It might be my imagination but Viers seems to be giddy while giving a straight kick to a fae's chest, one after another. Depending on their bug parts, some fly and some don’t. We started pushing the fae from the stairs using various methods. Changing strategy, moving them out of our way is the next best option. Sometimes, they even come back up despite half of their body being eviscerated by the Level 4 Kailu. These fae are hardier than the ones we encountered before. Viers at the right, Bryan at the left, Damon and Wendy acting as the rear guard. The elves take point, acting as windbreakers and plowing the fae away from our path. They act like beasts, no coherence whatsoever, just more bodies to the pile. The fae use human-wave tactics as bug-hybrid fae stream in from every direction.

Portals that can suddenly appear from anywhere around us are spitting out enemies. Going down floor by floor, each an expanse of buildings and facilities. We arrive at the stairs that are built surrounding the massive central pillar. It worries me, since we still don't know the purpose of the Wonder. There are lines on the wall, red lights streaming upwards to the top as if transferring some kind of energy. Without it, the true form of the Magitek Wonder’s interior is revealed.

Considering the depth of the illusion, perhaps it is the work of the marquess himself. As I suspected, the entire thing was a glamour of the fae. We run like the Seven Devils are out to get our souls.
