It was a foreboding sight—a darkness that seemed to swallow existence itself.
This place was where the Tyrant had awaited their arrival.
'Yet within shadows lies only darkness.'
It existed down there, within the very core of the abyss.

'So tired... can't go on...'
But before that, to move forward, he needed to pass the penultimate phase.
