章 169: Fighting The Guardians [2]

"Well, here we go again," I muttered to myself, now becoming used to these dramatic entrances.

As I examined the room, I noticed it was filled with towering stone columns, each intricately carved with designs of snakes and other creatures.

The smooth marble floor reflected the dim light in the room, creating an eerie ambiance.

In the center of the chamber stood a large statue, its stone eyes fixed upon me, seeming to dare me to take another step forward.

"Why do I get the feeling that statue will come to life as soon as I approach it," I mumbled to myself, having experienced similar scenarios in the past.

I readied my katanas, the blue aura around them brightening, and started moving toward the statue, keeping a vigilant eye for any signs of movement.

Suddenly, the statue began to stir, its eyes opening and revealing a cold, stony gaze.
