บท 391: In the depths of the mine [2]

"Ukh...!"

As the rocks fell on me, I felt my body tremble. It hurt but I was able to withstand most of the pain. As opposed to Leon and Kaelion, the rocks didn't hurt as much. 

....The only problem was the fact that I wasn't just protecting myself. 

Looking down, I saw the scared Leon look up in terror. He couldn't see me, but I could see him. 

Rumble, rumble—! 

The ground beneath me started to tremble. 

At first, I was confused, but soon my eyes widened in horror as I noticed fine miniature crevices forming beneath me. 

'Crap!'

I realized what was happening too late. 

Cra Crack—! 

The ground beneath me shattered. 

I wanted to curse again, but there was no time. My footing began to slip as the ground beneath me crumbled, revealing an endless darkness below that swallowed everything from sight.

"Akh...!"
