A little light lit up the pitch-black cave.
Frank kept his guard up and stared intently at the wall. As expected, they were ancient runes, but they
werenât as complicated as he initially expected. Astor could handle them easily on his professional
level, but he had neither Chi nor a cultivation base now. In that past, he could mobilize the spell
formation and open the stone door by making a seal with his hands.

Astor

At the moment, in order to do that, he had to move his position with the help of the runes.
Whoosh!
The sound of monsters crawling ahead could be heard. Sure enough, the sound created by Maximilia
had attracted the monsters.
When Frank glanced back amidst the commotion, he was shocked. It turned out to be three enormous
mutant crocodiles with open mouths as huge as small boats. In this pitch-black environment, their eyes
had degenerated, and their eyeballs were covered. They differentiated directions by relying on sounds.
Frank
Alex
At that moment, Maximilia could only make a move. She rushed forward to fight the three enormous
crocodiles alone.
Powerless, Frank couldnât help but feel anxious from the sidelines⦠Furthermore, he could see nothing
and could only hear. Astor was vastly experienced in combat, though, able to differentiate positions.
Astor could tell that Maximilia was in a tough battle just by hearing the sounds. Astor even heard the
sound of Maximiliaâs clothes being torn.

Astor did not know if she was injured.

âNo! We will perish in the crocodilesâ bellies at this rate!â Frank thought of a way.

Astor picked up two stones on the ground-cobblestones. Astor saw them just now. Then, he created
sparks by knocking the stones together.

They werenât as bright as Maximiliaâs sparks, but they helped her recover a bit of visibility. The tide
would turn with just that little bit.
Boom!
Maximilia stood in front of Frank and battled the enormous crocodiles. She fought for a full ten minutes
before finally, the three crocodiles were killed.
Frank
Alex
After that, she collapsed from exhaustion. Several wounds were also visible on her body. If she had not
protected Abraham, she would have moved and dodged them. However, she was unable to retreat
under current circumstances. Unable to dodge, she couldnât help but confront them head-on.
Abraham,
Alex,
Frank also knew about that situation, but there was nothing he could do, and he could only feel sorry
for her.
Frank
Alex
âI think these three crocodiles are a little different. They may have mutated. There may be demonic
cores or demonic pills in their bodies. Some of these things will emit light and can be used as lighting,â
said Frank.
Frank
Alex
Clank!
Maximilia gave a dagger to Frank.
Frank
Alex
Frank took the dagger and gave it a try. Eventually, he sighed helplessly.
Frank
Alex
âSorry. I canât cut through.â
Astor couldnât even pierce crocodile skin.
Astor
He
âIâll do it!â
Subsequently, Maximilia disemboweled the three crocodiles. She dug out a glittering white bead that
was slightly bigger than a quailâs egg from the third crocodileâs body.
It was a demonic pill. They could see nearby things around them with that demonic pill, akin to lighting
a very dim lamp.
âYouâre injured!â Frank looked at Maximilia.
Frank
Alex
âIâm fine. You should break the formation first.â
Frank shook his head. âIâm in no hurry to do that. You should treat your injuries first. In case danger
shows up after opening the door, you will have the strength to deal with it. â
Frank
Alex
Maximilia agreed after thinking about it. She gave the demonic pill to Frank with a sweeping glance at
his body. She suddenly reached out to his groin and flicked it hard. âHmph! You were harboring
indecent thoughts.â
Frank
Alex
Frank almost screamed, âHow could I not? I became like this because I was overthinking.â
Frank
Alex
Astor scrambled to find his clothes.
