A New Paragon Appears

----

To everyone's shock, Apollo reached the top of the staircases in no time at all. In mere minutes, Apollo arrived before the ceiling created through mirages. However, Apollo was astonished by the surreality of the wall.

"It feels so real. If not for Fuhrer's earlier information, then I'm afraid I would take this ceiling for truth."

Despite passing his hand over the ceiling, it was identical to the stones below. But, Fuhrer warned him of this property. Unlike the floor, which was created by using mundane materials, capable of being found anywhere, the ceiling from fabricated from Essence.

This Essence was gradually purified and hardened many times over while also being reinforced by the injection of its master's intent. Thus, what remained before Apollo was a concoction of utmost mastery. 

Something that he could not bypass or penetrate. However, that couldn't be said for another person.
