Chapter 254: Deep into the mines there is a... After thoroughly observing the surroundings, she didn't find any sort of clue, so Yasenia decided to enter the mines. She took out [Draconic Heart], and all her senses became alert. Even if the strength of the enemies from the previous Monoliths didn't surpass the half-step level of the Mental nourishing realm, Yasenia wouldn't become confident because of that. Her life was on the line, after all. As she walked, Yasenia used her tail in the Sword shape to mark the floor. She didn't know whether it would be a complex network of tunnels or something simple. Either way, this would be a good method not to get lost as easily. Her tail was extremely sharp and durable. It had already reached the boundary between High-level Earth treasure and low-level Heaven treasure. Moreover, after being coated by her energy coat, its hardness and sharpness increased, cutting the hard soil like a heated knife would through butter. Five minutes later, Yasenia felt movement from the right. She placed her sword like a shield in that direction. *Bang!* Yasenia felt the impact and heard something sharp making a strident noise as it tried to claw through it. The impact was strong, but her feet didn't move. The world was going slowly as Yasenia observed the creature that hit her sword. 'It isn't very big. I can use my tail as the main weapon.' The creature that slammed onto her sword had the size of a large dog, with sharp claws on its four legs and a furry grey body. Without delay, Yasenia used her tail and constricted the creature's lower half, hardening her scales so that it couldn't damage her. Then, Yasenia she pulled with all her strength and swung the beast around, hitting the floor with it. *BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!* Yasenia's tail was relentless as she slammed the creature into the floor and walls, creating very shallow craters. The creature didn't even know where the direction of the floor was as its face kept meeting the hard surface of the mine repeatedly. The powerful momentum Yasenia created when flinging it was enough not to let the creature free from the tight grip of her tail. This beating down continued until Yasenia saw that it had fainted. The dragoness stopped slamming the creature on the walls and floor and looked at it closely. "I may as well try to find a glaring weakness or something before I kill it." She observed the fainted and ugly creature closely. The thing that attacked her was quadrupedal with small back legs and very long frontal ones. The frontal limbs had five sharp and big claws, at least thirty centimeters. Yasenia took the claw and tried to hurt her tail with it. Sparks flew between them as the piercing sound of metal scraping against metal was heard. 'It can't win against my scales. That is good news. Since they use them to dig, I thought they would be much sharper. She continued observing and was surprised to see that the creature didn't have eyes on its head nor everywhere else. The furry grey skin was deceptive as it was solid like a rock. The strength of this one was in the middle-level, approaching high-level, of the third rank. She tried to remember the name of the creature, but Yasenia didn't have any memory of this beast's name. Driven by curiosity, she continued investigating it, covering herself with a protective membrane. And she did well doing that because it suddenly awakened and directly spat something at her. It was a gooey blue liquid that certainly looked dangerous. Yasenia dodged to the side, but it managed to touch her arm. Thankfully, the protective membrane made it so the liquid couldn't damage her in any way. Still, when the liquid touched the ground, it sizzled, creating toxic fumes. Yasenia raised an eyebrow, "Bad little thing. Let's see how resistant your body is." Yasenia delivered an uppercut to the lower jaw of the creature with her whole strength. *SPLAT!* That was the sound it created as the head burst like a watermelon, splashing everything on the walls. Yasenia nodded and said, "Quite fragile." It wasn't. Dear Yasenia, the creature isn't fragile. The skin of these creatures was as durable as the rocks they ate, so Yasenia just said that earth-ranked stones were fragile. Still, it was true that for our dragoness, it really felt like that. The creature spoke again. Even though its voice was screeching, Yasenia could understand perfectly. "Destroying innocent life as if it was common grass under your claws. Do you really want to exterminate us? Don't you feel anything killing us like that?" Yasenia's heart didn't move, and she continued swinging her sword. 'If you were real, maybe I would bother speaking. But you are not. You are just a challenge, and these words are things to test my will. Therefore...' "[Absorption of Celestial light: Day and Night Cycle]." Yasenia's eyes turned silver as a vortex of energy enveloped her figure. *BOOM!* Her aura washed the whole cave like a tide, even scaring the fourth-level creature. Yasenia said, her voice having a majestic tone even though Yasenia didn't intend to. "Time to meet your death, creature." Those questions were asked to the four of them once they began killing the army pouring through the holes in the walls and ceiling. Kali and Sarah doubted whether what they were doing was correct or not, slowing down their attacks for a moment. Sarah because of her human empathy and Kali because of her bloodline and personality. However, Kali steeled herself within four seconds and continued commanding her growing plant army together with Valeria, the [Golden Crown]. Angel, on the other side, didn't mind much about it. The little girl's mind was focused, and she knew that she had to overcome this challenge if she wanted to become gain more points. Therefore, she had been running around and placing down many [Glass Nodes] while it spoke. The [Glass Golems] helped her open a path between the tide of creatures and those that the golems couldn't block; Angel sent them flying with a shield bash or scorched them with a laser. The being talking to her was in the unification realm, something she wouldn't be able to defeat if the match was fair. But because the creature was speaking, she gave her enough time to combine two of her strongest formations. Angel answered with her silvery voice, "Sorry, but you must die for me to complete this challenge." Then, she activated the [Laser Prison Formation], [Mirage Formation], and [Glass golem formation] at the same time. A colorful show of lights illuminated the gloomy cave. The fourth level creature had its senses confused as the [Mirage Formation] made even sound behave strangely. This gave Angel enough time to do what she had been planning since the beginning. The twenty, three-meter-tall golems ignored everything as they rushed across the army of confused creatures and jumped on top of the fourth-level beast. Then, Angel controlled her [Laser prison Formation] and shot one laser at each of the golems. "[GOLEM EXPLOSION]!" The fourth-level creature felt those golems landing on it and was about to destroy them when... *BOOOOM!* *CREEE!* An enormous multicolored explosion rocked the mines, making its foundation tremble, closely followed by a piercing yet agonizing screech. However, thanks to the prison formation absorbing most of the impact, Angel avoided the mines collapsing because of the enormous explosion. Still, Angel didn't relax and created attack formations to bombard the explosion's center with lasers continuously. Of course, as she did that, she was weaving through the third-ranked creatures and blocking the attacks with her shield, killing some of them with shield bashes and other shield attacks. The heavily injured fourth-ranked creature managed to get out of the middle of the laser barrage, but its state was a sorry sight. The body was open in many places, with the bottom part of its body basically gone. Even if the difference in strength was high, with those serious injuries, it wasn't long before the fourth-level creature gave its last breath. Then, Angel cleaned the remaining low-level creatures with another two hours of effort.
