Chapter 570 - 570: A Moment Of Peace
Zach was dead tired. Most of his injuries had recovered. It was a life where he put his life on the line, but it wasn't a messy dogfight where he accumulated a bunch of broken bones. Either he lived or he didn't. Fortunately, the Hydra had been surprisingly easy to talk to.
If her personality had been worse, everyone would have died.
Most of Zach's fatigue and the poor condition of his body came from the world essence energy. He had already taxed his body until he felt the backlash during the first two rounds against the Hydra when she was still in her lizard form.
And then, when she shrank and transformed, he had been forced to overdo it. His body was practically useless.
He didn't even have anything to show for it.
Zach sighed as he re-entered the Labyrinth with Yanael and Mandra. Since Soara, Alzara, and Lexi weren't out yet, it probably meant they were staying on the thirtieth floor. Zach would have to go get them.
Fortunately, descending was a lot easier this time since they had already done it once. They didn't have to complete the obscure and repetitive objectives of each floor. They just had to take it easy when Zach had trouble withstanding the vertigo. There was one floor they couldn't take it easy on, though. The twentieth floor wasn't very welcoming to them for some reason, and they hurried away to the next.
It didn't take long for them to return to the thirtieth floor, where the chill had started to set in and fill the air with icy crystals.
Zach was too weak to make a barrier that could withstand the chill, so Mandra handled that. She was also prepared to handle the
Yanael and Mandra, who had gotten the best look at how far Zach pushed himself this time, had mixed feelings.
On one hand, they were happy to have such an admirable and powerful Master who took care of them and fought because he didn't want them to risk their lives without him.
On the other hand, their inadequacy had led to Zach's current condition. If they were stronger, he wouldn't need to push himself so far. He also wouldn't have to worry about them.
But it wasn't like Zach was going to sit still and wait for them to surpass him until his meager strength was redundant. They would have to work hard.
The silence made for many thoughts, not just within Yanael's and Mandra's minds. But the foremost one that they all, except Zach, who dreamed of frogs, shared was a question.
They all wondered when the egg would hatch.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait as long as it took for the egg to reach its current state.
A little while after Zach fell asleep, the egg cracked, and dark light emerged like sunlight through a broken roof.
