Legend had it that Summoner Hrathen built a Mysterious Sanctuary beneath the Imperial Palace and controlled countless demons to guard it. This was where Abel had appeared—the Mysterious Sanctuary of Summoner Hrathen.
Abel emerged from the Teleportation Gate cautiously, with a Ghost Guardian Knight at his side and a Clay Golem standing before him.
He was standing on a platform. It was tiny, containing only a Teleportation Gate and a staircase descending on one side. Beyond the platform was empty space, with stars constantly flashing through the void.
He leaned out to look and could be certain that falling from here would send him into unknown spatial turbulence, from which he would never return.
He followed the stairs down and saw a Teleportation Waypoint on a larger square platform.
He took out two perfect gems, placed them inside, and activated the Teleportation Waypoint with his mental power. White light flickered within it, and two beams of energy showed that it was functioning normally.
Now that the Teleportation Waypoint was activated, he could travel here directly from Lut Gholein in the future.
There was a passage on each of the square platform's four sides. Outside the platform and passages, there was still nothing but empty space.
Clearly, the entire Mysterious Sanctuary had been built in the void. Hell had entered the palace's underground levels through Teleportation Gates from here, allowing Hell Creatures to overrun them.
Only one of the four directions led to Summoner Hrathen's location. Abel did not know which one was correct, so he could only try them one by one.
He randomly chose a passage and used "Teleport" to move forward. Although the void surrounding him looked dangerous, it also restricted the Hell Creatures' attacks. The passage was only wide enough for two Hell Creatures to walk side
