After going through the door, Raydon found himself back in the room he had been in previously. The room, which had a total of four doors before, now only has two of them.
''On the whole, I have about two more hours. 1 hour for each stage,'' Raydon said, and without wasting any ti, he headed towards one of the doors to proceed to the next stage.
As he walked through the door, a heavy sll of mud greeted him, its earthy scent filling his nostrils. When he looked up ahead, he saw that the walls and floor of the long corridor that lay before him were covered in a thick layer of mud. It was difficult to see very far ahead due to the dim lighting and the thick air that slled musty and had a feeling of being damp.
"This place seems very gloomy," Raydon said as he peered down the murky, low-lit passageway. Even if there hadn't been an unpleasant odor present, the feeling of the breeze on his skin would have been sufficient to induce a normal person to tremble.
He took a few cautious steps into the muck, feeling the squelch of the mud beneath his boots. As he made his way down the silent corridor, the only sound that could be heard was the squelching of the mud under his feet.
The ceiling was so low that it was only a few centiters above his head, and the walls were uneven and rough, giving the impression that they had been carved directly out of the earth.
"This mud seems like it will be a problem," Raydon was moving slowly and carefully because his steps were getting stuck in the mud. Moreover, as he made so headway, he observed that the mud was becoming heavier and stickier, thereby increasing the difficulty of movent.
"I think now is the right ti to turn my disadvantage into an advantage. I hope it works. ''
He chuckled to himself, and the mud at his feet started to dry as it darkened and smoke rose.
Due to the fact that it followed the sa logic as a skill, the heat that emanated from Raydon's body did not cause the boots on his feet to beco damaged. After all, if the skill used by the item holders caused damage to the item to which the skill was attached, then the majority of items would be destroyed after only a single use of the skill. Therefore, Raydon's use of his skills did not cause him any harm, nor did it cause any harm to the items that were bound to him.
After the mud had dried and turned to sand, Raydon was able to easily pull his foot out.
''If I don't count the smoke, my movent will be easier,'' Raydon said, inhaling the foul-slling smoke that had filled the narrow corridor. However, he had little difficulty with this smoke.
If he wanted to, he could continue to hold his breath; in addition, it wasn't thick enough to obstruct his vision.
He was making his way down the corridor much more easily at this point when he started to notice movent in the mud in front of him.
At first, he thought it was just the occasional ripple of the bubbling mud, but then he saw the mud slowly rise and take a shape.
After only a short period of ti, the mud in front of Raydon underwent a dramatic transformation, transforming into monstrous mud creatures that stood approximately one ter in height each. They were short and stocky, with lumpy bodies and beady eyes, and they moved through the mud at an extrely sluggish pace.
Even though Raydon's Death Sense skill was always active, he was unable to see the HP bars until the mud monsters had fully ford. Obviously, there was indeed a strong barrier blocking Raydon's investigative-type skill.
But that didn't really matter to him, and nothing could bring him down from the high mode he was currently in.
''Finally, sothing that will allow to gain experience. '' He said in a cheery manner and used his skill.
''Fla Burst. ''
In an instant, black flas engulfed the corridor ahead of Raydon, setting fire to the mud monsters.

''This is perfect. ''
When Raydon saw the system ssages after his 30-second flas had gone out, he let out a shout of joy. In that short amount of ti, he had eliminated 40 Claycreepers.
''There must be more where these co from, right? ''
He observed in the corridor that the mud had been completely transford into black sand as a result of the fire. His flas were so powerful that they obliterated several ters of mud in front of him and even killed the Claycreepers before they had even ford.
Raydon had to hold his breath this ti as a result of the smoke, and the smoke's increasing density further hampered his already limited vision. Despite this, he kept moving forward in the sa direction.
He began to engulf the corridor in black flas once more after a minute had passed and his Fla Burst skill had turned on.
''Fla Burst. ''

''Now this is farming in the truest sense, hahaha. '' As he observed the 52 overlapping system ssages, Raydon exclaid with delight.
''Cough…Cough… ''
'Perhaps it's best if I express my joy silently.' He began coughing from inhaling the thick cloud of smoke that filled the entire hallway. Thankfully, he had the stamina to run for hours without stopping for breaths of oxygen.
And right now, all he wanted was for this stage to go on as long as it could.
