Chapter 1180 - Collapse I (1/2)

”Kach Thud Kach Thud Kach Thud…”

It had been five hours since I had been digging into the stone mountain, and now I could completely pierce my sword into the stone if I wanted, which is entirely different from when I first starter where I my sword only dig a few inches into the stone.

Still, I am far away from reaching the entrance inside the stone mountain; it would take me at least tomorrow evening to do that; my current target is a hollow space inside, which is few meters away from where I am digging.

Seeing my speed, it should take me about two hours to reach there, but I don't I could. I am exhausted; the maintenance of enchantment at full power takes a lot of energy.

I had to refine the energy with all my efforts to manage the expenditure, and did I mention how much energy the enchantment took, its a lot that I am barely able to keep up.

I had to force myself to refine the huge energy, not matter tired I am feeling.

THUD!

One and half hour later, a big block of stone fell, revealing a large hollow space; seeing it, a smile couldn't help but appear on my face.

I had kept this hollow space as my target and had been forcing myself to dig reach here, and now that I did, I could finally stop.

I put back my sword and slumped on the ground tiredly. My whole body is sweaty, and I feel drained and do not want to lift even a finger; if not necessary to survive, I would even deactivate the Inheritance armor I am wearing.

Half an hour later, I finally moved from the spot. I did the first thing to create the obstacle on the way I dug, placing all stones I had stored in my storage before opening my abode in hollowed space.

The hollowed space is quite big; the abode will be double the size of the last night. I went inside the abode, and the first thing I did was shower, and after Ive done with that, I started to make dinner.

The dinner was delicious as always, and after I ate it, I slept and woken up directly in the morning. This is a hollowed space with only one entrance, and with the number of sensors I put in the cave, there was no need to keep a watch.

After the shower and eating the last night's leftovers, I once again started digging with my sword. It is tedious, tiring work, but I have to do it to gain something.

I have come to this Ruin in the blind hope that I will find the thing I need.

Soon afternoon came, and I became dead tired as yesterday and just wanted to rest, but I kept going, resting means wasting precious time I had in this Ruin, and I don't want that.

Radiant Grove is not the only place I have to explore; there are some other places too and not to forget the Gigantic Crown Tree, which's every part is a treasure.

I want to try the Crown Tree, but it is extremely dangerouns. I could only think about going there if I became Duke and have sufficient power; I will not go there without it.
