Floor 1461
The platform of Floor 1461 looked like a grey desert—lifeless, cracked, and silent. The air was heavy, and the ground was littered with the broken remains of ancient monsters. Scattered among them were strange black pods floating just above the ground, pulsing faintly with dark energy.
There were four of them.
Each one contained the core remains of Asher's Reapers.
The Hollow Knight.The Dread Dragon King.The Six-Eternal Empress.Maedra, the Triad Reaper.
They had fallen during the previous floor's battle—not destroyed, but forced into temporary death. Their souls were intact, undergoing resurrection through Asher's Soul Monarch Law. However, they couldn't be summoned again until a full day had passed.
For now, Asher stood alone.
Or rather—he stood with one.
