Chapter 50: Gargoyle
A few hours earlier...
After finishing absorbing a total of three Bronze 1 and three Bronze 2 golem mana cores, Lian began Geometric Meditation.
He had managed to draw several lines, but fewer than he had expected. After completing it, he also practiced Geometric Cultivation, advancing, to his surprise, to Iron 3, a significant boost to his physical prowess.
After finishing all this, filled with energy and arrogance from his recent improvement, Lian began exploring the rocky environment with renewed determination.
"Fortunately, we ate before coming to this place, or I would have died of hunger by now..." he murmured, thinking of Seline and Freddy. "I wonder how those two are doing..."
Lian was very worried about them, especially Seline. After all, she was... weak, to say the least. Her talent allowed her to face stronger monsters, sure, but only to a limited extent.
Lian could not help but think about it as he continued wandering, hoping to meet her.
A lot of time had passed since he entered this Gate. Fatigue was setting in, but it was manageable.
After wandering for a while and destroying other isolated golems, something appeared in Lian’s view.
After the sighting of the muscular elephant-like monster earlier, Lian had developed the habit of positioning himself on higher ground for a better view of the surroundings.
And while he was on one of these rocky hills, something caught his attention.
"A building?" he whispered doubtfully. It was too far to make out clearly, but he knew it was a structure situated in the center of a relatively flat area, with rocks scattered everywhere.
