After narrowly evading the sudden lightning strike from above, Ethan wasted no time and sprinted towards the upper floor of the inn.
He was keenly aware that the enigmatic figure in black was likely upstairs.
Upon reaching the inn's second floor, Ethan caught a fleeting glimpse of the shadowy figure disappearing towards the end of the hallway, near a window.
Determined not to let their quarry escape, Ethan swiftly traversed the corridor within the dream, finding himself outside the inn in the midst of a raging snowstorm.
Even within the dream, the blizzard's power was palpable.
Ethan sensed his mental state deteriorating rapidly due to the dream's adverse conditions.
Nevertheless, he remained undeterred, relying on the power of the Primordial Light.
It allowed him to maintain his sanity within the dream and gradually restore his optimal condition.
Ethan embarked on the task of tracking down the elusive figure in black.
