Walking in the silent mausoleum, Sylutia could hear the sound of the soles of his feet and the subtle sound of the friction of his clothes.

She looked around. The passage here was engraved with a uniform pattern, and the style looked like a product of Eighth Era.

An abstract pattern in the shape of an animal, roughly square in outline, filled with bricks, closely arranged one by one, repeating itself in the passage with no end in sight.

After walking for a while, a fork appears in front of Sylutia, but this is not the point. The point is that the fork has a special pattern indicating it.

One side depicts [Sword] and the other side depicts [Book].

Do you have to choose by yourself? Sylutia thought to himself.

Then choose [books], she prefers knowledge. As for the force or weapon symbolized by the sword, it may not be able to be preserved after so many years.

Soon after walking to one side, a small room appeared in the passage ahead, which was similar in size to an enlarged cube. There was a square stone platform in this room, and an ancient card was sealed on the stone platform.

Walking over, Sylutia came to the stone platform and carefully observed this card.

It is made of special dark yellow leather paper, with a pattern border painted with old pigments. On the card surface, an arm clenches a fist, and blood-colored meridians appear on the wrist.

[Seal Card·Killing Fist](Blood Law); can enhance the strength and lethality of the fist. (Other information needs further exploration)

Can this card... be taken out and taken away? Sylutia thought, touching it carefully with his hands.

As if sensing the breath of other lives, there seemed to be invisible tiny flames spreading on the card. The originally yellowed and old card surface suddenly became bright and restored to its former color.

And it made a faint call, seeming to expect Sylutia to absorb it into its body.

He tilted his head and looked at the card. Sylutia checked it repeatedly, but it still didn't absorb it. Instead, he summoned [Lion-Headed Monster] that was sealed yesterday.

After this Lion-headed beast with beast feet came out, it was still a little dissatisfied with Sylutia and tried to attack her. However, the four long knives in its hands had already been confiscated by Sylutia, so it could only punch her.

In the room, Sylutia jumped back to dodge, and Lion-Headed Monster also touched the card while chasing.

It didn't hesitate, and directly absorbed the card. Then the same blood veins appeared on its wrist, and its fists became particularly fierce and sharp.

During a punch, Sylutia avoided it, and the fist directly hit the stone wall behind the girl. The stone wall of Sturdiness was directly punched into a cracked pit, and the cracks spread along the wall.

In the next few attacks, its fists became faster and faster, and their power was no less powerful than the previous attacks with animal bone swords.

During these several back and forths, Sylutia also slowly figured out the role of that [Killing Fist].

[Killing Fist](Blood Law); Change the blood vessels of the arms and fists to form natural power burst lines, enhance the lethality of the fists, and make the fists and arms stronger. (The increased power is affected by the strength of the body, the stronger the body, the greater the increase)

This ability is much better than the ordinary "power burst", and is more concentrated, more powerful, and also has a certain degree of protection.

After understanding it, Sylutia no longer hesitated, light flashed in his eyes, and several invisible chains stretched out from the void, binding Lion-Headed Monster layer by layer, then resealed it, and extracted the [Killing Fist] it had just absorbed.

Turning over and observing the blood-red card in his hand, it seems that there is no danger, Sylutia thought to himself, and then placed it into his own Fate Disk.

A strange feeling spread across her wrists, backs of hands, and fingertips, and then she saw strange blood-red veins appearing on her wrists. Such blood-colored silk veins were like the winter plum blossoms in winter snow, which contrasted sharply with the surrounding white skin, giving the girl a somewhat enchanting charm.

Clenching her fingers and bending them into fists, the girl tried to swing them. A reliable feeling like steel Sturdiness spread from her fists and wrists. She aimed at a brick and swung it, breaking it easily.

After releasing his fist, Sylutia held a brick, slowly crushed it, and watched the stone brick powder fall.

There is no mechanism, it is a pure numerical enhancement, but it integrates offense and defense, is exceptionally beautiful, and is an ability that can receive excellent evaluations.

Continuing to walk forward, Sylutia saw a closed room in front, with an animal head pattern engraved on the door.

As she approached, the door of the stone room opened, and the three wolf-shaped stone statues sleeping inside came to life, let out a low roar, and then rushed towards Sylutia.

[Stone Statue Wolf] (Level 2·Beast Fang); A resurrected beast with a stone-like body.

Each Dire Wolf has the same height as Sylutia, and its stone-like body is especially Sturdiness. If it were an ordinary sword, it would be difficult to split it.

Facing the incoming Dire Wolf, Sylutia avoided one of the attacks, then attacked with his fist, crushing the wolf's lower back.

Some rocks shattered and fell, but the stone-bodied Dire Wolf was not dead. After adjusting for a while, it and its companions pounced over again.

Shaking his head, Sylutia no longer dodges, but uses his newly acquired ability to directly blast one of them to pieces, then grabs one of the Dire Wolfs and throws it out, knocking the remaining one away.

After several rounds, the three Dire Wolf turned into stones on the ground and shattered into pieces, and the crystal gems hidden in their bodies also rolled out.

[Black Bone Crystal] (Level 2·Good); A crystal that can control the skeleton, often used to make puppets.

Picking up these three "Black Bone Crystal", Sylutia was thoughtful.

The maze here is like a dungeon game from a previous life, with each room offering different rewards.

However, who designed this place and for what purpose? You can only find out by continuing to walk.

Then she continued walking deeper into Mausoleum.

Mausoleum On the other side of the maze, the monster room.

A red-haired young man held a thin long sword and fought against the black stone lion that was pressing on him. The opponent's teeth clenched the blocking blade. If the blade was broken, the young man would probably have his throat bitten by the stone Lion on the spot.

In order to survive, he kept struggling. At this time, he grabbed a clay pot from his waist and smashed it. A special red beetle flew out of it.

The beetle buzzed and got into the young man's mouth. Then his expression became Distortion painful, and strange lines appeared on his body, like insect limbs.

Soon, he roared and pushed back the sword blade, pulled the blade out from Lion's mouth, then turned around and slashed, the Sharpness metal blade turned in a large circle in the air, and hit the stone lion's back hard.

The sparks shattered and the sword blade broke. Then he held the hilt of the sword and continued to insert it into Lion's back. Then he hugged Lion's back, kept swinging the hilt of the sword, and stabbed the opponent's body with the broken sword until the stone Lion died and fell to the ground and turned into broken stones.
