The battle between Spy and Kael continued unabated, with both opponents trading blows and attacks without pause. The labyrinth was beginning to collapse under the force of their attacks, and Maya realized she had to do something to stop the destruction.
Suddenly, Spy smiled with a sly look.
"Kael," Spy said. "I think the time has come to end this."
With a quick movement, Spy began to gather energy in his body. Kael realized what was happening and tried to attack Spy, but it was too late.
Spy launched a super attack, an energy blast that destroyed everything around him. The labyrinth collapsed in on itself, with walls and ceilings exploding under a shower of debris.
Kael tried to defend himself, but the attack was too powerful. He was thrown back, his body slamming into the ground hard.
Maya screamed in horror as she saw the destruction of the labyrinth. She tried to run to Alex, but the explosion blew her back.
When she finally managed to get up, she saw that Alex was okay, if a little dazed. Together they looked back at where Kael had been, but there was no sign of the man.
"Where is Kael?" Maya asked.
Alex shook his head.
"I don't know," he replied. "But I think he's… dead."
Maya was silent for a moment, processing what had happened. She then looked at Alex and walked over.
"Let's go," she said. "We need to get out of here before it's too late."
Together they walked out of the ruined maze, leaving behind the devastation caused by Spy's super attack.
As they walked away from the maze, Maya noticed something strange. Despite the destructive battle between Spy and Kael, they didn't seem to be true enemies but rather friends.
"Alex," Maya asked. "Do you think Spy was just playing with Kael?"
Alex nodded.
"Yes, it seems to be that," he replied.
Suddenly, a strong wind began to blow, and dark clouds gathered in the sky. Lightning lit up the horizon, and a figure emerged from the shadows.
It was Kael, but he was not the same man she had seen before. His body was covered in scars, and his eyes shone with an unearthly intensity.
"I'm not done yet," Kael said, his voice booming like thunder. "The real battle has only just begun."
Maya and Alex looked at each other, shocked and frightened. What did this mean? What planes did Kael have?
