Chapter 783: The Blockade
As the massive Beast of Burden rumbled across the open expanse, carving a path beside the wide river, Northern soared overhead, scanning the terrain for potential dangers.
He wasn't disappointed. As he had suspected, threats lurked in every direction. However, none of them seemed eager to make the first move. The Beast of Burden was in constant motion, and the predators watching from the shadows did not appear to be in a hurry to rend their flesh.
The immediate danger had already been dealt with-a Catastrophic Maelstrom, an entity so massive it could rival mountains, had lumbered toward them. Half of its grotesque form was encased in writhing tentacles, which propelled it forward with unnatural speed.
It hadn't posed much of a challenge.
With a brief exchange of strikes, and using Echo sparingly, Northern had erased the creature into nothingness.
More good news: his summons had finally cleared the twentieth floor guardian and retreated to the Limitless Void.
The battle had taken a heavy toll, especially on the humans. Continuing further would have been suicide-or so Bairan had described it.
Only the twentieth floor, yet all of his Void summons had been left utterly drained.
The realization of the dungeon's true depth and power was beginning to dawn on Northern. More than ever, he wanted to uncover its secrets.
But despite combing through the vast archives during his brief stay at the library, he had found nothing on its origins.
The only relevant information was tied to the history of the academy itself-the vision of Milhwa, who had sought to create a safe haven for Drifters, a sanctuary where they could cultivate their strength and push the limits of their potential through unity and cooperation. Milhwa had involved two of his friends in the endeavor. But history was silent on one of them -his records had been erased. The only name that remained was Professor Heimburger.
