Upon stepping onto the sixth level, Jonan could feel the pressure reaching deep into his very soul, however, the changes were not as drastic as when he had ascended from the fourth to the fifth step.
His movements were once again restricted, but this time the nature of the pressure was different, while his physical body still experienced some strain, it was minimal in comparison, the true threat now was psychological, and it was the overwhelming fear that gripped him in his heart.
