Chapter 37: District Thirteen 2

Samael's POV

5th game arena "labyrinth" was about a 15-minute walking distance, So the group got there quickly.

The building was a big three-story Romanesque style with dark wood elements and had "LABYRINTH" written on it with capital letters.

The doors opened by itself and the moment we entered it closed. I felt someone's presence right away and soon an abnormally tall man appeared.

He had long purple hair tied in a ponytail and an eyepatch while another eye was lime green in color.

The man was dressed in a neat butler outfit but what caught my attention the most was tattoos that were covering his whole body.

The moment the man appeared I felt Rana flinch a bit in disgust and I knew right away she didn't like our new acquaintance. 

I knew he couldn't see so I constantly explained everything to make it easier for him.

Right after the man appeared he bowed down a bit and spoke a few seconds later.

"Hello young masters and misses my name is Zeki and I am the host of this game arena.

Since you have passed the qualifying game I shall introduce you to a few new rules.

The first rule is that if a person participates in one game they have to skip the next one.

The second rule is that you must participate in at least two games before you close all eight games of this district. The members who won't do that will die and won't be able to continue to the next phase.

The Third rule is that other than all previous rules of each game had their unique additional rules that you must follow, which will be known to you once you choose who will participate in the game.

And the last rule is that it doesn't matter if you have to send 2, 3, 5 or more people in the game as long as one of them comes back alive it will count as a success.

Now then, this game requires four people to be sent in and you have 10 minutes to choose the participants. Then I will explain the rules and the game shall start." The man named Zeki finished his words and it took a few second for there stupid humans to understand what he said before they broke out in a heated discussion.

I didn't bother with these ants, I couldn't care what they did as long as Rana didn't tell me to do something I had no reason to make a move.

Anyway this place might be dangerous for someone else but even if I was injured it was a piece of cake for me.

What worried me was Rana's safety but seeing how he is dealing with it all so easily gave my heart a little relief.

After about five minutes I heard a loud voice that quieted the rest. It was the voice of the guy I recognized from the restaurant that Rana said was his brother. His name was Zoel if I am not wrong.

"Quiet we won't get anywhere like this." As expected from Rana's brother he at least has a bit of the brain compared to the rest.

Then I saw Him turn toward Rana and ask 

"What do you think?"

Rana also looked at him though he could not see his eyes narrowed a bit then he spoke.

"The name of the game is "Labyrinth" so most likely we will have to get somewhere or find something or something similar, so it would be best to choose people who are fast and have ability advantages."

After hearing his words a short girl who stayed quiet all this time spoke up.

"I will take this game."

The girl's voice was so quiet that people barely heard it, in addition she was so short and had no presence at all. I didn't really care about what she did and since Rana didn't tell me to participate in this game I stayed quiet.

"Okay, who else?" Asked Zoel

"I will." Said his companion Shio, I think was his name.

"We need two more."

"Why don't you go yourself?" Said a guy with brown hair and light yellow eyes.

"It's not my strong point." Said Zoel then that guy turned to Rana.

"What about you? You were the one that said people who are fast should go." His words annoyed me, and I wanted to kill him where he stood, but I decided to stay quiet for now.

"I am blind." Said Rana surprising all of these ants.

"How convenient." Muttered the same guy to himself but everyone heard it. I was so annoyed that if Rana didn't motion for me to stop I would have cut that guy in half right where he stood.

"Yes it's very convenient, if you want this advantage I can help you and you also won't have to go in "Labyrinth." I couldn't help but laugh at her words. It was especially funny when compared to the serious face she had while saying these words.

I wasn't the only one who was amused, well everyone was except the guy himself and in order to cover his embarrassment he couldn't help but blurt out that he would participate in the game and the last member who joined the group was a guy with a fiery temper called Emir.

I didn't really like this guy, well not that I liked anyone here.

The moment the participants were chosen that butler guy appeared once again.

"Since you have already chosen who will participate in the game then I shall explain the rules. Each of you will receive a stone that represent different element fire, water, earth or air you will have to each find the exit of the labyrinth and place the stone in designated place there, when you do that you will have to go through the last trial and only after all four trials are completed will you be able to open the door and exit the labyrinth.

Are there any questions?"

"What happens if one person dies before completing the trial?" Asked Rana.

"If someone dies before the completion of the trial then another person will have to go to his body and finish the trial for two or more people.

"Is there a time limit?" Asked Zoel.

"Yes Time limit is 1 hour."

How do we know if someone is dead?" Asked Emir.

"With this." Said purple butler guy as he pulled out four bracelets that had four stones embodied in them.

"If the stone lights up that means the trial has been completed, if it cracks that means that the owner has died and someone needs to go for the stone, if someone already picked it up then the crack will once again be filled and so on."
