Chapter 55: the guardians

"The Labyrinth is one massive living construct, and it is now connected to you father.

I don't know how, but the Labyrinth is self-sufficient, it uses the life force and bodies of all the beings that died in the Labyrinth," Elsa said.

"So what you're saying is that it consumes the beings that die to sustain itself, and then the extra humans that die here will be consumed so that the Labyrinth will grow," Silva said.

"That's basically all there is to it," Elsa replied.

"Then what about the time when it was hidden, the period when the Labyrinth was not open for people to enter?" Silva asked.

"It self-sustained, with my help, that is. Once every few days I release my aura, and the magic particles spread through the Labyrinth, creating more monsters.
