111 Elder's Trial

"Did you find anything?" Leo asked Nina once they met back up at the black altar.

"No, nothing. There doesn't seem to be an exit, either."

"So we're trapped in here…?" Leo sighed.

"I knew it… That Otherworlder had tricked us. That was probably his way of revenge against the world that denied him— by luring people like us into a death trap that cannot be escaped." Nina rubbed her eyes in a stressed manner.

"..." Leo didn't say anything because he wasn't paying attention to Nina. Instead, he focused on the black altar.

"Let's try activating the magic circle," he suddenly said.

"Huh? What if it's a trap and kills us?" Nina raised an eyebrow.

"I mean, we're already trapped down here. If we don't do anything, we will still die down here, so we might as well try it."

Nina pondered for a moment before nodding her small head, "Alright. Let's do it."

"Good, because I already have an idea on how it'll activate."
