"Did you feel that?" - Lyutillis asked as she looked at her friend with a frown.
"Yes, that was a huge concentration of mana at its purest, it was an explosion that lasted for a few seconds" - Meiru replied as she thought carefully - "But that that mana explosion could be detected even outside the labyrinth, it has to have been extremely large..."
"That's the thing, there shouldn't be anything inside the labyrinths that could achieve that level of purity and power, which means that the person responsible must have been someone outside, or maybe we don't know certain information..." - Lyutillis replied, confused with the overall situation because she really didn't understand what was going on.
"Are you saying that pure mana came from Cloud?" - Meiru asked with mild interest as she licked her lips.
"It's a hypothesis, but it's quite possible" - replied Lyutillis as she started to think - "I mean, our group is the only one that has entered the labyrinth, and let's be honest, Cloud is the only one I see releasing that kind of mana."
"You're right, the others are too centralised to the traditional beliefs of magical application, even we are" - Meiru said with a frown - "That aside, I sense something strange inside the labyrinth..."
"You say Van-kun is awake and causing trouble?" - Lyutillis asked with a frown.
"No, I think it's because of something we've been ignoring," Meiru replied as she started to think.
Lyutillis raised an eyebrow as she waited for her friend to continue with her words.
"Do you remember the fact that I'm half vampire?" - Meiru asked as she folded her arms.
"Yes, that's why you managed to survive for so long" - Lyutillis replied calmly.
"Well, when a vampire absorbs the blood of a superior being, they acquire certain enhancements that depend on our prey, in this case, all my senses seem to have gotten a huge upgrade, that's why for a few seconds I managed to sense a faint presence in the deepest part of this place, much deeper than the labyrinth extends..."
"Something beneath the labyrinth?" - Lyutillis repeated as his expression changed to a serious one - "You say there is something sealed beneath our labyrinths?"
"The hypothesis does not sound far-fetched, if we remember that the labyrinths were built in areas where the intervention of the gods is impossible" - answered Meiru seriously - "I mean, there must be a reason for this to be possible, that's why I came to the conclusion that maybe, just maybe, there is something sealed in these places".
"But if that's true, then we should have discovered them while creating our labyrinths" - said Lyutillis with a frown - "I understand what you're saying, but I find it too far-fetched."
"Lyu-chan, we have faced gods, seen things that no other person can think of, we even managed to see the edge of the world..." - Meiru said as she gave him a blank look - "Why should it be a surprise that something is sealed just below our labyrinths?"
Lyutillis opened her mouth to try and say something, though to her surprise the words got stuck in her throat.
"That aside, the possibility exists, and if that thing woke up, then Cloud and the others are in big trouble..." - Meiru said while frowning - "Maybe this is a good time to try contacting Van-chan."
Lyutillis was silent for a few more seconds before nodding - "Ok, we'll have to go inside though, and you know how mazes work."
"I don't think that's much of a problem, we just have to get Van-chan to open the shortcut to the main hall," said Meiru as she shrugged her shoulders.

[That was... interesting, yet strange at the same time...]
Vandre Schnee, the dragon-demon hybrid was impressed by the skill of the new challenger of his maze, though at the same time he was confused because something out of his control had happened.
[How could one of my monsters mutate so much?]
Vandre was silent, contemplating the situation, when he felt three presences, one under the labyrinth that left him confused, although what surprised him the most were the two presences that had just stepped on the entrance of his "home".
[They were released?]
Vandre was excited, so he quickly focused his attention on the entrance, seeing two people that brought him a strange feeling of nostalgia.
[But what are they doing here?]
That question left him confused, after all, even if they managed to free themselves from his seal, there was no reason to come to his labyrinth, unless they wished to free him, though honestly, he did not wish for this.
[We have done more than enough for this world, that's why we built the labyrinths, so that we could pass our will on to others, but... enough is enough...]
Vandre was silent for a few seconds before making a secret passage appear in front of the two women, after all, it was obvious that they needed to tell him something important, possibly related to this group, as it was too much of a coincidence that they appeared right after these challengers.
A few minutes later, the silhouettes of Lyutillis and Meiru appeared in the final room, the place where the vessel of their ancient magic was.
[I'm actually surprised that you came, Lyutillis, Meiru...]
"We didn't really plan to come in" - Meiru replied as she folded her arms - "We only did it because we have bad news."
[If you're going to talk about Ehit, then don't say anything else, I don't want to hear any more about it]
"Eh?" - Lyutillis let out a small cry of surprise because he wasn't expecting this reaction, while Meiru simply frowned.
"What was that all about, Van-chan?" - Meiru asked with annoyance.
[It's simple, all this time made me calmly think about my situation, discovering that enough was enough].
"What do you mean?" - Lyutillis asked with slight hostility.
[Like I said, I've had enough of all this].
Meiru and Lyutillis were silent as they waited for their old friend to continue with his words.
[We have sacrificed more than enough for this world, Meiru, Lyutillis, even you have to feel it.]
The two women remained silent because even if they didn't want to admit it, the dragon-demon hybrid was right, but it was for this very reason that they felt they had to go all the way, and thus honour the sacrifices of all those who were left behind.
[I can deduce what they think, but from my perspective this is useless, I... I have nothing left to fight for...].
Meiru and Lyutillis let out a sigh.
[My people disappeared, and now only Ehit's puppets are left, the people who managed to pull me out of my depression were taken away from me, and more than half of my friends are either dead or close to it].
"Van-kun, we know how you feel, but that's why we must end this" - said Lyutillis calmly - "So no one else will have to go through what we have suffered."
[And that's why we created the labyrinth, to pass our will when it was still strong, however, I... I'm tired, tired of seeing the passage of time, tired of all these nightmares of not being able to save my loved ones, tired of waiting for a future that may never come].
"Van-kun, that future is right in front of us" - Meiru said seriously - "The leader of this group, Cloud, managed to hurt Ehit and force him to stay locked in his dimension to recover."
[So what? Is that going to change anything in our lives? Is it going to bring back all those we lost, my brothers, my beloved, their families?]
Meiru and Lyutillis again remained silent, after all, it was obvious that Vandre was not going to change her mind, although it was not as if they could blame her, they could deduce that he had been conscious all this time, constantly suffering from nightmares about the past.
[If that's all, then you'd better leave, I don't want to talk about it anymore, I don't want to be released from this seal either because I feel that this is the only way I can punish myself for not being able to save my family and loved ones...].
"There is something else I want to ask you..." - Meiru said earnestly, ignoring the silence her old friend was giving her - "Did you manage to sense the presence beneath the labyrinth?"
[For a few seconds, honestly, I don't know what that thing is, though what I can assure you is that it is possibly equally or more dangerous than Ehit, after all, if it was sealed in this area that prevents the gods from acting, then at the very least it has to be a high-ranking god, or even a primordial]
The two women's expression remained natural because this was something that had also crossed their minds.
[Although it's also possible that this is just random thoughts and the thing locked up is a troublesome low-ranked god, who is not strong, but has a dangerous ability]
"Why do you say this?" - Meiru asked seriously.
[Because I could feel how its power seemed to mingle with my labyrinth for a few seconds before its presence disappeared, in other words, it is possible that this thing's ability is one of emotion control].
