The Echoes Of The Abyss
Chapter 17: The End of the Adventure

Lian and Eris manage to fight their last enemy, a huge being who possesses invincible power. In a fierce fight, they cooperated meticulously and utilized their magic power to defeat their enemies.

After the fight was over, Lian and Eris felt extremely tired and injured. They sat on the ground and breathed heavily. "We made it," Lian said with a gasp of breath.

Eris nodded, "Yes, we did it. Now we have to find a way out of here."

Lian nodded, then looked around. They were in a large room filled with thousands of brightly shining crystals. Above their heads, there was a small hole that seemed to be able to take them out of that underground world.

Lian stepped towards the hole, but Eris held him back. "Wait a minute, there's something we have to do first."

Lian looked at Eris in surprise, "What should we do?"

Eris smiled, "We have to say goodbye."

Lian understood, then nodded. The two of them walked towards the largest crystal in the room. They looked at the crystal with great respect, then said a short prayer honoring the existence of the crystal and the underground world they were living in.

After which, they returned to the small hole above their heads. With great difficulty, they managed to climb the hole and come out to the surface.

As they reach the surface, the sun is rising and fresh air fills their lungs. They feel relieved and happy. They looked at each other, then smiled.

"Now what should we do?" ask Lian.

Eris smiled, "We must return to our world and move on with our lives. We must find a way to live in goodness and seek meaning in our lives."

Lian nodded, "Yes, we have to start a new life."

Eris looked at Lian gently, then gently touched Lian's cheek. "And we'll do it together."

Lian smiled, then kissed Eris gently. They hugged each other, feeling the warmth. Finally, they let go of hugs and walked away, towards the new life and adventure that awaits them in the future.

Lian and Eris again walk through the labyrinth filled with danger, looking for a way out of the underground world. They meet some ferocious creatures who try to stop them, but with Eris's courage and magic skills, they make it through all obstacles.

After walking for a few days, they finally found a way out. However, at the exit, they are faced with their last enemy, an evil sorcerer who wants to rule the underworld.

In a fierce fight, Lian and Eris fought desperately against the evil witch. However, they finally manage to defeat him with the help of a magic miracle from Eris.

After a grueling adventure, Lian and Eris return to the surface. They were relieved that their adventure had ended, but also felt sad about having to part ways.

However, as they walked in the opposite direction, Lian realized that she did not want to part with Eris. He turned around and ran towards Eris, and they hugged tightly. At that moment, Lian expressed her feelings for Eris and said that she did not want to part from him.

Eris also expresses her feelings for Lian and they promise to stay together, even after their adventure is over.

They spent a few moments together, thinking about what they would do next. Finally, they decided to return to the underground world and explore more places they had not explored before.

They know that challenging adventures are still waiting for them in the future, but they are ready to face them together. Their adventure may have ended, but their love story has just begun.

Lian and Eris headed towards the increasingly bright light at the end of the passageway. They jump over rocks and avoid small holes that could harm them. After a few minutes of walking, they arrived at a fairly large room with an exit at the end. The room looked like a long-neglected former temple. On the right side of the room, there was a large altar made of black stone. On the altar was a shining object.

Lian and Eris were very curious about it, and they walked towards the altar. As they got closer, they felt increasingly stronger the vibrations from the thing. Suddenly, they felt that something was gripping their feet. The two of them turned around and saw a huge monster consisting of various kinds of things that had already been broken. The monster attacked them quickly and they had to fight hard to fight against it.

Lian and Eris help each other during the fight and quickly discover the monster's weakness. They worked together effectively and in the end managed to defeat the monster. After the monster died, they proceeded towards the altar. They saw that the luminous object above the altar was a large crystal ball with a beautiful blue color. Lian and Eris looked at each other and they knew that this was the thing they had been looking for all along.

Lian took the crystal ball from above the altar, and soon after they both felt an extremely strong tremor. They knew that they had to leave the place immediately before anyone came and found them there. They opened the exit and exited into a long, dark tunnel. They ran as fast as they could, and eventually they came out to the surface.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky and they saw a village in the distance. Lian and Eris were both delighted and relieved, they finally made it out of that underground world. They knew that they still had to struggle to complete their tasks, but at least they had already successfully completed the first one. They smiled at each other and continued their journey to the village. The end of their adventure is still a long way off, but they are ready to face it with courage and determination.

Lian paused for a moment, pondering over Eris' words. He knew that Eris was right, that they could not let that power fall into the wrong hands. But on the other hand, he did not want to lose Eris. He could not imagine his life without that woman by his side.

"Lian, I know this is hard. But we have to decide what's best for the world. We can't just think of ourselves" Eris said in a soft voice.

"Eris, I get it. We have to do what's best for the world" Lian said.

Eris looked at Lian with a small smile, then grabbed Lian's hand and gave a soft kiss on her cheek. "Thank you, Lian. We'll tackle this together."

Lian smiled slightly, feeling her heart slightly relieved. He knew that they would face many obstacles and dangers ahead, but he felt that with Eris by his side, they could overcome all of that.

They again walked through the hallway, heading to the room where the power was hidden. When they got to the front door, Lian looked at Eris seriously.

"Eris, we have to be careful. We don't know what will happen when we take that power," Lian said.

Eris nodded, then prepared herself calmly. He concentrated his energy, then extended his hand towards the door and unleashed his magic. The door opened slowly, revealing a small room filled with light.

The two of them entered the room, their hearts pounding. In the middle of the room, there was a large crystal that was shining brightly. They walked towards the crystal, and when they touched it, they felt a powerful energy flowing into their bodies.

Suddenly, a voice echoed within the room, and the ground below them began to shake. They realize that they are not alone, and they must get out of there immediately.

"Eris, we need to get out of here now!" shout Lian.

They run to the door, but when they reach it, they are confronted by a mysterious woman with long black hair and blazing eyes.

"That woman!" shout Eris.

The woman smiled viciously, then stretched out her hand and unleashed a magic attack that hit Lian. The teenager was thrown backwards and fell hard on the floor. He felt pain all over his body and it was hard to breathe. When he tried to get up, Eris was already standing in front of him.

"Don't think that you can beat me, Lian," Eris said in a cold voice. "You're just a helpless little teenager in this underground world. No one can help you."

Lian fumbled to look for her magic wand, but could not find it. He felt like he was trapped inside an endless labyrinth and could not see any way out.

"Please, Eris," he said in a weak voice. "What do you want from me?"

Eris laughed cynically. "What do I want? I want to test your strength. I want to see if you deserve to live in this underground world. And, of course, I want to rule you."

Lian was horrified to hear those words. He knew that he could not fight Eris alone. But he didn't want to give up. He must try to find a way to defeat Eris and get out of this labyrinth.

He looked for a moment and then made a decision. He grabbed his sword and launched an attack towards Eris. However, Eris easily dodged it and charged back with an even stronger magic attack.

Lian fell down again and felt weaker. She was almost desperate, but then she remembered everyone she had ever loved and who had always supported her. He must survive, he must defeat Eris.

With a strong determination, Lian got up and launched an even stronger attack. This time, he managed to dodge Eris' magic attack and managed to attack her with his sword. Eris fell backwards, getting a deep cut.

Lian was relieved and a little surprised by his success. He did not know whether he would survive Eris' attack or not. But now, he knew that he could beat Eris if she was focused and determined.

He helped Eris stand up and handed her his sword. "Now let's work together to find a way out of this labyrinth" Lian said sincerely.

Eris pondered for a moment, then smiled. "You're great, Lian. I agree, we have to work together. And who knows, maybe there's a way out for both of us."

As they walked together, Lian felt that she had learned a lot from her adventures in the underground world. He has learned about courage, friendship, love, and sacrifice. And, although she was still far from home and her family, Lian felt stronger and better equipped to deal with whatever was to come in the future.

When they reached the surface, Lian and Eris parted ways. Although they have been on an incredible adventure together, Lian knows that she must return to her former life and live out her responsibilities. He promised Eris that they would meet again in the future, and thanked her for everything.

Upon returning home, Lian discovers that she has changed. He is more mature and wiser, and has a deeper understanding of himself and the world around him. He began to live his life more vigorously and more diligently, and continued to struggle to achieve his goals.

However, even though Lian had returned to her former life, she had never forgotten her adventures in the underground world. Whenever he felt hopeless or tired, he would remember his courage and determination while struggling to survive in that dangerous place. And every time he remembered Eris, he felt inspired by the magic magic and power he possessed.

Although Eris's whereabouts are still a mystery to her, Lian knows that she will always miss her new friend. And he knew that, one day, he would return to the underground world to continue their adventure together. Until that time comes, he will continue to fight to achieve his goal, while bringing memories of his adventures in the underground world as his motivation. The end of the adventure may have come, but Lian and Eris' story still continues.
