Chapter 69: The Lore Eater
Hannah looked up at the newest notifications to appear.
<You’ve climbed up the steps to the Devouring Librarian Boss Arena. There is no escape now! Prepare to begin the boss battle!>
<You’re in the presence of the Honored Outsider while leading a boss battle! Would you like to play thematic music?>
“Yes, please.” Hannah didn’t care too much about the orchestral soundtrack.
Zarian would like it, at the very least.
She, however, was frankly in shock.
After having a breezy walk through the library maze, hearing distant monsters roaming, some of which they hadn’t fought before, Hannah was prepared to face the worst. The boss of the Devouring Librarian Dungeon was horrifying, certainly the worst thing she’d ever seen.
That wasn’t the most shocking part. The design of the boss arena was a great equalizer to the challenge, which surprised Hannah the most.
Still, she couldn’t only focus on the arena’s hidden mechanisms. The entire arena was an elevated stage that overlooked the maze. True to the recent notifications, there was no going back down the stairs and reentering the maze, even if Hannah would like more time for preparation.
