When the group passed through the door, except for the bustling streets the first thing that caught everyone's attention was a humongous floating castle at the end of the city.

The castle was made out of the unknown black stone and it had thousands of green and purple stones embedded in it, creating an array.

Morana didn't know what kind of array it was but it gave off a very majestic feeling.

"Welcome to the inner district." Said Acheron.

"Every survivor from the previous districts will eventually gather here, naturally you can also add new members to the team or leave your current team to go to join another.

At the end of this district, you will see the rest area. It's a hotel for participants like you.

This time you will not receive any hits or instructions. You only have yourself to rely on."

After Acheron finished his speech, he didn't give anyone time to react and instantly disappeared like he was never there.

"Great. So, what do we do now?" Asked Sophia.

"Let's go to the hotel Acheron said, we still need to find Leonard. We might as well go there and rest for a while before deciding anything else.

After getting some much-needed sleep the group meets up in Zoel's room to discuss their plan.

"So, what do you think of this place?" Asked Jake.

"It's massive and very abnormal." Said Sophia.

"Yeah, the streets are so normal that it's abnormal and that huge castle creeps me out." Lulu also didn't shy away from expressing his opinion.

"Same." Said Emir. 

At this moment Zoel noticed that Morana was awfully quiet, so he decided to ask.

"What do you think Rana?"

Others' attention also instantly fell on her.

Morana quietly looked at the group, observing her, studying their features.

It's been a while since she was able to see things normally and she had to admit it was nice to be back.

"Did you notice the weird array on the castle?" Her question got different reactions from everyone. While some were surprised, it doesn't seem like she was the only one who noticed.

"The array?" Asked Emir with confusion.

"Yeah. The purple and green stones embedded in it create a huge array. I don't know what it is for but I feel an immense amount of mana and majesty from it." Said Morana.

Her words managed to drift everyone in their thoughts. Only Luka, one of the people who noticed the array still looked at Morana and finally decided to ask his question aloud.

"What do you think the array is for?"

"I am not sure, but it isn't for defense or attack and it's very complicated." Said Morana while once again looking at the huge castle from the window of the room.

"Anyway, what should we do next?" Asked Sara.

"The only place that we can get answers is in that castle." Said Morana and others' expressions instantly became darker, but they didn't deny her statement.

"We need to gather more information." Said Ezra.

"Yeah, we can't go there blind." Said Lola.

In the end, they decided to gather as much information about the castle as they can, these few days, and only then will they be making any future plans.

Meanwhile in the majestic throne room of the dream castle sat 10 people. They were all looking at the various projections, but at some point, all their attention was drawn to Morana's bunch.

"What do you think about these guys?" Asked a female voice in a purple hooded cape that covered all her features and body.

Others were also sitting in a similar getup as her, but their body differences were quite obvious. At some point in their discussion, the door to the room opened and a devilish man with amber-colored long hair walked in.

"Acheron, you sure took your time." Said deep male voice with a large body shame as he turned towards Acheron.

"What can I do Lestat, this group sure is fun to be around." Said Acheron with the same bright smile.

"Ugh, at least wipe that disgusting smile off your face will you." Said Lestat as he shivered from looking at Acheron.

Hearing this Acheron's smile grew wider as he looked at the man with cold eyes.

"Oh. Is that so?"

The group couldn't help shivering as they looked at Acheron.

"So, what do you think of the group?" Asked the previous female voice in order to relieve the tension in the room.

And sure enough, it worked.

"They are a very interesting bunch, I must admit. Especially that kid caught my eye. Others are stronger, but they listen to him and respect him, not only that he was able to activate Hecate's blood and her blood was silver, not even divine beings have silver blood, she must be at least a demigod." Acheron's words instantly surprised others in the room.

"But the 12 godly continents have closed their realm entrance eons ago, even those stuck ups in the Divine realm can't enter it. How can a god's child appear here?"Asked another soft male voice.

"I don't know that Baeron, but the fact is right in front of our eyes, he might be our last chance." Said Acheron.

"You don't mean…"

"Yeah, that's exactly what I mean. We don't have much time left and he is our best option." Cut in Acheron with a serious tone that returned the room to its previous gloominess.

After some time Lestat spoke once again as he let out a heavy sigh.

"I can't believe we fell so low that we need the help of a 9-year-old kid."

"Tell me about it." Said Acheron wit a bitter smile.

And the room instantly became even more gloomy than before.
