It's the final stretch
Mildly
From then on, I headed toward the tunnel ahead.
As the darkness deepened, the minerals embedded in the walls began to glow faintly.
Something moved from beyond.
A body that swallows light like black glass.
The obsidian warrior emerged from between the rocks.
The arms themselves had turned into sharp blades.
He raised his shield.
Heukyo-seok's arm brushed past the shield.
The spear immediately thrust forward.
The stab pierced the torso.
At that moment, a massive impact struck from behind.
The iron ore monster threw its entire body.
The shield was pushed back.
The stone beneath my feet cracked.
I drew the window back and stepped aside.
The iron ore monster just passed by.
An ice slice followed.
A sharp blade of ice sliced through the obsidian warrior's body in succession.
Gold spread across the black body.
But magic moved from the ground up.
A Magic Stone Devourer pounced.
He was swallowing the magic stones that had fallen all around him.
A magical explosion went off from within the body.
The ice slush went flying.
The ice split the body, but the magic stone predator held its ground.
It rather drew in the surrounding ore.
The tunnel wall shook.
A stone-shelled beast broke through the cliff and charged.
I blocked it with a shield.
The shock was transmitted immediately.
The tip of the spear pointed toward the neck.
I stabbed it in.
I twisted my body and slashed.
Then the ground cracked.
A massive claw tore through the ground and rose up.
It was an earthquake-clawed monster.
The claw swung.
The ground cracked and rocks crashed.
In the meantime, a rock-digging insect broke through the cliff and emerged.
Before I could turn my head, another presence fell from above.
A cliffside crevasse surged down along the wall and crashed down.
The shield shook violently upon impact.
I pushed it out the window.
Ice slice.
The blade of ice sliced across the body of the leeching figure.
But small stones were already moving on the ground.
Countless stone spirits merged to form a single, immense current.
It even pulled the surrounding rocks.
The land spirit also rose from among them.
A body made of earth and stone rolled across the ground.
I pushed the window forward.
Stab.
He pushed forward with a shield.
And I cut it again.
The ice slushy burst.
The ice stiffened the body of the earth spirit.
But beyond that, the entire mountain shook.
A memory body of the mountain appeared.
The silhouette of ancient mountain ranges overlapped the current tunnel.
The collapsed cliff.
Rock face of the past.
The vanished terrain.
Everything overlapped like a halo, twisting the path.
At that moment, the shadow of the rock seeped into the ground.
It vanished from sight.
And it appeared right behind.
I turned my body.
The spear pierced first.
Push away with a shield,
Ice slice.
The rock shadows swayed within the ice.
But the real threat was beneath it.
A massive pulse of magic was heard.
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.
It was the earth's heart.
A massive magical core was spinning inside him.
With every beat, the surrounding terrain shifted.
The walls rose, and the floor twisted.
A massive rock fell from above.
I threw my body to the side.
The rocks crashed to the bottom.
Behind it, a rock scorpion pounced.
The tail lifted.
A stone needle flew at him.
The shield blocked it.
He immediately thrust the spear.
Stab.
And I cut quickly.
An ice slice sliced through the rock scorpion's body.
Ice slushies followed.
Ice covered the tunnel.
For a moment, it felt as if everything had stopped.
But,
A flame rose.
And the flame instantly turned into a massive fireball.
The flames surged upward.
Rising storm.
A massive whirlwind of fire surged up the tunnel.
The ice melted.
The rock cracked.
Pieces of obsidian leapt into the flames.
Even the iron ore monster's body flushed red.
As fire and ice collided, the entire tunnel shook.
And after all those attacks had passed,
A new passage appeared beyond.
The deep parts of the mountain are not over yet.
