Tyler stood inside the labyrinth, the towering walls surrounding him like a massive sand castle, though they were anything but fragile. He pressed his hand against the sandy surface, then punched it with all his strength. To his surprise, not even a speck of dust fell. It was solid, an unnatural structure, despite its delicate appearance.
Taking a deep breath, he recalled the chaotic moments before the labyrinth had surfaced. The tremors had started without warning, shaking the very foundations of the castle and the surrounding island. The ground had split open, and massive stone walls erupted from beneath the earth, forming an enormous maze that engulfed the entire capital, trapping everyone within. Tyler had barely had time to react.
He recalled the instruction he gave to Mana.
