William looked over to Damien, "Dare I ask what this last resort is, I was just asking to see if you could buff Nikkis walls, but by all means do something."
"What should we do?" Vincent asked he focused on trying to extend his magecraft to his companions and negate assassins explosions, or at least make it so noone got burned, he was still on edge from War and his threats, but he was not about to let it get him down, he had to fight, fighting calmed the mind."

Claudia looked at Victoria through narrowed eyes. "Berserker, lets fly!" She said to her servant, and the two of them started to float upwards trying to find a way into the Labyrinth from above as Assassin had done. She could feel the age of the walls that Nicola and Berserker had put up, but the mystery and pain of myriad souls permeated the labyrinth, she was unable to draw out any useful memories that could help them, but she could sense the souls were still trapped within the walls, maybe she could use that too her advantage she was not sure but one thing she was sure of was, Death comes for everyone.
She turned down to Death beneath her, standing alone her Servant yet to be seen, wrapped in an armour of living Lightning. Claudia nodded to Berserker and he raised her up also.
"Death, Famine go with Berserker, help Conquest and War and stop them." Claudia spoke to the final Horseman.
Death looked back at Claudia although her eyes were hidden under her visor, there was no doubt she was staring into Claudia, it was a powerful gaze, that Claudia could feel it in her soul, it was as if Deaths contempt for her was carving away at her very existence. Claudia, had to catch her breath, and Death laughed, before breaking free from Berserkers gravity loop and flying towards the labyrinth entrance on a stream of clouds. She opened her hands and a wave of lightning branched outwards hitting parts of the Labyrinth, she was challenging its thousand plus years old mystery with her willpower and own agency.
The walls faltered, and with a blast of water and explosion of fire that crushed and incinerated the walls, Conquest and War walked free.
Death looked towards her three companions and they looked uptowards her, even War seemed submissive, Conquest in awe and Famine proud.
"I have only the slightest idea what is going on, but I'm not sure I like it. But if these kids really are parallels of us, it would be insulting to go easy on them. Ignore the masters, those girls have no idea how to conquer, how to fight, how to devour and most of all how to kill both the body and the soul and wipe from existence."
Conquest looked up to Death, and his ice armour melted away completely. He bowed and saluted. "Woe to the defeated." He said.
Deaths armour started to slowly fade away, her form starting to materialise more focused. Until standing above them on a platform of cloud, stood undoubtedly The Head Archmage, Alysis Woe. "And Woe to the living." As she said that a wave of ion charged pulses rained down, and the Labyrinth began to falter, as Deaths prana began to decay the mystery as it tried to restore itself.
