Even with the help of the Divine Artifact, the players' journey was exceptionally difficult.
They emerged from the Dark Forest, traversed the poisonous marshlands of the Deathlands, crossed the towering Sky Tower and, following a long staircase, arrived at their final destination, the territory of the Demon King.
Before their eyes, black clouds pressed down upon the pitch-black Demon King Castle, a colossal fort that occupied a land with a radius of twenty kilometers, making it look extraordinarily vast.
The architecture of Demon King Castle was intricate and complex, resembling a pile of buildings manufactured by inferior AI, devoid of any aesthetic sense and filled instead with eeriness and unease.
A large number of demons stood like statues here; these creatures appeared to be animals, but they were not real animals, rather derivatives of the oddities found in this place.
