Translator: 549690339         ⁰

Just as Leonard and his companions were playing dead in the corner, the frost knight quickly noticed something was amiss.

He was a third-tier curse card master.

Even though he was extremely weak now, he could not possibly overlook the sudden appearance of three people in the corner.

Three feigning-to-be-dead living humans!

Originally, he was a small team leader in the Miller Family’s Frost Knights Guard Legion.

Six days ago, he had received an urgent summons to carry out a mission at the suburban Grand Cemetery, which turned out to be the rescue of the governor. However, what he didn’t expect was that they were plunged into a trap and ambush as soon as they arrived.

The entire Frost Knight Legion and the governor were swept into the Alternate Dimension known as the Grand Cemetery Labyrinth.

What followed were days of nightmare.

No one could have imagined that there would be such terrifying monsters as the Skeleton Monsters in this low-tier space, with horrifying curse attack methods, and they were invincible…

Even the Frost Knight Legion could do nothing about them.

All they could do was flee and fight monsters in the labyrinth.

They didn’t know how long they had been killing, nor how many skeleton monsters they had destroyed.

The number of comrades by their side was getting fewer and fewer.

Like a never-ending nightmare, they were in constant flight and battle, with no respite.

They had to protect the governor, which meant they had to face the monsters head-on.

The armor was getting heavier and heavier, but the number of monsters chasing them was increasing…

Then, three days ago, due to a major blunder, they were surrounded by dozens of Skeleton Monsters in a dead-end passage.

Everyone was killed in the battle.

And he was the only one who survived to the end.

Initially, he didn’t understand why.

But later, he realized that it was the mysterious box that the leader had him carry that exempted him from the terrifying and irresistible curse pollution by the monsters.                                    ’

However, that was just the beginning of despair.

Just resisting the pollution couldn’t change the already fatal situation.

A full three days!

Do you know how he survived alone in the labyrinth during these three days? Without the threat of the Skeleton Monsters’ terrifying curse attack, their individual combat power was not too formidable. Without needing to protect the governor, he could shake off the monsters with his speed.

But they were immortal.

They simply couldn’t be killed!

The more he ran, the more monsters he encountered in the labyrinth and each encounter led to a fierce battle.

For several days, he spent in nightmarish battles.

Eventually, somehow, as he was running aimlessly, he stumbled into a “Hidden Dimension” of Enlightenment Tips.

He also discovered a mysterious room that seemed to be an exit.

But there was no way out.

He was a frost knight who existed only for combat and was not good at solving mysteries.

The despair of knowing where the exit was but being powerless to reach it had been tormenting him for the past few days.

Although he had already worked hard to clear most of the skeleton monsters in this labyrinth alone,

The Skeleton Monsters were invincible; they perfectly revived after being killed.   ^e

Not only was his body completely drained, but his spirit was also on the verge of collapse.

Today was the last chance he gave himself to look for clues.

If he still couldn’t find them, he was ready to end his own life.

To end these nightmare-like days.

However, unexpectedly,

At the moment of desperate, he saw hope!

Just now.

As he was being chased by the Skeleton Monsters, he suddenly noticed something.

Even though the three individuals were hiding in the darkness, he clearly saw that there were three people lying there!

He had run along this tunnel many times before and had never seen them.

He was overjoyed to realize: these three individuals must have just entered!

Seeing them, he felt as though he had just seen the hope of survival.

He was not foolish; since these three individuals were able to come to the depths of this labyrinth, they must have mastered the key to solving the puzzle.

In the blink of an eye, he saw the hope of survival!

Watching the three individuals in the corner remaining motionless, with the Skeleton Monsters completely ignoring them, a light bulb turned on in the frost knight’s head.

Thinking back to their previous encounters with the Skeleton Monsters, they had always been fighting and running… Suddenly, all became clear.

Why were the three individuals playing dead?

Could it be that the Skeleton Monsters couldn’t see non-moving objects?

Yes, how could I have overlooked such a vital point!

Finally, he felt as if he had grasped the key to survival.

He was already extremely exhausted, knowing that he was doomed if he continued to flee. Without any hesitation, the frost knight made a decision.

Leonard and the frost knight exchanged glances, naturally seeing each other’s “wisdom-filled eyes”.

He immediately understood what the other party was intending to do complaining inwardly, “Please, if you’re going to play dead, move a little farther away…”

But the more he held this thought, the more the situation developed in the direction he didn’t want to see.

Leonard watched as the frost knight followed a brief period of mental activity and then, not far away, threw himself fiercely in the corner, fell rigidly against the wall, and stopped moving.

Seeing this, Leonard’s eyes twitched slightly: he really did learn quickly. Although the frost knight’s body remained motionless, his eyes were darting around nervously under the cover of his helmet, indicating his internal anxiety.

But the effect was immediate.

As he lay in the corner playing dead, the three Skeleton Monsters chasing him suddenly lost their moving targets.

They truthfully “couldn’t see” him!

But they didn’t leave, instead, they wandered near the tunnel.

The frost knight, seeing this, felt relieved that he had made the right choice and let out a big sigh.

He thought as long as the monsters left, he would be safe.

However, wishes are always nice.

Looking at the frost knight who had put him in a dire crisis, Leonard couldn’t help but complain, “The Skeleton Monsters only have a delayed perception of non-moving entities; they aren’t really blind..”
