Axel frowned briefly, then continued deeper, eager to see what this was all about.
As he continued deeper, there was a slight change in temperature once more.
Perhaps it was due to the depths, but as he entered deeper into the place, it grew colder, and the air grew thicker and denser.
Finally, Axel couldn't help widening his eyes upon seeing what was going on there.
At some point in time, the place had been turned into a battle arena by the awakened beasts.
Although he knew that awakened beasts possessed intelligence, he didn't expect it to be to this extent.
Nevertheless, he stared intently at the arena.
Ahead was what seemed to be the judges of the battles, and located atop were countless glowing greenish-yellow crystals that radiated a unique light.
The cheers erupted violently with all sorts of roars and animal sounds, attracting Axel's gaze below, and he noticed to his astonishment that two people had stepped into the arena.
