"What is this place?"
Alex and the others walked out of the teleportation formation and looked around. They found themselves standing in the middle of a vast, ancient-looking hall. The ground beneath their feet was made of black stone. The air was thick with heat, and it felt as though the entire place was alive with the power of flames.
The ceiling was high and covered in faded murals that depicted powerful beings wielding fire and swords. Some of the paintings showed scenes of great wars and empires being turned to ash.
There was a massive stone statue in the center of the hall. It was over thirty feet tall and shaped like a man wearing ancient armor made of fire. In his hand, the man was holding a very thin sword. However, unlike the man's entire body, which was made of stone, the sword was real and made of Star Flame Ore.
The moment Alex's gaze fell on the sword, the system reacted, and an information panel appeared right in front of his eyes.
