As soon as I step out of the tunnel, my jaw drops.
The sight before me steals my breath away.
This isn't just a hidden chamber. This isn't just an underground stronghold.
It's an entire city.
Sprawling across a massive floating platform, the city extends into the vast, endless void. There is no sun, no moon, no stars—only an abyss stretching infinitely above and below. The air hums with an unnatural stillness, broken only by the faint flicker of arcane lanterns and the pulsating veins of magical energy coursing through the stone streets.
It's as if the city itself is alive, breathing in tandem with the magic that sustains it.
"Incredible…" Sophia whispers, her expression mirroring my own awe.
I thought Mirayuki's private chamber was impressive.
But this?
This is something else entirely.
"Pretty cool, right?" Mirayuki grins, stepping forward. With a dramatic flourish, she spreads her arms wide. "Welcome to Serpentis Sanctum, also known as— Serpentara!"
