Chapter 217: An illusion or real



The very essence of the labyrinth was rooted in its impenetrability, yet Wi\'thas and Narimar had defied the rules, leaving Jaegar bewildered and unnerved.

Before he could formulate a response or demand an explanation, Wi\'thas, in a blink, materialized near Jaegar.

The suddenness of his appearance caught Jaegar off guard, and in a startled retreat, he stumbled backwards, his back colliding with the trunk of a gnarled tree.

Reacting swiftly to the unforeseen proximity, Jaegar channelled the magic coursing through him. With focused intensity, he summoned forth a torrent of flames, a burst of raw elemental power that engulfed Wi\'thas and his immediate surroundings. The blaze roared to life, consuming the verdant foliage and casting dancing shadows against the maze\'s greenery walls.

Jaegar, now standing at a distance, observed the inferno he had unleashed upon Wi\'thas. The crackling flames danced voraciously, their tendrils licking at the branches and leaves. The once serene path has now transformed into a blazing spectacle, an eruption of magical fire that seems to defy the very nature of the maze.

From the outside, the maze retained its facade of a tranquil forest, concealing the magical turmoil within. The spectators, unaware of the inferno that raged within the illusionary maze, could only marvel at the mysterious exterior.

The trials within the maze were notoriously perilous, and survival depended on one\'s ability to navigate the treacherous illusions and magical obstacles. At some point, Jaegar thought that it might be all an illusion, but he couldn\'t explain why the other one showed up with Wi\'thas.

The presence of Wi\'thas and the other figure felt too real to be mere illusions, leaving him to wonder what their true intentions were within this magical turmoil.

Jaegar\'s eyes widened in disbelief as Wi\'thas emerged unscathed from the roaring flames. He was walking out of the flames in a leisurely manner as if they weren\'t bothering him in the least bit.

The intense heat had left its mark on his clothes, a testament to the inferno he had just weathered, yet the sorcerer himself appeared untouched by the destructive force he had faced.

Norimar, standing beside him, also remained untouched, the flames seemingly respecting the boundaries drawn by their arcane prowess. There was an invisible barrier around him that made the flames stop, in reaching him.

Wi\'thas, seemingly amused by the spectacle, let out a wicked laugh that echoed through the surroundings. The very fabric of the maze seemed to shudder in response to the sorcerer\'s malevolent mirth.

He looked back to Norimar and said, "See, those flames could have burned your orcs to cinders."

Norimar remained expressionless at Wi\'thas\'s remark. He knew that Wi\'thas was right.

Those flames drawn by Jaegar weren\'t just as simple as the normal ones done by chanting. He had summoned them without any incantation, and those symbols on his hands had made Norimar realize that Jaegar possessed a power far beyond what they had anticipated.

For the first time since he came here, he smiled upon seeing Jaegar.

Jaegar, still reeling from the revelation of their resilience, clenched his fists, the flames of his conjured inferno now extinguished.

Jaegar saw Norimar smile at him, and his whole body began to tremble without him knowing. It was a smile filled with malicious intent, and not to forget the aura around him, it was like leaking out of him. The green leaves and land around him were turning dry.

For the first time, he felt fear. He had forgotten what it was like to be afraid.

A smile appeared on his lips as he muttered, "Damn!" Shaking his head off, he took a deep breath, regaining his composure.

Noticing his state, Wi\'thas laughed again, turning to Norimar and saying, "Hey man, now you are scaring the kid."

The eerie laughter lingered in the air, a haunting resonance that painted a stark contrast to the blaze that had raged just moments ago.

Wi\'thas, undeterred and seemingly invigorated by the encounter, regarded Jaegar with a predatory glint in his dark eyes.

"You see, boy," Wi\'thas taunted, his voice dripping with sardonic amusement, "fire cannot harm those who have walked through the crucible of terror. Your attempts are futile, but I do appreciate the display."

Nodding to Norimar, Wi\'thas took a deliberate step forward, the air around him pulsating with arcane energy.

The maze, once again veiled in an illusion of tranquillity, betrayed no signs of the magical turmoil that had unfolded within.

Jaegar, his mind a tumult of frustration and determination, braced himself for the next phase of this enigmatic confrontation.

The labyrinth, woven with secrets and illusions, held its own against the unfolding drama, leaving the participants on the precipice of an arcane dance where the line between adversary and ally blurred in the shifting shadows of the maze.

Everyone was facing their internal battles, their desires and motivations intertwining with the intricate tapestry of the labyrinth.

In the aftermath of the failed fire assault, Jaegar\'s mind churned with a tumultuous blend of frustration and determination. The air still tinged with the residual magic of the extinguished flames, crackled with unspoken tension.

Wi\'thas, seemingly unaffected by the previous onslaught, and Norimar, standing stoically by his side, awaited Jaegar\'s next move.

Undeterred by the initial setback, Jaegar, drawing upon his reservoir of magical prowess, prepared for another assault.

The maze, shrouded in illusion, seemed to anticipate the unfolding arcane confrontation, the very air pulsating with latent energy.

With a swift, calculated motion, Jaegar conjured a barrage of arcane projectiles, each imbued with the raw force of his magical proficiency. The projectiles streaked through the air, aimed at Wi\'thas and Norimar with unerring accuracy. However, just as they were about to make contact, a subtle distortion rippled through the air, and the projectiles veered off course, dissolving into nothingness.

A wicked smile played upon Wi\'thas\' lips as he effortlessly deflected Jaegar\'s magical assault. The sorcerer seemed to revel in the intricate dance of power, his dark eyes gleaming with a predatory glint.

Norimar, by his side, maintained his watchful stance, a silent observer amidst the magical turmoil.

Undeterred, Jaegar shifted his approach. This time, he focused on weaving a complex pattern of illusions, casting illusions within illusions in an attempt to confound and disorient his adversaries. The verdant surroundings of the maze twisted and contorted, taking on surreal forms meant to befuddle the senses.

Wi\'thas, however, navigated the illusionary landscape with almost casual ease, his perceptive gaze cutting through the deceptive mirage. Norimar, too, seemed unaffected, his steady presence unwavering amidst the shifting illusions.

As Jaegar continued his attempts to breach their defences, he found himself locked in a disheartening cycle of frustration. Each magical assault and illusionary manoeuvre seemed to meet an impervious barrier, a testament to the formidable prowess of his adversaries. The very fabric of the maze responded to their command, turning Jaegar\'s attempts into a symphony of futility.

The minutes stretched into an eternity as Jaegar, fueled by a tenacious spirit, delved deeper into his arsenal of magical abilities. Arcane shields and bursts of elemental forces—all were unleashed in rapid succession, each met with an eerie calmness from Wi\'thas and the unyielding vigilance of Norimar.

It became apparent that Wi\'thas, with his centuries of arcane mastery, possessed an understanding of magic that transcended the norm. His irrationality, far from being a weakness, manifested as a wild, unpredictable strength that thwarted Jaegar\'s every move.

Norimar, on the other hand, embodied a stoic resilience, an observer whose unwavering gaze seemed to pierce through the very fabric of reality.

In the heart of the maze, the air crackled with the clash of magical forces. The illusionary walls absorbed the echoes of Jaegar\'s determined assaults, and the labyrinth itself seemed to bear witness to a confrontation that stretched the boundaries of magical prowess.

At some point, he again thought that those two were illusions created by the maze to block him and attack him. He can\'t deny the possibility of them being the illusions, seeing as the maze was responding to their whims and whatever the hell he tried was meant with a block or they were simply dismissed by them.

And there was also this strange feeling inside him, that these two were real, and their power wasn\'t what he could comprehend right now.

Wi\'thas was too animated, taking in his blows, and Norimar was too calm, not even fazed by his attacks, even a little.

With each thwarted attempt, Jaegar\'s frustration mounted, yet a spark of resilience burned within him. In the face of seemingly insurmountable odds, he knew that surrender was not an option. The arcane dance within the maze continued, a mesmerizing display of power and will that left the participants locked in a delicate balance between confrontation and revelation.
