The spirit charged at them.

The snake’s mouth opened wide, letting out a low roar.

The air quivered as a faint toxic aura spread around.

It felt like death.

In that moment of sharp, hair-raising tension, Lee Jiyeon moved without hesitation.

She drew upon the earth to extend the handle of her axe.

She gripped the handle tightly, pushing her entire body to its limits.

Then, she infused it with her energy.

A thick, green aura enveloped the axe.

Especially around the blade, the aura surged and flared up explosively.

“Taesan.”

Taesan was a unique ability to control the earth.
