From the sidelines, Lord Storm, stroking his voluminous beard, chuckled heartily:
"This level? Our Storm warriors can easily endure the thirty-minute chase by the Thunder Sprite."
"In fact, I reached the exit portal in just seventeen minutes during my time."
"I wonder how this young one named [Galewind] will fare."
As the system's countdown concluded, John burst forth, heading straight for the Thunder Sprite.
A prominent question mark appeared over the sprite's head – wasn't it supposed to be chasing him?
The Thunder Sprite glared angrily at the oncoming figure, and as John's face became clear, a chilling realization seemed to dawn on it.
It had been obliterated once in the Thunderous Maze, and it appeared that the perpetrator was this very individual approaching at breakneck speed.
