around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire area had been completely annihilated, reduced to a massive crater by explosions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the result of unleashing one of the ultimate

the layers using only the Asura Divine Art was starting to become too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was currently on the fourth layer out of seven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up until now, I had followed optimal strategies to reach this point as quickly as possible, but my stamina was running out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had intentionally used only the Asura Divine Art to measure the results of my training with Heavenly Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even taking the shortest route, I was already exhausted at the fourth layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there was a reason for that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only were the endlessly resurrecting souls overwhelming, but the accumulated restrictions of each layer were steadily draining my stamina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I circulated mana and examined my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, I was under four restrictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reduced movement speed, blindness in my left eye, increased mana consumption, and status ailment—poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The poison, in particular, was troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Constant dizziness, nausea, and occasionally my body would lose strength without warning, leaving me open to attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed this was the limit of relying solely on the Asura Divine Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned my head toward something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a few steps away—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glowing portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staircase to the next layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked toward it, but no matter how much I advanced, the portal didn’t get any closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the fourth layer of Purgatory—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most difficult layer in terms of player experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no tricks allowed here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only way forward was to fight through the souls head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in the game, it required relentless grinding and endurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A nightmare—even for veteran

regenerating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seriously… can’t you even give me ten minutes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Academy gave ten minutes of rest after an hour of class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this dungeon ignored even that basic courtesy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight of the countless souls filling my vision was almost infuriating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My stamina was depleted, my body heavy as lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wounds from earlier still throbbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took a breath—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And released the Demonic Authority I had suppressed beneath the Infernal Flame of the Asura Divine Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This dungeon was among the hardest, even in the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Insisting on using only one technique in this state was reckless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As demonic power filled my body—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An overwhelming sense of liberation surged through me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My depleted stamina recovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My wounds healed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Authority of Mighty Strength pulsed through my muscles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like I had been reborn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weight crushing my body lessened, and the poison vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to before—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was on an entirely different level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I equipped armor and a sword through the 【Dark Relic】 and faced the souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bodies trembled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn’t even flinched at Infernal Flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So why now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t just my increased power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even before, the difference in strength was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only difference now—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demonic Authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took a step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stepped back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blinked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in the game, the souls never avoided me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that’s the case, I should’ve used Demonic Authority from the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With nothing blocking my path, reaching the staircase was easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking for some time—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once-distant portal finally drew near.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as my hand touched it—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【You have discovered the staircase to the next layer.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Proceed to the next layer?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Y \u002F N】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I

portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I quickly assessed the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something had emerged from the portal and struck me just before I pressed Y.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light erupted from the portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And someone stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…You’ve got to be kidding me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A serene, almost sacred face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Massive wings spread behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glowing ring above his

beam of light shot toward me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I twisted my head and barely avoided it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Attacking without explanation?
