Chapter 457: Sick (2)

| I think I'm getting better, but it's really hard for me to still write 2 chapters since I still have headaches and I'm really tired, so it'll be another 1 chapter day. You can check one of my extras 'Likes and dislikes', it's part 1, I might post part 2 today. But don't worry, I made sure most my chapters are 1k+ words. |

I will never learn to take my nose for granted again, you know, having a stuffy nose makes it really annoying. I want to sleep, but I end up with a very painful headache every time I wake up.

Taking a hot shower every now and then is good though. Chaos is apparently holding a pre victory celebration banquet to increase their morale and to slow or stop the spread of the fact that Chaos is currently bedridden, so 1/3 of the army went as the rest of their army were more lax.

I then received the reports that our army are using this opportunity to go on a bit more of an aggressive approach, just hope that people don't become reckless. Lee has also sent us a report where they found Fortuna's tracks, they are currently narrowing down temples for a god level blood, amongst all of them, only 1 has them.

He wants us to go get the blood and escape while Lee send some of his subordinates to guard the rest to make it look as if they all have a god level blood inside them and delay them further, our job is to go to that one specific temple and solve some puzzles.

-Alright, we'll go solve the puzzles.-

-No no, you stay here.- Siege replied as he pushed me back onto my bed

-Yeah, we're all just as smart as you, so we go solve this without you.- Ace agreed

-Then bring Amora along just in case.-

-If you follow us in anyway, it means you do not have faith in us. I will make sure you will be taken care of properly, though with Elektra here to tend to your needs and Nyx to annoy you and give you a worse headache, you'll be fine.- Diana said

-Then can you remove Nyx from our household, she seems to have coddled up with everyone and it seems hard to unless you guys have something to say about it.-

-She's the only one strong enough to protect this kingdom alongside Elektra in case the guardian and Struan can't handle the situation, but we'll try to lessen your contacts.- Damon replied

-Sure, it's better than nothing.-

Slacking off is nice but suffering while doing so is bad, at least it's just a bad flu and not really a life and death situation. I sometimes feel shivering even though my body temperature is technically hot, but I bring a blanket to wrap around me at all time. I also wear a mask that is enchanted to be able filter air in and out every time I breathe in order to not spread it out.

-Let's not limit the contact of him and Nyx.- Dabria suggested as they left which the others agreed

They invited Amora along and went to the world that Lee told them about, whom then led them to the temple and gave them a few warnings and a few precautions, he doesn't completely know what's in there, but he have some clues which he then provided them.

"The first puzzle is a literal puzzle, here." Lee then handed them this golden boss the size of a large brief case which when opened was multiple layers of frames implying that there are several puzzles.

The jigsaw puzzle is literally glowing, the puzzle pieces were transparent that would apparently show itself once it's assembled.

"It's like several thousand pieces for each puzzle, and magic can't work on them, so...have fun assembling this manually. Insert it into the entrance's slot and some of your blood along with it." Lee wished them luck and left

Dabria would then create a small pocket dimension where there can assemble the puzzle safely without interruption. They were not really having a fun time assembling those puzzle pieces, the only ting differentiating between which puzzle pieces belonging on which layer is the slight color differences.

And the color itself would only be revealed if there is a high level Daoist with the blessing of a god who would sacrifice a cup of blood for each layer. Even Dabria is chipping in to help them assemble the puzzle.

Siege and Ace can't use magic to assemble it since the pieces negate it, so they could barely help as they don't have a form that have fingers, illusion magic can technically work, but the form is still magic.

"Dabria, just a question...what makes you like dad?" Amora asked "That's about 30% done for the bottom layer."

Dabria almost spitted out her chocolate milkshake and took a few seconds to compose herself.

"I like my men like I like my chocolate milkshake, that's why." Dabria replied

"Cordelia taught you that, didn't she?" Siege asked

"Well...she used the phrase 'milk chocolate' instead, but I will not be explaining myself, if anything, I love myself more than anything. I mean, have you seen me?"

"To answer your question, it's because they can relate to one another's narcissistic tendencies." Siege chimed in "One think that they're a protagonist while the other think that they're their own best partner."

When they finished assembling the puzzles, they fused together to form one puzzle which is a picture of a beautiful lake with a giant lake, they got out and inserted the painting into the temple entrance which drop them all into this maze where they can see the maze constantly shifting, each doorway or directing could be there and gone the next.

Damon tried punching one of the walls, but it seems to be protected against his power with this barrier of sorts.

"Damn this stupid temple, should have brought my Indiana Jones cosplay." Amora cursed
