Alex and his group soon got their path reopened once the walls shifted again. After a quick scan of their path forward, they dashed at their usual speed and formation.

The void creatures they encountered along their path were swiftly eliminated by Ross and Julia, helping the students by extension. Of course, not all students were struggling as they even encountered students of their own class.

In that case, they just ignored them and zoomed past them without bothering them. They were just as good as they were and the speed at which they killed the creatures was just as impressive. The only thing they had to watch out for was the rain of abilities flying around.

"We''ve wasted a lot of time being trapped in that room. We should try to cover as much ground as possible." Alex stated and the others nodded.

Their run was smooth for the most part as the void creatures posed little threat to them, at least those on the fourth floor.

But things were about to take a serious turn. Two minutes into their ran, the floor and walls began to rumble again.

"Already!"

Abigail exclaimed in frustration. They hadn''t covered that much ground since their release. What''s more, the number of turns they were making to cover a straight distance to the next level was more than four times in the beginning.

"Forget about that and keep your eyes peeled!" Ross replied with a stern voice. They didn''t have the luxury of wandering when the maze would shift its walls.

Alex''s eyes furrowed as he watched the movements of the floor and walls. For some reason, he felt this shift would be different, but he wasn''t sure how.

The experiences of their predecessors varied each year. As there was always something new to watch out for. His gaze moved to Julia on his right and watched her calmly.

The way she moved with attention to her surroundings and the occasional looking back at him showed how committed she was to watching out for him. Of course, he did the same.

She was not particularly worried about him, but she wondered where the other guy went.

"Where''s Ross?" She asked.

Julia instantly realized he was missing as well and fell on her knees with both hands on the ground. The tears were already falling from her eyes with a broken expression on her face.

Abigail noticed how the girl was nearly broken and moved towards her, ''What''s with this girl? If anything, those two should be fine, especially Alex.''

"Erm... Julia? Wherever Alex and Ross were sent, I''m sure they will be fine." Abigail began, trying to raise her spirit, but the poor girl continued to sob.

Sighing to herself, she moved closer and kneeled before her, "Alex and Ross should be making their way to the next floor up. Shouldn''t we be doing the same?"

Hearing her words. Julia came out of her self-misery and quickly stood up, wiping the tears from her eyes. Her act nearly sent Abigail tumbling. She could only shake her head in defeat. The girl was a crazy she had never seen before.

"You''re right. Sitting here and moping about his disappearance isn''t going to bring him back. I have to find him myself!" She boldly exclaimed; her right hand made into a fist to express her determination.

However, before she could do anything else, the loud roars and screeches of void creatures were already upon them. It seemed her screams from earlier had drawn them here.

''Fuck...''

Abigail could only cuss their bad luck. With Alex and Ross gone, Julia would be doing most of the heavy lifting and while she could hold her own, she knew it would take more than one arrow to eliminate a void creature.

The problem was the creatures weren''t just going to be standing there for her to shoot. They were just as fast as they were.

"Don''t worry, I''ll take care of most of them," Julia said and retrieved her sword from her waist. The air around her had also changed, matching her expression; she was mad.
