deep inside the dungeon, Liam stood before the shimmering illusionary wall he had just passed through. He took a deep breath, dusting off his clothes before glancing at Asger, the half-dragon perched on his shoulder.
"First round cleared."
He muttered, more to himself than anyone else.
Asger scoffed.
"Took you long enough."
Liam rolled his eyes but didn't argue.
Instead, he scanned his surroundings. The first labyrinth was behind him, but that only meant the real challenges were about to begin.
A deep rumble echoed through the underground passage, and Liam tensed. It seemed the next phase was starting sooner than expected.
"I have a feeling things are only going to get worse from here,"
\H muttered.
Asger grinned, baring his sharp teeth.
"Good. I was starting to get bored."
