? he said not to freak out if someone doesn't send signal and hold your position. What will you say about this?" Jiang Yu asked.
"Arrggg... we just get out of that cursed place and you are still talking about it. We are alive and that's everything I need." Zhao Manyan said.
