With time running short, the party splits up to pursue different leads. Some remain behind with the wizard and the unstable cores, while others search for clues about a rumored phoenix nest and investigate the tower itself. But within the labyrinth, every answer seems to lead to even more questions. What truly happened to the Crystal Tower? Why was the party sent into the past? And what will happen if the dungeon core finally dies? Find out by watching Episode 25 of True Hero!
