A week passed by quickly, and on the way up the mountain the group didn't meet any more strange phenomenon—aside from a few monsters that were easily dealt with. Soon after passing the final monument, they entered a larger cave structure with an open sky above. It didn't take long for them to find the first ores of pink metal.
"Wow!" Hikari was genuinely surprised. On masses of stone the pink metal shone brightly, twinkling like little pink stars, and there were even some pure pink nodes that glowed super bright.
Esalda looked over the elf. "Miss Hikari, do you perchance have something that can mine these rocks?"
"Of course I do," Hikari said and looked over towards her dragon, "Kurayami break one of the pure nodes."
"Yes, Master." The dragon walked over towards one of the biggest shining pink rocks the size of a semi truck. She threw a single punch towards the rock, and in an instant, hundreds of cracks spread across it's surface. The cave rumbled, and the node shattered.
