The Celestial Labyrinth was more than a test of strength; every turn, every corridor, and every room seemed to have its own will, challenging the participants in unexpected ways.
Tharos's group faced a corridor that split into five different passages, each glowing a distinct color: green, blue, red, white, and brown.
"It's the elements," Lyra said, watching the lights closely. "Each path probably requires affinity with a specific Dao."
"If we split up, we'll be faster," Ignis suggested.
Tharos shook his head. "If we split up, we risk being defeated individually. Let's go together, one element at a time."
The green path was filled with living roots that attacked like serpents. Lyra used the Dao of Water to weaken the roots, while Tharos, with the Dao of Earth, cut through the ground, stabilizing the group.
