Souta and Isabella were standing in front of a wall. They finally reached the end of this cave but Souta doubted it.

"What should we do, Souta?" Isabella asked as she glanced at Souta.
​​
"Let me ponder it for a while," Souta said as he rubbed his chin and observed the dead end.

He was sure that what he felt was right. There's mana fluctuation in this place but how come they don't find anything. So where was it coming from?

'Did you feel it too, right? Saya.' Souta asked Saya to confirm that it wasn't his imagination.

'Yes.' Saya replied to him.

Souta placed his palm on the wall and said, "Is there a place beyond this?" He wanted to check out what's beyond this to see if there's really a space beyond this wall.

He needed to be careful. He was hundreds of meters below the surface and if he exerted too much force then this whole cave would crumble down. This cave was fragile and it wasn't as tough as those dungeons in Imperium. The high-level dungeons in Imperium could even contain the aftershocks of a battle of two third evolution monsters.

Souta was about to crush the walls when he suddenly stopped moving. A faint fluctuation of mana swept out. It was too low and if he wasn't minding his surroundings then he would miss it.

'Souta, from below.' Saya said as she felt it too.

'Here?' Souta looked down at the ground beneath his feet and placed his palm on it.

'Yes.' Saya said.

"What's wrong, Souta?" Isabella asked.

"I felt it. It's deeper than I had imagined." Souta replied to Isabella. He turned to her and said, "Prepare yourself. We'll go down."

"Eh...? Down?" Isabella was confused as she looked at the ground.

"Yeah. So grabbed tightly on me." Souta said as he slowly explained to her what she needed to do.

...

"Are you ready?" Souta asked.

"Y-Yeah..." Isabella replied meekly as her face was slowly turning red. Her arms were around Souta's neck and her body was stuck on his back.

Souta piggybacked Isabella so that she wouldn't fall continuously when he used his skill. He actually wanted to carry her with his arms but he realized that he only had one arm. He wouldn't be able to use his [Burrow] skill if he was using his one hand to carry her so he just gave her a piggyback.

'Your mind, Souta. You're going astray.' Saya's voice rang in his head.

'I know.'

Souta shook his head to calm his nerves. Isabella's body was stuck on his back and he could clearly feel it. Her ample bosom was being pushed on his back so his instinct was flaring up.

It's been a while since he did it so he couldn't control his reaction.

'Still, Isabella has some huge assets. I couldn't see it because of her clothes but well she's pretty amazing.' Souta said inwardly.

He then opened his mouth and took a deep breath. He crouched down and he slowly circulated his energy in his body.

[Burrow]!

He used [Burrow] as he pushed his hand forward. This skill was perfect for digging underground like this. He could even create a mine for himself using this skill. To think that he would have a place to use the skill that he got from Underground King.

After a few minutes of digging, the two reached a wide space. They were shocked as they saw a huge and wide place.

Swoosh!
