Deep inside the outpost station, the place where the supplies were supposed to be stored had turned into a giant crater without anyone knowing.
The giant crater didn't just swallow the storeroom, it even shattered the ground of the entire outpost station.
Esik in his long robe was walking down the rope with a relaxed expression.
Although his body wasn't young anymore, such a simple task wasn't a problem for him, let alone he was in a very safe place.
"How did his lordship do this?
What was the darkness before?
And the crater here … "
Doubts filled Esik's heart when he thought about Darde's orders.
However, because of the doubts, it gave Esik more motivation to complete the mission Darde assigned him.
Other than satisfying his curiosity, it would also be a generous reward.
When he thought about how he would soon be able to regain his youthful and energetic body, Ashik's movements became faster and faster.
When Esik's feet landed on the ground, the oil lamp that he prepared was lit up.
Under the weak light, the weird-shaped rocks in the underground crater and the damp ground were imprinted on Esik's ground.
At the same time, a faint stench also entered Esik's nose.
He covered his nose and mouth with his hand.
Esik followed Darde's instructions and headed towards the source of the stench.
The stench swiftly turned from faint to dense.
Even with his hand covering his nose and mouth, Esik couldn't stop himself from retching.
The stench was too stinky.
Esik swore that even the rotting bodies in the cellar didn't have such a stench. However, soon enough, the stench swiftly faded away.
When Esik followed the stench and moved forward for around 30 meters, the stench completely vanished.
Before his eyes was a complicated magic circle. A single glance from a common man would cause dizziness.
The most eye-catching part was the core of the magic circle.
A pitch-black jar was placed there.
Under the light from the oil lamp, the black pot had a metallic reflection.
"Found it!
It's this! "
Esik held back his excitement and took out a scroll from his pocket. He carefully tore it open and the light that came out from the scroll enveloped his body completely before he walked into the magic circle.
It was the defensive measure that Darde gave him.
Only with this layer of protection could one avoid being injured by the Magic Array.
Ashik approached the black pot step by step with his protective gear.
Ashek's eyes were fixed on his target.
Therefore, he did not notice the subtle changes in the magic array.
As a matter of fact, when Ashik tore the scroll, the changes started.
However, after Ashik walked into the magic array, the changes began to accelerate.
The transformation was complete when Ashek walked to the black jar and picked it up.
The darkness that was even deeper than the darkness in front of him rose from the pitch-black surface of the jar like smoke and mist, instantly turning into a shadow monster with claws, a head, and a torso that was twice the size of a normal person.
The monster opened its mouth and let out a series of laughter.
It was ear-piercing and fatal.
The moment Esik heard this laughter, his eyeballs shattered, his ears bled, and he lost all signs of life.
Until his death, Esiko didn't understand why the protection Darde gave him didn't work.
That was because the scroll didn't contain any sort of protection, but —
Fuuu!
Following Esiko's death, the light that came out from the scroll swiftly fused into his body.
Then, Esiko's body expanded like a balloon.
From a normal person, he grew to around 3 meters tall before stopping.
Then, Giantified Esiko climbed up.
He used his broken eyes, or more precisely, his eye sockets to stare at the shadow monster.
Although Giantified Esiko was a size smaller than the shadow monster, the aura that burst out from his body wasn't inferior at all.
The barbaric and ruthless aura was like a typhoon blowing across the entire underground cave.
The smaller pebbles were blown into the air.
The strange pebbles that weren't sturdy enough were blown into pieces.
However, the shadow monster that resembled smoke and mist wasn't blown away at all. Amidst the strange and gloomy aura, it was like a solid piece of thousand-year-old ice.
The laughter sounded again.
It was even more ear-piercing and deadly than the previous one.
Waves after waves of energy ripples were launched towards Giantified Esiko like the ripples on the surface of a lake.
Puk Puk Puk!
Giantified Esiko's flesh and blood instantly burst out, blood gushed out like a fountain and the wounds were deep enough to see the bones.
However, Giantified Esiko didn't care about the wounds at all, he even laughed out loud.
"Hahahaha!
"I knew you would leave something behind in these places."
They will be the clues that will lead me to you. "
The laughter was rough and powerful, it wasn't Esiko's voice but Darde's.
Darde who was known as the Giantified Giant borrowed Esiko's body and laughed along with his laughter.
The shadow monster, however, turned a deaf ear.
All it did was amplify the sound wave attack.
"Although it's just a useless shell, I won't be willing to let you destroy it like this — the shadow you left behind must be delicious right?
"I can't wait to have a taste!"
Darde who borrowed Esiko's body threw himself at the shadow monster with a laugh.
The shadow monster didn't even know how to dodge.
Darde who borrowed Esiko's body bit down on the shadow monster's body like he was sucking liquid food, Darde sucked and swallowed ceaselessly.
The shadow monster's body was shrinking at an exponential speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, a gloomy and cold energy started to appear in the shadow monster's body.
"Still trying to fight back?
Come on! Come on!
I don't mind tasting stronger 'food'! "
Darde said in a muffled voice as he bit down on the shadow monster's body.
"Food?
You never understood who is the real food! "
A sudden voice sounded from the shadow monster.
Then, the shadow monster that was originally a mist exploded and turned into a thin mist, wrapping Darde inside Esiko's body.
"Hahahaha!
This kind of 'gathering' isn't bad either!
Let's see who can eat who first! "
Darde continued to laugh.
The smoke that the shadowy monster had turned into continued flowing until a voice was heard.
"Gathering?
Sounds great, count me in, what do you think? "
The voice sounded and the sword arrived.
