"On which passage did you find the silicon-based creatures?" Rowan asked one of his men.
"Sir, it's the one on the left. We put a marking on it, so we'll know."
"Yes, sir. A few of us saw that creature that day. It was a brownish-yellow thing with eyes that glistened in the dim light. It was frightening! When it spotted us, it ran away into this passage. Afterward, we stationed guards here for all twenty-four hours of the day, but it never came out again," one of Rowan's men added.
"Okay, let's go into this passage then."
After saying that, Rowan, followed closely by Darren, led the twenty warriors into the underground passage.
"Look! I think something's there!"
After about four hours, the group had traveled deep underground.
They had been quiet for some time, but the silence was broken with a shout. It seemed that someone had spotted a creature in a deeper part of the passage.
At the same time, Darren and Rowan also sensed the breath of life with their god's sense.
They both noticed it at the same time. In the dark passageway, there was a dark brown creature hiding in the cave, trembling.
"Go to hell!"
Without any hesitation, Rowan immediately let loose a wisp of his god's power, piercing through the creature's head.
It was too dim in the passage. Thus, they couldn't see the figure clearly, not until the god's power was a small distance away from it. It resembled a mouse, although it was, obviously, so much larger.
"Cut open its belly and take out the metal pill," ordered Rowan at once.
One of his men stepped forward and slashed at the silicon-based mouse's stomach.
Clang!

id Darren with an icy glare. "Boy, you really aren't taking me seriously. You're going too far."
Darren's words seemed to infuriate Rowan. He narrowed his eyes at the other man and declared, "Since you insist on being so stupid, I won't be polite. I'll take all the grade-four metal pills!"
Whoosh!
After saying that, he flew towards where the six metal balls were floating.
"What?" Darren was surprised to see him go. He thought to himself, 'It seems like he's not aware of the danger in that place. He wasn't sending me there on purpose!'
"No! Rowan, get out of there!" All of Darren's muscles coiled in tension as he realized that the other man would be caught unaware by the danger that lurked beneath the magma.
Unfortunately, Rowan didn't listen to his warnings at all.
The next moment, a red palm suddenly emerged from the magma pool and rushed towards him with a metallic sound. He was caught completely off-guard!
"Damn it!" Rowan cried out. He could now sense the aura from below, and he realized that he was in mortal danger.
Even as he panicked, he instantly activated his Fate Character, which burned the remaining five hundred grams of grade-three metal in his body.
Violent god's power surged, transforming into a defensive weapon that would protect the surface of his body.
This time, the god's power he released was much stronger compared to his battle with Darren last time.
He had no choice. If he didn't go all out at this time, there was no way he would survive.
"Alex, help me!"
Even though he had unleashed all his god's power, he was still in a precarious situation. Thus, he had to ask Darren for help.
