Ian and the members arrived in front of the entrance to the Labyrinth.
Standing before the entrance, unlike last time, Ian pulled out an item he had prepared in advance.
A stone fragment as pitch black as if darkness itself had been condensed.
It was an item called [Abyssal Shard] obtained from the boss, the Banshee, when they cleared the Labyrinth last time.
It was an entry material used before entering the Labyrinth to allow entry into a depth with a higher difficulty level.
As Ian reached out holding it, darkness flickered as if reacting to it. The fragment in Ian's hand melted away in an instant.
The pitch-black darkness visible inside the Labyrinth's entrance. It was a darkness so black it couldn't get any darker, yet it felt as if its depth had grown even deeper.
'Let's head in now.'
When Ian, having finished the preparations, looked back, everyone nodded with tensed expressions.
Following behind Ian, everyone slowly moved their steps into the Labyrinth.
