Chapter 743 Trying to Escape the Prison

"What the f*ck???" Nyx stood up the moment she saw Shiro jump into the portal while Gaia face palmed.

"Sh*t! I should have just blocked up that portal. Why the hell did the crazy girl enter there???" Nyx said as she currently had a face of disbelief.

"Because she was struggling against the giant. I think she thought the portal was a clue of sorts. If I was in her shoes, I wouldn’t expect it to lead to your toughest prison either." Gaia sighed.

"Yes but who jumps into a portal that they know nothing about?"

"Her?" Gaia pointed at Shiro as Nyx stayed silent.

". . . I should have taken that into account when I summoned the giant." Nyx slumped down as tapped the table a few times.

"The longer she stays in there, the harder it is for her to get out. Once the prison has left its mark on her, she’ll be trapped there forever." Nyx frowned.

"Can’t you just give her the key or something?" Gaia asked.

"Normally I could but since she’s in the middle of a trial, I can’t influence it directly like that. The most I can do is darken the sky or make things harder. I can’t make things easier. The system won’t allow it. Giving her the key means making things easier." Nyx explained as Gaia frowned.

"She should still be able to petrify the monsters in there right?"

"Nope. The wardens that I placed in there are immune to any special statuses like being frozen or petrified. You have to kill them with brute force. And even then, their defences are quite high. The only good news is that they don’t have any magic themselves and the most they can do is bite or claw at you." Nyx shook her head.

"But they’re still physically superior right?" Gaia raised her eyebrow.

"They’re equal to people who have 5 divinities." Nyx coughed awkwardly.

*Sigh...

"What can we do then?" Gaia asked as she wasn’t keen on letting Shiro die like this in the trial.

"Not much. But there is someone whom I can enlist." Nyx frowned.

"Who?"

"The person whom she talked to." Nyx snapped her finger and changed the view to reveal a person locked up in chains. He had long grey hair that had lost its colour after being locked away in the prison for so long. His body was surprisingly thin as he looked like he’d break with a single breath.

Marked on his body was the faint sigils belonging to different divinities that looked as though they were about to completely fade away.

Currently he is looking at Shiro as she was keeping her guard up.

"You want to enlist his help?" Gaia frowned.

"Mn." Nyx nodded.

"How are you sure that he’ll even help you out? Didn’t you put him in this state after he failed your tower and betrayed the spirit race?"

"I’m nothence why I’m able to enlist his help. By having him ’help’ it technically makes the trial harder as we don’t know what he’ll do. Plus, he technically didn’t betray the spirit race. You know his personality before. Hopefully Shiro can persuade him to help her but for now, undoing his chains should tell him about what needs to be done." Nyx frowned.

"You’re gambling with chances right now."

"When have I not been gambling when it comes to Shiro?" Nyx laughed.
