"Go!" Kirk yanked the control lever all the way down.
The mine cart began racing along the blue-lit Invisible Heavenly Steps.
Soon, its speed reached 140 kilometers per hour.
But Kirk could feel the powerful threat closing in, step by step!
For a threat to make Kirk, a powerful and confident Conqueror, so wary, its strength had to surpass that of an ordinary Conqueror.
Kirk was secretly glad he had agreed to Babol Ironhammer's deal earlier. Otherwise, the team would already have been forced to fight a powerful enemy charging toward them along these narrow rails.
Babol had said that on the Invisible Heavenly Steps, mine carts authorized by him could travel freely, but any other intruders would be attacked by forbidden spells.
The longer the powerful enemy behind them followed, the more forbidden spells it would face. Kirk had great faith in the spells that had severely wounded Little Fatty with a single strike.
He was also deeply curious about Babol Ironhammer, the Dwarf King who had built this place, so full of danger.

Unfortunately, the Dwarf King valued wealth just as much as the goblins did. And unlike them, he wielded powerful runic magic!
Countless forbidden spells, traps, and golems had left the expedition barely able to uncover a few precious documents
