The Fifth Floor
The arena fell silent as the final echoes of their battle faded into the distance. Ethan stood over the defeated Floor Guardian, his chest heaving with exertion. The mighty beast lay on the ground, its once powerful form now lifeless and broken. The crimson aura that had surrounded it flickered weakly before fading entirely.The Guardian's eyes, dimming with the last vestiges of life, looked up at Ethan. Then, with a final, shuddering breath, the Guardian's body went still.Ethan watched as the Floor Guardian's form began to disintegrate. Starting from its core, the beast's body dissolved into countless red particles of light. The particles floated upwards, swirling in a mesmerizing dance before dissipating into the air.
