Stark extended his hand, and a faint shimmer appeared in front of the gate.
A panel blinked into existence, glowing with a lock symbol.
[You need the "City Underground Maze Key" to enter this zone.]
If a player didn't have the required key, then no matter how strong they were, the gate would stay sealed forever.
This wasn't the kind of place you could brute force your way into.
But Stark had the key!
Fwish! Ding!
["City Underground Maze Key" detected, do you wish to use it?]
[Yes] [No]
"Yes."
Ding!
A holographic key materialized in front of him, golden and transparent.
It rotated slowly before sliding itself into the lock that hovered over the panel.
Click!
The sound echoed sharply.
The lock turned on its own, and in the next moment the entire panel shattered like glass.
The massive stone gate before him shuddered, glowing with faint runes that spread across its surface like fire.
Dust fell, cracks lit up, and then—
Creak!
The gate began to open.
