In the distance, Jonnathan sees a rounded attic. It's body of made clay and mud, the coloring similar to a terracotta pot, with carved frames to hold brown-tinted glass.
Marvelous!
Its main body, a squarish housing with the rounded attic came into sight. The whole terracotta palace located more than 30 meters beneath. A flight of stairs, up to the grand entrance with a arch.
Two rows of brown-tinted glass above the grand arch, indicating the upper rooms.
Near the entrance, stations two terracotta knight statue. Covered from head to toe in glimmering bronze armor, grasping onto their spear perfectly upright.
Unmoving, they stare into an empty space. Seemingly anticipating danger and preparing for war.
Encircling the square compound is a line of metal fences, with sharp spikes above.
A sense of excitement fills him up, rushing towards opening. Also....a 30 meters deep drop in front of him!
Jonnathan pushed hard against the ground.
His feet continued onwards by a few centimeters, barely an inch away from edge of the platform.
"Whew! Who designed this crappy dungeon!"
His feet aches and sore from breaking all his momentum.
Then, a notification sounds out:
"Congratulations! You have found the Boss Room of the first floor!"
Looking around, he notices the stairway down on both his left and right.
"Tsk, awful"
Jonnathan walks down the stairs with heavy thuds.
A small human-shaped figurine appears, an intricate weaving of plant fiber, craved with lines to indicate its facial features.
It climbs towards him.
Jonathan kicks it away, knocking it down a few steps.
The wooden doll got up, persistently climbing back up at him.
This time, he executes a swift and powerful kick! Exploding the wooden figurine into millions of plant fiber. A green quartz crystal flew out amidst the pile of debris.
Jonnathan picks up the green quartz crystal at the end of the stairs. Immediately choosing to absorb it.
He felt fresh and energetic course throughout his body, giving him strength to start running!
"So this is the effect...."
He stares at crowd of "plant harvest" laying around the terracotta palace....
A few minutes later, Jonnathan felt like a few years younger! Brimming full of strength and vitality!
A group of adorable little dolls urge their stubby legs, fleeing from the monster.
Jonnathan chases them down.
"Clang! Clang!"
The echos of metal plates knocking against each other sounded out. Curious, Jonnathan turns towards the noise.
A sharp tip flying towards him!
"Aaaaahhh!"
Stepping back awkwardly, the tip grazes past his shoulder! Leaving behind a molten hot surface wound!
A bronze armored medieval knight, it thrust the spear again!
Jonnathan reacts, instinctively grasping the sharp tip. The bronze knight tug and tug, its struggles to pull it back. After failing, it bend forward and charges at Jonnathan!
Jonnathan flails the spear at the knight. Knocking it off course, before he thrust at it violently!
"Clang!"
The bronze spear punctures a small hole in its armor. The bronze knight, realizing imminent defeat, flees from the battle. Retreating into the palace with its companion.
"Whew, I have grown stronger. The walking statue is strong, but I'm even stronger!"
"It is easy because I disarmed it," Jonnathan says as he looks at his bleeding hand. He wraps up his wound with a piece of his clothing and continues the massacre, before heading to the palace.
