Rest time was over.
The party emerged from the Spiral of Testimony, breathless and awed, their rest time notwithstanding.
The final tick of Professor Elyria's clock still echoed in their minds. But what greeted them now was silence; deafening, suffocating silence.
As soon as the players logged back into their Avatars, they passed through the next veil and stepped into the chamber for Phase 5 of the SSS-Rank dungeon.
DING!
[Unlock: Phase 5 – Chamber of the Bell!]
Bzzz!
They disappeared and stepped into a hall, a gravity-defying cathedral of inverted stone and sky.
Before them loomed a vast, cathedral-like hall of black marble and bone-white spires. The Chamber of the Bell was not illuminated by flame or crystal, but by the glow of memory itself.
Faint images flickered in the air like ghostly projections; forgotten lives, regrets, lost moments, each suspended in time like dust in moonlight.
