Acting as kings

The passage behind the door was a dark tunnel.

This was completely different from the image that the golden door had portrayed, it was far from the splendor of the door.

But with how long it was taking, it only made sense that it would be minimalistic.

No one would spend that much effort in decorating this pathway from a lower realm to an upper realm, that was a waste of resources after all.

Since it took a while, that meant that I was able to find some time to talk to the system.

"Why did those armoured soldiers suddenly attack us like that?" 

Even though I had never ascended before, I could tell that what happened just now wasn't normal.

The way that all of those armoured soldiers appeared and the way that they had formed a killing formation, that was just too much for anyone that was newly ascending to the upper realm to deal with.

This was definitely not something that just anyone could deal with.
