About 20 minutes later, Shang reached the tunnel and entered it.

As he walked further, he noticed something. 'My Darkness Vision stops at a certain point, but this is somehow different. Usually, I can feel the Darkness Mana stop at the walls and remain near them, but this time, it feels like the Darkness Mana is being swallowed by something.'

'It's almost like it simply stops existing at some point. It's like being on a boat and looking at a waterfall. The river simply seems to vanish at that point.'

Some seconds later, Shang noticed that the tunnel was getting wider, contradicting the map. The map showed a natural dead-end, but instead of becoming narrower, the tunnel widened.

Eventually, Shang could see the end of the tunnel.

The tunnel had widened to a width and height of over a hundred meters, but everything stopped at the same point.

Shang could see in the dark, but he felt like he couldn't see the thing at the end of the tunnel.

However, just as expected, the feeling Shang was feeling was becoming more intense.

Eventually, Shang stopped just a meter away from the end of the tunnel.

In front of him, he could only see black.

Shang extended his hand.

And he felt a wall.

The wall was cold to the touch, but it wasn't freezing.

'Strange. This wall is so black that I can't even see it,' Shang thought as he rubbed his hand on the wall.

"That's the ore," Sword said.

Shang looked at Sword with furrowed brows. "What is?"

"The wall," Sword said.

Shang's eyes widened in shock, and he looked at the wall. "You're saying that this gigantic wall is all made up of Entropy Ore?!" he asked.

"Correct," Sword answered.

Shang could barely wrap his mind around this fact.

So, the two-kilometer wide and however-many-kilometer high circle was entirely made up of Entropy Ore?!

How much ore was that?!

At that point, Shang noticed something.

There was a tiny cut in the immaculately flat and smooth wall.

Shang's hand went over, and he could barely feel the cut. Without his Darkness Vision, he would have never found it.

'I guess this is where they tried to break through the wall,' Shang thought.

'Sadly, they failed.'

Shang looked at the wall for a while longer. 'But how could they? If a team of True Mages failed to get through there, it means that this ore is exceptionally hard and, therefore, quite valuable. Instead of just giving up, they would surely call the Duke, right?'

'And the same thing would be true for the Duke, which means that eventually…'

Shang looked closer at the cut.
