"Phew, these glittering water-element crystals really did look beautiful. But didn't a beautiful mine only prove that I was, in fact, a miner? The beautiful Ice and Snow Fairies on the Ink-Blue Moon were fake, but me coming here to mine was real... What a tragic fact."
Holding a long-handled lance that still gleamed with golden light amid the wild blizzard, the Morningstar Knight standing at the edge of the enormous pit shook his head as he mocked himself, then leaped directly into the ten-kilometer-deep chasm. Only when the howling freezing currents had wrapped around the Mad Knight's body and spiraled endlessly through the abyss did Kane suddenly twist around and thrust his lance toward the ground at the very bottom.
Boom!
Another deafening roar erupted as explosive battle qi tore apart another massive section of Gaal's crust, which was harder than diamond. Great clumps of water-element crystals were ripped from their original positions, while even more azure-glowing crystals were swept up by deliberately controlled energy and flung out of the deep pit.
Jokes were jokes, and displeasure was displeasure, but mining still had to be done. Gaal's strata were not exactly fragile, yet they were truly quite sturdy. After all, their radius of tens of millions of meters served as a barrier against intruders, while the deep water-element crystals had formed, under the dual effects of magic and gravity, a super barrier with a density comparable to a quark star and laws so stagnant and sluggish that even Kane could not simply dig through it with one or two thrusts of his lance.
Therefore, before arriving on this ink-blue moon, the unusually patient "Instant Kill Spear" had already prepared himself to spend a great deal of time battling Gaal's geological structure. His complaints were merely the self-mocking ramblings of
