As they approached the towering black shadow, Dean Bruce finally saw it clearly. It looked like two pyramids pressed together at their bases—broad at the ends and narrow in the middle, with swirling sandstorms encircling it.
The distance was deceptive. Though it looked close, the towering structure reached the sky, and it took Dean Bruce and his group nearly an hour to arrive. Along the way, shadowy figures became visible, appearing and disappearing in the dusty landscape.
Standing at the base of the pyramid, only the seasoned guards from various factions seemed unaffected, having seen it many times before. But everyone else, whether powerful figures or young adventurers, stood in awe, overwhelmed by the grandness of the scene, exclamations echoing through the crowd.
Looking up at the pyramid, one saw nothing but endless yellow sand against the sky, making the people below feel as insignificant as ants.
