Bab 2005: Core

Kane exhaled deeply as he soothed his nerves.

Operation Prisonbreak was on the cusp of commencement, and while his role was not as absurdly difficult as Rui's, it was equally necessary. The Divine Doctor was unable to exercise his mind manipulation on the beasts due to the dungeon already doing so. Thus, he was stripped of the many offensive options that he had come prepared with.

Without Kane, he would never be able to reach the core of the dungeon alive. Kane would not only have to protect him to the core, but he would also have to aid the man in incapacitating whatever monstrosity was the source of the manifold.

Kane would be lying if he felt super confident in doing the latter. The manifold was a godlike feat far beyond anything he could ever imagine. Any lifeform that was capable of conjuring and maintaining it was probably an extraordinarily powerful creature.
