Reaching the end of the shadow labyrinth

"Boom!" An explosion echoed through the dark corridor behind Cain and his group with such overwhelming strength that it shook the very foundation of the labyrinth.

Though the oppressive shadows hindered their senses, it wasn't hard to discern what was happening. The walls were collapsing, grinding against each other with crushing force, sealing off the path behind them and crushing anything too slow to run away.

"Goddammit!" The entire group cursed in unison, their voices sharp with urgency. Without hesitation, they surged forward at their maximum speed. It was almost ironic—this team of Peak Divine Transcendence Masters, beings capable of burning oceans, rivaling stars, and a life span measured in the hundreds of thousands of years, now found themselves fleeing from a collapsing maze.

The ground beneath them trembled with each successive explosion, and the sound of crumbling stone grew louder. The labyrinth seemed alive, closing in on them like a predator.
