Kuuuuung—!!!

The moment my fist struck the ground, the floor collapsed in an instant.

The sheer force played a role, but as I felt the ground crumbling beneath my touch, I was certain—

‘The foundation is weak.’

It wasn’t solid. Almost as if nothing was supporting it from below.

Boom! Boom-boom—!!!

I continued striking, and each hit shattered whatever it touched.

Of course, my strength had increased, but beyond that, this place was unusually fragile.

I kept breaking and breaking.

Just in case, I sealed off my energy field to prevent the vibrations and noise from spreading.

After smashing away for a while—

Crack—!

"Oh."

The ground gave way, revealing a space below. When I landed, I found a staircase leading downward.

I ignited a small flame and sent it flickering up the stairs.

The twisted, tangled structure made it impossible to tell where the starting point was.

After confirming that, I looked up to check the hole I had come through.@@novelbin@@

‘I’ve descended quite a bit.’

It seemed I had gone deeper than I expected.

Brushing off the stone fragments clinging to my hands, I examined both ends of the staircase.

Going back up didn’t seem like an option. Naturally, I chose to keep descending.

*********

I kept descending the stairs.

The path seemed endless, a suffocating sensation creeping over me.

For a moment, I considered just breaking through and dropping down. But since I had already found a path, I convinced myself it was better to endure and continued walking.

At least I had something to think about as I walked.

And that was none other than my battle with Yusa.
