The battlefield was a storm of chaos, divine warriors and frenzied berserkers clashing in an unending cycle of destruction. With General Malzareth defeated, the war had lost its structure, but that only made it more dangerous.
Elias stood amid the carnage, gripping his blade. His body ached from battle, but there was no time to rest. They had to break through.
A deep, mechanical chime echoed across the battlefield.

[FLOOR 46 CHALLENGE: FINAL GATE SIEGE UNLOCKED.]
The fortress ahead loomed over them, its titanic gates sealed by golden divine energy. Beyond it lay the next floor, but standing in their way was an army of divine warlords, led by one final challenger.
A massive figure stepped forward from the fortress gates-
Lord Varian, The Warlord Champion
• Clad in heavy black and crimson armor, inscribed with divine runes.
• Wielded a greatsword larger than most men, crackling with battle-forged energy.
His presence alone made the battlefield tremble.
His golden eyes locked onto Elias.
"You mortals think you've won a battle? War does not end. War is eternal."
He lifted his greatsword, and the entire battlefield surged with divine fury.
[SYSTEM ALERT: FINAL CHALLENGER APPROACHES.] [DEFEAT LORD VARIAN TO ACCESS FLOOR 46.]
Elias exchanged glances with Althea and Lyra. They had come too far to stop now.
Elias cracked his neck, gripping his weapon.
"Alright, let's finish this."
