Chapter 92 - A Nagging Feeling

Ethan and Irene navigated their way back through the labyrinthine corridors of the maze, their new Drakos Aegis armor gleaming even in the dim light. The armor felt like a second skin, a powerful extension of their bodies, granting them an aura of invincibility.Lucas led the way, even though he is just a soulless puppet under Ethan's control. The once-defiant youth moved with mechanical precision, his eyes devoid of any spark of life.Ethan's grip on Lucas's soul was absolute, using him as a tool to navigate the maze's complex pathways and open the walls that led back to the Academy.They reached the ancient stone wall that marked the boundary of the Academy grounds. Ethan commanded Lucas to activate the hidden mechanism.Lucas's hands moved deftly over the symbols, his knowledge of runes now serving his master.As the wall slid open with a grinding sound, Ethan summoned Lucas back to his mind.
