Linsel's reason for rushing into the flesh mountain monster's body was twofold: to save people and to obtain new monster abilities by taking the head of the cultist Shalin.

Half of his body had already crawled into the monster's mountain of flesh. It was very dark inside, and it smelled of decay. Strange sounds could be heard from time to time as nearby chunks of flesh were squeezed and deformed.

Linsel gagged a few times; the stench and the surrounding chunks of flesh made him uncomfortable, and a certain corner game he had played in his past life flashed through his mind.

The space inside the flesh cave seemed quite large. Perhaps by attacking the monster from within, one could find a weakness and kill it with a single blow.

Moreover, he possesses [darksight], which allows him to see the internal structure of the flesh mountain, and the backup ability of [body regeneration].

Linsel stepped completely inside. He looked around and saw an irregular passage with wrinkled fleshy walls, leading in two directions: forward and backward, and the space getting smaller as he went deeper.

The only place where light could penetrate was the fleshy entrance he had come in through. At this moment, the dwarf Tak was sticking his head and neck into the hole, observing the surroundings inside the monster.

"Wolf Slayer, let me in to help you! This space is small, which is perfect for me, wait..."

As the dwarf was speaking in a deep voice, the area around the fleshy hole suddenly began to writhe, and a strong squeezing sensation forced the dwarf to pull his head back.

Then, within seconds, the fleshy hole closed completely as the surrounding flesh writhed and deformed.

Linsel was now completely plunged into darkness, and even the sounds from outside the monster's body were blocked out, leaving only the various noises from the writhing of flesh and other unidentified sounds.

He suddenly realized something and finally felt a sense of urgency.

The entrance to the flesh cave was sealed, and no other openings connecting it to the outside were found nearby. This was quite dangerous.

If you stay there too long and there isn't enough oxygen, you might suffocate, or some digestive acid might come out and corrode you. Then, when the medication takes effect, you'll be in excruciating pain.

Linsel drew the iron sword from behind him, bent over, and stepped onto the slimy chunks of flesh, slowly moving forward.

A dozen seconds later, the area in front of them was completely enveloped by a wall of flesh, seemingly reaching its end.

He opened the panel and saw that Shalin had less than 70 health left. Although it recovered a little bit each time, it dropped a lot again later. It seemed that Karina and the others outside were still attacking relentlessly.

Linsset was somewhat uneasy; the cramped environment seemed to give him a claustrophobic feeling, and he was generally very uncomfortable.

He poked the fleshy wall in front of him with his iron sword. The sword went in a little, and then the fleshy wall convulsed and trembled for a while before returning to its original state before he used the sword.

The reaction wasn't very strong, so I decided to just start here, hacking around to kill the monster first, and then making a hole in it.

Just as Lindsay approached the wall of flesh and was about to strike, he seemed to faintly hear a soft sob.

"Who is it?" Linsel whispered, his ear close to the flesh, a little flustered.

"Is anyone else here...? I'm here!"

It was a woman's voice, rather soft, and seemed to be coming from behind the left side of the fleshy wall.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."

Linssay stabbed the fleshy wall on the left with his iron sword, but unexpectedly, he pierced through it in one go.

The flesh wall here is much thinner than the outer surface.

He hurriedly used his sword to cut along the tiny, damaged notch, trying to create a circular opening.

The cries for help from the other side of the flesh wall, tinged with sobs, grew clearer and sounded very familiar.

"I'm here! Help me! Help me!"

"I'll be right in!"

"Lince? It's you, that's great!" The person on the other end stopped crying immediately after hearing Lince's voice.

Lindsay recognized who was trapped, and the person, as if grasping at a lifeline, began to talk incessantly.

"I'm stuck inside this pile of dead flesh, unable to move, with only my head sticking out."

"Linse, it's pitch black here. I thought I wouldn't be able to get out and that I was going to die here. But then I heard some noise, so I shouted a few more times on a whim. I didn't expect there would actually be someone here."

"Sister, I can't stand this disgusting slime anymore, please let me out!"

"Stop making noise, Claire, be quiet!"

The trembling of the flesh wall slightly slowed down Linsel's cutting efficiency, but he had already used his sword to cut off most of the flesh wall.

Through the half-cut hole, Lindsay could see what was inside.

The female wanderer was now enveloped in a mass of rotting flesh, surrounded by chunks of flesh and irregular flesh walls. In front of her was some unidentified liquid that emitted a putrid stench and seemed to be the slime of the sarin.

"How much longer?"

"Alright, almost done!"

Just as Linssey was cutting off the last piece of meat from the hole, the ground beneath his feet suddenly began to shake violently.

Immediately afterwards, the flesh around him and the soles of his feet began to undulate violently, causing Lindsay to lose his balance and nearly fall.

"Ahhh!" came a gasp from the other side.

"What's wrong?" Lince, having regained his balance, crawled into the flesh hole he had cut out, slowly following the flesh wall into this space that was only the size of a cellar.

He saw that many of the pieces of meat were deformed, and Claire was squeezed inside, now motionless.

We have to get her out of there quickly!

Linsel didn't have time to think before stepping over the large puddle of slime.

He dared not use the fire arrows, fearing that the flames might explode inside the monster's body, rapidly consuming oxygen and causing unpredictable dangers.

He approached Claire and swiftly sliced ​​through the flesh with his sword.

The meat was quite firm, but very thin, so it was easy to cut a slit in it.

Lindsay tore off the flesh, freeing Claire from her predicament.

"Claire?"

He called out, but there was no response. However, judging from the other person's closed eyes and rapid breathing, it seemed that they had simply fainted.

Lindsay also felt some difficulty breathing.

It seems the oxygen level here is decreasing; we need to get out quickly!

He carefully scanned his surroundings and noticed that the fleshy wall on his right was trembling incessantly, which was quite unusual.

Lindsay placed Claire in the corner of the flesh wall and walked a few steps to the wall to examine her.

On the other side was a rapid, trembling sound, like some vital organ… the heart? I wasn't sure, but this place was different from other places.

He opened the panel, and the monster's health had dropped below 30.

It's time! Give it a try!

Linsel gripped the sword with both hands, the hard iron in his hands flashing slightly, and began to gather power towards the strange place inside Shalin'er.

[Heavy Strike]!

puff.

A gap was cut through the flesh wall, revealing a large, pulsating chunk of flesh, which turned out to be a heart.

After Shalin's health rapidly dropped to single digits, it recovered to over twenty points.

This is a bit scary, but now that we've found the monster's heart, things will be easier.

Linsel gripped his iron sword again, gathering his strength for his second [Heavy Strike] technique.

The iron sword was raised high, and this time it was slashed fiercely into the throbbing lump of flesh. With a thud, the blade cut into more than half of the monster's heart!

The surrounding space trembled violently, shook, and even began to flip.

The twenty-third monster ability!

However, Lindsay had no time to be happy. After killing the monster, he was thrown off balance by the enormous impact and lost consciousness.
