?Villain Ch 560. Stone Wall and Deadlift

"Okay, let's get started!" Bella exclaimed with genuine excitement. Her words carried an infectious energy.

In a synchronized motion, the group ceased their onslaught of skills, creating a momentary lull in the chaotic clash against the undead soldiers. Bella, seizing the opportunity, harnessed the full extent of her prowess. She unleashed her Stone Wall skill at its maximum level. The stone floor beneath them quivered in response, a subtle tremor building into a resonant vibration. In an almost dance-like rhythm, the floor surged upward, stones rapidly ascending and interlocking to form a formidable stone wall that enclosed the corridor in front of them.

The transformation was swift and awe-inspiring, as if nature itself had responded to Bella's command, creating an impenetrable barrier. The wall rose with a commanding presence, stretching from floor to ceiling, effectively sealing off their path. A newfound calm enveloped the once tumultuous corridor. The clash of weapons, the eerie wails and the bone-chilling grunts of undead soldiers were now muted.

"I think we need to cut the first base before we can do anything," Bella admitted with a cringe, realizing that her Stone Wall was still tethered to the floor.

"Let me handle it," Larissa declared from behind her. Larissa stepped forward, prompting the others to make way for her. The narrow pathway, a mere two meters wide, added an extra layer of challenge to their hunt.

Larissa activated her Blood Manipulation skill. Her blood transformed into tendrils, each resembling sharp-edged blades. The tendrils, like extensions of her own essence, danced in the air with a graceful lethality.

With precision, Larissa directed the blood tendrils toward the base of Bella's Stone Wall. The thick stone, formidable and resistant, seemed a challenging opponent, but Larissa's manipulation of her blood proved to be both elegant and powerful.

The tendrils, sharp as blades, moved with a fluidity that defied the constraints. They wrapped around the base, delicately probing its structure. The representation of Larissa's blood transformed into a deadly ballet of crimson tendrils. The tendrils tightened their grip, their sharp edges exerting pressure on the stone. The sharp edges of the blood tendrils cut through the thick stone base, separating it from the rest of the wall.

As Larissa's Blood Manipulation skill successfully severed the stone base from Bella's wall, a subtle shift occurred in the landscape. The freed stone, once part of the formidable barrier, now began to inch back toward the group. The movement was gradual but unmistakable, a cue that the monsters on the other side were persistently attempting to breach the divide.

The realization of the looming threat prompted a collective effort among them to push the stone wall further. In the midst of this tension, Allen, recognizing the urgency of the situation, swiftly raised his hand forward and unleashed his Telekinesis Blast. The energy surged forward, a manifestation of his in-game abilities aimed at providing a forceful push to the stone barrier. However, a frown creased Allen's forehead as he encountered an unexpected resistance, a weightiness that defied the usual ease of his telekinetic control.

The resistance, distinct and pronounced, reverberated through Allen's consciousness. At that moment, the telekinetic exertion felt more akin to a physical feat, a sensation he likened to the strain of a deadlift. The realization startled him.

Allen turned toward the group with a mockingly raised eyebrow. "So, I'm the only one who works here?" he inquired, a hint of playful accusation in his tone. The others responded with grins, a shared understanding that their current strategy heavily relied on Allen's Telekinesis Blast.

"Well, you're the one with the telekinetic muscle, Allen," Jane retorted, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "We're just here to enjoy the show."

Bella added with a grin, "Who knew pushing walls could be this lucrative?"

Zoe chimed in, "I'm just excited about what treasures the next floor might hold. Maybe some rare artifacts or enchanted gear?"

Larissa raised an eyebrow. "Let's not forget the monsters. We should be prepared for tougher foes. The loot will be better, but the challenges might ramp up too."

Vivian spoke, "Imagine finding a legendary item or a rare spell scroll. It could level up our whole party."

"Or more coins," Shea chimed.

Jane nodded in agreement. "We should also coordinate our skills better. There's potential for even more efficient battles."

"I just hope the next floor brings us more challenges that don't involve playing tug-of-war with stone walls. And the space, I hope it will be a better space than this cramped chamber," Allen remarked with a chuckle.

Alice added with a playful smirk, "I'm secretly hoping for a dragon. You know, a dragon emperor! It's an Eastern tomb after all."

Bella mused, "What if there's a puzzle on the next floor? Something to tickle our brains a bit."

Zoe, her enthusiasm evident, said, "I'd love a challenge that really tests our teamwork."

Larissa warned, "Let's not get too carried away. We know the next floor will bring tougher monsters. We should focus on being prepared for that."

In less than five minutes, they stood before the last stele, its crystal pulsating with an ethereal glow. Allen swiftly launched a blast toward the crystal. The impact shattered the crystal into radiant fragments.

As the crystal disintegrated, a portal materialized before them. Without hesitation, they stepped into the portal.
