Sam stepped out of the second sub-layer, completely unaware of the chaos his actions had caused in the world outside.
After all, he had just slain the [Black Sun].
Not a regular monster. Not a field boss. But the actual mechanic of the entire second layer.
It was the being that sustained the corruption, empowered the enemies, and warped the [Ruined City].
Now it was gone.
And Sam didn't even realize what that meant.
He reappeared quietly in the middle of the plains of the first [Outer Ring], the faint breeze brushing against his clothes as he looked around.
'Good… I'm back.' He stretched slightly, rolling his shoulders with a long breath.
The strain from his battle was still lingering in his body. But it was over. For now.
'If I want to get to the third layer…' He turned to glance far off in the distance, toward the vague outline of what he assumed was the second [Outer Ring]. 'I'll have to go much further.'
But that wasn't a priority right now.
