Chapter 86: Final Fate Trial 1
"You may walk into a different realm, but time flows the same. A decade here is a decade there," Blind said as they stood before the final trial portal, formed from dimensional relics, its overwhelmingly white and blue glow looming over Daylan.
"You can use this portal on your return, depending on how far your journey takes you." His voice turned cold and grim. "There are no rules. Use any trick you’ve got to defeat it... we’ll be waiting."
Daylan gave him a firm nod before turning to the portal. He had everything—food, healing potions, and all the essential supplies tucked away in his inventory. Yet, fear still crept in. His heart raced like never before, and his body refused to move naturally.
He clenched his trembling fists and stepped through the portal. The moment his foot touched solid ground, a freezing wind swept against his skin, sending a shiver through his body as goosebumps surged across him.
His eyes widened as he looked up, head turning slowly. The cold was unlike anything he had ever felt—deep, biting. Despite being fully clothed, his body trembled uncontrollably. His teeth chattered, clashing again and again as he struggled to keep his mouth shut.
Before his eyes stood a breathtaking, ethereal ice-dark dungeon—an awe-inspiring natural wonder sculpted entirely from ice and rock.
Towering icicles hung like frozen daggers from the dungeon’s ceiling, while smooth sheets of ice lined the walls, glistening with a pale blue luminescence.
At the center, melted drops from the icicles formed a small stream, flowing gently along a narrow path.
In an instant, the system snapped him out of his daze.
