The deeper Ethan traveled into the northern territory, the colder the atmosphere became.
The forest path gradually transformed into dark stone roads covered in cracks and dried bloodstains. Massive pillars stood along the path like remnants of an ancient kingdom.
At the end of the road, Ethan finally saw it.
A gigantic black castle stood atop a rocky cliff, surrounded by thick crimson fog.
The structure looked ancient and rotten, yet an overwhelming pressure radiated from within.
This was the Boss Castle. The gateway leading toward Floor 52.
Ethan slowly stepped forward, his hand resting on the handle of Bloodblade Ashura.
The moment he entered through the massive gates, the doors behind him slammed shut violently.
BOOM!
The sound echoed throughout the castle hall. Ethan narrowed his eyes.
The entire room was enormous, resembling a ruined throne chamber. Broken statues littered the surroundings while countless skeletons covered the floor.
Then—
HISSSSS!!
