Without waiting longer, Kael turned toward the newly opened gate.
A system screen appeared before him as he stepped forward.
[level 54: Demon General of Deception & Fear]
The moment he crossed the threshold, the gate slammed shut behind him.
Silence swallowed him whole.
As Kael left for the next dungeon, Yumi and the saber girl also followed him.
"Demon of…Fear and deception," he said to himself.
The moment Kael crossed fully into Level 54, the dungeon changed its nature.
There was no explosion.
No overwhelming pressure like before.
Instead—there was quiet.
The stone floor beneath Kael's boots was smooth, polished like black glass, reflecting his figure faintly.
The walls stretched upward into darkness, their edges blurred, as if the dungeon itself refused to hold a definite shape. There were no torches. No runes. No veins of mana.
"This feels weird"
Kael slowed his steps. His breath echoed once… twice… then stopped echoing altogether.
