The [Source Chamber] had been blasted beyond recognition.
Ah Xiruo casually picked up a fragment of flooring from the ground. A few messy rune formulas could still be vaguely seen on it... After taking one look, she casually tossed the fragment back onto the ground.
"So it really is gone..." Ah Xiruo muttered to herself.
The entire [Source Chamber] had actually been peeled out at the very end by little Mimi.
Naturally, it couldn't leave behind such a hidden danger in the maze—it had to ensure that it was the only "key."

"...So why did you turn into this?"
The True Dragon of Shenzhou squinted at little Mimi, looking extremely unaccustomed to it. After peeling away most of its body, the thing had actually changed its appearance.
It had become a petite, white-haired, baby-faced cutie with huge eyes.
"Because growing a mouth makes speaking more convenient. Miss Long, do you think I look all right?"
