Ruins [1]

24 hours soon passed within the endless desert of the final trial. Damien broke through the sand and arrived on the surface once more, quickly moving towards the rendezvous point.

'The underground is far more expansive than I originally expected. Even after I found that ruin, there were still so many interesting things down there.'

Damien looked into his subspace with a smile. There, he saw a collection of assorted herbs and fruits that radiated unique mana signatures.

These were some of his finds during his time in the underground. Along with plenty of subterranean beasts, there were areas that were filled with vitality and unique plants just as he had expected. 

But none of these areas were anywhere near as dangerous as the ruins he found first. That place, even if he could clear it alone, it would take a few days to do so.
