Meanwhile, As if sensing his hesitation, Vaelith's voice echoed calmly within his mind.
[I know how to help her… without ruining things for Sophie.]
Bruce's gaze never left the distant battlefield as he responded quietly, How?
There was a brief pause, then Vaelith spoke again, tone steady, deliberate.
[You have to feed this Labyrinth to Axiom. That will weaken the structure of the dungeon itself. The beast may still retain its undying trait, but unlike before, once Sophie shatters its necrotic core, it will no longer be able to regenerate.]
Bruce's eyes narrowed slightly.
'That explained everything.'
Without another word, he shifted his path, circling around the battlefield at high speed, careful not to disturb Sophie's flow. The shadow wolves adjusted seamlessly, continuing to erase fodder as he moved past, their presence masking his trajectory as he headed toward the deepest point of the dungeon world.
Toward the heart.
It didn't take long.
