บท 335: Chapter 335 At the Center of the Maze

When the light of the warp portal faded, Evelyn, Aralee, and Otis found themselves in an area that was completely unfamiliar.

It was similar to the checkpoints found throughout the maze, but far larger and containing several of the domain's terminals within it.

However, the most noticeable was at the northern end where a truly massive, leafless, and ungainly shaped tree that had motes of red lightning constantly flickering out of the multitude of cracks in its bark and dancing around it rested. Certainly, it was somewhat beautiful thanks to the red lightning, but the tree's overall presence was far more eerie and oppressive. 

'What the hell is that thing? Why is it here?' Evelyn thought her instincts telling her not to get anywhere near the tree. 

Despite it just laying unmoving at the northern end of the center of the maze, Evelyn was confident that it was not just for decoration and that getting too close to it would be deadly.
