After resting for a few days Ace and Avery head back to the dungeon mounting Melanie once inside for a faster and safer travel method.
After about 6 hours of flying they find a giant pit in the ground almost like a meteor strike landed there. They land and walk up to the Pit as the mud squelches under them.
Suddenly a gurgling could be heard as the smell of death creeps over them.
Ace and Avery gets pulled into the pit. Upon landing and regaining their balance they find themselves within a cave system, pure darkness filling the area. Ace unable to see draws his shield and tries to grab Avery.
Avery stumbles around feeling the slimy floors and walls around them.
Suddenly the room fills with a bright white revealing a deep and wide cavern. Mud covering the floor and walls.
Ace feels a pressure from under him, he grabs Avery and throws him into the air and uses his shield to block. A ice spear launches from the ground under Ace, it's power on par with Ace's shield.
Avery puts up his totem to boost Ace's Defence. Ace blocks the Ice spear as it clashes against the earth and metal elements, causing a large flash of light and sparks. The ice spear shattering into dust. Ace gets sent flying into Avery and then into a wall, Avery taking heaps of damage breaking some ribs and both his arms. Ace quickly uses heal pulse on Avery. Ace's shield slowly fades away. Ace quickly draws his sword.
A Swamp Mole appears out of the ground, large ice crystals all over its back covered in mud and roots.

Ace Hurriedly Activates Stat Boost, Sonic Speed and Forest Guardian. As Ace activates all these blessings a green glow covers his body as sturdy vines and roots cover his body in a form of armour.
The Swamp Mole fires another huge Ice Spear at Ace, this time Ace dodges it with his insane speed stat. Using his sword he slices through the ice spear cutting it clean in half as it passed by him.
Ace rushes over to the mole and swiftly strikes with precision, leaving a shallow cut in the mole's skin. Quickly jumping away to avoid a giant claw strike, Ace uses Poison Bullet and strikes the mole with two of the bullets.
A green light faintly covers the mole as it's movements slow, seeing it weaken Ace races foward and swiftly strikes the mole easily slicing through it.
Afterwards the mole just lays there limp. As it disappears it leaves behind two Icy Rock Chunks laying there emitting a cool aura around them.

After a day of resting from the fight.
Ace decides to use his new knowledge and embed the soul shard into his armour.
Heading to his workshop he lays his armour on the bench, the glow of green and oranges fill his work shop. Ace takes out the soul shard and places it on top of the chest piece directly in the centre.
He quickly draws the Gem embedding ritual circle and gently places it on top of the soul shard.
Ace applies his aura into the parchment with the ritual to activate it. Upon doing so the parchment starts to glow with an array of colours, it rises slowly as a big flash of white light fills the room. Ace feels his aura being suppressed by the immense power of the shard being embedded.
After the array of colours disappear, Ace clearly sees the armour looking the same as it did previously, but emitting a more forceful aura.
