As the Copy Eye opened once more, the five-pointed star began to rotate again. Time passed minute by minute, second by second. The structure and nature of the magic circle were gradually revealed to Blaine. During this time, he narrowly avoided three waves of attacks falling from above. It seemed that the magic circle had automatically detected someone trying to crack it, causing the frequency of falling weapons to increase noticeably.
Just as Blaine was deeply focused on his analysis, his danger sense suddenly flared up again. This time, however, the threat did not come from above—it came from below.
Blaine was about to check what was happening when a powerful suction force suddenly appeared out of thin air beneath his feet. It felt as if it were trying to rip his soul out of his body. His body immediately lost control and was violently dragged downward.
The suction was so strong that even Blaine was caught off guard. Not only his body, but even his mind was affected—his head grew heavy, as if he had been injected with a tranquilizer, and his consciousness became hazy.
When Blaine came to, the long-lost sensation of solid ground surged up through the soles of his feet. He stomped lightly, confirming it—he was standing on the ground.
Not only that, his spiritual power and Hawkeye ability were no longer being suppressed. They could now be freely released and used to explore his surroundings.
After realizing this, Blaine immediately activated Hawkeye, coordinating it with his mental power to scan the area.
The ground here was uneven, shaped like the bottom of a bowl, forming an elliptical arc across the entire surface. It resembled the surface of the moon, except the craters were much smaller.
Under Hawkeye's enhancement, Blaine quickly adapted to the darkness. After all, night vision was a basic ability from Level 6 Hawkeye.
As Blaine continued scanning, the entire interior beneath the Vibranium meteorite was thoroughly surveyed.
However, there didn't seem to be anything special. Aside from a few corpses that had likely fallen through the magic circle by accident, along with scattered debris, the bottom was practically empty.
The Vibranium meteorite hung directly above the lowest point of the ellipse, as if it were embedded there, forming a natural dome over this underground space.
Perhaps due to Blaine's special physique, combined with the Hunter suit he was wearing, he couldn't detect any radiation or other substances harmful to the human body.
For some reason, staring at the empty ground made Blaine feel like a grave robber. It was as if he had passed through countless traps, finally reached the tomb itself, only to discover it was a fake—no treasure, not even a coffin lid.
"Huh? No—"
"Looks like there's something there,"
"What is that?"
Just as Blaine was still wondering why the mysterious voice hadn't appeared yet, he suddenly caught sight of something out of the corner of his eye.
In an instant, Blaine moved, appearing directly at the lowest point of the ground—the deepest part of the ellipse, directly beneath the Vibranium meteorite.
There was a stacked structure there. Because its color was similar to the Vibranium meteorite, and the surrounding stones were nearly identical, Blaine had initially mistaken it for a pile of rubble from afar.
