Chapter 66
The First Law of a Secret Realm.
Once inside, panic is death.
The interior of a secret realm is wholly severed from the outside world. The moment you cross the threshold, nothing from the outside can be trusted. A snow-covered mountain may suddenly shift into a searing inferno where the heat alone could boil a man alive. A narrow ridge may vanish into fog so thick you can’t see your own hand—until you’re already tumbling off a cliff.
Seol Unwi—no, Nameless—stepped across the threshold.
The first thing he checked was the Cave Heaven Mirror strapped to his wrist.
Blue.
That meant the surrounding energies were beginning to fluctuate—still stable for now, but verging on change. Without hesitation, Nameless surveyed the terrain.
The air was oppressive, and behind him and on both sides loomed sheer walls. Embedded in the stone were rocks that shimmered faintly with a violet sheen.
Nameless narrowed his eyes. For a sealed-off area, it was unnaturally bright. The light was trickling from those strange rocks—thin, nearly imperceptible threads of radiance leaking into the air.
“Demon-Eye Stone, is it...”
His voice was grave.
He’d expected this secret realm to be unusual, but Demon-Eye Stones—and of this caliber? That was beyond what even he had anticipated.
