After their separation, Damien continued his adventurous tour in one of the diverging tunnels. As before, there was nothing but a few colonies of bats, which flew away after sensing his presence. He finally reached a dead-end, feeling lost and frustrated. "Argh, seriously!" he muttered to himself.

"Hey, enough with the sighing, lazybones," Cynthia's melodious voice chimed in his head. "Keep looking around. There must be another entrance to the Dragon."

"Do you see anything around here?" Damien asked.

"Well, why don't you try using your Devil's Glare Skill?" Cynthia replied.

"Fine," Damien activated his Ocular Technique, and his eyes started to glint with golden light as he scanned the walls. "Oh, I found four hidden doors!" he exclaimed in delight. Under his X-Ray vision, he witnessed three large doors - one red, one green, one blue - and one black.

Moreover, there was a tag written in Archaic Sanskrit, which described the four doors.

<< These Four Gates Are One Of the Teleportation Portals, Linking The Four Worlds to this Red Purgatory Wall.

The Red Gate Was Linked To 'The False Haven World'.

Walking Through The Green Gate Will Lead One To 'The Evergreen World'.

The Blue Gate Is Connected To 'The Reflection Haven World'.

And Last But Not The Least, The Black Gate Is The Path To Entering 'The Eternity Domain'.

Warning: If You Want To Keep Your Life Intact, Then Never Even Cross Your Mind About Entering Through The Black Door!!!

If You Don't Have The Key, Then You Need To Solve The Matrix Problem Provided By The Curator Of These Large Teleportation Arrays To Unseal The Cover Over The Four Doors. >>

However, for someone like Damien, who was always hot-blooded, the warning turned out to be enticing rather than discouraging. His eyes twinkled as he gazed upon the black door, and he had already decided after reading the WARNING Signs.

As instructed, Damien touched the wall and started infusing his Origin Chi without holding back. His Lightning-based Origin Chi flickered and sizzled over the walls, scalding and crumbling the thick rocky layers, revealing the four doors and the description tag.

"What Matrix problem?! It crumbled the moment my lightning grazed on it," Damien muttered, disappointed.

Meanwhile, a colorful light flashed, revealing the image of a human who spoke in the Archaic Katakara tongue. "Which gate do you choose, dear traveler?" the image asked.

"Is there any need to ask me that?" Damien answered firmly. " It's the Black door!"

The virtual image flickered and disappeared, and the black gate creaked open. However, a beast jumped out of it, flapping its wide wings and hovering in front of Damien.

It was a gigantic Rock Dragon with the body of a crocodile, four legs, and a grotesque-looking head. It roared, thundering the entire cave as it tried to terrify the intruder.

"Unless you kill this Rock Dragon, you can't pass through the Black Gate," a male voice chimed in.

"Fine," Damien said, demanding. "Cynthia, scan the stats of this lizard."

"Okay, it's done!" Cynthia's voice echoed in his head.

In the next instant, a set of data flashed in Damien's mind, along with a familiar beeping sound.

[Target Y Scanning Completed!]

[Species: Rock Dragon]

[Gender: Male!]

[Bone Age: 10,567 Earth Years!]

[Current Energy Level: 375!]

[Threat Level: 0%]

[Beware: Rock Dragons can manipulate Earth Type Magical Skills. For the record, you are currently standing on his home turf!]

Seeing the energy level bar, Damien scoffed tediously and muttered, "Ahh, what a drag?!" However, the incessant roaring of the Dragon annoyed his ears. It also casts a gravitational spell over Damien, making him three times heavier than his already heavyweight.

"Alright, I'll end you fast and painless," Damien said, making a horizontal slashing motion with his palm. He sent out sizzling bolts of lightning, imbued with white, black, and blue and spatial law.

Without warning, the dragon's head separated from its body, and a fountain of crimson blood sprayed from its cleanly sliced neck. The creature's massive corpse crashed to the ground.

"Here comes my first score!" Damien tossed the carcass into his Purple Spatial Beast's Eyeball before striding through the Black Door. As he passed through the threshold, he felt as though he were submerged in a fluid medium. Everything was dark, and even his Devil's Eye Technique failed to see through the obscurity. He could make out a long, winding path leading to the horizon.

"You better move forward. Look behind you," warned Cynthia.

Damien spun around and saw the path behind him ignite, everything in its wake turning to ash. He hurried forward.

For two days, Damien walked without stopping, his pace steady. Finally, he reached the end of the path and another black door. A warning tag dangled from the handle, cautioning him about the perilous journey ahead. As instructed, he channeled his Lightning Canon Cultivation technique and infused his Lightning-based Origin Chi into the door.

As he did so, a sigil depicting a majestic Red Dragon materialized on the door, and it creaked open.

The moment Damien stepped outside, a blinding white light assaulted his eyes.

"Lucky us, a human this time. Throw the magical array net!" A deep male voice, speaking in broken Katakara, sounded.

Looking around, Damien exclaimed, "Huh, dwarves!" at the sight of the fifteen small, funny-looking creatures with long beards and pointy ears.

Each dwarf held a long metal pipe with a trigger, similar to the earliest guns made by humans.

'Interesting. Let's play along for now,' Damien thought.

"Ready, fire!" the leader of the group, wearing a silver crown, bellowed.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The sound of gunfire echoed as fifteen fiery balls shot into the air.

Initially disappointed, Damien watched as the balls merged into one another and started singing a short song in unison. "Transient Trapping Air-cage, Activate!" the leader shouted, and all fifteen dwarves clapped their hands in tandem.

Through his X-ray Vision, Damien saw that the clapping triggered the balls to stick together in mid-air. Kaboom! They exploded simultaneously, and a fiery net appeared, enveloping Damien.

"Hurrah! We caught him easily. Despite its size, this giant must have a tiny brain," the dwarf leader exclaimed, cheered on by his companions.
