A spacious white hall was revealed before the opened door.

At the center of the hall was a large pool built with white stones and was surrounded by many strange blue sculptures.

The sculptures had been crafted from the image of attractive ladies with long scorpion tails on their backs. This tail they possessed was about one meter long and was the size of a human leg.

The ladies crouched beside the pool and raised their tails in the air as if they were ready to strike any time.

There was a vortex in the center of the pool spinning slowly. Its radius was about four meters.

Angele was not sure how deep the pool was due to the seemingly endless dark hole in the middle of the vortex.

He exhaled once and slowly stepped into the hall.

Angele glared at the sculptures and checked the scorpion tails quickly, then focused on the large vortex in the water.

Blue light dots flashed in front of his eyes and he looked a bit confused.

"This place...there are no energy particles here..." He muttered as he observed the hall.

There were four small stone pillars in each of the corners.

On top of the white stone pillars, the burning white flames brought light to the area, but Angele did not see any smoke.

He narrowed his eyes and noticed that something was written on one of the stone pillars.

He quickly walked to the right corner.

Words were written on the smooth surface of the stone pillar beside the flame, but Angele did not know the language.

He raised his hand and placed it on the written words.

*CHI*

A blue electric pulse appeared above the words and struck Angele's hand. He was startled by the strike making him take several steps back.

His face turned pale and it took him a while to recover.

*Crack*

Suddenly, Angele heard a noise that sounded like stones being cracked.

The strange noise was increasingly becoming more intense; it came from the sculptures around the pool.

He returned to the door quickly and stared at the large pool carefully.

The white stone layer of the beautiful scorpion women started dropping to the ground.

As if they were waking up from slumber, they then began to move.

*Hisssss*

A scorpion woman on the left made some noise that sounded like a snake's. Her long black hair spread onto her shoulders.

All the stone pieces had dropped to the ground, revealing her smooth, fair skin. She swung her black scorpion tail in the air several times. The scene was terrifying.

The scorpion woman had a pair of shallow eyes and her face looked identical to the one on the Wall of Confusion.

"Hisss...It has been a while since someone visited the illusion pool..." The scorpion woman slowly moved around the pool and looked at Angele. She was speaking in the ancient language.

"The Wall of Confusion asked me to come here. I have a question, what is this illusion pool you said?" Angele questioned in a light tone. He held the handle of the cursed scimitar tight, slowly taking out the Light of Thorns using his other hand.
