Of course, the title of the lowest still officially belonged to Skyblade, their Shield Tank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His recent trip to the Underworld had cost him too much time. Though he still held the highest level, his gear had completely fallen behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others had been grinding non-stop, leveling up and farming loot, while he was still decked out in Starter Zone gear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that their weapons had caught up to his enhancements, his damage had plummeted in comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for his Unique Abilities, he might've been dead weight in the squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, the extra attribute points and growth boost kept him useful, at least as a frontline tank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skyblade, on the other hand, had fully embraced his role as the designated spectator and errand boy. His main job? Landing interrupts with his Heavy Strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they moved forward, they ran into a few more Flame Draconians blocking the path. This time, it was effortless. Not even a full minute, and the creatures were wiped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this rate, they could easily grind Draconians for XP and loot. But Ethan had a different plan. He led them north, pressing onward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they neared the base of the Iron Mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, they could see a massive Rotating Bridge, cast entirely from molten iron and forged into a spiraling structure. It led directly to an enormous iron gate, towering so high that it reached nearly halfway up the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sheer size of the double-doored gate was overwhelming, its ancient craftsmanship exuding both power and elegance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is our destination,\" Ethan informed the group. \"Every monster inside starts at level 40.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before stepping forward, he gave them a quick rundown of the Iron Mountains' history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten thousand years ago, a catastrophic collision between Azure and Terra reshaped the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mountains trembled. Vegetation withered. Flames devoured the earth, leaving only ashes in their wake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive volcano erupted, carving the landscape into what they now knew as the Iron Mountains, a volatile range stretching from the Scorched Plains in the south to Fire Canyon in the north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And right in front of them stood the volcano's mouth, the Gate of the Iron Mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gate had been forged by the Dwarves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire mountain range had once been a Dwarven stronghold, with vast underground halls carved into the stone. But over time, the Dwarves lost control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their downfall?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like reckless miners, they dug deeper and deeper, until they unknowingly tunneled straight into another realm. From that breach, countless nightmarish creatures poured into their world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another great war erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only through a desperate alliance between the survivors of Terra and the natives of Azure were they able to push the invaders back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dwarves, realizing their mistake, swore an oath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, they remained in the depths of the Iron Mountains, acting as eternal wardens, guarding the gates to those otherworldly rifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That war… the Winter Queen fought in it,\" Ethan said, glancing at Lyla. \"She was the original owner of your bow… and your pet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lyla's eyes widened. \"How do you know all this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan smirked. \"Did you forget? I told you before—I'm…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He trailed off, knowing Lyla would understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others, meanwhile, were too caught up in the story to question him further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let's move,\" Ethan said, waving them forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They crossed the Rotating Bridge, stepping into the shadow of the colossal gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they neared the Gate of the Iron Mountains, they noticed something surprising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive iron doors weren't actually closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A narrow gap had been left open, though from a distance, the sheer size of the doors created an optical illusion that made it seem fully shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping through the opening, they were immediately hit by a wave of scorching heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, the Iron Mountains were completely hollowed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron-forged pathways spiraled upward along the inner walls, crisscrossing through the vast cavern like veins of molten steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group approached the edge and looked down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousands of meters below, a sea of bubbling magma churned, glowing with an ominous red hue. Looking up, the sky was nothing more than a distant pinprick, a well-like opening at the peak of the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their path, however, wound both upward and downward, following the spiraling structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the cavern, suspended above the lava, was a massive floating platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thick iron chains, seven or eight of them, each as thick as a house, anchored the platform to the mountain walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether the platform itself was naturally levitating or entirely supported by these chains remained a mystery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan pointed toward it. \"That's our destination.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How the hell do we get over there?\" Skyblade asked, frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Simple. We walk the chains,\" Ethan replied, leading them toward the nearest one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now did the team realize the sheer scale of the chains, each was at least twenty meters in diameter. More than wide enough for them to cross without issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they reached the platform, everyone took a moment to look around. The sheer craftsmanship of the Dwarven engineering was astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This thing is massive,\" Skyblade muttered in awe. \"How the hell did they even build this? How much manpower would it take?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is nothing,\" Ethan said with a smirk. \"Once you guys level up and make it to Central Dominion, then you'll see something truly spectacular.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How spectacular?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You'll find out when you get there,\" Ethan teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, are you sure you're not an insider at Aeon?\" Meatball asked curiously. \"You seem to know way too much about this game.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh… I was involved in development at some point,\" Ethan replied vaguely, realizing he had already said too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, Ethereal's official website had barely revealed anything about the game's deeper lore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't exactly tell them he was a regressed player who had already lived through this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Lyla knew the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And while she had said she believed him, Ethan couldn't be sure if she actually did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, thinking back to the jade pendant incident, she hadn't seemed particularly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, Ethan found himself unable to fully read her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then there was her conversation with Celeste Hawthorne, where she had deliberately emphasized that her surname was also Silverwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ethan pondered this, another thought struck him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right, Celeste had told Lyla to update him about the Ninth Division. That had been days ago, and neither of them had brought it up since.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it was time to ask her about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as that thought settled, a voice suddenly rang inside his head, an old, gruff voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Ninth Division already contacted you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been walking at the front, leading the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skyblade, who had been busy admiring the surroundings, hadn't noticed and walked straight into him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss? We stopping here?\" Skyblade asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, just checking our bearings,\" Ethan said quickly, glancing around as if surveying the area before continuing forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he had already recognized the voice in his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Morzan, that old geezer.\u003C\u002Fp>",1191,"2026-06-02T11:41:20.825Z",1,"novelbin.me","4343d30abde4e63ebd45db7324d4c0770edd3b52ce444ab7475846fe65048436","level-1-to-infinity-my-bloodline-is-the-ultimate-chapter-91","level-1-to-infinity-my-bloodline-is-the-ultimate-chapter-89",946,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flevel-1-to-infinity-my-bloodline-is-the-ultimate-cover.jpg"]
