[The Juggernaut has now been released inside the city.]
[Do not attempt to fight it.]
[Good luck.]
That was the final system message.
It appeared just moments after the required 500 awakeners had passed through the [Ascension Door], marking the completion of the fifth floor's core trial.
And with that, a final, ominous rule was added to the city-wide death game they were trapped in.
The rule didn't explain much.
It didn't give the creature's level.
It didn't describe its appearance or provide any footage.
No hints. No warnings. No way to prepare.
All it said was: the Juggernaut had been released.
"Juggernaut…" Celeste murmured under her breath, expression flat but eyes cold, "That means it's something that could probably kill half the awakeners in this city by itself."
"Mm," Karl nodded grimly.
He didn't like the way the system had phrased that message.
It hadn't said to be cautious.
It hadn't offered any kind of strategy or explanation.
