As they entered this new chamber, Cale's eyes widened.
"'Hahaha, there it is!'" he shouted in joy.
There was a massive pile before them — tens of artifacts, alongside glittering spiritual stones and numerous monster cores. The accumulated wealth of ages lay scattered like discarded trinkets.
"Hehe... we sure hit it big!" Sesrir laughed as well, his voice filled with the excitement only an adventurer could experience at such a sight.
Suddenly, Cale felt a presence.
Sesrir felt it too.
Both of them took a leap backward, weapons summoned instantly into their hands.
"Who is it? Is it one of them?" Cale asked, was it one of those who entered behind them?
"No, it's not... rather, it's a very strong entity! I... I can't even pinpoint who..." Sesrir's confidence replaced with a bit of uncertainty.
Cale's brows twitched. Could it be him — the Sea Serpent King himself? There was a thin chance of him being here in the core, but still... there was a chance.
