Ruler of the Labyrinth!

After forty seconds of flying, Athan saw a vast blanket of darkness in front of him.

It was the forest of darkness.

Once Athan entered the border of the forest, a sudden force tried to suppress him.

Since his void field was activated, he managed to resist but only for a second as he plummed downwards.

*BANG!*

"Hehe, I told you that you won't be able to fly after entering the Forest of Darkness," Nina giggled, "you can fly but only inside the forest, not on top of it."

"Fine, fine," Athan stood up and shrugged before he said, "I can actually try to fly over the forest as well, but I will likely consume all of my Abyssal Blood Crystals by the time I reach the ascension platform."

Athan narrowed his eyes and looked at the trees and plants that were colorful, but all of them were glowing with darker shades of color like dark green, dark purple, dark blue, dark gold, etc.
