...…
Boom!
A deafening rumble suddenly shook the entire mountain, pulling Shin out of his thoughts.
His eyes immediately turned toward the source of the disturbance.
The colossal gate.
The enormous chains wrapped around its ancient frame had begun retracting one after another, producing metallic groans that echoed throughout the independent realm. Every movement carried an indescribable pressure, as though the very laws of the world were acknowledging the end of an ancient era.
The gigantic gate was finally closing.
*Ding*
A familiar system notification immediately appeared before Shin.
System: The Ancient Elemental Being of Darkness has successfully purified itself and is now returning to its eternal slumber.
System: Until the day ordained by fate arrives, the Ancient Elemental Being shall not awaken again.
...
Shin quietly watched as the immense gate slowly sealed itself.
