The dust began to settle once more. Lukas stood poised amidst the rubble, not a hair out of place. His aura and enchantments faded now that the battle was done. A small, satisfied smile played across his lips.
The enchantments were better than expected. And it felt so good to him, fighting in this way.
He patiently waited for the next floor to start. But there was something strange: the timer wasn't starting.
Then, at the corner of the floor, he noticed something peculiar.
——
Approaching the object like any ordinary person, he examined it closely.
To his surprise, it turned out to be a purple crystal emitting a soft glow. Slowly, he noticed that some kind of energy was gradually forming within it, which explained the source of the light.
Lukas didn't touch or get closer, as he saw many curious situations end badly. The timer also wasn't starting for the next floor.
