Joshua arrived at the pitch-black stairs. He had not been called by Doom Kaos, and instead, he had willingly entered. He raised the amulet in his hand as he started to go up the stairs. It was a warning that if he was not allowed to enter beyond the curtain, he would use the powers embedded in the talisman.

It was the first time he revealed his true intentions to Doom Kaos. As expected, the curtain did not block him nor did it send any negative effects.

When Joshua went into the curtain, he could look up and see the entity just as he had imagined. It was an evil being left with nothing but the intent to monopolize the power. Even amidst a fierce confrontation against the Old One outside of the stairs, his eyes still held firm strength.

The light from the light beams that stretched out from Doom Kaos was intensely bright. However, Doom Kaos’s wicked eyes remained clear. Joshua felt fear again from that point. The creeping dread was making his spine chill after a long while.
