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.
Desperately trying to muster an intimidating demeanor to ward off John, the Thunder Sprite was met with John channeling his spirit into a Divine Blade, surging towards it with incredible speed.
