Arlon exhaled, his grip relaxing slightly.
The monsters were weak.
He could already see the monsters' levels thanks to the new feature on his Eyes of KET**, letting him see others' levels without activating his skill.
But even when he activated the skill to fully analyze them, he saw nothing noteworthy.
He raised his hand, summoning a basic spell.
Aetherion's Edge hummed faintly as mana flowed from his body, weaving into a familiar shape.
A low-tier AOE spell, Arcane Surge.
It wasn't flashy.
It didn't tear through space or cause cataclysmic destruction.
Instead, a soft pulse of violet energy radiated outward, forming a perfectly controlled wave that expanded in an instant.
The monsters didn't even have time to react.
As soon as the wave passed through them—they vanished.
Not burned, not crushed—just erased.
All within three seconds.
[ Challenger, you have cleared Level 1 of Floor 1. ]
[ Would you like to advance to the next floor? ]
