Kain Hikaru of Grimoire Heart also encountered a trap. He took a fancy to a cute stuffed doll, and just as he picked it up and spun around twice, he triggered a trap that forced him to spin with the doll for a day and a night.
This was truly ridiculous. A day and a night—even if he didn't die of exhaustion, the Labyrinth Town event would be over. Left with no choice, he had to admit defeat.
On the other hand, Ieka of Blue Pegasus was quite lucky. Not only did he not trigger any traps, but he also triggered a lucky gift pack and was teleported directly to within three hundred meters of the exit.
"As long as I finish exploring this area, I'll definitely find the exit. Hahaha, I win this game!"
He pushed open a guild door and saw that the exquisite interior was like a royal palace. Amidst his admiration, he spotted the golden throne at the very top. Delighted by the find, he couldn't help but walk toward it.
"Since it's so exquisite, it must be extraordinary. Maybe this is the exit!"
He straightened his clothes and just sat down. The next moment, words began to write themselves out.
"Trap triggered. Teleporting three thousand meters!"
"What??"
Ieka was dumbfounded. Before he could even stand up, his figure instantly vanished.
When his vision returned, he was already in an unfamiliar place.
"What the hell, is this some kind of sick joke!"
Ieka almost had a fit of rage. He picked up a chair by the roadside and started smashing things.
Suddenly, a pink-haired woman appeared in front of him. Unable to control himself, he swung the chair right at her, sending the girl flying ten meters away.
"What are you doing?"
Ikaruga climbed up and cursed loudly. She had just finished off a giant bear when she was ambushed like this; she was so angry she was trembling.
Ieka was still angry himself. Since he had already made a move, he didn't bother apologizing. He flexed his muscles and said, "You want to fight?"
"Damn you!!"
Ikaruga's face darkened. Without another word, she placed her right hand on the hilt of her sword. In an instant, a cold light flashed. Before Ieka could react, he was instantly killed, his body turning into light particles and vanishing.
At that moment, an announcement rang out: "Ieka of Blue Pegasus, eliminated!"
The outside world was in an uproar. No one expected that pink-haired girl to be so ruthless, taking out Ieka in a single move.
Could it be that the pinker the hair, the harder they fight?
Indeed, since entering the Labyrinth Town, this girl was either killing monsters or on her way to kill monsters, cutting through them like vegetables.
Erza showed a look of interest. She hadn't expected to find such a master of the sword; she definitely had to have a proper match with her.
Laxus said confidently, "Her sword is fast, but my lightning is faster!"
Gildarts smiled and said, "That Ikaruga might not be as good as you, but that elder sister named Chine might be a different story."
Everyone was surprised to hear this. "Is that Chine even stronger?"
"That's right. That young girl is unbelievably strong. That restrained sharpness makes my hair stand on end, as if my chest could be pierced in an instant."
Gildarts spoke very seriously. He was afraid the others would underestimate the enemy, so he made it clear.
Now, finally, no one dared to look down on that second-to-last ranked Sword Guild. Their low ranking only meant they had encountered fewer opponents... in the Labyrinth Town.
Beth of Mermaid Heel also encountered hardships. She had intended to launch Carrot Bombs to test for traps for her, but unexpectedly, the trap she triggered landed right on her head. A two-hundred-pound iron ball was chained to her waist, and she couldn't get it off no matter what.
Beth was completely flabbergasted. She walked while dragging the heavy iron ball and was soon panting from exhaustion, sitting down on a roadside chair to rest.
Just then, a gentle voice came: "If you want to rest, why not rest outside."
"Who's there?"
Beth was startled. She looked up to see a man wearing a red Mage uniform, a red hat, and an eye mask walking over elegantly.
The newcomer was Rufus Noah of Sabertooth!
With a gentle smile, he said calmly, "You should just admit defeat. You won't be able to reach the exit carrying that big iron ball."
"Of course, if you're unwilling, I can do it for you."
Beth was furious: "I won't!"
She quickly stood up and activated her Vegetable Magic, firing off dozens of Carrot Bombs.
However, it was completely ineffective. All the Carrot Bombs passed through Rufus's body and hit the area behind him, causing a series of explosions.
Suddenly, words began to write themselves in the air: "Trap triggered. Gravity around the body increased tenfold!"
As the words finished, Beth felt her body sink. She almost fell to her knees. Watching Rufus approach, one thought came to her mind: It's over!
"I am a Memory-Make Mage. I can manifest any magic that exists in my memory and add my own understanding to it."
Rufus smiled slightly. "In other words, I can use many types of magic. Even under normal circumstances, you wouldn't be a match for me."
Beth knew there was no way out. Filled with resentment, she shouted, "I admit defeat!"
As soon as she spoke, she was instantly teleported out.
Rufus smiled and continued walking. He had already used his magical perception to find the gate leading outside. Now he just had to walk there carefully.
Suddenly, he saw a massive beast charging ahead, and its direction was the same as his goal. He was shocked—could this guy have found the exit even faster than him?
"Ice Freeze!"
Rufus rushed forward. At the same time, a magic circle expanded in front of him, and an ice storm covered the area ahead. He quickly caught up to the beast and froze it directly into an ice sculpture.
Bang!
With a roar, the ice shattered into fragments. The beast broke out of the ice and looked at Rufus in a rage: "What are you doing?"
The beast was actually Elfman's transformation; he was currently in his Beast Soul state.
Since he had been wandering around Labyrinth Town and couldn't find the exit, in his frustration, he started charging through everything, thinking he might just crash his way out.
That's what he thought. He didn't expect someone to attack him. Was it to eliminate the competition?
Rufus stepped forward elegantly. "We both know where the exit is, so there's no need to pretend anymore!"
"The exit?" Elfman's expression was startled.
Could it be... He glanced back at the black building. Ignoring Rufus, he sprinted straight toward it!
If that was the exit, why bother fighting? He'd win just by reaching it!
Rufus was slightly taken aback, then chuckled, "Cunning fellow!"
He immediately cast a spell. A golden magic circle expanded, and light and Gravity descended from the sky, instantly pinning Elfman to the ground.
However, in his Beast Soul state, Elfman possessed immense strength and quickly climbed back up. But within a second, Rufus's magic struck again, freezing half of his body.
"This won't hold me!"
He gave a roar, the ice shattered, and his savage strength pushed forward against the Gravity. However, the next moment, his legs were grabbed.
Elfman looked down, his face full of shock. Those were two familiar figures: "Lisanna, and big sister!"
Now his sisters were holding onto his legs, one on each side. If he moved, he would trample them underfoot.
Elfman was furious: "You're too despicable!"
Rufus said helplessly, "Sorry, but since neither ice nor Gravity could stop you, I had no choice but to resort to this."
With that, under Elfman's furious gaze, he stepped into the Black House. Immediately after, the entire Labyrinth Town glowed with light, teleporting everyone out.
