"Now you can go," the old man said calmly as his transparent figure began to fade slowly into the air. His form flickered like a faint shadow dissolving into light, yet his gaze remained firmly fixed on Max.
Before his presence completely vanished, he spoke one final sentence.
"Remember this clearly. Whatever happened on the hundredth floor must remain a secret."
Max nodded silently. He understood the meaning behind those words. The knowledge of the Overlord Body Codex, the existence of the second tower, and everything related to Saint Reiner's inheritance could not be revealed carelessly.
The old man's figure slowly dissolved into countless faint particles of light until nothing remained.
The chamber that had once felt alive with his presence suddenly became silent.
"Is this over?" Max muttered quietly as he let out a long breath.
