Leon and Celeste appeared in a quiet clearing surrounded by tall trees that stretched far into the sky.
The ground beneath their feet was covered in soft grass, and the air itself felt heavy with natural energy.
Directly in front of them was a massive temple constructed from pale stone and wrapped in enormous vines that crawled across every surface.
'Hm.'
Leon's eyes narrowed slightly as he studied the temple, though what truly caught his attention wasn't the structure itself, but the panel that had appeared the moment they arrived.
[May the will of the heavenly one be with you, for your death is now certain.]
This particular version of the phrase somehow sounded even more ominous than any other yet.
Even more so than the "because nothing else will" version.
"Oh well," Leon eventually said with a small shrug as he looked ahead toward the temple's entrance. "I guess there's nothing to do but clear this place."
The [Temple of Nature] clearly wasn't an ordinary zone.
