Chapter 271: 272 Way Out

Chapter 272 Way Out　　Teleportation was the most important thing for him as there was no exit for anything in his sight for miles. He could spend his time in the desert, but Jane couldn't.

He was more worried about Jane than himself as she seemed afraid for the reasons he wasn't aware of.

Rudy grabbed Jane's hand and closed his eyes. With the hope he had left, he wished to teleport back to the palace from the bottom of his heart.

He slowly opened one eye and hoped to see Jane's room, but unfortunately, they were still in the desert.

'Now I am regretting coming here. But let's not say that. I am conflicted. Should I tell Jane that my powers are currently limited? But that would obviously make her more anxious than she already is.'

"Shall we walk around for a while to see if we find something?" Rudy asked with an awkward smile on his face.

"Okay…" Jane replied hesitantly.

Rudy walked straight, but Jane pulled his hand and said, "Let's go the other way."

Rudy was walking in the direction Jane saw the figure, so she chose the opposite direction.

'Should I tell him about what I saw?' Jane asked herself. 'First the moon and now that figure. What's going on? Was that real, or am I just seeing things? I don't understand. But if I was real… why did I see it? And who was that figure?

Should I ask him to teleport us back? I don't like this place, and it's giving me chills. But… he wanted to come here, so I shouldn't ask him…'

Even if Jane had asked him to teleport them back to the palace, Rudy wouldn't be able to do that, and he would feel guilty for getting Jane into that mess.

After walking for a few minutes, which seemed like an eternity to both Rudy and Jane, they saw something in the distance, but none of them could figure out what it was.

Its size was small, and it seemed as though it was somewhat buried under the sand.

"Should we go there?" Rudy asked Jane.

Jane nodded and muttered, "We are walking that way too, so it's in our way."

Rudy was a little anxious as he didn't know what he could do with his limited power.

While they were walking, Jane saw something in her peripheral vision. She hesitantly jerked her head to the side to see the same figure standing not far away from her. It was as though it was watching them from the start.

It was looking directly at Jane with its pearl-like blue eyes. Nothing else was visible under the clock except its eyes. And now that the figure was closer than before, Jane realized how big and scary it was.

It was almost double the height of a normal adult human.

Jane rushed to Rudy and pointed her finger at the figure.

"Rudy!" she yelled.

"Yes?" Rudy turned around and followed Jane's finger. "What?" He asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Can't you see the figure standing there?!" she yelled in panic.

Rudy squinted his eyes and even activated his see-through ability, but he couldn't see anything or anyone.

"No. There is no one there."

"What do you mean?! It's standing a few meters away from us!" She shouted. "It has been following us!"

"..." Rudy furrowed his brows and glared exactly where Jane was pointing her finger, but he still couldn't see or feel anyone.

He didn't want to make it seem like Jane was seeing things or trying to prank him, as he was sure that she wouldn't do something like that in their current situation. Furthermore, the panic on Jane's face looked real.

The figure raised its staff and plunged it into the sand as it walked a step forward.

"It's moving! It's approaching us!" Jane yelled and grabbed Rudy's hand to run.

She dragged him with her as she glanced back and forth between the figure and Rudy.

After running for a few seconds, the thing in the middle of the dessert was in the clear view.

It was a closed door with nothing behind or surrounding it.

"That's the way out!" She yelled and ran faster with Rudy.

It wasn't as though she had another choice. She wanted to run away from the figure and the desert.

As she was running, she glanced at the moon and noticed it was closer than before. It slowly turned blue, and an indescribable face appeared on it.

Rudy had it enough. He stopped Jane and frowned his face at the figure he couldn't see.

"How dare you scare my Jane like this. Show yourself to me, and I shall rate how scary you are!" he yelled.

"What are you doing?! Why are you provoking it?!" she yelled at Rudy and ran to the door.

She turned the knob, but it wasn't turning.

BANG! BANG!

She banged on the door, but nothing happened. Even though the door looked delicate, it was sturdier than the iron.

Jane glanced back and saw that the figure was approaching when with hasty steps while swinging the staff in the air.

"Come on!" she yelled.

Rudy touched the knob and the door opened with a bang. There was a cave, a dungeon, or a labyrinth on the other side of the door. It was impossible to figure out, but it was underground, with a proper floor and a pathway.

"....!"

Without wasting her time, she pushed Rudy inside first as it was small and only one person could pass through at a time. Jane jumped in after Rudy and sighed in relief.

She immediately closed the door and stepped away from it.

"Are you okay?!" she asked with a concerned look on her face after seeing Rudy on the ground.

"Yeah, I am fine. What about you? Are you—!"

Before Rudy could even ask how she was, the door behind her suddenly opened and pulled Jane out before either of them could react.

ZAP!
