The Final Moment...
"Cut the soapy bullshit and use everything you have to fly to the pyramid's peak right now! Jones, Nicci leave as well!"
Before they could try and understand what he meant, they saw Felix's body get consumed inside a massive pitch-black cloud!
Corruption Inducement was used!
"Impossbl!"
The kingly guardian was shocked since Felix had clearly shown signs of elemental exhaustion.
Even if he didn't, the kingly guardian firmly believed that Felix's energy shouldn't be infinite to the point he could go all out against his minions then him!
Alas, what he didn't know was that Felix always kept holding high-graded poison stones tightly in his palms!
While he was absorbing them, Asna was immediately purifying the energy and storing it away!
This was the emergency method that he thought of with Asna. He was glad that it came in handy by giving him just enough to finish this battle!
Whoosh!
Felix didn't give the kingly guardian time to remain shocked for long as he flew like the wind towards his head!
When Felix reached his face, the pitch-black cloud morphed into a gigantic widescreen that blocked the kingly guardian's vision from the pyramid's peak completely!!!
The instant Malak and the rest saw this, their faces brightened up akin to a kid getting a PS5 as a gift on his birthday!
"GOOOOO!!!"
Malak screamed in excitement as she unfolded her magnificent blue flaming wings and took off like a rocket towards the exit!
Malissa followed after her tightly while Erik surfed on a self-created wind gale that led to the top!
However, the moment they crossed the half-line, Felix yelled out a warning, "DOODGE!!!"
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh!!
All three of them instantly made a sharp curve to the sides before Felix's voice could even echo once!
Their superb reflex and trust in Felix's shotcalling allowed them to successfully evade two laser beams that were aimed right at the peak's exit!!
"We did it!" Erik yelled in excitement as he continued surfing to the exit, knowing full well that the guardian could not shoot another laser before they get out!
Just as he anticipated, all three of them wheezed right through the hole without any hindrance, joining Nicci and Jones!
"Yu littl bastrds!!" The kingly guardian howled in fury and humiliation at the sight after the poison blockage got evaporated!
He didn't dare to believe that he actually allowed three rats to escape from the hall after awakening him.
For a proud spirit belonging to the right arm of the ruins' owner, such a failure was enough to set his heart ablaze and lose his composure.
However, the moment he saw that Felix was still lagging behind, all of those emotions were stiffened, making him regain control of himself.
After all, he didn't forget that his main target wasn't to kill them all but to retrieve the pitch-black cube.
Knowing that Felix could evade his laser beams easily with his monstrous speed, he decided to get physical by sending out his right arm rapidly at him!
Alas, he soon realized that Felix was out of his reach due to him being in a kneeling position!
"So thts wy!"
Only then did he figure out that Felix's sole purpose of breaking his ankle wasn't to create an opportunity but to simply make him unable to reach the pyramid's exit physically!
The moment Felix saw the size of the kingly guardian, he knew that it was possible for him to use his long arm and block the exit with it.
