Chapter 279: Layer 2

The flight of stairs consisted of 10 steps, followed by a platform and another ten steps in the opposite direction. There were four such loops, with the fifth only having 10 steps.

Jyorta had turned around on the platform after the fourth loop when he was assaulted by intense heat. The heat was unbearable, hurting his eyes in a matter of seconds. Jyorta made some changes to his barrier, shielding himself from the heat.

He noted an increase in his psychic energy expenditure, sighing in helplessness. There were only 10 steps to the second layer. Though, sand covered the area after four steps, filling up the region. The moment Jyorta landed on the fourth step and had just stepped on the sands with his right leg, his instincts warned him. He instantly retracted his foot.
