Eren was seen standing against the hive of cave entrances.
The butcher felt that there was a thin layer of barrier that prevented him from taking the old path he had taken. Meaning he couldn't use his experiences from the previous path to find Sage's location.
"Hmm. Back to square one, huh?"
Eren mumbled to himself as he chose a different route than before. Unlike his first attempt, Eren decided to make conscious efforts in finding the Sage instead of programming himself to defend himself against Sage's assassination.
Eren knew setting up a priority like this was bound to make him more prone to being assassinated by Sage's shadows. However, he wasn't afraid to visit the Nightmare Domain anymore. There was some part of him that was even looking forward to it.
The same cycle repeated itself.
