Elysia stood before the imposing Nightmare Gate, her figure casting a silhouette against the digital glow of the virtual arena.

The hushed murmurs among the students intensified as the representatives from various universities leaned in, their interest piqued by her audacious choice.

A representative from a renowned combat academy, with a discerning look, whispered to his colleague, "Is she serious about entering the Nightmare Gate? It's a risky move, even for someone with her reputation."

His colleague, equally intrigued, responded, "Elysia is known for her unpredictability. Maybe she has a plan. Let's see what she's capable of."

The atmosphere crackled with anticipation as Elysia, with an air of confidence, stepped into the Nightmare Gate. The virtual screens displayed the intricate details of the ominous environment inside, shrouded in darkness and teeming with formidable adversaries.

The students observed in hushed silence, uncertain of what awaited Elysia in the treacherous depths of the Nightmare Dungeon.

"I can't believe she's attempting the Nightmare Gate. It's unheard of in the University Exams!"

"If anyone can pull it off, it's Elysia. She's got a mysterious aura around her."

"Do you think she's overestimating herself? The Nightmare Dungeon is no joke."

The representatives, though intrigued, maintained a composed demeanor, masking their thoughts behind stoic expressions. Elysia's decision had injected an unexpected twist into the proceedings, challenging the conventional expectations of the University Exams.

As Elysia delved deeper into the Nightmare Dungeon, the virtual screens projected glimpses of her encounters—swift and lethal strikes, a dance of shadows, and the ethereal glow of her Death's Scythe illuminating the darkness. Each moment intensified the fascination and speculation among the onlookers.

The representatives engaged in discreet discussions, analyzing the implications of Elysia's daring choice. One remarked, "If she succeeds, it'll be a testament to her unparalleled skill. But failure in a Nightmare Dungeon can be unforgiving."

With a fluid grace, Elysia unsheathed her Death's Scythe, its blade gleaming with an ethereal light. As the first wave of nightmarish creatures lunged towards her, she executed a series of precise strikes, each movement a testament to her honed combat skills. The air resonated with the swish of the Scythe as she dispatched the creatures with lethal efficiency.

The virtual screens relayed the unfolding spectacle to the audience outside the Gate. Whispers and gasps punctuated the air as the students and representatives watched Elysia's mesmerizing dance of death.

"Did you see that move? It's like she's dancing through the Nightmare creatures!"

"I've never seen someone handle a Scythe with such finesse. Elysia is on another level."

"That skill—she's not just fighting; she's performing a lethal art."

Elysia's journey continued, each encounter revealing new layers of her combat prowess. The Nightmare Dungeon threw increasingly formidable challenges her way, testing her agility, precision, and strategic thinking.

The blade carved through the chaotic energies, each stroke a calculated response to the aberrant onslaught. The air crackled with the clash of virtual forces—a harmonious collision of skill and supernatural might.

The Nightmare Aberration, a manifestation of the Gate's darkest nightmares, roared with spectral fury. It conjured illusions, phantasmal projections that sought to disorient Elysia. Yet, her senses, honed through countless battles, proved unyielding. With a calculated precision, she discerned reality from illusion, her Scythe cutting through the ephemeral deceptions.
