The day passed as Rudy trudged towards the next giant bone and climbed it.
Darkness once again engulfed the pale desert, turning it into the dark desert. The bones rattled, and the insect dreadborns came to life.
After resting for a couple of minutes, Rudy walked to the edge and looked toward the flickering light.
"It's still there," he noted as he lowered his gaze to the ground, and added, "I cannot continue like this... they might be irregulars, so I have to absorb a hundred essence shards at least."
Making up his mind, he memorised the location of nearby scorpion and beetle dreadborns.
He descended the giant bone, then retrieved his long sword, and made his way towards the nearest dreadborn, which was also far from others.
A few minutes later, he stood meters away from a deviant demon scorpion and mumbled, "I have to be fast."
