"Since Player 666 has refused to listen and has broken the rules, disrupting the trial, he is to be eliminated....along with the players with him."
There was a brief silence.
And then...
"What?"
Ezekiel exclaimed in shock.
The rest were also stunned by this as well.
Ezekiel turned toward Alex, eyes filled with frustration.
"Seriously?!"
He didn't even know the guy.
Freya frowned, stepping closer to Alex with narrowed eyes.
"Alex, what did you do this time?"
Alex sighed, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Well, in case you didn't hear, apparently blasting my way straight through the maze is considered cheating. The undead guide wasn't happy about that, so it tried to drag me to hell. I killed it, caused a mini-earthquake, and… well, now we have this."
Ezekiel's eyes widened.
"Wait. You were the reason for the earthquake?!" he practically shouted.
