Blackened blood trickled down the carriage steps as Veronie kicked the humanoid monster off the sleeping mat.
"It's nothing special."
Veronie clenched her palm. The metal wire spool clasped to the back of her hand spun rapidly. It contained at least a hundred precision gears, and the power of eternity made them even sturdier.

Looking closely, she saw a humanoid monster pinned to the ground by a four-meter-long magma spear. The spear emitted a
