As Deon struggled under the assaults of the skeletons, assessing his situation, he suddenly heard a crackling sound in the air. Then, all of a sudden—
BOOOOOOM!
An explosion thundered in the distance, devastating a large portion of the labyrinth.
The blast wave swept over Deon, who raised his arm to shield himself from the blinding light.
When the dust finally settled, dozens of skeletons lay shattered across the floor.
His heart skipped a beat.
"An explosion?! Alexia?!" he wondered, glancing back and spotting a feminine silhouette approaching through the shadows.
He could feel that familiar energy.
Powerful. Radiant. There was no doubt—it was Alexia.
The dust slowly cleared, revealing a torn-up corridor littered with smoking bones.
Deon narrowed his eyes, searching for the source of the explosion.
His heart was pounding.
That aura… he would recognize it anywhere.
A smile spread across his face.
"So you're here, Alexia…" he murmured.
The battlefield had just changed.
