Shang traveled through the tunnel at a slow pace. In comparison to the upper Caves, this place was far quieter since there were far fewer beasts running around.

Just like with warriors and Mages, the further one traversed on the path to power, the fewer beings on the same level one would find.

There were probably over ten times as many General Stage beasts than Commander Stage beasts. So, while the upper Caves had the occasional beast running around, the deeper Caves felt empty.

But this couldn't be avoided. In order to advance on the path to power, one was required to consume more and more resources. Every Commander Stage beast had probably killed hundreds of other beasts in their lives.

Shang didn't find any other beast for several minutes, even with the help of his Darkness Vision.

But after 30 minutes, Shang finally felt something of interest.

However, it wasn't a beast.

Shang looked towards the north with interest.

He wasn't sure what he was feeling, but this feeling felt strange.

'Am I imagining things?' Shang thought as he looked to the north. 'I can't see anything in my Darkness Vision, but I somehow feel like I should go to the north.'

For a while, Shang wasn't sure if this feeling was real or not.

'I should investigate. If I get closer and the feeling is real, it should become stronger.'

Shang walked down one of the northern paths and consulted his map again when he came to an intersection.

For a couple of minutes, Shang chose paths that led further to the north, but it wasn't that easy to navigate, even with a map.

Shang went a bit deeper into the Caves, but he didn't descend too much. After all, he didn't want to meet Mid Commander Stage beasts.

"I can feel ore," Sword suddenly said.

Sword very rarely spoke, and Shang looked at it in surprise. "What kind of ore?"

"Entropy Ore," Sword answered. "It is the same feeling as back when we were in front of the Old King's Trial, but this time, the feeling is incomparably stronger."
