Chapter 55 – King of the underground (6)
The worker saw things differently. He tried to resist Scarlett’s pull and started shrieking: “Let me go…… And both of you should run too! These things are incredibly tough, and blades can’t cut through them!”
He saw his partners smash their mining picks repeatedly on the creatures, but even when they used their full strength, they left only slight impressions on their bodies.
And when these creatures attacked, their claws easily smashed a person’s body to a pulp. It was a nightmarish scene that he could still recall viscera splattering onto the walls and ground.

Brendel swung his sword seemingly in a light, elegant stroke through thin air, yet the panther that was still a distance away from him was sliced into two. That was still not the end, as its split body smashed against the wall, and shattered into pieces.
The worker was completely flabbergasted.

He thought that he had gone to the wrong alley or he somehow triggered a magic spell when he entered it.

“Lass, what are you doing?” He asked.
“Excuse me, old mister, but it looks like this bedsheet is too short—” Came the reply.
