Cain stood before the colossal gate, his reflection distorted on its glossy, crimson surface. He could feel the immense power radiating from it, a palpable energy that resonated with his blood. Carefully, he reached out and touched it.
Immediately, a powerful voice echoed across the dimension. "Congratulations on finishing the Molten Crucible. Wait until the deadline is completed for the gate to the Sanguine Area to open. The ranking will also be displayed at that time, and the reward will be granted."
Cain's eyes narrowed as he heard the Demon King speak about a reward, desire igniting within his gaze. For someone powerful enough to create this realm, even one of his trinkets would be a massive treasure for Cain. However, he did not lose focus. The Molten Crucible was already behind him, and he doubted that flying around the fourth level would improve his grade.
