The gate to Floor 50 opened with a deep rumble. Inside was an enormous, glowing arena surrounded by ancient runes.Lior's heartbeat quickened.
"This place… feels alive," Aqua whispered.
As they stepped inside, the massive gate closed behind them.[Dungeon Boss Chamber Locked.]
Before them stood the enemy — a colossal Chimera, its form shifting between lion, serpent, and eagle, radiating mana at Level 745. Around it stood three elemental generals, each guarding the beast like sentinels.
"Three sub-bosses with the main boss…? That's insane," Ignis muttered.
Lior's eyes narrowed. "We've come too far to turn back."
The battle exploded.Ignis and Lior clashed with the Chimera directly, their attacks lighting up the cavern. Sylph and Terra fought the generals while Aqua summoned waves of healing rain.
Fire clashed with venom.Wind tore through lightning.Earth shattered under the roar of chaos.
Hours passed — every hit pushing them closer to collapse.
Finally, with perfect coordination, Terra pinned the Chimera down while Ignis unleashed a Phoenix Spiral, vaporizing its core. The dungeon trembled as the beast disintegrated into ash.

Lior collapsed, panting heavily. He scrolled through the notifications, eyes widening.
"Teleportation… Shadow… Light…"
But there was no description.
"What… are these?" he whispered.
Before he could analyze further, fatigue overwhelmed him. He dismissed his spirits back into the void to recover faster.
Hours later, when he summoned them again — the air twisted.
"Come forth—!"
Light and shadow erupted around him.
Alongside Aqua, Ignis, Terra, and Sylph stood two new figures — one cloaked in pitch-black flame, the other in pure, radiant light.
Everyone froze.
Even the dungeon walls trembled.
