The Nine-story Tower stood towering and majestic, appearing exceptionally tall within the entire underground cave.
Standing before it, they no longer needed lights. With the tower's red glow illuminating the space, the entire area was fairly bright. Even with their headlamps and other lighting equipment turned off, they could clearly see everything before them.
