The crowd surged towards Wolf's Den, leaving Mike standing there by himself. He'd just passed on a chance to go to the Heavenly Realm, and now he was stuck buying burgers for this massive group!
Honestly, thinking back on his encounter in that weird void space, Mike couldn't help but feel a shiver down his spine. That being who claimed to have created the Tower of Truth, the one from the Heavenly Realm, sounded all casual and whatnot.
But something about it felt off. Every word was carefully chosen to nudge Mike forward, to tempt him into making a choice.
Mike was able to resist the other party's inducements partly because he was incredibly determined. On the other hand, Mike didn't hesitate to use the materials he had prepared, forcibly powering the [Eye of Truth] with them. This action rendered the opponent's deception ineffective.
