Capítulo 317: The Trial of Death

Xander understood the implications of dying on the trial grounds, but turning back was not an option. He had promised he would not let Leena pay for his mistakes, and he intended to keep his word.

With his Chronica hanging out of his jacket, Xander entered the hidden doorway which led to a dimly lit passage lined with glowing blue masks that resembled demonic faces.

The narrow path led Xander to the starting point of an ancient maze with thick stone walls overgrown with leafy vines and moss.

As Xander walked into the maze, the doorway closed behind him, but fortunately enough, the floating lamps overhead provided sufficient light to navigate the labyrinth.

Xander's path diverged into two separate directions as he made his way forward. He stopped and reached for his Chronica. However, his reliable pocket watch failed to help him this time.
