Axel sprinted through the sound of heavy footsteps echoing behind him. He chanced a glance over his shoulder and saw the stone humanoid creatures chasing him, their bodies made entirely of rock, and their eyes glowing with an eerie light.
Axel knew he had to keep moving, but his heart was pounding in his chest and his legs were starting to ache. Suddenly, he stumbled and almost fell as one of the creatures lunged at him. He quickly regained his balance and turned around, ready to face his attackers.
"This is one of the rarest times that I felt my power was lacking and I felt tired."
Axel thought.
With a fierce determination in his eyes, Axel raised his weapon and charged towards the stone creatures. The sound of metal clashing against rock filled the air as he battled his way through them, slicing and dicing with expert precision. His heart was pounding and his arms were beginning to tire, but he refused to give up.
As Axel fought his way through the stone creatures, Azer was caught off guard by one of them. The creature slammed into him with a heavy blow, knocking the wind out of him and sending him crashing to the ground. Azer tried to get back up, but the pain in his belly was too much, and he doubled over, vomiting blood onto the ground.
Axel heard Azer's cries of pain and quickly made his way over to him, dispatching the stone creatures with a few swift blows. He knelt down beside Azer and assessed his injuries, realizing that he had taken a severe blow to the stomach.
"If he is not given medical treatment, he will not last much longer."
With no time to waste, Axel hoisted Azer over his shoulder and began to run towards the exit. He could hear the stone creatures beginning to stir again, and he knew they needed to get out of there fast. With his heart pounding in his chest, Axel ran faster than he ever had before, determined to get Azer to safety.
Nav's sharp eyes caught sight of something they had not seen before. It was a gleaming white door, unlike any of the other doors they had encountered so far.
"Guys! Look over there!" Nav shouted, pointing toward the door. "I don't remember seeing this door before."
Axel, who was carrying Azer and Ekail, immediately turned towards Nav's voice. "What door?" he asked, his eyes scanning the area for any signs of danger.
Navi pointed again toward the white door. "That one!" he said, a sense of excitement and anticipation rising in his voice. "We haven't been this way before."
As she spoke, she dove down, dodging one of the attacks from the stone creature.
Ely, who had been scanning the area for any signs of danger, nodded in agreement. "Let's go," she said, her voice steady and determined.
Without hesitation, Axel carried Azer, and Ekail tried to protect Axel and Ely as they started running towards the door. Navi followed close behind, his heart racing with anticipation. As they reached the door, Axel gently set Azer and Ekail down on the ground and examined the door.
"It doesn't seem to have any traps or locks," he said, looking up at the others. "I think it's safe to go through."
With a nod of agreement, Ely pushed the door open, and they all stepped through.
