Holden watched the moving panels.
The corridor was getting smaller. And the blades were becoming faster.
The Architect's voice returned.
"Wonderful. Your reactions are even better than I expected."
A faint clicking sound followed.
"I designed this maze to study how cultivators respond to attacks they cannot predict. The panels constantly change position, and the blades appear in different combinations each time."
He paused.
"The longer you remain inside, the more difficult it becomes."
As if responding to his words, the walls shifted again.
BOOM!
Several panels slammed into place, cutting off part of the corridor behind them.
The ceiling lowered.
More blades emerged.
FWIP! FWIP! FWIP!
Emric barely managed to deflect two attacks with his shield.
A third blade came from below.
He jumped aside, landing heavily beside Renna.
"This is bad!"
"That's your opinion?" Renna shouted.
"I'm serious! I can't find a pattern!"
