Even though the respawning monsters grew stronger, their numbers were far fewer than before. The corridors of the dimensional rift, once filled with fierce roars and the shifting of mist, now felt much quieter and more silent. Only the occasional faint heavy footsteps or the slow shifting of purple mist, like the breathing of a living creature, could be heard. Sylvia, Stacia, and Alicia continued forward with steady steps. Their battles were now more measured, more efficient, and far calmer.
Sylvia's Chains of Abyss moved with sharper and more controlled motions. The pitch-black chains are no longer slaughtered brutally like on the first day. Every thrust and coil was now executed with high precision, draining the monsters' vitality in mere seconds. Each attack carried far greater weight after her drastic level increases. The chains moved like extensions of Sylvia's will itself cold, fast, and deadly.
