Victor studied the enormous figure before him, tightening his grip on his sword.
Unlike the Crimson Crystal Lava Giant he had encountered earlier, this guardian clearly possessed a much more complete combat structure.
Not only was its body covered in thick armor, but the halberd in its hands was also far more formidable than an ordinary chunk of stone.
More importantly, Victor could sense that the fire elements within its body weren't sustained solely by its internal core.
Instead, they were connected to the mana patterns surrounding the entire stone hall.
This meant that even if the Earth Vein Golden Flame could devour some of its fire elements, it might not be able to destroy the guardian's body as quickly as it had destroyed the lava giant.
Nevertheless, Victor had no intention of retreating. After all, what truly interested him wasn't the guardian itself.
It was the hall behind it!
