Gravis and Mortis leisurely walked along the hallway for a while, but eventually, Mortis got impatient and started teleporting.

Gravis groaned and followed Mortis.

However, surprisingly, they only needed a single teleportation to reach the end of the hallway.

It wasn't as far as they had imagined it to be.

By now, the hallway had become narrow again, and the two of them fell into nostalgia.

The narrow hallway and the gate in front of them reminded them of the Heaven's Trial in the lower world.

"Do you think Orthar only has one level for us, or are there multiple again?" Gravis asked.

"Probably as many as he thinks is optimal to make us more powerful. He wants us to become powerful, and we are in his domain now," Mortis answered.

"So, the Cosmos isn't his domain?" Gravis asked.

"You know what I meant," Mortis answered.

"Sure," Gravis answered.

Then, he took a deep breath and readied himself.

"Well, here we go," Gravis said as he pushed open the gate.

The gate wasn't nearly as heavy as the front gate, and it wasn't hard for Gravis to push it open.

When the gate fully opened, Gravis looked at the room behind it.

It was rather small.

It just looked like a small burial chamber, about ten meters wide. There were no lamps or torches in the room, but the room was well lit, thanks to Mortis.

"So, I guess we don't have to fight in this one, which means that there are more levels, right?" Gravis asked.

"Correct," Orthar said from the middle of the room.

Surprisingly, Orthar had been in the middle of the room this entire time, and Gravis had spotted him.

"So, how many are there?" Gravis asked as he and Mortis entered the room.

BANG!
