Finally, after more than a week of travel, their path ended abruptly in an expansive yet completely empty chamber. The moment they stepped into it and began cautiously looking around, a loud rumbling echoed from behind.

"Fuck!" Just as Magi cursed, the ground beneath their feet suddenly fractured and shattered into countless fragments, sending everyone plummeting downward.
Orion reacted instantly, swiftly grabbing Magi by the collar to prevent his almost certain demise from such a drop, while the others adjusted their postures midair, stabilizing themselves with mana as best they could.
