I'M THE HERO

Chapter 15: labyrinth

 Ryazania POV:

I had defeated Fein, though it hasn't been long since I've arrive in this world, my skills have greatly improved.

The source of my power has been an underlying question that has plague my mind since the beginning, 

Narrator POV:

Ryazania and Fein ventured into the labyrinth while Mal stayed behind to care for Vengir's wife. Vengir, determined to assist them, guided Ryazania and Fein through the entrance.

The labyrinth was a sprawling, maze-like structure, its stone walls covered in ancient carvings and runes. As they descended into the depths of the labyrinth, the air grew cooler, and the light from the entrance faded, replaced by the dim glow of enchanted torches lining the walls.

Ryazania couldn't help but think about her parents and her old way of life. 

Memories of her family filled her mind—her parents' laughter, the warmth of her home, and the playful times spent with her cousin. She wondered if her cousin might also be somewhere in this labyrinth, facing similar dangers and challenges.

Floor 1 of the labyrinth greeted them with a myriad of threats. 

They fought their way through swarms of giant spiders, their fangs dripping with venom. 

The spiders' silk was tough, and their numbers overwhelming, but Ryazania and Fein worked together seamlessly, their movements synchronized as they dispatched the arachnid threats.

Next, they encountered enormous worms that tunneled through the walls, emerging unexpectedly to attack. Their tough, segmented bodies were resistant to conventional strikes, but Fein's precise swordsmanship and Ryazania's quick reflexes allowed them to find weak points and bring the creatures down.

Further into the labyrinth, they faced serpents whose scales shimmered with an unnatural sheen. The serpents were fast and agile, their strikes deadly. However, Ryazania and Fein's combined efforts and strategic planning allowed them to outmaneuver and defeat the serpents one by one.

Giant deformed wolves lurked in the shadows, their eyes glowing with a malevolent light. 

These beasts were particularly challenging, their size and strength making them formidable opponents. Despite this, Ryazania's agility and Fein's brute strength proved to be a powerful combination, and they managed to bring down the wolves after a fierce battle.

Reaching Floor 2, they encountered their most formidable foe yet—a drake. The creature's scales were as tough as armor, and its breath was a searing flame. 

The battle was intense, each attack from the drake met with a counter from Ryazania and Fein. Just as they managed to deal a fatal blow, the drake let out a deafening roar, a call for help to its kin.

As the echoes of the roar reverberated through the labyrinth, Ryazania and Fein braced themselves for the imminent arrival of more drakes. The air grew tense, the anticipation of the next battle weighing heavily on their minds.

"Stay alert," Fein warned, his grip tightening on his sword. "We need to be ready for anything."

Ryazania nodded, her senses heightened, and her thoughts briefly returning to her family. 

She drew strength from the memory of her parents and the hope of finding her cousin. 

With determination in her eyes, she readied herself for the battles to come, knowing that she had the support of her friends and allies.

Ryazania POV:

As we descended deeper into the labyrinth, we used teleportation circles to move between the floors.
