Chapter 764: Avarice

The treasure chamber shuddered under the impact of Bloody Lily's hammer against the creature, echoing a resounding crash that reverberated off the brick walls of the room. 

Hot air impregnated with molten metal enveloped the room, while the abomination's claws twitched, trying to grab the intrepid player.

Maelstrom watched the scene intently, his deep-set eyes fixed on the unfolding battle. "You have determination, Bloody Lily," he commented, his voice resonating like an echo. "But this guardian is a manifestation of greed itself, and its hunger for power is insatiable."

When he had finished speaking, the creature, though wounded, roared in response. Its golden skin, a twisted amalgam of metal and flesh, showed signs of cracking and wear. However, its fiery rage was undiminished, and its razor-sharp claws sought revenge on the player's audacity more than anything.
