"Quick, run forward," Leo order without wasting any time through the communicators.

Unhesitatingly, Ahmed's team instantly run forward. In their minds, they didn't care about whatever was waiting for them in front, as they realized that staying in their location any longer would get them all killed.

"Keep moving straight and turned right once you see the diverging path ahead of you," Leo instructed. On the map, there were no traps nearby Ahmed's team location, so they don't have to worry about any of those yet. What he's aiming for, as of this very moment is to let them get to the closes chest as soon as possible, mainly because he knew how helpful should be the items inside that chest.

By the side, Luke smiled as he said, "It seems like your location isn't all that bad, after all,"

"This was part of your plan from the start, right?" Leo turned to look at Luke.

"Of course not, look!" Luke shook his head before pointing towards the light screens showing both Orcborg and Selina's team, "See, the closest chest to them is more than hundreds of meters away, and not to mention the Support Tool inside is not even comparable to Ahmed's team,"

Nodding his head in understanding, Leo then turned his focus back to Ahmed's team.

On the screen, Ahmed's team eventually arrived at the diverging path. Following Leo's instruction, they turned right.

After a few more minutes, they finally stumbled upon a chest. But unlike most of the chests that the other teams have found, specifically wood, steel, and gold, this chest was made lavishly out of diamond.

What almost everyone doesn't know, since Elmont, Tifa, and Tila had deliberately not informed anyone about this information, there are actually different kinds of chests in the game 'The Maze'. They are, respectively, wooden chest, steel chest, golden chest, and diamond chest. Each of those kinds of chests entirely contains different levels of Support Tools.

The chest that the team from the top 27 had found a while ago was merely a steel chest, and yet it had already provided them with a lot of help, such as finding the exact location of Ahmed's team, let alone this diamond chest.

Seeing the diamond chest, Ahmed's team subconsciously halted on their steps, as if they don't know what to do anymore due to their shock. They actually didn't know about the different kinds of chests, but that still doesn't hinder them from easily guessing that the diamond chest must be a special kind.

"What are all of you dilly-dallying there for? Quickly grab the items inside the chest!" Leo exclaimed loudly enough for Ahmed's team to pull themselves together.

Without wasting any more time, Ahmed's team walked towards the diamond chest.

As soon as they opened the diamond chest, what they found were three pieces of green-colored sphere objects.

Completely oblivious of what these items were for, Ahmed asked, "What can these do?"

Honestly, Leo was also totally clueless about what exactly is inside the diamond chest. The only thing he knew before was that the diamond chest should contain a special item that could certainly help them solve their current problem about the team from the top 27 following them. So, since he did not know about it, he quickly turned to look at Luke to answer Ahmed's question.

"How lucky!" Luke can't help but admire the fortunate encounter of Ahmed's team. He explained, "Those items are called Doorway Keys. With those items, none of you would have to worry anymore about the maze. As long as you will for something through those Doorway Keys, a path would quickly be created in front of you, leading towards the place before the wall,"

"Let me try," Brad eagerly walked forward and faced the wall nearby before closing his eyes. Inside his mind, he wished for a hole to be created in the wall. In the following moment, a hole slowly formed in front of them.

"Damn! Does this mean that no walls could hinder our path anymore?" Illiad asked while feeling dumbfounded. In his opinion, as long as they have these items, they could go anywhere they want in this maze without any sort of hindrance.

"Exactly!" Luke nodded his head.

Without Luke noticing, Leo's lips slowly formed into a mischievous smile as he said, "This also means that the maze is now your playground to play!"

Hearing Leo's words, Ahmed, Brad, and Illiad instantly realized what exactly he meant to say. Slowly, all of their lips formed into a mischievous smile as well.

"Then it is time for us to play!" Ahmed walked inside the hole quickly, followed after by Brad and Illiad.

The moment Ahmed's team walked inside the hole, it quickly closes after and reverting back to what it was.

As soon as Ahmed's team left, the excited team from the top 27 arrived at the former's location. Though they were right after rendered shocked to find out that they were actually long already gone. What's even more shocking for them was the fact that this was a dead-end, so how the heck did they disappear?! There were also no inconspicuous hiding spots around, making them even more confused.

While the team from the top 27 was still feeling confused about it, behind them, three holes suddenly appeared, and there walked out Ahmed, Brad, and Illiad silently.

Before any of the three people from the top 27 could even react, they were swiftly killed and eliminated by Ahmed's team.

Crouching down, Ahmed carefully picked up the bronze telescope beside one of the dead bodies. He then turned to look at Brad and Illiad as if asking them if they were thinking of the same plan as him.

Leo easily understood what Ahmed was thinking, so he said through the communicators, "The nearest mountain can be found to your left, roughly around two hundred meters away,"

"Understood, Guild Leader Loki," Ahmed and the others nodded their heads in unison before quickly moving to their left.

Meanwhile, after watching the scene of Ahmed's team swiftly killing the team from the top 27, Elmont, Tifa, and Tila immediately began talking about them.

"Yikes, that was a complete turn-over for the worst to the participants from the top 27. Bye-bye," Elmont teasingly said while waving his hands towards the room of the members from the top 27.

"The literal example of the saying, 'From hunter to hunted," Tifa added more salt to the wound.

"Enough about that. What exactly were those items that Ahmed's team have found?" Tila acted like she doesn't know about it.

"Those items were called Doorway Keys, which is one of the five extremely powerful Support Tools in this game 'The Maze'. To be more exact, it ranks second only to the first Support Tool that allows anyone to immediately exit from the game," Elmont introduced.

Tifa further explained, "Anyone who can find the Doorway Keys could basically walk around this maze as if it was just a flat land,"

Tila snapped her finger with the question, "So, does this mean that this maze right now is nothing more than the Mischievous Lion's playground?" 

"Absolutely!" Both Elmont and Tifa nodded their heads. 

After tens or so of minutes, Ahmed's team finally reached the top of the closest mountain.

Taking out the bronze telescope from his Storage Ring, Ahmed then began surveying the surrounding maze.

While Ahmed was still searching for prey, Brad can't help but ask, "So who's going to go first?"

They have already discussed it along the way that they would only be sending one person to fight against the team they could find while the others would stay at the rear as support. This was mainly because they decided to treat the second game 'The Maze' as a place for them to play, or to be more precise, to train themselves using living people as targets.

Of course, they weren't arrogantly thinking that no one could stop them now that they have those Doorway Keys. After all, anything could still happen, regardless of how powerful the items they have.

Aside from that reason, they are more than aware of the fact that these Doorway Keys are nothing but merely Support Tools that they could use to give themselves some advantages when fighting against the other teams in this maze. Even though it could provide a lot of help nonetheless, it would still depend entirely on their performance to determine how effective they could make use of these Doorway Keys.

The reason they were so confident about their decision right now, is because they have all the means possible for them to suppress any of their targets. 

Firstly, whoever is chosen to fight against their opponents could just jump from one wall to another whenever they can't handle the fight anymore in order to hide. With this place being a maze, it would be next to impossible to catch them.

Secondly, Leo and the others in the control room could provide them with a lot of information on what to do and what not to do. Basically put, their opponents would be playing on their hands like a mere puppet attached to a string. Whatever they plan to do, they will know and be able to make countermeasures against it.

Lastly, the two at the rear are still allowed to lend any kind of support to help the main fighter.. Hence, the battle would still be three versus three, with the sole exception of one person hugging the fight for himself.
