The boss collapsed with a deafening thud, its massive body hitting the ground hard enough to crack the stone beneath it.
The last echoes of the battle faded into silence, leaving only the distant hum of the Tower's ever-present energy.
A familiar chime rang in Arlon's mind, followed by a notification.
[You have leveled up!]
He exhaled slowly, his grip on Aetherion's Edge relaxing just a little.
Level 177.
It had taken long enough. Since entering the Tower, this was the first time he had actually gained a level.
The monsters before had been too weak to give any meaningful experience.
But this time, the monsters on Floor 30, Level 3 had ranged between level 170 and 175, with the boss itself sitting at level 175.
That had been enough to finally push him forward.
Arlon took a moment to glance around the chamber.
