The tunnel they passed through didn't lead them to a lower level, instead, it led to another large open area on the same level they were already on.
Reign and the others had already made a formation and were ready to fight the monsters that were present in this area, which, according to the kobolds, were rock lizards.
The rock lizards were powerful monsters whose bodies were completely covered in rocks. None of them here were that strong, to be honest, with the most powerful amongst them being Tier IV rock lizards, but the problem was the rocks.
Over time, rock lizards would take in mana from the surroundings and their rocks would become more powerful, they would be tougher.
As the rock lizards had been for a long time, the rocks covering their bodies were the same ones that were found around them, and since even Tier IV combatants had a hard time destroying them, the rock lizards were able to defeat the kobolds time and time again.
