Where am I? Vivian muttered as he slowly opened his eyes.
His vision was blurry at first, but after a few seconds, things began to clear.
A faint light flickered above him, and he could smell the faint scent of herbs in the air.
The last thing he remembered was collapsing inside the dungeon after fighting the fused Vehemoth pair.
That battle had been brutal, far harder than he had expected.
The creature had reached the peak of five stars, and even with the help of the Black Shadows, it had nearly cost them their lives.
He could still recall the moment he struck the final blow, when the Vehemoth roared in pain and its massive body fell to the ground.
Before it died, he had taken its heart and stored it into the black cube.
As those memories flashed through his mind, he tried to sit up, but his body refused to move.
A sharp pain shot through his chest, and he realized something heavy was pressing down on him.
Looking down slowly, his eyes widened a little.
