In the other corner of the claustrophobic space, Newington and Penzance were stepping over the corpse of a monster, which had just tried to attack the two of them, but was seized of the opportunity to fight back and die instantly.

Newington held a strangely shaped dagger in his hand, and when he looked closely, the blade seemed to be trembling slightly, this was a weapon he had developed himself, capable of relying on high-frequency vibrations to cut through the hardest objects, and the advantage was that it could be charged with standard magic stones, in order to prevent possible accidents, Newington did not put this dagger in a storage bag, but carried it with him.

Just now, it was with this dagger that was as sharp as clay, that they were able to successfully defeat this monster.

"It's a pity that the magic escapes quickly, and it's about to turn into an ordinary dagger."

Newington said, the dagger in his hand soon stopped vibrating, and the standard magic stone placed inside was exhausted.

In the Dead Realm, mana is consumed at an unconventional rate, making it difficult for mages to effectively construct a spell even if they empty their bodies, and providing mana to others like Reiner is tantamount to consuming their own lifespan.

Newington put away his dagger and glanced at the monster.

"This monster doesn't rely on any magic to act in the Dead Realm, but it looks like it's made by magic, Lord Penzance, what do you think?"

He didn't address Teacher Penzance, but he still retained his honorific title.

"I have an idea, but it seems too scary."

Penzance also looked at the monster's corpse and continued.

"I used to work with Carl. Lord David and Lanchester. Lord Stanion has fought to exterminate monsters in the half-plane, and the enemies we encountered at that time were almost infinite numbers, monsters that were not afraid of death, and they seemed to exist to destroy everything, and if we killed one, there would immediately be ten to fill the gap, and every time we killed them with a spell, all the monsters would become resistant to this magic, which was very difficult. ”

"Does such a monster really exist?"

Newington frowned slightly.

"That kind of monster, we called Sauron Xenomorph."

Penzance's words made Newington's eyes widen slightly, as if surprised.

"Sauron Xenomorph !?"

Newington had fought some tainted monsters, but this was the first time he had seen such a terrifying monster as Sauron.

This monster named after the destruction of an entire half-plane, so that the mage had to destroy a stargate to protect the other half-planes, did not expect to quietly appear in the core area of this ruin!

Looking at Newington in a state of shock, Penzance smiled slightly, seemingly satisfied with the other party's expression.

"You're still too young, and the Sauron xenomorph is terrifying, but as long as it is snuffed out before it multiprates, you don't have to worry too much."

"But this is the Dead Realm, and neither you nor I have the ability to fight against a large number of monsters."

Hearing this, Newington hurriedly retorted that the reason why he was able to deal with this monster just now was because he had found the monster in ambush in advance, and at the same time he had this extremely sharp dagger in his hand, but the next one was not so lucky.

"The priority now is to find an exit with the others, and we should try to avoid fighting."

Penzance said, stepping forward, looking for a way out of the claustrophobic space.

"Wait."

Newington was helpless, but still chased after him.

The two continued to weave their way through the intricate paths, but never encountered a monster again.

Silence spread in the air, and Newington suddenly remembered the first time he explored the ruins, when he was still a student of Penzance, and there was nothing to say about that ruin, just ordinary historical ruins, but the nervousness and anticipation at that time, Newington remembered vividly.

However, that was the only time Newington and Penzance explored the ruins together, and in the years that followed, the two drifted apart and eventually broke up, with Newington breaking away from the mercury scales and joining the Storm Council, shifting the focus of his research from alchemy to the elements.

Newington remembers that at that time, Penzance led the team at the front, and he followed behind Penzance, who had just been promoted to the top ranks, was full of spirits and had a strong desire to explore, and Newington was also known as a genius and arrogant.

And now, Penzance has a noticeable hunchback, his hair has long been gray, and even Newington is entering his twilight years.

If you think about it, that was decades ago.

Suddenly, Penzance stopped and motioned for Newington to remain silent.

"There is a situation."

He said, then peeked ahead.

Newington swallowed and followed Penzance's line of sight.

Ahead was a damaged gate, but the lights weren't extinguished, and instead of gray walls, it was dark.

Not feeling the breath of the creature, the two observed for a while before confirming that there was no danger.

When they walked into the house, they were greeted with a surprising picture.

The room was large, dimly lit, and it was possible to see that there were many container-like things around the huge room, which contained a black unknown liquid.

Around the container, around the circular room, were black objects resembling huge silkworm cocoons, and when I counted them, there were as many as thirty.

In the center of the room, there were something that looked like a wreckage, and since it had been eaten and digested, it was impossible to tell what kind of creature the skeleton was.

"Are these the eggs of Sauron's xenomorph?"

Newington asked softly with a dagger.

"It's possible, if such a large number of Sauron xenos hatch, then the creatures in this space will definitely be destroyed, and if these Sauron xenos escape from here, then it will inevitably cause harm to the entire Elliot half-plane, as well as the other half-planes connected to it."

Penzance said, approaching one of the eggs.

"Give me a dagger."

"Wait, the monsters inside these eggs may be hatching soon, it's too dangerous to do so!"

Newington didn't hand the dagger over, because he knew what Penzance was going to do.

"Give it to me."

Penzance ignored Newington's refusal and persistently reached out.

"It's like this every time, you don't care about other people's opinions at all!"

Newington was a little angry, but finally handed the dagger to Penzance.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, some monsters may have the ability to kill in their eggs, and even if they are destroyed during the hatching process, they can still kill their prey!"

"Of course I know, Sarri, I've killed more Sauron xenos than you've ever seen."

Penzance smiled, picked up the dagger, and plunged into one of the black eggs.
