At that moment, a large area near the gate was a complete mess!
Everywhere had been wrecked by the explosion. Even several Stone Pillars near the gate had been blown apart. The force of the blast had been immense. Though the Stone Pillars were thick, they could not withstand such an impact and were snapped cleanly in half.
After being struck by the metal chunks formed from the gate panels, the ground looked like the surface of the moon, riddled with craters.
Fortunately, although the Stone Pillars had been broken, the Great Hall had not collapsed. Perhaps those pillars had merely been decorative, or perhaps they were not load-bearing pillars, so their destruction did not matter much.
Amid a rumble, the broken Stone Pillars could not escape their fate. Their upper halves toppled over, and dust filled the Great Hall once more.
Seeing this, Yam had no choice but to act again and clear away the dust spreading through the Great Hall.
Only after everything had fallen silent did everyone cautiously begin observing their surroundings.
There was not much to see in the Great Hall anymore. Too much of it had been destroyed. Some Metal Monster bodies had even been embedded directly into the Stone Pillars and the ground.
The sight made Chen Mo's heart ache. What a damn waste.
The gate they had previously tried but failed to open was now blocked by a huge pile of debris. Looking farther ahead through the ruined opening, they saw a dark doorway. Though the doorway was large, its interior was pitch black, without a trace of light.
It seemed there were no windows inside, which was why it was so dark.
To ensure no danger arose, Tina had everyone remain where they were and rest properly. They would continue onward once
