The place is as big as a plaza. This area can fit a few hundred trucks and the height is as tall as an above average building. And the only thing that fills this place is none other than the Night Skunkweeds and other stones sturdy enough to crash against a monster truck at full speed without even shattering into pieces. So there’s no way for any monsters to enter this place and add up to the pile of conflicts we already have. That I’m sure of it. Farther from us is another opening leading to another place. And based on my map, the location ahead is quite similar to this terrain… But there are landmarks that are elevated, and an abyssal hole below ground, indicating that some ground has fissures. Further investigation of these tracks has led me to speculate that once we fall there, we will never get ourselves back up. That is the only other exit besides the one we have entered in. The land onward is a tricky road. But if we want to isolate these Terra Golems away from Prince Faela

“So let me sum up your plan, Kuro… Basically, we go after the Terra Golem’s legs, specifically one leg - but it would be better for us to choose one part, so it would be the right one -, and hope they will crack. And if it creates a fissure, we will store the severed limb in our inventory and push the golem away, hoping it would fall. Is that right, Kuro?”“But what happened to the headshots, Kuro? Is it not the Terra Golem’s weakness at the head? Or am I seeing things differently?” Chloe adds. “Well, technically, most of our enemies would have a weakness found on their heads. The same can be said to the golems, since the head should be the most fragile part of those stone statues compared to its other body part. But… That doesn’t mean we have to aim our guns and bullets in that direction. We can compromise and change course, since defeating the Terra Golems at its head won’t cut it. It would be if we only had better guns. But not this time. Maybe we can spam grenades at its head, ho

And that is one minute. As soon as Chloe notices that these Terra Golems are keeping up the pace, she will run backward once again. The princess climbs towards one platform onto the other, hoping she can somehow create a distance between us and the Terra Golems.Woefully, these scumbags of a monster are faster than any other creatures we have faced. The moment Chloe turns her back around, the Terra Golems are already catching up, and are almost a few yards away from where we are. So instead of using the sniper, Chloe switches to me with a rifle and pulls the trigger. Despite the panic inducing situation, Chloe still manages to aim at me, her gun, properly and hits those limbs of the Terra Golems.Chloe does this for a few too many times until the Terra Golems are only a few feet away. The princess then swaps me with an SMG, the UMP-45, and wreaks havoc against our targets, still desperately trying to aim for the Terra Golem’s legs. But this time, most of her bullets missed.All these

Within a few minutes ,those Terra Golems fall to their demise before they can even do anything. Chloe and I watch these Terra Golems dive into the abyss, and not a splatter echoes in the setting. The two somewhat healthy Terra Golems also watch their comrade die because of us. Once these monsters have registered inside their heads that their friend has died, their heads shift back to us. And their eyes glow into a hellish vermillion. These creatures are not capable of vengeance and feeling other emotions. But they have realised that we are a force to be reckoned with. So they increase their speed and end up right in front of us. When the Terra Golem reaches its head in our direction, Chloe jolts upward, dodging it in the nick of time. If she hasn’t this would’ve been our end too. There are only a few platforms for Chloe to jump on. So she continues leaping to one platform into the other and doesn’t attack the Terra Golems chasing behind us. There isn’t time for Chloe to do that. And

Just like what Prince Faelar has warned, we sprint as fast as our little legs can and eventually arrive at the gate. We don’t know what is chasing us thanks to the pitch black place. The only light we have inside is the system flashing a faint luminance from its window. But since we are dashing for our lives, we have triggered hundreds of traps. And I’m surprised we are still alive right now.But everything is in the past. Right now, all we want to know is… what the hell is even this Acemome plant that is so valuable to the point we have to risk our lives. And if this is truly priceless, why did we pluck this herb out from its home? Chleo and I share the same question. I don’t know why, but we have this feeling that we may have goofed the legendary herb, which is supposedly living its peaceful life inside this holy sanctuary. And we just have to take it away.“Now… Can we have those answers, Prince Faelar?” I mutter. If only I had a face, maybe I would’ve already stared at Prince Fael
