In the dark corner at the starting point of the small dimension- Fein, Voli, Aoi, and Sofia were sitting on the ground.


    After they finished clearing up the white ghouls their bodies are sore, and the exhaustion kicks in instantly when the pressure disappeared. The four of them have varying degrees of injuries, and Sofia was even punctured on the shoulder by the ws of white ghouls once. Now, the healing potions and degu recovery positions on Fein''s storage were emptied.


    "I was already prepared to see horrifying things here, But I didn''t expect that this ce would have such an exaggerated number of ghouls," Sofia said.


    Fein looks at their torn clothes and says. "Well, I didn''t really expect it either. I think those fuckers were rted to the downfall of this Civilization. Inside of those holes is apletely different ce than this one, it might even lead to the so-called middle realm."


    Sofia raised her eyebrows at him. "It shouldn''t be. Although they are indeed exaggerated numbers, the strengths of the creatures in the middle realm shouldn''t be lower than S-rank based on the information provided by past explorers of our human race."


    "Well, who knows really, It might be the minions of a creature in the Middle Realm or something." Fein shrugged as if it was just his guess and continued. "But enough of that. We have already rested enough, let''s go, I can''t feel an ounce of safety in this ce."


    "Okay," Sofia said without emotion.


    The four of them came where the white light brought them at the start. There was a stone tablet beside the wall with the same palm print as in the temple.


    Sofia swept her gaze on the stone table.


    "This should be it,"


    "Well, let''s hurry up" Fein smiled and jumped on top of Voli.


    Sofia walked to the stone table until he was only one short step from it before colliding. She brought her hand to the palm print.


    Just like what happenedst time, white light appeared, but this time instead of covering the four of them, their bodies were pulled up by a strong force. Then they vanished.


    ...


    In the temple


    The darkness that covered the area receded. Only light can drive out darkness, and only darkness can swallow up the light. These are two opposing forces since the start of creation. Four figures appeared as they scanned their surrounding with vignce in their eyes.


    Fein looked at the temple, the ce still looks disturbing as before.


    "It seems there''s no danger here, but as what we are doing from the start, we would tread carefully."


    "Yeah, we only needed to cross thest obstacle. those metal spikes still pose a threat to us." Sofia pointed at the passageway where they have entered at the start.


    "It''s not really a problem anymore with Voli''s lightning step, I only needed to support Aoi at that time as the passageway was too narrow for Voli to adjust his size. Not only that, increasing his size would make him an easy target."


    Hearing his name, the hair on Voli''s ear stood up. Sofia nodded as she agreed with Fein''s statement.


    Fein briskly walks to the frontline and the three of them followed him. As they walk outside the temple, they saw the two golden statues just like earlier standing beside the entrance. Fein was tempted to put these two statues in his storage space but he knew that they wouldn''t fit at all.


    As he thought of this, he couldn''t help but nce at the statues with disappointment.


    If they were only a bit smaller.


    Fein thought in his heart, but suddenly he froze... He stared intently at the two golden statues, he used his powerful memory that was enhanced by his talent to recall the mental images of the scene when they first saw it. and there was really something wrong! a bad feeling arose in his heart.


    Why is the cement of the spear 10 inches different than before? and if I remember they didn''t have that grin on their face earlier right!?


    Fein looked at the face of two golden statues again, as if confirming his guess, the two statues blinked, and their lips moved upward forming an evil smile. Fein felt goosebumps crawl on his entire being, this was just like a horror story that was popr in his past life. Their pupils flickered with a blood-red light. The two statues lifted their spears as they performed a stabbing motion toward them.


    "Guys dodge!" Fein woke up in his reveries as he shouted to alert the others.


    The three reacted after Fein''s warning, but it was obviously toote, as the two spears moved a bit fast.


    Seeing this, Fein instantly took action, his arm went in his scabbard, and unsheathed his sword in 0.1 seconds to counter. A red light shed colliding at the two spears.


    Click. click. click...


    The sound of metal colliding resounded, but the spear only slowed down. Fortunately, it manage to buy time as Aoi hurriedly flew up while holding Sofia. Voli on the other hand didn''t escape but boldly run towards the statues.


    Fein also moved towards the spear, his arms bulging showing his muscles, as he began to exert his strength on his arms while holding the de, then he swung it towards the spear with full force.


    The overbearing spear that was full of momentum once again collided with Fein this time.


    Boom!


    A shockwave was produced, and the two spears and one sword were in a stalemate.


    Fein felt a huge force on his arm, it felt as if he collided with a truck, and the veins on both of his arms bulged due to the excessive force that he was exerting.


    This gave Voli a chance, he appeared below the two statues that were currently overpowering Fein, Voli condensed dark winds on his arm instantly and smashed it to the feet of one of the golden statues.


    The dark wind paw came in contact with the feet, but the expected cracking didn''te out, the statue only became unstable as it shook at Voli''s attack.


    The interference of Voli gave Fein a chance to move, as he used his shing Dash and appeared beside the head of the enemy. He infused 25% of his degu on the de causing it to produce a burning effect, the temperature increased as a fire was ignited on his de.


    Crimson Eagle Sword Style: Fire Dragon sh!


    A red light emerged after Fein swung his sword, the red light has traces of burning mes to it as it made its way towards the neck of golden statues!


    Sofia on the other hand used her blood maniption to produce multiple bloodnces and threw them at the statues.
