Supreme Origin: Time King

Chapter 162: XXIII Great Labyrinth

While most were rejoicing the birth of a new celestial, Elijah had just entered the first floor and was surprised by what he saw.

 [Tower of Earth(First Floor)  Objective; Clean the great labyrinth of any undead and search for a way out. Time remaining: 500 years.]   

 "Look at this place! The voice was not kidding when it said great labyrinth." Crystal was exclaiming as they observed their surroundings. They were standing in a  floating  platform  connected  with  numerous routes, some leading upward, others downward and many platforms moving from one side to the other.

"We heard there will be undead beings, but I guess they won't appear in the entrance." Seating on the cold floor made of a white material before looking at the many paths, Yawen raised her voice: "There are many ways here, it may really take about five hundred years to explore  all of this." 

"Maybe not. I haven't tested  before but I can make metal bodies and  infuse them with a special imprint. This will make it easier to explore and reduce the time required here."(Elijah)

"Are you sure about this?  Won't have any side effects?" Elijah raised the corners of his lips as he  guessed what was on her mind.

 "No, there will be no side effects other than not being able to use the supreme origin of metal." As he explained how he would make the bodies,  Elijah took a shining silver ring with a golden gem on top of it put on his finger

 "This!..." She observed the ring in Elijah's hand and for a second, he thought to have seen splendor in her eyes. 

 "This is the first artifact I made with the supreme origin of metal. I named it "Governor". The golden gem is my masterpiece, a radiant crystal filled with Ichor and transformed by the power of origin." Swaying his hand, Elijah transmitted all information about the ring to her.

"Oh!!! It can do all of this?"(Yawen)

 "Of course I made it to give me more control over my own powers. With this I can access and store any data I organize it in the way I want while the ring transmits the information to my brain. In the future this little thing will even better as I plan to upgrade it even further after the fairies awake."

Some time later. Elijah, Yawen and Crystal  decided each way they would follow and split ways as Elijah send five metal clones to expand their area of search. While Elijah Wandered Through The labyrinth Corridors, passages would close and others would open. Like this the labyrinth would constantly change.

 Did not took long for him to locate some of the undead. Stepping in a plataform, all passages leadining him to other paths suddenly closed and  beings which Elijah was very familiar with started appearing.

Draugen! A small army of draugen climbed the platform and there was not just draugen, a huge armored draugen holding a large Ulfberht sword rose as a good amount of a different type of draugen surrounded him and took defensive positions.

"Good, time to try my new gadget. Governor!" The ring on his finger lit up brightly as a signal of activation.

 In less than a second, Elijah arrived behind the draugen. At the same time, many words than only he could see appeared before his eyes.

 [One hundred and seventy-six enemies detected. Starting analysis ... Analysis completed. Comparing with the user's data ... Chance of victory ... 99%]

Emerging behing the armored draugen who seemed the strogest of the bunch, his figure had alarmed the draugen around him, when his figure blurred and executed a Strike at the huge Draugen's back. The huge Draugen reacted immediately attacked with his sword but Elijah moved so fast that when the sword hit him, the only thing that it hit was an after-image and a dozen draugen standing behind it.

Spatial Lock! The space surrounding the draugen solidified, impeding their movements, the rotten smell of death envelops Elijah's nasal cavities. Mist-form trinity force gathered into silver lighting.

"Enhanced Void Lightning: Trinity Electric Annihilation!" Holding a lightning sphere three times  bigger than him, Elijah took a deep breath and launched the sphere towards the draugen. With the  power infused into this sphere, not even seventh realm cultivators could avoid being heavily injuried by this move. So using it on a bunch of draugen was a bit of a overkill.

 In that frozen second before the draugen were exterminated under his lightning, he could see their eyes gaze at him. Our faces are unreadable, there was no fear, no hatred, not even provoking smirk as they were all killed under the lightning's unbeatable strength. After wiping them out, Elijah was standing still. There is no pleasure in his face, as he never expected to be, but he knew this was only the start.

 Time passed quickly in the labyrinth and Elijah had no Idea how much time passed since he entered. Every day, he would call Yawen with his neo origin and talk with her for a few hours before rushing out and killing undead until the end of the day. Other than Draugen, he would  find Phantom, Skeleton and even a Lich King.

From all the undead he faced, the Lich King was the most annoying  to kill all they would all  summon endlessly and he would be quickly surrounded by them so much that it would take ages to finish the fight. He even a lost a finger once and had to wait more than a year for it to be restored. 

In truth, most of the undead were pretty weak, bordering around the fourth realm, but there was  their numbers and resistance that would make killing them so hard even if they could not injure him.

 "At least ten years have passed by now." Elijah thought to himself as he faced a group of ten thousand undead creatures. Since the start, he had killed over a billion undead but even  more would appear soon after. At first, he liked hunting undead because he felt himself becoming stronger but after some time, everything started to feel dull.

 "I will call Yawen." Calling Yawen, this time he turned the light screen on. His eyes shined as he looked at Yawen's face.

 "I'm getting bored of hunting undead all the time, what about we find someplace to meet tomorrow? I have prepared a present to you." Even being separated by a long distance, Elijah could hide the emotions burning in eyes.

 "Of course!" Yawen revealed a brilliant smile. Even with a robot body, Yawen seemed look like more human than many humans.

Elijah fell into a daze as gazed at her before he had to slap himself to recovered his senses, "Okay then, let's meet at this point..."

 Turning off the call, he released his hammer that burned with green flames as he wielded with one hand and silver lightning appeared in the other.   

"Sorry guys, but I have a date tomorrow so.... You all have to die! Again!"
