Therefore, no matter how powerful the spiritual sense power was, its effect was limited only to injured
spiritual souls.
It was impossible for the spiritual sense power to cause any physical harm, let alone death.
Nonetheless, Austin had a feeling that if his spiritual sense power continued to harvest more of this
kind of energy, it would be able to manifest into a tangible force and could cause immense damage to
anyone surrounding it.
The long day passed and turned into darkness.
By this time, the entirety of the maze had already disappeared, with no single trace of its existence left.
Only an empty space needing objects was all that it had become.
Austin stood in the middle of the now empty space. The dazzling bead in his hand gave off a flawless
light, looking extraordinary and brilliant, energy flowing in and out of its smooth mass.
"It is what I thought it would be!
This whole maze was nothing more than just a mere illusion effectively projected by the Hallucination
Bead! What a deceptive and tricky little thing!"
Austin looked around in pure awe and amazement, fully realizing that there was just debris where the
maze formerly stood. He was shocked to the core, and the new discovery sent shivers running up and
down his spine.
During the process of the maze's dramatic and catastrophic disappearance, Austin had benefited the
most. As a result, his spiritual sense had once again been greatly improved.
The dark golden sphere of spiritual sense in his Soul Sea had become more stable and solid as the
bead flashed with magnificence and radiance.
His whole spiritual soul had become as transparent as crystal, with no trace of impurities!
During this time, he could clearly feel the power of his spiritual sense which had reached levels that he
had never known before!
He was confident that his spiritual sense was even stronger than those of the genuine premium-grade
divine gods. He had gone beyond those who were worshiped by the mere mortals that he knew.
"Looks like I will have to take you with me now."
Austin cast a look at the queen still lying between the two shells, not even showing the tiniest bit of
concern over everything that had just happened. He then moved the two shells and the queen into the
continent that he himself created.
Afterwards, he motioned the Hallucination Bead into his own Soul Sea.
With what he did, another treasure had been incorporated into his own Soul Sea.
Previously, he only had three magical treasures in his Soul Sea: the spiritual tree, the spiritual dragon,
and the Chaotic Ice Lotus. Now, the Hallucination Bead was added to his impressive collection of
treasures in his Soul Sea.
Each piece of the priceless treasures he found was coveted by many.
"Austin!"
Suddenly, three graceful figures appeared at a distance and rushed over toward Austin.
The three mermaid race girls had survived the destruction of the maze.
They later found their way to Austin very soon, after the maze had disappeared.
It had become easier to find anyone, anyway, with such a low hanging now-empty space.
They were all overjoyed seeing Austin again. They ran to him without delay and immediately crowded
him on all sides.
"Austin, what happened just now? That was crazy and weird! We thought we were going to die!
What happened to the maze? Why did it suddenly disintegrate and disappear like that?"
The three mermaid race girls asked Austin with curiosity. They all felt puzzled and stunned at what had
just happened with the maze and the streams of hallucinations.
"I took the maze; that's all,"
Austin calmly replied.
"What do you mean? You took the maze?!
How could you even do that?!"
The three mermaid race girls were still in shock. They stared at Austin up and down, with confusion
more than evident in their eyes. They were able to easily spot him, even in the middle of a wave of their
numb reactions.
It was the first time for them to hear and witness such a thing. It was too good to be true!
"Austin, are you serious?!
Did you really take the maze?"
Sally asked in utter disbelief.
"Yes, I took it and it is in my pocket now.
And please stop asking me about it now! You don't have to dig deeper as to what, why, and how it
happened.
Are you ready to head over to the other parts of the Land of Outlaw?"
Austin stepped with his left foot forward upon asking, his eyes straight ahead and now ready to leave.
Hearing what Austin said, the three mermaid race girls felt embarrassed. They decided to stop raising
any other questions about the disappearance of the maze or even about the bead that sucked every
single detail that they thought were real. They planned to ask him on some other day.
Even so, shock was still painted all over their faces as they gazed in awe at Austin.
By this time, all the other creatures had left and gone to other places to look and hunt for more
treasures. They were the only ones who remained in that area.
Austin focused his mind and summoned his energy to release all the slaves held captive in the maze.
There were more than ninety divine gods of high regard among them, and a dozen divine gods at
ordinary level.
"Master!"
All the slaves neatly stood in several rows and respectfully bowed in front of Austin.
"Well, let's not waste any more time and go hunt for more treasures together!"
With a wave of his hand, Austin led the slaves and the three mermaid race girls to their next journey.
He commanded his spiritual sense to scan and perceive any seriously unfolding situations from far
away.
They were in the Land of Outlaw, where hidden dangers lurk everywhere. Some of those dangers, they
had never encountered before.
Austin and his army of slaves could not afford to be careless. No matter where he was, he would need
his spiritual sense to remain in check with the situation around them. Until they reached their
destination, they had to always be on their toes and expect the unexpected.
