'I was hoping that we could work together, but you are just a loose cannon that needs to be melted down. I normally only set this to hard mode for other challengers, but I have turned it up to Nightmare Mode just for you,' Baalaniur's voice said in his mind as Bane's head broke back up through the water.
"Oh, so now I have to deal with a level scaling difficulty?" Bane grumbled, and he felt Onyx roll his eyes.
'I expected this to happen. The Halls of Darkness is a strange artifact meant to be a fortress to keep out invaders, but it requires a large amount of demonic energy. That means it is not as useful in Dominion Online as it is here in the demon world that has an unlimited supply of demonic energy. While inside, the controller can force trials on the invaders, but they can also change the terrain and augment the troops defending each trial,' Onyx explained as Bane swam to shore and started to look around.
