John exited the building and made his way to the mining site, the location given by the last man.

Michael was holed up inside the mine with a group of his lackeys.

John moved like a shadow through the dark night, his Haze Veil protecting him from detection.

As he arrived at the mining site, he scanned his surroundings.

John spotted a group of men standing guard outside the mine entrance. They were armed with crude weapons and wore makeshift armour, but they seemed alert and ready for a fight.

Without hesitation, John activated his Shockwave skill and sent a powerful wave of energy towards the guards. The force knocked them off their feet and sent them sprawling to the ground.

John quickly moved in, taking advantage of the confusion. He dispatched the guards with quick and efficient strikes, leaving them unconscious or severely injured.

With the guards taken care of, John approached the mine entrance. He could hear voices coming from inside, but he couldn’t make out what they were saying.

He took a deep breath and stepped inside the mine, his Quiet Steps skill hiding his presence from the men within.

The mine was dimly lit, with only a few lanterns casting eerie shadows on the walls. John could see several men moving around, armed with weapons and tools.

"When do you think we’ll find it?" one of the men asked.

"Who knows? Maybe never," another replied. "But the pay is good, so who cares?"

John listened intently, hoping to overhear something useful.

The men chatted as they worked, unaware that a deadly predator was lurking among them.

John crept through the mine, taking care to remain hidden in the shadows.

Eventually, he spotted a large group of men gathered around a tunnel entrance. They were armed with tools and weapons, and they seemed to be discussing something.

"There’s something big down there. I can feel it," one of the men said, excitement evident in his voice.

"Do you think it’s the core?" another asked, his tone hopeful.

"Maybe," the first man replied. "But whatever it is, I want to be the one to find it."

"You and me both," a third man chimed in, chuckling.

The men continued their discussion, but John tuned them out. He was more concerned about finding Michael and finishing this mission.

"Boss! We found the entrance!"

"Finally, let’s go!" Michael’s voice came from inside, and John smirked.

Several men rushed to the front, holding the torches in their hands as they illuminated the entrance to a tunnel.

The tunnel entrance is dark, its walls made of solid stone and dirt. Torches line the edges, casting long shadows across the path ahead. It is narrow and winding, with a low ceiling and a damp, musty smell. As the men enter, the tunnel seems to stretch on endlessly into the unknown depths of the earth. Small pebbles crunch under their feet and faint echoes bounce off the walls.

The tunnel carried a musty, earthy scent, a combination of dampness and mineral-rich soil. The smell of freshly cut wood drifted in from the newly revealed entrance, mixing with the mustiness.

John crept further, tailing Michael and his men, looking for the best chance to attack.

The men continued through the tunnel for what seemed like ages. John’s best guess was that they’d been walking for longer than an hour.

"Boss, is this artifact really that strong?" One of the men asked as he lifted his torch to reveal Michael’s ragged features.

"The Luminars want it, that should tell you everything," Michael replied.

John’s eyes narrowed as he listened to the men’s conversation. He had managed to gather that they were looking for an artifact they referred to as "the core." Its purpose or usefulness couldn’t be deciphered from the conversation, but the more he listened, the more interested he became.

Finally, after a long hour of walking, Michael and his men stepped out of the tunnel and into a large, open cavern. A cool breeze wafted in from an unknown source, ruffling John’s hair and clothes.

John crept silently after them, careful not to make a sound.

The cave was enormous, extending further than the eye could see. Torchlight danced off the walls, giving the cavern an eerie, mystical feeling.

"I don’t see anything, boss."

The men glanced around looking for the artifact, but just as they wondered where they could find it, a low, guttural growl echoed through the chamber.

John’s eyes darted around the cavern, searching for the source of the sound.

Suddenly, a creature burst out of the darkness, its razor-sharp claws slicing through the air and its glowing eyes fixed on the group.

It was a terrifying sight, a creature of pure malice and destruction.

John immediately appraised the creature.

[Name: Giant Cave Spider]

[Class: 4-Stars]

[Strength: 91]

[Vitality: 71]

[Agility: 51]

[Energy: 95]

[Kill Reward: 5 Energy]

[Description: A fearsome beast native to the depths of the earth, the giant cave spider is a deadly foe. Their tough exoskeletons and powerful jaws can make quick work of even the toughest opponents. Their venomous bite is an even greater threat, paralyzing and killing their victims within minutes. While most of the time solitary hunters, giant cave spiders are known to swarm when threatened or when they smell blood in the air.]

’Great. The only thing worse than a giant spider would be a swarm of giant spiders.’ John thought.

Michael and his men immediately raised their weapons, preparing themselves for a fight.

"Fire!" Michael shouted, and the men unleashed a barrage of arrows and spells towards the beast.

The giant cave spider dodged the onslaught of projectiles, its movements agile and quick.

It rushed towards the group, its sharp claws and fangs glistening in the torchlight.

John watched in awe as the spider deftly avoided the attacks, its movements almost graceful.

He could see Michael’s men panicking, their faces filled with fear and uncertainty.

In the midst of the fight, John’s eyes glanced beyond the battlefield where a faint glow enveloped a crystal orb.

’That must be the artifact,’ John thought as he looked at the crystal.

It was a pity, but Michael was about to get himself killed, but at least, he would get something out of the trip.
