Bang!
Bang!
With every step the Giant Magic Box Monster took on its golden legs, the ground shook violently, and the vast metal plaza collapsed even faster.
It was as if the entire Mechanical Heart was trembling and swaying.
This was not merely a physical collapse, but the awakening of an ancient law.
In Dago's data-filled eyes were reflected endlessly collapsing geometric planes.
Every falling metal slab spoke of the precision and cruelty of this ruin's defensive mechanisms.
From a wizard's perspective, this was no ordinary disaster.
This was the signal that a "hunting ground" had opened.
