"Im…possible…"
A dying primordial voice echoed across the vanishing battle dimension as countless mana particles filled the air, the death throes of a creature that once reigned supreme amongst many others, including those of other races.
It was a heartbroken cry of demise from Veidrax, who did not manage to drag Shye and Albus down with it as a sudden, unbelievably thick ice wall successfully defended the group of young adventurers from the detonation blast of its core.
As the battle dimension dissolved into countless mana orbs, another staircase was revealed, leading to a small concrete chamber containing nothing but an azure orb placed atop a small concrete podium.
One could even see the orb from the room they had entered before being engulfed by Veidrax's battle domain.
However, no one had noticed the staircase yet, as their eyes were fixed on a young woman of about twenty-eight years.
