Unlike zones, where difficulty changes mainly affected strength and numbers, [Realms] were different.
A higher difficulty could completely alter the environment, introduce new mechanics, spawn entirely different creatures, and even change the structure of the realm itself.
Which meant that the gap between [Hell] and [Nightmare] was massive.
"Well..." Leon said as a grin slowly spread across his face, "We don't really have a choice, do we?"
The quest clearly stated that the [Volcano Crab King] only appeared in the highest difficulty.
So there was no point in hesitating. Without giving anyone time to react...
Fwoosh!
Leon selected [Nightmare].
And the moment he did—
BOOM!
The portal reacted instantly.
The calm beige color twisted violently as a deep crimson hue spread through it, the energy intensifying to the point where the entire room seemed to vibrate slightly.
The atmosphere changed in an instant.
