"Kid, spill your blood!" the Vermilion Demon Lord barked, his voice like molten iron striking a gong. "That Golden Dragon Bloodline of yours sits atop every draconic lineage. A tower built to shackle dragons will kneel to it. Draw the blood, spark the resonance—now!"
Without a heartbeat of hesitation, Jared slashed his own palm with the Dragonslayer Sword. Liquid sunlight—pure dragon essence, thick and gold—splattered across the shimmering ward.
Sizzle!
The blood boiled on contact, the way icy rain sizzles on a forge. Runes woven into the barrier guttered, their glow dying, and the once-solid screen quivered like disturbed water.
"This is it! Break it together!"
Jared roared. He, Cyanna, and Coall unleashed every shred of power they had, converging their strikes on the blood-soaked spot.
Crack!
A shattering noise rolled through the tower. A jagged mouth tore open in the fifth-floor shield, wide enough for a man to leap through.
"Move!"
Jared dove through first, a streak of crimson and steel. Cyanna and Coall followed him.
The fifth floor was no simple chamber. It was a living maze—corridors folding, walls sliding, space itself grinding like gears out of sync.
Mirror-slick surfaces rose, vanished, re-formed, throwing back endless copies of the trio until direction lost all meaning.
Warped light bent across the air, and every breath vibrated with chaotic spatial ripples.
"Back again, are we? And you brought two new toys to play with?" A childlike voice giggled, ringing from every reflection at once.
Coall's voice thundered, "Quit hiding and show yourself!"
He slammed a fist the size of a battering ram into the nearest wall.
Boom!
The surface shattered—then instantly regenerated, new panels sliding into place as though the tower had infinite stone to spare.

In the split second that followed, Jared's mind raced. Space—that is its heart. The Demon Seal Tower was forged from a Beast Overlord's core; every brick hums with dimension law.
