Chapter 29: The Lady In Black, Part Fourteen

{Zenith}

Dungeon: Ice Prison

Level 20 - Level 25

Players: 2/4

The air was chill and filled with an eerie silence that seemed to amplify every sound they made.

Zenith's armor clinked softly with each step, her breath forming misty clouds in the frozen air.

"This dungeon is no joke," Zenith remarked, her voice carrying a note of warning as she glanced back at Emi trailing behind her. "You read the level description, right? 20 to 25. Most things here can probably kill you in one hit." 

Emi nodded, her expression a mix of apprehension and determination.

"I'll do my best," she replied. 

Her voice lacked the bravado she had shown earlier. Maybe the actual weight of the challenges traveling with Zenith had in store was beginning to sink in. 

As they rounded a corner, the echoing sound of metal against ice reached their ears, heralding the presence of their first adversaries.
