The Stairs To The Fourth Layer

"I can see it!" Arad pointed forward toward Merlin's tower, "The stairs should be there,"

"The guardian is dead, right?" Amber looked at him as she held onto Merlin. Mc wasn't slowing down, and riding his back was harder than a horse, especially since they had no saddle.

"It was a monster that looked like Merlin," Arad replied, "Don't worry, I did burn her to a crisp and collected her crystal,"

"Are you sure you lost your powers?" Amber asked again, "How did you beat the city lord and the stairs guardian at the same time? Since when can you use mana recycling?"

"It's a long story," Arad replied, "But this place didn't steal my access to magic. I did learn mana recycling before, but wasn't that proficient in it,"

"What other powers do you have?" Merlin asked, "This place took all of my mana and casting abilities. But you still have them. Can't I teach you spells?"
