The Shadow Mine

Under Jeremy's persistent urging, Ritchie reluctantly continued to wield the Longsword of the Undying. 

Although Ritchie could feel the piercing pain throughout the process of using the Longsword of the Undying, he noticed that, with the passage of time, the intensity of the pain began to diminish slightly. 

Ritchie, somewhat taken aback, addressed Jeremy. 

"You are indeed correct, as the usage time increases, the damage inflicted upon me by the Longsword of the Undying seems to be less severe than it was before." 

Ritchie's response brought Jeremy a measure of relief. 

"That's good to hear! We have only a few minutes left before you reach your very own instance. Get ready to plunge into battle at a moment's notice." 

A few minutes later, Jeremy and Ritchie parked their vehicle not far from the entrance of a mine. 

After exiting the car, they both turned their gazes toward the mine.
