The group composition was a bit strange.

Luciel, Lucifer, and the other two whom Damien didn't recognize were around his level, while Commander Huo and Alucard were already at the Supreme level, making one wonder why they were traveling together.

It was obvious Commander Huo and Alucard were caretakers for the rest, but the question was, "Why?"

All of them were of different races, sectors, and influences, so logically speaking, there was no reason for them to be traveling together.

However, they were, and that made Damien curious.

'I'll just follow them for now.'

He didn't want to attract too much attention as Alexander right now.

He was powerful, yes, but this power belonging to someone unknown would be even more suspicious to people like Luciel or Alucard who had high positions.

He definitely wanted to know what they were doing in a secret realm like this, but he didn't approach them needlessly.

After all, this was a labyrinth.

It was a place that constantly changed its shape and structure, filled with traps and beasts with great power, and an amount of treasure that was equivalent to the risk. n--o)(v.)e-(L/-B)-1./n

Even Alexander didn't know what lay at its center. Damien's spatial abilities didn't nearly manifest to the extent that he could ignore the restrictions of this place and perceive its entirety.

'The treasures I've found from just walking around randomly are already enough to create a small sect for myself. Why didn't a place like this exist in my era?'

He shrugged. He could probably guess why, but it didn't matter.

All the treasures he gained from his expedition thus far were sent to the Sanctuary, so they were probably being put to proper use.

'Speaking of, how does that even work?'

He began to wonder about it when he took Heiron. It was a world in a completely different time and space, and it wasn't something Damien should've ever had access to by logic.

He pondered how the Sanctuary truly functioned for a bit, but even this doubt was easy to clear from his main body's current position.

The Sanctuary was built in the Void. It was its own existence separated in every way from the main universe.

In fact, the only reason its time flowed at the same rate as the main universe was because it was tethered to Damien and used his soul as a basis.

With Damien's main body in the Void, outside the bounds of time and space, where was it supposed to root itself?

Naturally, it was still Damien's soul.

Therefore, even the unaware Alexander possessed traits he did when he was young.

He was a battle maniac, an instinct that was still somewhat present, especially since he used his physical strength rather than laws.

Whenever a strong opponent appeared, Damien felt the rush of fighting them that he'd been lacking in his main body for a very long time.

Because unlike him, the current Alexander didn't have any responsibilities on his shoulders.

Even this labyrinth he'd entered for the sake of battle. It was quite notorious in the outside world for its powerful beasts, and for good reason.

The most common of them were 4th class, and they only got stronger as one went deeper.

Alucard and Luciel's group was approaching a point of no return already.

In earthen terms, they were nearing the "boss battle."

They fought and claimed treasures, laughed and protected each other's backs, and finally, they reached a set of massive stone doors separating this area from the rest of the labyrinth.

"This is a first," Luciel said, brushing his fingers across the etchings on the doors.

"Indeed, the rest of the labyrinth didn't have anything like doors. It was quite annoying, but if this is here, doesn't that mean we are nearing the end?" Lucifer continued.

The two of them looked to Alucard for answers, and he nodded to satisfy their curiosity.

"The owner of this labyrinth, or someone associated with him, should be beyond this door. Once you defeat them, you will attain 'that thing.'"

"...once we defeat him? You're not helping?" Lucifer asked again.

"Hahaha, us? Helping? Lucifer, weren't you planning to rid your clan of their reputation of being dull?" Commander Huo replied, laughing boisterously.

"Tch, it was worth trying."

Lucifer clicked his tongue, sulking somewhat as the others joined in and teased him.

They conversed for a few more minutes, making guesses as to what they were going to see and what kind of strategies they would use, before finally pushing open the door.

In the shadows behind them, Damien's eyes sparkled.

"This..."

He wasn't expecting to see one here.

Just like his first experience in a secret realm, all the way back on Apeiron, it was chained there, sealed beyond countless layers of debilitating barriers.

'...a Nox.'
