Ethan stood at the edge of Armordilos' cave in the Misty Cliffs. The air around him was damp and cold, covered in a thick fog that blurred his vision. His heart raced, but his focus remained sharp. His entire body felt on high alert, as if ready for any sudden movement.
The giant creature inside the cave was one of the toughest opponents he had ever faced. Even without weapons, Ethan knew the power he had gained from the Heart of the Apex would be the key to his victory.
As Ethan gazed into the darkness of the cave, he could hear the heavy breathing of Armordilos, the steel-bodied beast he had read about in the zoology book.
The creature was infamous not only for its terrifying defense but also for its Steel Reflection ability, which could reflect attacks with equal force. Ethan knew he had to be careful. A reckless strike could backfire, killing him with his own power.
