The tenth gate was similar to the gates from the first to the ninth… but it was taller and larger in size.
Near it stood gate number 11. It was closed… and it had a different color and shape.
At that moment, Soman understood that the first ten stages were alike, and perhaps stages 11 to 20 were alike as well.
He smiled… but worry was present. He had never faced a commander-type monster before, and he feared his strength might not be enough.
He remembered the Deception Beast's speech about true death in this dimension… yet he was even more determined.
What strengthened his resolve… were his glances toward the battle screens and notifications… three of the four other leaders had already passed the tenth stage.
"Am I weaker than them? Damn it," he cursed, then took a deep breath.
After making sure his combat accumulation was complete… he decided to enter.
Step after step… he entered the massive gate.
The world changed again.
