A surge of overwhelming aura emanated from the cave.
"Mr. Smith has emerged from seclusion!" Six elite warriors, emotional and thrilled, looked towards the cave's entrance.
Moments later, a golden glow flashed from the shadowy depths, and a figure hovered in the air just outside the cave.
The six warriors lifted their heads and looked up with utmost reverence at the floating figure, shouting in unison, "Congratulations, Lord Smith, on reaching Level 500!"
Smith stood with his hands behind his back, glanced at the six warriors below him, and said with a smile, "You've all worked hard during this period."
"Serving Vice Lord is our honor," the six warriors bowed simultaneously.
