Entering the Ruins, Titan's Hammer

Following the passage into the base, the first thing that met their eyes was an enormous plaza.

Richard estimated that this plaza was roughly the size of a small town.

But considering the Titans' colossal bodies, a plaza this large was perfectly normal.

Above the plaza floated a blue fireball, which appeared to be the same thing as the Automatic Fortresses outside.

However, this fortress had not been eroded by this dimension's special rules and would not actively hunt flesh-and-blood creatures.

At the edges of the plaza stood three pitch-black doors, each corresponding to one side of the plaza.

Richard's spiritual power surged forth as he tried to probe the structures beyond them, only to receive utter darkness in return.

"Hmm? Could they be Teleportation Gates?"

Richard frowned and tried to send his spiritual power into the metal floor beneath his feet. But once it entered the floor, it was as though it had sunk into a mass of glue. After struggling for quite some time, it had only penetrated the slightest bit.

"A material that blocks spiritual probing? How extravagant." Richard muttered to himself.

Richard was a Five-Ring Great Wizard. There were only a handful of materials capable of stopping his spiritual power, yet in this base, such material had been used directly as floor tiles.

It could not be called anything but extravagance.

"Should we split up and take a look?" Richard said to Ulysses. "There shouldn't be much danger inside this base. Exploring separately will be more efficient."

"Caw, works for me."

Ulysses was also a visitor
