But the mutation monster not only showed no sign of weakening, it actually started laughing grotesquely, “Wa ga ga, a master! A true master!”

While saying this, it also limped its way forward, charging again.

…

“What a nuisance.”

If it were only this mutation monster, Leonard Churchill thought he could eventually wear it down and kill it.

But in the brief exchange between the two, he had heard at least three other abnormal noises within the surrounding mine tunnels.

None of the mutated miners on the sixth level of the mine were easy to deal with.

Leonard did not dare to keep dragging the fight on, he transformed his legs into four limbs, and with wolf claws, he rapidly climbed the rock walls, darting deep into the depths of the cave.

It was fortunate that he made a decisive retreat.

Almost as he fled, several oddly-shaped mutated miners emerged from other tunnels and blocked the area where he just was.

Watching Leonard escape, four or five monsters pursued him relentlessly.

Luckily, although these madmen had considerable combat power, in terms of the agility attribute, they fell far behind Leonard’s werewolf transformation.

He ran wildly, and before long, the noise behind him had faded away.

However, at this moment, Leonard realized something else.

The monsters may not have just been unable to catch up, but rather, he might have ventured into an extremely dangerous place.

In this mine, there were no clear boundaries between “levels,” just tunnels dug by miners and natural salt fissures.

The different rock layers were then roughly categorized by levels of contamination.

Sensing the intensity of the contamination around him, Leonard believed he might be in the legendary “seventh level.”

…

The information he had gotten before was that the creatures in this mine generally did not attack humans on their own.

The long-armed madman that attacked Leonard earlier did so probably because he had entered their “territory.”

The ones that followed did so because Leonard guessed they were sensitive to certain “malice,” “killing intention,” and similar Mental Power fluctuations, and that’s why they chased him.

The negative Mental Power here was filled with an abundance of slaughter and violence, which could quickly drag down anyone who relaxed, even slightly, into a rapid descent into strong contamination.

“If it’s the seventh level, it should be the limit…”

Leonard observed his surroundings and without waiting long, his nerves began to sting from the contamination.

He had only walked a few steps when he saw some heavily mutated human skeletons in a corner.

Upon examination, the bones were as tough as iron, with a faint jade hue; they clearly belonged to the skeletons of high-order card masters.

He could no longer see or sense the presence of any living beings nearby.

“…”

Looking at the deep mine tunnel, Leonard was no longer certain he could find anything.

It seemed almost impossible to investigate the Contamination Source.

Going further, he wasn’t sure he could avoid mental contamination and mutation.

Thinking that he had already come this far, he drank another swig of an elixir to clear his mind and activated “Void Moon Mind” to shield his consciousness. He decided to walk a bit further inside.

After just a few steps, he saw some engravings on the rock wall.

At a cursory glance, they were pieces of martial skills and spells.

They seemed to be insights etched by the mutation madmen.

These inscriptions were treasures.

If he were to extract and bring them out, they would undoubtedly be considered “high-tier secret manuals.”

However, given the addictive nature of the martial skills here, having suffered a loss before, Leonard did not dare to focus on them.

Thinking that if he found nothing else, he would strip them off when leaving to slowly study them back on the surface.

Leonard continued on his way.

Approximately a hundred meters further in the incredibly difficult terrain, he suddenly stopped.

Because at this moment, he had reached the end of the road.

There was a vast space ahead.

In the center, there was an endless black hole.

Leonard looked, and it seemed like a bottomless pit, completely void of anything visible.

But it was like standing at a volcano crater; the “scorching” heat was already becoming unbearable.

The mental pollution billowing out from the black hole was so dense that Leonard felt like waves were smashing against his face, causing his entire soul to flutter.

“Is this the Contamination Source?”

Leonard looked into the black abyss, and involuntarily swallowed.

Even with his mental perception completely shielded, this was already more than he could handle.

Who knew how deep the pit below the crater was.

He glanced around the pit and felt disappointed.

He didn’t see any living people, not even mutation monsters.

Only in a corner, there were a few skeletons.

“Not here…”

Leonard was already considering retreating.

He had come here looking for the legendary “predecessor.”

But now it seemed, there were no living beings at all.

There were many crystals on the ground, and Leonard casually picked up a few of the best ones, then turned to leave.

But a glance at the likewise inscribed rock walls caught his attention again.

…

If they were just fragments of martial skills, Leonard would definitely not have given them a second look.

But on one section of the rock wall, he saw a narrative relief depicting a great battle.

The craftsmanship was starkly different from other inscriptions; this section was clearly the work of a master—not only was it meticulously detailed and exquisitely lifelike, but it was also colored.

This was often seen in ancient relics.

Usually, it was to record events that happened before the existence of the relics.

This mural was no different.

It depicted a group of knights in armor, led by a woman in a bright red ceremonial robe, surrounding and attacking a winged… angel?

“What’s going on?”

Seeing this content, Leonard immediately realized that this might well be the reason for the formation of this mine.

But that wasn’t what surprised him.

The surprise was the appearance of the person in the red robe!
