Dead End

No decision to make here: one button, and this is what it does.

Nothing changes: this scene is text only.

As you approach, the Chain Knight stares at you and the expedition members.
The members tense up and prepare for battle, but unlike before, it shows no sign of hostility.

"Target combat capability confirmed to be at a considerably high level. Sufficient survival probability secured."

"Hey, you'd better explain what's going on. Otherwise, this time I'll turn you into a heap of scrap metal."

You threaten it, but the Chain Knight remains unfazed.

"Impossible. The Dungeon's operation cannot be explained logically. At present, the truth cannot be reached."

It disappears into the darkness, leaving behind one final statement.

"When the time comes, the path forward will open."
