Throne of Silent Blood
⚰️ Seventh Floor – Graveyard of the Fallen Gods
Heavy spiritual energy.
60 monsters: 14 Marquises, 32 Counts, 14 Barons.
Creatures: Living Statues, Corrupted Angels, Ethereal Beasts.
⚡ Eighth Floor – Canyon of Eternal Thunder
Floating platforms and black clouds.
60 monsters: 16 Marquises, 34 Counts, 10 Barons.
Creatures: Lightning Serpents, Thunder Titans, Rune Crows.
🧊 Ninth Floor – Prison of Frozen Time
Time slowed.
60 monsters: 18 Marquises, 36 Counts, 6 Barons.
Creatures: Eternity Wardens, Ghosts of the Past, Ice Werewolves.
Kiala absorbs temporal essence.
"Some beings didn't come to fight... they came to rule."
Tenth Floor
The portal opened like a tear in space.
Danilo stepped forward, eyes half-closed, sensing the absurd density of energy on the Tenth Floor – Abyss Mode.
Floating ruins pulsed with crimson energy. The sky trembled as if the very plane was on the verge of collapse.
— This place... — he muttered — is a graveyard built for kings.
He looked at the creatures defending the floor. This time, his prediction was confirmed — based on the monsters from floors 1 to 9, he suspected he would now face Duke-class enemies.
60 monsters awaited him, all bloodthirsty.
Anyone on Earth seeing this lineup would either drop dead of a heart attack or, at the very least, wet themselves.

Aura of Abyssal Fear
👑 The Dark Monarch appeared.
And the world… trembled.
He didn't just appear — he tore through space, emerging with eyes black as cursed abyss.
His aura exuded dominance mixed with cruelty — raw Chaotic-level pressure.
Kiala stepped back half a pace. Even she — linked to time, space, and shadow — felt her body shiver.
— He's different… — she whispered.
— As if he's... developing thoughts of his own...
Danilo crossed his arms.
He'd noticed it too — little by little, the Monarch seemed to be gaining independent will.
He wondered: if it gained true sentience, would it remain loyal?
After all, the Monarch was his strongest weapon — losing it would cost him at least 70% of his current power, even with Kiala beside him.
He shelved the thought for now, focusing on the battlefield.
— They'll learn... chaos is supreme.
🩸 The Battle Begins
Sixty monsters advanced.
An elite army.
Two Abyssal Dukes roared, surrounded by 20 Gladiator Marquises and 38 Void Reaper Counts.
And then…
The Monarch moved.
☠️ THE MASSACRE
1st Second:
A black blade appeared in the Monarch's hand.
Shadow Blade
-11,080
-11,080
-11,080
Three Counts exploded into black mist before even realizing they'd been struck.
3rd Second:
A Marquis raised his sword—
-11,080
A claw pierced his chest from behind, hurling his body like a sack of bones.
He was dead before he hit the ground.
6th Second:
The Monarch raised a hand — dozens of shadow chains erupted from the ground like spears.
Eleven Reapers were impaled and trapped.
With bare fists, he punched them down — one per blow.
10th Second:
Kroval, the Butcher Duke, tried to roar.
The Monarch blinked above him, shadow blade spinning, and in one clean sweep—
-11,080
—sliced his arm, torso, and head.
Three cuts in one.
Kroval's soul tried to flee.
The Monarch devoured it whole.
Danilo grinned.
— Not even worth helping.
💀 Embodiment of Terror
The Gladiators recoiled.
Marquis-class monsters, bred for war — trembling.
The second Duke, Serath, cast Void Explosion — an attack capable of wiping armies.
The Monarch absorbed it with his bare chest, continued walking — smoking — and chuckled.
— That attack… was supposed to hurt? Danilo thought.
The Monarch vanished — then reappeared, gripping Serath's neck.
Terror filled the Duke's eyes.
The Monarch squeezed, slowly and violently crushing his head.
With a roar, he shattered Serath's body and soul — leaving only ashes.
🧨 Total Collapse
The remaining monsters tried to flee.
But the Monarch's Abyssal Aura hovered over the field like a living tide.
Each monster's step slowed, as if time itself surrendered.
And one by one… they were slaughtered.
The Gladiator who lasted longest was ripped into four pieces and hurled at the floating pillars.
The Reapers tried to vanish—
But chaos sees all.
The echoes of the shadow blade whispered death into every creature's ears.
In under 2 minutes, it was all over.
Kiala stood speechless.
Danilo… sighed.
— That monster… is still my subordinate, right?

〚Challengers Danilo Chicana and Kiala Chicana have cleared the Tenth Floor of Abyss Mode. Time: 1 minute and 47 seconds〛
🏆 Treasure and Silence
The battlefield grew silent.
The air still reeked of blood and ash.
The ruins trembled — and two treasure chests rose from the ground:
One as black as the abyss (Danilo was used to that),
And one rainbow-colored — one he had missed.
He smiled as soon as he saw the rainbow one.
Still, he walked slowly toward the abyssal chest.
And opened it.
