The tunnel eventually widened into a massive underground cavern.The moment they stepped inside, the full scene unfolded before them.More than a hundred people filled the cavern.Some sat against the walls with pale faces, nursing injuries from the collapse. Others were moving from group to group, tending to the wounded with whatever supplies they could find.The atmosphere was tense, but the workers who had volunteered to defend the mine were the first to notice the newcomers.Grace didn’t waste a second.There was no time for royal etiquette.“Where’s the supervisor…!”Before she could finish speaking, the entire mountain lurched violently.Boom!Everyone instinctively covered their heads.Several people cried out in alarm as loose pebbles rained down from above.For a terrifying moment, they all thought the ceiling was about to collapse.Outside the mountain, the elephant-like Elite Class Abyssal had already climbed higher up the slope.At the same time, the winged humanoid Abyssa

Grace stood frozen.Her entire body trembled as she stared at the blazing sun suspended above the battlefield.Her thoughts were in complete chaos.He really summoned something that embodies the sun…No.That wasn’t even the most unbelievable part.How did he do it?He hadn’t used some priceless artifact or legendary treasure.The only sacrifice had been a mulberry tree.Yes, Nidhogg’s blood was extraordinary, but that alone couldn’t explain a summoning on this level.Then another detail surfaced in her mind.The story…The information he recited before beginning the ritual…It wasn’t part of any summoning chant she had ever learned.Instead, it sounded like a legend.Almost like a prayer offered directly to the being he intended to summon.Grace’s breathing became uneven.Did he learn a different summoning method in the Ancient Library?Or…Is this another secret hidden within that place?Whatever the answer was, one fact remained undeniable.Rhys had just summoned a creature that fa

On the opposite side of the mountain, Gealion had already grown to the same size as the giant spider.The moment his transformation finished, he charged without hesitation.The spider answered in kind.Its massive legs pounded against the ground, making the mountain shake with every step.When the two colossal beasts finally collided, the impact sent another violent tremor through the battlefield.The spider met Gealion’s swipe head-on with its front legs.At the same time, the writhing tentacles covering its back lashed down from above.Gealion’s claws raked across the spider’s armored legs, leaving shallow marks that barely slowed it down.Seeing his claws accomplish little, he immediately raised his head and clamped his jaws around the descending tentacles.For a brief moment, neither giant moved.Their bodies were nearly equal in size and weight.Simply overpowering each other through brute force shouldn’t have been possible.But Gealion wasn’t relying on ordinary strength.He unl

The fiercest battle on the entire battlefield was taking place on the last front.Grace and the mutant had completely abandoned the idea of holding anything back.The Lightning Spirit attacked first.A bolt of lightning shot toward the mutant at the exact same moment Grace unleashed her own spell.The two attacks were perfectly synchronized.They should have struck from different angles at the same time.Instead, the mutant charged straight into them.Its fists blurred.Boom!Boom!It punched both lightning attacks apart almost instantly.The resulting explosions swallowed its body, filling the battlefield with blinding flashes.Before the smoke had even settled, the Fire Spirit and Wind Spirit joined the assault.The Wind Spirit summoned a massive tornado around the mutant.A heartbeat later, the Fire Spirit flooded the cyclone with flames.The towering vortex immediately became a blazing inferno.For an instant, it looked as though the mutant had been trapped.Then…The creature spr

Syrax and the humanoid Abyssal hovered in the sky, neither one taking their eyes off the other.With almost all of its flying subordinates wiped out, the humanoid monster finally understood how dangerous its situation had become.There was no longer an army to wear Syrax down.This battle had become a one-on-one fight.Without any warning, Syrax beat his wings and shot forward.He chose to meet the Elite Class Abyssal head-on.The humanoid monster answered by swinging its massive club downward with all its strength, hoping to crush the golden crow in a single blow.Syrax slipped sideways with effortless speed.The enormous weapon missed him by inches.Then, just as before, countless black spikes burst from the surface of the club.They shot outward like spears, trying to skewer him from every direction.Syrax had already seen this trick once.He wasn’t about to fall for it again.His body twisted gracefully through the air.Every spike missed him by the narrowest margin.Instead of re
