As Jeremy drew closer to the innermost depths of Shadow City, his initial confidence began to wane significantly.

Jeremy could sense a presence within the heart of Shadow City that harbored intense hostility towards him. Moreover, the formidable strength of this presence was beyond anything he had anticipated.
