The moment Ahmed's team eliminated that three-man team, they immediately went towards the next target.

Coincidentally, their next target was also quickly approaching towards the location of the fight, evidently attracted by the commotion they have caused.

"Your next target is moving in the same pathway as all of you. Continue moving straight, and once you make contact with them, disperse in all directions using the Doorway Keys. You know what to do afterwards," Leo instructed through the communicators.

"Understood," Ahmed and the others nodded their heads in unison.

Continuing to move forward, Ahmed's team eventually made contact with their next target.

Knowing already what to do, they immediately jumped towards both their left and right without waiting for their reaction.

Before the three-man team could even react, their opponents in front had long already disappeared. They wanted to catch up to them, but unfortunately, the holes they have created had reverted to what it was.

"Shit! They got away!"

"How the heck did they got away!"

"I'm guessing that they have found a very powerful Support Tool from those chests!"

"How unfair! Why didn't we get a Support Tool similar to their's?"

"It is already-"

As that person was speaking, a hand suddenly covered his mouth and pulled him towards the wall. Seemingly like the wall has a mouth, it ate that person whole inside. Subsequently, the cry of that person was heard, pain and unwillingness were clearly evident in his voice.

The other two instantly disregarded their comrade's life as they prepared themselves for a battle.

Unbeknownst to them, Ahmed and the others weren't actually planning to do any head-on confrontation with them.

Well, anyone who has an item similar to the Doorway Key would naturally choose to take advantage of the Support Item's capability. Only foolish people wouldn't!

Suddenly, many small holes appeared in their surroundings, which was followed after by numerous fireballs shooting towards them.

"Earth wall!"

Whoooosh!

An earth wall swiftly rises up from the ground around them, blocking the fireball's attack towards them.

"Ahhhhhh!"

All of a sudden, though, just when they thought that they were already safe from their opponent's fireballs, a hole suddenly appeared on the ground below one of them, causing that person to fall straight down to the first floor of the maze.

"Helppp!" That person screamed loudly to his comrade watching him with a stupefied expression on his face.

As much as his comrade wanted to help him, it was already too late because the ground quickly closed as fast as it appeared.

The last remaining person began sweating profusely as he realized that there is no more escaping his death. He could only begin shouting, "Where are you?!"

"If you want to fight me, then fight me upfront!"

"Hiding is an act of being a coward!"

"Face me you bunch of cowards!"

In the end, that person's shouting only received three consecutive chuckling sounds from Ahmed's team, "Hehehehe!"

Whoooosh!

A dagger suddenly appeared and passed through the small hole that had just appeared straight towards the nape of that person.

Bang!

Booooom!

That person dropped to the ground with wide eyes that expresses both his shock and disbelief.

"Your next target is to your 9 o'clock, around 200 meters to 300 meters. They are currently fighting with another team, so approach to the 10 o'clock and act like you have been attracted by the commotion," Leo sent another instruction.

"Affirmative," Ahmed's team acknowledged before quickly proceeding to their 9 o'clock.

Not long after, they finally started hearing the commotion of the fight between two teams.

Curiously, though, the fight between the two teams seemed to be slowly approaching towards Ahmed's team's direction. There wouldn't have been any problem with that if only the fight hadn't already lasted for this long, because until now, no one was still injured amongst both of the teams.

"I think there is something wrong with their fight. Go and make a detour, let's see what will happen," Leo said after watching the light screen in front of him.

Apparently, those two teams weren't actually part of the same alliance. In fact, their alliance had even been seen fighting during the first game 'Hide and Seek' by a lot of times. Yet as of this moment, these two teams seemed to be in an alliance.

Observing closely, Leo soon noticed that the fight also started following wherever Ahmed's team was going. It was as if like they have eyes or something similar that allows them to know which direction they were currently moving.

It didn't really take that long for Leo to finally understand that one of the two teams must have found one of the five-diamond chests. Then they formed an alliance with one of their supposed-to-be enemy team to pretend to be fighting in order to attract other nearby team's attention towards them. And because everyone knows already that no one should be able to discover that they are changing directions towards wherever their target goes every single time, thus it should be a lot easier to make them fall into their trap.

As expected, the more Ahmed's team detours, the more obvious it was that they are using a Support Tool.

After a fair bit of time, one of the members of the two teams, which coincidentally was also the same exact team that has a member of the Naughty Elves organization on them, had taken out some kind of compass that pointed towards Ahmed's team exact location.

"The Tracker Compass!" Luke informed Leo by the side.

"What is its purpose?" Leo asked intriguingly. He was really interested about this item because it seems to allow the user to find the location of the nearby team around them.

"As you can see, it will point out towards enemy teams," Luke explained, he then added, "But, if the team is within 20 meters around them, it would immediately lose its function,"

Hearing Luke's response, Leo finally confirmed the purpose of the Tracker Compass, and at the same time understand as well why, despite only having one single arrow, it is still pointing towards Ahmed's location, when in fact an enemy team is already just right in front of its user.

"Any team who can find this Support Tool would definitely have a lot of advantage in this maze. But for us, it is useless, because we have the Mirror Map Table to assist us," Luke shook his head.

"Indeed, but no one knows that we have a Mirror Map Table, whereas everyone knows about the function of the Tracker Compass," Leo responded as his lips slowly formed into a mischievous smile.

Luke instantly understood what Leo wanted to do. He plans to use the Tracker Compass to explain how they were able to find their targets in the maze.

Leo immediately informed Ahmed's team on what to do, "They have a Support Tool called Tracker Compass that allows them to find your exact location. No worries though, just keep on circling around them as you slowly approach their location. Once you reached 20 meters around them, the Support Tool will immediately lose its effect, which will allow us to finally make use of our Doorway Keys,"

Ahmed's team didn't bother asking any more questions as they followed Leo's instructions.

Slowly, they made their way towards the two fighting teams by following a circular path.

The two teams were curious at first, but they just simply assumed that the pathways leading towards them might be circular as well, thus Ahmed's team kept on circling around them.

Unbeknownst to them, Ahmed's team was actually creating holes after holes on the walls that blocked their path, allowing them to move in a circle.

A few more minutes later, Ahmed's team finally reached the 20 meters mark of the Tracker Compass.

In the following moment, the Tracker Compass was no longer providing the two teams with any useful information of their enemy's location. But it wasn't a problem, because 20 meters is already close enough for them to engage in combat with Ahmed's team.

Following the direction the Tracker Compass had pointed before losing its function, the two teams soon covered the short distance of 20 meters range.

However, to their ultimate surprise, they actually didn't find their enemy, even just the slightest clue about where they had go. The Tracker Compass was still not working, which only means to say that they should probably be still within 20 meters diameter around them.

Just when they were trying to guess where, all of a sudden, a hole appeared below two of them.

"Ahhhhh!"

"Ahhhhh!"

Two people fell, and while they were assuming that it was just an ordinary hole that had caused the both of them to accidentally fall into, three silhouettes swiftly passed by and the next thing they knew, their two comrades landed on the ground with lifeless bodies.

"Shit, they were below us all this time!"

"Why didn't we think of that?!"

"Quick, jump!"

The moment they heard the command to jump, two people, including the one that had suggested jumping, went down the hole.

As soon as they landed, the two of them then began looking for their enemies by using Light spells to lighten up the surrounding around them. It wasn't really a Light Element Magic spell, but rather merely a Support Magic spell that gives light to the surrounding of the caster.

"Still no signs of them,"

"Me neither,"

While they continued their search, suddenly two of their comrades above them dropped down.

Bang! Bang!

"I thought you both were scared of the dark, hahaha!"

"Yeah, since it took you two long enough to come down,"

A few seconds passed, but they still didn't hear a single reply from their two comrades, prompting them to turn around.

The moment the both of them turned around to check their comrades, their faces immediately showed the look of shock as they found the two who they have thought to be alive just now to actually turned out to be already dead.

Their eyes slowly looked up as they noticed in their peripheral vision a strange vague figure covered in the dark shadow standing respectively behind them.

"Boh!"

"Ahhhhhh!"

"Ahhhhhh!"
