Digging To Survive: I Can See Hints Chapter 317
Advertisement
Seeing that his mid-level Whirlwind had rendered meritorious service, Klein secretly exclaimed, "An opportunity!"
Then, he hurriedly picked up the Endless Sword and activated all the magic in his body. He silently recited a few sentences, and a powerful spell spread to the Endless Sword.
The Endless Sword shone brightly as the power of countless elements permeated it.
Soon, Klein finished accumulating his power and forcefully slashed at the Undying Dead's neck.
Whoosh--
The terrifying blade light instantly left his body. Like a bow that had been released from its bowstring, it charged forward at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye!
On the other side, the Undying Dead's hand was controlled as it instantly thought to itself, 'This is bad.'
Although it was just a thought from its main body, and its strength and magic power were far inferior to its previous body, it didn't mean that it was weak.
On the contrary, it could become an existence in a dungeon, so its strength was naturally not weak.
Therefore, it quickly knew that once it was controlled, the opponent would definitely not give it a chance to escape control.
Therefore, it did not care too much. It hurriedly urged all the magic power in its body, wanting to quickly escape from the intermediate Whirlwind.
Because of this, it even stretched out its recently recovered broken hand.
However, as it had only grown half of its hand, it was unable to reach the intermediate Whirlwind even if it stretched out.
Therefore, the Undying Dead leaped to its feet.
The ground suddenly quaked.
Then, in the boundless dust, a giant that was about twenty meters tall instantly melted the dust like a pillar, revealing its true form.
...
Sensing the movement in the dust, Klein hurriedly looked over.
He saw that the Undying Dead couldn't sit still any longer and stood up with a thud.
Klein frowned when he saw the person.
The Undying Dead in front of him wasn't a crypt creature, but a human.

It was an extremely tall giant.
The giant's body was covered in wounds that left Klein flabbergasted.
"What kind of strength did this person have in ancient times?" Klein couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
There were just too many wounds on the person in front of him.
The biggest one had even split open half of the giant's body.
However, he didn't know what method he had used to fuse them together again.
Upon seeing this, Klein thought to himself, 'Looks like this is the reason why the ancient giant died.'
'It's just that I don't know how powerful it is to be able to cut the giant in half.'
At the very least, the current Klein would never be able to cause such great damage with a single strike against the ancient giants.
...
The giant who stood up roared at Klein.
It seemed to doubt that such a small human giant dared to be so bold.
Following that, the short half of its hand absorbed endless mana and grabbed at Klein's intermediate Whirlwind spell.
And at that moment, Klein's saber beam had arrived.
Klein's saber beam had already been seen by the giant. However, the speed of the saber beam wasn't fast. It was confident that it could resolve the crisis in front of it, and the saber beam would easily be resolved.
However, it had underestimated the power of a divine artifact, and it had even underestimated the power of Klein, who had evolved to tier 8.
If it was before, Klein would still be somewhat troublesome to deal with the Undying Dead, but now, he didn't need to expend much energy.
Seeing that there was no way to dodge, the giant couldn't help but let out a furious roar. "F*ck!"
It knew that once the released saber flash and rushed in front of its body, it definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it based on the hardness of its body.
There was no other way. The Undying Dead could only use its newly repaired short limbs to withstand the Endless Sword's saber flash.

But what kind of damage was Klein's Endless Sword's saber flash?
Back then, it had nearly caused the mysterious person, who seemed to be a tier 9, to fail. How could a mere tier 7 be able to withstand it?
Even if its body was a powerhouse from ancient times, it was still uncertain how much essence qi was left in its body after such a long time.
Pfft--
As expected, Klein's guess was right.
The saber beam directly entered the Undying Dead's arm.
Slash!
The Undying Dead's thick arm was cut in half by the saber beam.
With its arm cut off, the Undying Dead let out a painful howl.
However, the saber beam didn't show any mercy as it continued slashing at the Undying Dead's neck.
"I'll die!"
Sensing the power of the saber beam, the Undying Dead's face immediately changed.
Its originally dark skin revealed an intense fear.
It couldn't help but think to itself, 'What's going on? Such a small blade light is actually so powerful? Could it be that the kid's weapon isn't an ordinary item?'
But now wasn't the time to think about this. The Undying Dead's crisis was getting closer and closer, leaving it with little time to react.
The Undying Dead also felt it.
However, it was tightly controlled by the intermediate Whirlwind.
It was impossible to extricate itself in a short period of time, so there was no way for a level to block this fatal blow.
"There's no other way!"
The Undying Dead gritted its teeth and let out an earth-shattering roar.
Following that, it shouted, "Come quickly!"
Klein was taken aback when he saw the Undying Dead suddenly speak.
He quickly realized that there were monsters nearby.
"Where?"
Klein was extremely vigilant.
Then, he looked around.
At that moment, the earth shook and the mountains shook. The air quaked as a dense aura of destruction spread out inexplicably.
Suddenly, the sky changed color, the lake water splashed, and the ground churned.
There was an inexplicable hum.
It was like a huge sonic boom produced when divine artifacts clashed.
"Not good!"
Klein looked at the first mountain at a glance. If Klein wasn't wrong, that mountain must be a divine artifact!
Sure enough, there was a huge tremor, causing Klein to lose his balance and his body to sway up and down.
And at that moment, the mountain seemed to have been touched by something.
Hum--
A sound came from the peak of the mountain, instantly blowing away all the dust on its body.
Then, it brazenly pulled out its body from the aura of the earth and flew straight into the sky.
Klein immediately saw the divine artifact that flew out.
It was a rod!
A huge rod that was more than ten meters tall.
Sensing the destructive aura it exuded, Klein's expression changed. He couldn't help but say, "This divine artifact is definitely not simple. It's definitely not under the Endless Sword."
"Not only that, it seems like the owner of this divine artifact has caused endless killing, causing its own killing intent to be extremely heavy!"
At that moment, the rod that flew into the sky trembled, producing a buzzing sound.
It instantly froze everything in the world.
Following that, the rod fell, directly shattering Klein's Endless Sword's saber beam.
Not only that, after shattering Klein's Endless Sword saber beam, the staff let out a humming sound once again as countless heaven and earth elements charged at the staff. Following that, the staff absorbed all of the heaven and earth elements into its body.
After the absorption was complete, the purified heaven and earth elements were directly channeled into the Undying Dead's body.

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
