Grim Winged Serpent

On his flying sword, Ace flew closer toward the rising smoke of the explosion while keeping a close eye on the red fate point's movements. 

Furthermore, he noticed that even larger rocky beings started to emerge from the mountain terrain, and they were all moving toward the explosion area. 

'This layer is even deadlier than just the first two layers. Although there is no heat, I would prefer the heat over these terrifying walking explosives any day.' Ace grimly thought. 

Even though he was safe since those rocky beings couldn't seem to see through his stealth. But if he ran out of Qi, then he had to land on the ground, and once he did, he knew even a small pebble could cause an explosion. It was even more tiring than exhausting Qi. 

Nonetheless, Ace's focus right now was the mysterious person. He needed to extract information, and to do that, he needed to subdue it, which won't be an easy task.
