Chapter 51

Mai and Suzu level up for 6 hours, then they come back.

[SUZU][HP/500/500][lv.8]

Suzu managed to level up 8 levels in 6 hours.

They return to the tower.

Okay then, let's get started. Okay by me says Mai and flies after Suzu.

They go back into the abandoned temple and kill the enemies again.

Then they walk a little further through the hall in the temple.

A purple light shines through the floor.

Suzu and Mai slowly approach the light.

What is this...

If I'm not mistaken, that's the portal to the next level.

What was the first level?

Yes, the levels are getting heavier and heavier. Says Mai and points at Suzu's shoulder.

Hey... Suzu is a bit scared.

Oh, so it's just you...

Do we want to go to the second level?

Of course, we do!

Suzu walks onto the portal, Mai on his shoulder, and they go to the second level.

Suzu's avatar appears in a small temple.

A window appears in front of Suzu.

[WELCOME TO THE 2ND LEVEL].

Suzu wipes the window aside and looks around.

He runs out of the temple.

Outside the temple is a huge desert. Suzu only sees something of great treasure in the distance.

And what should we do now? Suzu asks Mai.

....

What should we do?

I don't know.

We have to cross this desert to get to the Nights Plain.

Oh no!!

But let's go now.

Suzu takes his first step out of the temple onto the sand and a hole opens up under Suzu and he falls into the depths with Mai.

Aaaaaaaaa. Help.

Suddenly, a bright light envelops the hole, and Suzu and Mai find themselves on a cloud.

How did we get here?

Suzu turns completely around.

[Flash]

Mai shocks Suzu into calming down.

Suzu is lying on the floor and can't move properly.

Mai flees over the edge of the cloud and looks down.

And what do you see? Suzu asks, struggling to his feet.

I don't see anything.

How nothing?
