Chapter Ten

The endless tunnels were depressing and this whole dead world enervating. The whole group looked tired as they reached the thirteenth floor of the maze. Just one more to go, and they’d make it to the core of the lair and finally finish this.

The going had been rough in a few places, they’d tripped a few more traps. But nothing as harrowing as the acid trap, and without wights to add to the chaos and fear, it was a lot easier to maintain a vigilant and sure focus untainted by fear, chills, and paranoia.

There’d been crushing walls, lowering ceilings, and several others deadly traps that were slow in nature, and easily dealt with using earth magic before any lives were truly endangered or harm done. Deadly traps, but not so for a sorcerer with endless access to weaving magic. The only danger was one of tiring, and she was far too excited to see the end of this war and the permanent end of the necromancer to start flagging now.

She cast an air and earth weave, to insulate their location and she hoped make it impossible to be spied upon by the liches.

She said, “Alright, we have two junctions, and then the stairs down to the lair itself. There’s a large gallery with the remains of this world’s artwork, a collection the lich necromancer gathered before his body and mind were fully twisted with death magic. When he was still capable of valuing such things.

“Past that is another cavern which is a large library of wizard magic as well as alchemical equipment.

“Beyond that is the vault which holds the three hearts. I’m going to guess they’ll ambush us in the art room. At this point, that will hold no value for them, where knowledge of magic still will even in their corrupted states.

“Sometimes the best plan is mass destruction. One enhanced firebomb spell should do the job, I’d think. Six of them will surely break through their protections and force them into a torpor. If our six spells fail, the mages will finish them off. Forty-five fire and air mages on each of them, so pick your team now.

“I suspect the major danger is truly behind us, but don’t underestimate them and be prepared to deal with the unexpected. They’ve surely picked up enough about our strengths and weaknesses from how we dealt with the maze to prepare a dangerous reception for us. But, while they are a threat not to be underestimated, as they helped destroy this world, they’ve never dealt with sorcerers and mages before.

“Once they’re down, the mages will stay in the room and take turns bathing them in fire and air magic. That will prevent them from regenerating and restarting the fight. James, Evelyn, and I will continue on to the vault with a single air mage to keep us all in oxygen. There is one more ward to protect their hearts in their containers in the vault to deal with, then we end it for good.
