Zach was dead tired. Most of his injuries had recovered. It was a life where he put his life on the line, but it wasn't a messy dogfight where he accumulated a bunch of broken bones. Either he lived or he didn't. Fortunately, the Hydra had been surprisingly easy to talk to.
If her personality had been worse, everyone would have died.
Most of Zach's fatigue and the poor condition of his body came from the world essence energy. He had already taxed his body until he felt the backlash during the first two rounds against the Hydra when she was still in her lizard form.
And then, when she shrank and transformed, he had been forced to overdo it. His body was practically useless.
He didn't even have anything to show for it.
Zach sighed as he re-entered the Labyrinth with Yanael and Mandra. Since Soara, Alzara, and Lexi weren't out yet, it probably meant they were staying on the thirtieth floor. Zach would have to go get them.
