Chapter 32

They were all wearing complete bronze-colored Greek armor, helmets covering their faces, and holding spears, swords, and bows.

There was no talking; they just attacked them.

He bent down at first so that the shooters behind the Greek could shoot arrows over his head.

Then he teleported away and ignored the Greek that was coming toward him.

He reappeared behind the ten archers, who didn't even turn to attack him. He swung his sword and beheaded the two of them.

The only thing that came out of their necks was a black mist. These individuals' heads and bodies turned into smoke when they hit the ground.

These black clouds didn't disappear; instead, they spread to other people and entered their bodies.

Dio jumped backward to try to figure out what happened. The eight archers then turned to him and started shooting.

They were a little faster than before. He ran at them while holding his shield out in front of him.

When he got in front of them, he cut the third archer in half with his shield.

He jumped and rolled on the ground to dodge another attack. When he stood up, he faced the next enemy, whom he hit with his shield, crushing their skull.

After these deaths, which happened in a few seconds, the same result happened again.

The bodies turned into mist, which was absorbed by those who were still left.

Dio looked ahead and saw that his time was up.

While one group of soldiers turned around and came towards him, the other group kept fighting Diana, who wasn't killing them but using her bracelets to protect herself from their attacks.

Dio quickly understood that if he killed one of them, the others would become stronger, so the best way to win was to stop them without killing them.

He jumped over any warriors that were in his way as he ran toward Diana.

He jumped at them, used the wall of the hallway as a trampoline to get over them, and landed a few inches from Diana.

"I have a plan, but you have to stay behind me,"

Dio said to her.

Diana nodded and stepped back with him for a few meters so that all the enemies gathered.

When that happened, Diana stayed behind him, and Dio advanced.

Dio kneeled in front of the warriors with his sword held down and plunged it into the ground. He would normally try to end the fight with magic, but it's getting too hard for him to do so at this point.

He doesn't know how far he has to walk to get to the end, but he has to take the chance.

"Επικαλούμαι το κρύο της θλίψης του ποταμού Cocyte!"

(I summon the cold of sorrow from the River Cocytus!)

He was holding the sword when a black mist that looked like tar rose up and moved toward the warriors. They all freeze when it runs through their feet.

Now, all the soldiers are frozen up to their knees.

The people then try to break free by hitting the ice with their weapons. Those who break the ice in their legs also break their own legs, so they have to crawl on the ground.

"Your magical abilities are getting more powerful."

Diana said as she stood by my side.

"Thank you."

This is one of his personal spells that he created, and he made a few others using the same system.

The River Cocytus is one of the rivers that flow through the entire underworld, and his spells can summon some parts of the underworld, like the cold of the cries ailing from the River of Wailing.

At the moment, he can only summon a bit of its true power, but it's enough to give him confidence in being a hero.

"Let's go; we can't stay still for too long."

Diana then said to him.

She started running toward the warriors, and when she got close to them, she jumped over them, and Dio also followed.

They exit the temple at full speed, with Diana in the lead and him behind.

'I'm feeling a bit tired; I should have used my shadow teleportation less. It was a mistake I won't repeat.'

After leaving the temple, they return to the cave. After going through a big hole in the wall, they saw a huge yellow stone maze. After going through a big hole in the wall, they saw a huge yellow stone maze.

They are high above its walls, so all he can see are all the turns and twists it has. It would take days or even weeks for anyone to find the exit.

"This is the first labyrinth,"

Diana spoke from his side and looked down at the labyrinth.

"I thought we were already in the labyrinth."

"We are, but every time I come here, it maintains this same scene, even if all the others are different."

Diana said.

"Do you come here often?"

Dio asked her.

"I like to come at least once every generation to keep my skills sharp."

Diana replied with a smile.

Then she stopped talking and kept walking, but she didn't jump right into the opening below the labyrinth.

Instead, she jumped onto the wall of the labyrinth and kept walking through it without entering it.

It might be a kind of cheat, but after a while, he realized why she cheated.

In fact, the darn labyrinth we were stepping on was much larger than he thought.

Honestly, Dio doesn't know how anyone could pass through it. It was another test, this time to judge our creativity.

"Here they come!"

Diana said.

They are being attacked by shadowy hands that look like hands coming from the walls below the labyrinth.

They both kept going, and now they were running at full speed. The shadows were moving quickly, and avoiding them was difficult.

"Is this part of the labyrinth trying to defeat us using mental tricks? Are you experiencing any hallucinations?"

Diana asked in front of him.

"Are these black things trying to pull me down as an illusion?"

Dio asked her.

"No, they are real,"

Diana responded.

"Then I'm okay."

The shadowy hands were getting harder around the middle of the labyrinth. He pulled out his sword to help him keep going.

Meanwhile, Diana decided to fly a few meters above the walls.

Then they see the end of the labyrinth with two solid rock walls and another hole in the middle.

The torches around the area light up when they exit the original labyrinth and reach the rock ground a few meters from the entrance.

A huge Minotaur appears in the middle, between the exit and them.
