Chương 125: The Cursed Loop    

Seraphina looked up at Horizon. "What did you find out?"

Horizon folded his arms, his gaze sweeping over the tense faces. "The corpses? They weren't just lost—they were trapped in some kind of looping barrier. That's why they couldn't find the monolith. It's like a maze with no exit, warping anyone's sense of direction. If we keep wandering aimlessly, we'll end up just like them."

Dawnfire's expression darkened. "A barrier? So, someone set this up intentionally?"

"Most likely," Horizon replied. "Whether it's a trap laid by another guild or some ancient magic protecting this region, we don't know yet. But one thing's clear—finding the monolith won't be as simple as we thought. We're not just dealing with obstacles; we're dealing with something that wants us lost."
