The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor novel Chapter 2068

Fane and Dwight looked on as Jed turned left after he walked past the gap. No sounds were made until his figure faded from view, and Dwight was delighted by this. Of course, he was not that relaxed, seeing as there were innumerable skeletons on the ground.

Fane, on the other hand, only looked quietly to where Jed left, his expression passive.

Dwight turned around to face his senior, who was sitting behind him, and spoke excitedly, "Senior Brother Albion, look! Junior Brother Jed has gone out, and nothing happened. It looks like we can still leave this place. I only wonder what we'll find when we go out—’’

Just then, a familiar voice laced with a hint of despair came from behind them, "W— Why am I back here?!" They immediately turned around, and Jed was right behind them, standing in the gap between two mountains.

This valley had a total of four gaps that allowed them to leave the place. The largest gap was right in front of them, and there was one more behind them. They saw Jed going out of the gap in front of them with their own eyes, yet all of a sudden, he was right behind them.

Dwight's breaths grew labored. "Why are you here? Why did you end up behind us?"

Jed desperately explained, "The gap in front of us isn’t a straight line, and I had to turn left. The gap then shifted right, so I turned right, and here I am now." Dwight's face turned pale as if someone had plastered cement on him when he heard this. He seemed to be in disbelief as he strode forward. Sure enough, he reappeared from the gap behind them a couple of breaths after he disappeared in front of the rest. This meant that the gaps at the front and back were connected.

They were walking in a circle and were still at the same place. Both Jed and Dwight looked utterly defeated at this disappointing revelation.

Although skeletons were practically everywhere here and they ignored the fact that there was a trap array here, they insisted on trying when they saw hope. In the end, everything was in vain and they still could not leave this place. If there was an exit, why would there be so many bodies on the ground? These skeletons basically conveyed their story of how they, too, attempted to escape years ago.

Fane stretched out his hand and stopped Jed, who wanted to try again, "This is how the Ten Absolutes trap array is. Although you see an exit in front of you, it's another ingenious array. Even though you've walked forward, there are movements of runes at the turning corner, and you're transferred to another entrance by the space. You won't be able to get out of this place no matter how many times you walk around this place."

Fane's words were utterly discouraging. Jed and Dwight exchanged glances, and they both slumped to the ground like deflated balloons. They could hear the water of the river flowing with their own ears, and the exit was just in front of them... yet they just could not leave!

Fane seemed to have thought as though they were not that desperate in leaving as he added, "The Ten Absolutes trap array prevents us from flying. It's even impossible for us to exit this place from where we came in.”

What Fane said immediately caused the surrounding atmosphere to reach a freezing point. Jed and Dwight were lost in a daze as they sat on the ground, completely at a loss for words. Although Albion did not say anything, they could still feel his despair from his expression.

Jed looked up and glanced at Fane. "It didn't matter if we jumped down or not; we would've died anyway. You, however, seemed to be very decisive when you decided to jump down here."
