Chapter 426 Mirrors Of The Heart [Part 1]
“Congratulations. You dealt with the Minotaur!”
A round of applause then sounded out of nowhere, making Sebastian comment something along the lines of “I like this guy”, which made Ethan’s Other Half chuckle.
“But since you killed the son, the Father will come after you next. Friendly reminder that this guy is three times stronger than the one you just defeated. Good luck running away from him!”
After saying those words, the body of the Minotaur turned into particles of light and disappeared, leaving nothing behind.
Ethan, who was about to continue using the right-hand method, placed his hand over the wall to ensure that he wouldn’t get lost.
But as soon as his hand touched the wall, the path in front of him suddenly rearranged itself creating four intersections.
“No way!” Sebastian exclaimed. “This maze is cheating!”
As if hearing the Guardian’s complaints, Fortis Dud’s voice once again echoed within the maze.
“Oh, I forgot to mention earlier that each time a Guardian is defeated, the design of the maze will change. So for those who are using the left-hand method or the right-hand method, I’m sorry, but this trick will not work in this maze. Feel free to try though!”
“I take back what I said earlier,” Sebastian snorted. “I don’t like this guy.”
Ethan and his Other Half both nodded their heads in agreement.
“He might just be bluffing,” Ethan’s Other Half commented. “So, let’s continue using the right-hand method.”
The young man nodded and headed toward the rightmost intersection. His hand was still touching the wall, so he wouldn’t get confused.
However, after making a turn, Ethan found himself staring at his own reflection on the wall.
“Mirrors,” Ethan muttered before glancing at the wall where his hand was resting.
There he saw his reflection looking back at him.
However, this reflection seemed a little playful. The figure in the mirror waved its hand as if saying hello despite Ethan not waving his hand.
“It doesn’t matter what kind of tricks this guy is using,” Ethan’s Other Half commented. “Even if this turned into a mirror maze the concept remains the same. Just don’t get distracted by the illusions.”
Ethan knew that his Other Half was right. Despite the environment changing, the mirror maze was still a maze.
The same rules applied to it, at least he hoped.
As the young man continued to walk by following the right path, he noticed several girls following him on the other wall.
Chloe, Luna, Lily, Nicole, Lilian, and Emma. The six girls were walking on the opposite side of him with various expressions on their faces.
His cousin, Chloe, was giving him a disapproving look with her arms crossed over her chest.
Luna, on the other hand, was smiling at him sweetly, even waving her hand to say hello.
Lily was in her Demi-Wolf form and gave Ethan the “I know what you did last summer” look, which mildly amused him.
Nicole was wearing a fancy dress, which highlighted her beauty as a lady. However, the Nicole whom Ethan knew never wore this kind of dress, which made him see her in a new light.
When his gaze landed on Lilian, the Half-Elf almost did a double take because the young lady was wearing a two-piece bikini, highlighting her curves.
Ethan still hadn’t seen Lilian’s naked body because he believed that both of them weren’t ready to take that step yet.
He wanted to nurture their feelings for each other before they took that final step in their relationship.
But after seeing how cute she was in a ponytail and a blue bikini, Ethan couldn’t help but give the young lady two thumbs up in his heart.
Emma, who was at the back of the formation, made Ethan’s eyes wander in inappropriate places.
The young lady was wearing an almost transparent black nightgown, highlighting the womanly curves of her body.
Among Ethan’s lovers, Emma was the most developed one. The two of them had also slept together, but despite not doing anything, he couldn’t help but feel his body getting heated due to how sensual she looked.
Unlike Luna and Lilian, who had innocent appeals, Emma was the epitome of sensuality.
She had mentioned once that Ethan could embrace her anytime he wanted and promised to give him a night to remember.
Seeing these four ladies side by side made Ethan wonder what Fortis Dud was thinking when he created this maze.
After walking for a few more minutes, Ethan’s sixth sense warned him of a danger that was about to happen.
Not knowing what that danger was, his gaze landed on the opposite wall, where the four ladies were following him silently.
Suddenly, Lily sprang out from the wall with her claws ready to strike.
Ethan, who was already on his guard, rolled over to the side before raising his hand to summon the Sea God's Trident.
Just as he was about to engage Lily in a fight, Nicole jumped out of the wall with a rapier in hand.
She was still wearing the beautiful dress, but this didn’t hinder her from unleashing a fury of sword strikes on Ethan, forcing the young man to take a few steps back.
While this was happening, the four other girls on the wall joined the battle in their own ways.
Chloe started shooting Fire Bullets with her wand, which Ethan was barely able to evade due to how sudden it was.
Luna, on the other hand, jumped out of the wall, holding a whip which she soon lashed at Ethan, intending to coil it around his arm.
The young man managed to dodge this attack on time, only to be hit by Lilian’s flying kick, which he almost failed to block.
However, the force of the kick was still strong enough to make him skid several meters on the ground.
Finally, Emma made her move and started throwing cards, which were as sharp as knives.
Faced with these three ladies, who seemed to be hell-bent on taking his life, Ethan held his ground and cast a spell.
“Aqua Anguis!”
Countless Water Snakes emerged under Ethan’s feet and headed straight towards their targets.
However, instead of targeting the girls, the young man ordered the snakes to smash the mirrors surrounding them.
Soon the sound of shattering glass spread in the mirror maze, drowning out the screams of the six ladies who held a place in Ethan’s heart.
