/About 40 minutes later…/
/Tremble… Dust…/
[DING]
[The Third Floor Dweller has been defeated and an Ancient Evil has been purged!]
[The Ritual grows stabler, the remaining restrictions grow stronger]
[It's Vitality is absorbed by the Ritual, strengthening all remaining restrictions]
[The Fourth Floor's Restrictions grows stronger]
[The Fifth Floor's Restrictions grows stronger]
/Cling… Clang…/
"Huff…"
'It's time.'
Back in the Fifth Floor, Dale stood calmly in place, his eyes closed as he focused on his inner body.
He had been waiting for this moment, his last chance to break free.
For the last forty minutes, he gathered power and improved his methods, waiting for this inevitable time.
However, because of this, the momentum of his enemies grew stronger, as with each enemy they took down, the weaker the next one became.
