On the Evernight Ascension Stairway, Ace continued climbing.
Fifty-one. Fifty-two. Fifty-three...
His footsteps stayed steady, and although the pressure had already reached a level that could crush an ordinary Abyssal Guardian, Ace's expression didn't change.
The only difference was that his eyes grew increasingly profound, as he was no longer merely climbing but studying.
Every step of the Stairway contained a different pressure, and although most people would only feel the terrifying weight descending upon their bodies and souls, Ace could vaguely sense something deeper hidden within it.
'Just who could've created this stairway? Different types of laws and concepts are hidden at every step, and even I can't detect all of them except for some I'm already familiar with. Especially the peculiar physical pressure, soul pressure, and will...' His eyes flickered. 'It's almost like they're not independent.'
