The shattered stones and bones on the ground were swept into the air by the impact, leaving large swathes of charred scorch marks on the rock walls lining both sides of the passage.
The heat of the metal seeped through the gauntlet into her palm.
The blazing heat wave licked at her armor, the searing temperature seeming ready to bake her lungs dry.
Fortunately, the protection of the sacred energy field and the shield's defense had offset the lethal explosion.
The firelight had not yet fully faded.
Whoosh—without needing her command.
Feyn's arrow was already aimed at the massive figure that had suddenly appeared on the rocky path along the distant wall.
It was a Two-Headed Ogre, even more massive than the chain fighter. It charged down the path without even trying to dodge.
Smack.
The arrowhead struck the layer of Thick Skin covered in dark red patterns on its chest. After a crisp sound, it snapped and fell, failing to leave even a white mark.

A silver-white electric serpent shot from the Staff Head, tearing through the dim air as it flew straight for the more expressive head on the right.
Hiss-boom!
A strange roar exploded against He Xi's eardrums.
That sound—

Rumble—!!
The rock slab shattered beneath the impact, dirt and gravel bursting in every direction.
