(From MC's perspective)
When I walked further, I saw the silhouette of Eric Lloyd. Seeing that he is up to something. I started to follow him from behind. This situation inside the ruin is dire.
But this guy is working on his plan. A trace of apprehension appeared in my eyes. I can fight across ranks. But that doesn't mean I can hold a candle against Class-5 Monster.
Shaking my head, I continued to follow him. After a few minutes, I felt something strange. The ground beneath my feet felt different. It's not solid ground. It felt artificial.
Crack!
Before I could think anything further. The ground beneath my feet collapsed and it swallowed me.
Everything happened in a blink of an eye,
Tud!
I heavily dropped onto the ground. I don't know where it is. The entire area looked pitch black. Fortunately, I'm wearing the armor suit. It took the majority of the impact. Which saved me from injury.
