The two of them instantly put on a gas mask the moment they entered the core of the dungeon. Both Rui and the Divine Doctor had independently arrived at the conclusion that gaseous mental drugs were probably one of the ways that the dungeon maintained the trance of its creatures.

They had also deduced that it most likely was a biological apparatus at the core of the dungeons since none of the three of them had ever experienced any forceful trancing attempts. This was enough evidence that core was most likely connected to how the dungeon maintained the trance of its people.

Amidst the dark region, at the core of the dungeon, was a light at its very center that drew their attention. "That must be it!" Kane exclaimed as he cautiously grabbed the Divine Doctor and ran towards it.

He ran.

And ran.

And ran.

He even got closer.

Yet, he never reached.

The closer he got, the slower he moved.

It was almost paradoxical, yet it was real.

For some inexplicable reason, he made less and less progress the closer he got to the dungeon. "What is this?!" He groaned with effort as he tried making more progress to the very epicenter of the dungeon core. "Why can't I reach?!"

"Length contraction." The Divine Doctor's eyes lit up with interest. Length contraction, also known as Lorentz' Contraction, was a phenomenon in Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity that was visibly measurable when one moved at speeds close to the speed of light. The object moving at such speeds experienced a visible shortening in length across its entire body in the direction that it was moving.

Yet it appeared that, whatever the source of the manifold was, it was able to actively cause length contraction.

RUMBLE!!!

The battle between Rui and the chimera raged on.

"What does that mean?!" Kane grew desperate with each passing moment. Each second was priceless in this circumstance.
