Alastor, moving with astonishing speed, arrived at his next destination: another orange-marked zone. He quickly surveyed the mission laid out before him – a massive, sprawling maze. Navigating it seemed simple enough, at first glance. That's precisely where Alastor had miscalculated. The maze itself posed a significant challenge, but it was the hidden traps, the lurking beasts, and countless other unforeseen obstacles that truly made it a formidable trial.

He tested one, pressing against its surface, then delivering a blow with all his might. The wall remained unmarred, not even a scratch. Alastor realized these weren't ordinary barriers. The entire maze felt imbued with power, likely the work of a highly skilled ability user, perhaps someone with earth manipulation or a similar talent.
