- “This underworld is starting to bore me to death.” Herogirl said to heroboy.
- “Why? Are the monsters too easy?”
- “Not just that. The whole place is kinda dull. How do the dead live here?”
- “Well the underworld is not supposed to be a nice place.”
- “In that case I hope I’ll never have to come here.”
- “But you will. We all do.”
- “Well if I do then I’m not going to let any underworld ruler to control my life.” Herogirl said boldly.
At that moment both of them got close to that labyrinth. There was a machae standing at the entrance. They saw him and herogirl proceeded to shoot an arrow at him.
The machae quickly moved out of his spot, managing to dodge the arrow and screamed:
- “The mortals are here. Lord Keuthonymus, they are here!”
Heroboy and herogirl looked at each other.
- “Did he say Keuthonymus?” Heroboy asked.
- “That’s what I’ve heard too. That means Keuthonymus is in the labyrinth.” Herogirl said.
- “Why would he live there?”
- “Maybe he is Minotaur’s brother.”
- “Maybe so.”
So both heroes entered the labyrinth. It truly was a confusing place. Every corridor looked exactly the same. They went on further, sometimes guessing where to go.
Suddenly they came to a room with 5 machae archers. Heroboy quickly ran towards them, while herogirl aimed at them. Just as the battle began, a few machae came from behind them, and a nearby Muse began singing a song - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NZlwe4bwEE
- “Crap! They’re everywhere.” Heroboy said and gulped a health potion.
Afterwards he proceeded to take down every single one of those archers, whilst herogirl shot down those machae that came from behind them.
They then proceeded to the next room, which was kind of big and had lots of ways out of it. That is when the real ambush occurred. Lots of machae and melinoe began streaming out of every corridor leading to the room, even from behind them and they were truly surrounded.
- “No. Now they’re everywhere.” Herogirl said.
- “I only have 13 health potions left.” Heroboy said.
- “It would suffice. Trust me.” Herogirl replied.
- “As you say.” Heroboy said and then set up a battleflag to help boost his and herogirl’s morale.
The machae were firing arrows at the heroes from everywhere. The heroes actually began to struggle now. Some of the melee machae and melinoe also came out and went up close to the heroes. Heroboy managed to take down those melee units one by one with his two awesome swords, while herogirl concentrated on the archers.
Suddenly a melinoe blade dancer came up to the herogirl and swung its swords at her, producing a scratch on her right arm. Herogirl looked at the scratch and then cursed:
- “You bitch!”
The blade dancer gave a crooked smile and continued spinning her swords. Herogirl threw a net at the blade dancer, trapping her.
- “Ha, not so tough now eh.” She mocked the blade dancer.
And straight after went ballistic with her arrows, destroying the blade dancer completely.
A couple of machae wardens entered the room now and both charged in at the heroboy. Heroboy quickly threw a flash bomb at his feet, which disoriented the machae wardens as well as every archer that was aiming at him.
- “Good job, brother.” Herogirl commented.
The two then spent the next few seconds slaughtering as many daemons as they could, while those were disabled.
Herogirl then took out a special arrow and aimed it at a massive, juicy group of monsters. Once she was sure it will get them, she shot it. The arrow hit one of the melinoe and on impact exploded onto lots of bits, hitting all the nearby monsters and managing to kill most of them.
- “What in Keuthonomaechia was that?” one of the master archers asked another one.
- “I think they call it a scatter shot. Only most skilled hunters can use those arrows.” The second master archer replied to the first one.
- “So you’re saying we’re not good enough yet to use it?”
- “No we are. It’s just Keuthonymus never bothered to supply our armies with those.”
- “No wonder we’re losing.”
At that moment heroboy reached those two and stuck his sword in their throats.
Here Callicrates entered the room too. He was the last one to enter it. The room was literally filled with monsters. There was hardly any breathing room. He seeked the heroboy out of the crowd and charged for him. Heroboy saw a high warden charging at him and so blew in his war horn. Callicrates got stunned by the shockwave from the horn for a split second, but then recovered quickly and began stabbing heroboy with his Phorkos Trident. It actually did hurt heroboy a fair bit and he began drinking health potions fast.
Callicrates still kept on doing it, hoping that heroboy will run out of potions. However heroboy changed his strategy and set off one of those flash bombs again. Callicrates got blinded for a couple of seconds. When he got his vision back he saw one of heroboy’s swords smacking him really hard. Though this strike would be lethal to a normal machae, Callicrates survived it.
What followed after that was heroboy going crazy with his swords, and herogirl added a few arrows too. Callicrates began to bleed badly now and so proceeded to run to the back of the army. A couple of other wardens got heroboy’s attention now, and grandmaster archer got herogirl’s. However those were defeated in just a few seconds.
Callicrates understood that this was useless and that he is just losing his army, so he commanded them all:
- “Retreat!!! We need to retreat!”
The daemons heard him and began running back into the rooms they came from. Heroboy and herogirl chased one of the daemon groups and took those down, until all the others ran out of their sight.
- “Cowards!” herogirl shouted.
- “Don’t worry. We’ll get them next time. They’ll be BACK.” Heroboy said.
- “Why? Are the monsters too easy?”
- “Not just that. The whole place is kinda dull. How do the dead live here?”
- “Well the underworld is not supposed to be a nice place.”
- “In that case I hope I’ll never have to come here.”
