Once the preparations were ready, they headed toward the castle in the distance. For the first time in weeks, they felt that they were actually approaching something. However, in the end, that also worked to make them worry a little bit. After a while, the castle was so big that they arrived in a part of the world covered in the castle's shadow, and that shadow was dozens of kilometers large.
"I am starting to think that we should enjoy this chance to grind more," Femradiel said. "This power is beyond what we already have seen until now, and we have seen and fought against troublesome foes."
"If we defeat him, we will have that chance whenever we feel like it," Ryan said. "We can't afford to stay away for much more time away from reality. We don't know if the flow of time here is different or not."
"Do you think we will be able to create a place like this if we defeat him?" Femradiel asked. "That would be awesome… and quite scary. This is like an alternative reality… beings made of flesh shouldn't have the power to create this."
"Perhaps one day we will create a place crazy enough, but at the beginning, only a small version of it," Ryan said.
It was hard to believe that was possible, but once the group reached the gates of the castle, they saw how huge the building was… if they were inside an illusion, they wouldn't think that was possible, but the castle was at least eight kilometers tall and fifty large. Hypnos sure was trying hard trying to make an impression…
Considering that Hypnos created a game world, Ryan imagined he would put some watchdogs on the gates to welcome the visitors, but he didn't do that. As soon as they got close enough, the gate opened as if it was welcoming the guests. Ryan shrugged while looking at the two others who were showing tense expressions. They sure didn't know how to appreciate a good mood… or perhaps Ryan was just a weirdo for liking that kind of tension.
As they crossed the interior of the castle, they didn't find anything special or out of place. Everything seemed weirdly dark, though. Only a few giant torches were illuminating the place, and they were too far away from each other to make the place really illuminated. The dark atmosphere didn't fit that whole situation, even more so when they saw so much color outside the castle for several days.
After a while, Ryan began to worry because fighting in his draconic form would be a pain indoors. Not to mention, he was pretty sure that the castle wasn't just there to improve the mood of the fight…
After a while, they reached the other side of the castle, and there they found the throne room. That part of the castle was a lot less dark if compared to the others. Instead of torches, some golden candelabrum and giants' candles illuminated the golden room. On the opposite side, Ryan, Femradiel, and Alissa found what seemed to be a man with golden hair sitting here sleeping. Aside from the golden hair, he didn't look any special, but that wasn't the case… the man wasn't physically imposing like Thanatos, but he was exactly like him. Ryan confirmed that when Hypnos opened his eyes and showed that same glow with his golden eyes.
