Realm of Myths and Legends

r sure or of confirming his theory.
However, his current situation remained unchanged.
He was blind and had to find a way to meet up with the others if it was possible.
He would have to find a way to undo this blinding effect.
After all, he would rather not go through an entire SS-ranked quest without his vision present.

Though, thanks to his other heightened senses and his strong soul, Izroth did not have any trouble maneuvering around while being blinded.
It reminded him of a special training not too long after he started his cultivation journey.

The situation was very similar to the one now, except it was a bit crueler and more suitable for a cultivator.

Tap.
Tap.
Tap.

Izroth listened closely and heard the sound of footsteps heading in his direction.
These footsteps sounded extremely familiar and he had heard them quite often.

He then heard the sound of a wooden door slowly creaking open followed by the sound of footsteps which rushed over towards him.
They seemed to be in a hurry and slightly flustered.
No, excited was closer to the way they were feeling.
The individual reached out and gave Izroth a friendly pat on his shoulders, like a friend saying ”good to see you ”.

’This is…
Halls? ’

”Halls? ” Izroth asked even though he was already quite sure of the answer to his inquiry.

Halls nodded intensely, however, he noticed that Izroth ’s vision had been unfocused this entire time.
It was as if he was not even looking at him ever since he stepped into this room.

When Halls entered into the wooden door, he had lost his ability to speak once the doors closed on him.
One could say that he actually managed to get off with one of the lighter effects, but for someone who enjoyed talking and socializing as much as Halls, it could be seen as one of the worse senses to lose.

’Could it be that the sixth ”sense ” in this case is speech? Or is it just a substitute for tasting? ’

The five basic senses, in this case, were sight, smell, touch, hearing, and tasting.
However, tasting would not deter players in any way.
Therefore, there was a good chance that tasting was intentionally replaced with speech.
From Halls lack of response and his constant use of shoulder pats as a means to communicate, Izroth could only conclude that the wooden door Halls went through represented speech.

As for the other wooden doors, they should have a similar effect and rob one of a specific sense.
However, if he was correct about speech being the replacement for tasting, then that still left the sixth door full of mystery.
But for now, they had to regroup with the others.

”We should regroup with the others.
Are there other rooms in this area? You can tap your foot to communicate.
One tap for yes, two taps for no. ” Izroth said.

A few seconds later, he heard one tap sound out from the floor.
Luckily Halls did not lose his ability to hear, or else this situation would have been a little awkward trying to find a way to communicate.

”You ’ll have to lead the way.
I ’ll follow behind you. ” Izroth said.

After hearing Izroth ’s instructions, Halls walked back towards the door he entered in from.
Izroth followed after him without the need of any assistance.
In fact, it would be difficult to tell that Izroth had lost his sight.

Soon enough, Izroth and Halls had checked all of the nearby rooms and everyone was indeed within them.
Just as Izroth expected, everyone had one sense taken from them.

For Zi Yi it was hearing, for Guan Yu it was touch, and for Luna it was smell.
Luna could be considered the most fortunate amongst everyone present.
A sense of smell was something that did not have any major drawbacks in this situation.

As for Valentine, he appeared to be perfectly fine on the surface.
However, his current situation was more severe than everyone else.

Valentine could not see, hear, speak, or even feel them touching him to get his attention.
There was a good chance that he had lost every last one of his senses!

”We have to find a way to break this! Is this the doing of another black hole?! ” Zi Yi yelled unknowingly.
Thanks to her lack of hearing, she could not control the volume of her voice.
Thankfully, she was quite skilled at reading lips and so she could still understand everyone as long as she was looking at them.

”Since Luna only lost her sense of smell, I think that she should take the lead until we all find out what happened to us! Guan Yu, you ’ll have to carry the magic freak! ” Zi Yi added.

Izroth and everyone else agreed with this arrangement.
Although Izroth did not have any trouble getting around while being blind, if he came across a place with too much sound and became unable to separate the noises, it would prove to be quite challenging.

’It ’s too bad I have yet to reach the 5th stage of the Heavenly Golden Body Physique.
Even if I lost all of my senses, it would not be an issue. ’

Luna, of course, had no problem taking the lead until they removed the restrictions placed upon them.

There was only a single door that the group had yet to go through which was located at the end of the hallway.
Luna moved closer to the front of the group near Izroth and Halls as they made their way through the door.

When they stepped through the door, it was as if their bodies were being transported to a different place.
By the time they reappeared, they were startled by their new surroundings.

”This place…
Isn ’t it similar to the forest illusion? ” Guan Yu asked.

”If we had the magic freak we could verify how similar, but we ’ll just have to rely on our own judgment.
From what I can tell, this place is definitely the same type of illusion as the forest, however, it ’s many times more powerful and feels…
Real. ” Zi Yi stated.

’So this is the place that the black hole was attempting to escape to. ’
