This place seems a little strange. "
Barbara followed behind Irina as they walked along the pitch-black tunnel. She felt that the surroundings were so eerie that it gave her goosebumps. She quickly caught up with Irina, and only felt a little more at ease when they were within the range of the Holy Light.
After breakfast this morning, Irina brought her out of Chaos City to this place that was filled with thunder and lightning. They even found a hole to crawl into, and came to this eerie place.
"Don't be scared. There are really ghosts here," Irina consoled.
"Erm …" Barbara felt even more panicked. She quickly quickened her steps, and was almost sticking to Irina's back as she walked.
The pitch-black tunnel seemed to have no end, and that made the tensed Barbara even more nervous. She suddenly regretted agreeing so readily last night. Compared to this place, serving dishes in the restaurant was indeed more reassuring.
"Scared?" Irina stopped in her tracks, and turned back to look at her with a hint of a smile.
Barbara raised her eyebrows. How could she say that she was scared in front of her idol? She widened her eyes, and decisively said, "How could that be? I'm not scared."
"It's good that you're not afraid. There are still many terrifying things ahead." Irina smiled sweetly and continued forward.
What's ahead? What could make Big Sister Irina feel scared? And it has something to do with ancient spell formations? Barbara couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.
"Bam, bam, bam!"
Right at this moment, a sound suddenly came from the pitch-black tunnel in front.
"What's that?!" Barbara jumped forward in shock, and her head bumped into Irina's back, making a loud thud.
"We're here." Irina glanced at Barbara with a smile. The Holy Light shone at the end of the tunnel, and a huge stone door appeared in front of them. That terrifying huge mural was also fully displayed in front of the two of them.
It's so scary! Barbara only raised her head to take a look before her legs went soft. She hugged Irina's thigh and couldn't help but tremble.
What kind of terrifying monster was that on the mural? It was so huge and so terrifying!
With just one look, she felt as if she had seen the devil. The fear that came from the depths of her soul made her throw away all her shame and pride.
"That's just a devil." Irina turned to look at Babla, who was hugging her leg from behind and trembling uncontrollably, and said with a smile.
"Devil?!" Barbara was startled. She only felt that her body was even colder. She didn't feel anything at all.
She left the bustling city and came to this barren land. Then, she went thousands of meters underground and passed through a strange passage to reach this huge stone door. Combined with the ancient formation that Irina showed her yesterday, she couldn't help but have some bad thoughts.
"Could it be that there's a devil sealed behind this door … Are we going to unseal it?" Barbara gulped.
"You guessed half of it. There is indeed a devil sealed here, and it's the one on the mural." Irina nodded with a smile. "However, we're not here to unseal it. Instead, we're here to try to seal it again to prevent it from harming everyone like the one on the mural once it escapes from the seal."
Barbara heaved a sigh of relief. She didn't want to become the devil's vassal and accomplice. However, she quickly recovered and looked up at Irina in shock and fear. "This … the devil on the mural is sealed behind this stone door?"
"Yes." Irina nodded.
"We … are going in?"
"Yes."
"I … Can I refuse? I'm not ready yet … "Barbara shook her head pitifully.
"No, so far, only you can understand those ancient runes." Irina shook her head slightly, and bent down slowly. She looked at Babla with a cold smile, and said, "You're the one who's looking for it now. When it breaks through the seal, it'll come looking for you. Imagine those tentacles full of eyes squeezing through your door and wrapping around your body. Tentacles full of mucus … "
"Wah —"
Barbara was scared to tears on the spot.
"So fragile?" Irina stared blankly at the sobbing Babla. Soon after, she stroked her head with a smile, and said, "Let's go. What we have to do is to prevent this from happening. We have to reseal it before it breaks out of the seal so that we can buy more time to find a way to kill it."
Barbara slowly stopped crying after being comforted by Irina. She let go of Irina's thigh and got up. She pouted and said, "Before this, I thought that demons were the scariest race in the world. But compared to this devil, they look too kind."
"That's because you haven't seen an ugly demon. There are many more ugly ones." Irina smiled. "When there's a chance, I'll take you to the Demon Islands to broaden your horizons."
"No, no, no, I don't want to." Barbara shook her head like a rattle-drum. She looked at Irina with fear in her eyes. This idol was completely different from what she had imagined!
"Let's go. Let's see what's going on inside." Irina took out a foldable chair from somewhere and flung it onto a protruding stone pillar that was dozens of meters high. The heavy wooden door then began to open slowly.
Irina took the lead and walked in.
Barbara hesitated for a moment, but still quickened her footsteps to catch up. She was afraid that she would be left alone outside.
Once they entered, Barbara immediately hid behind Irina and closed her eyes tightly.
Crassus and Julian, who had been here for a day and a night, looked a little tired. Novan was studying the spell formation seriously in a corner. There were only three people in the huge cave.
After hearing the sound of the door opening, everyone greeted Irina, and their gazes landed on Barbara, who was behind Irina.
"Isn't this the waitress from Mr. Mak's house who serves dishes? Why did you bring her here? "Crassus asked, puzzled.
"Didn't you say that you gathered all the spell formation masters in Chaos City? Why are there only the three of you? "Irina asked.
"I showed them the spell formation. The spell formation is too ancient, and no one can understand it. That fellow can subtly influence one's state of mind. Even Crassus almost fell for it, so I didn't let them enter the cave," Novan answered.
"Yes, that fellow is a little strange." Crassus nodded with lingering fear, and asked, "Why did you bring this little girl here?"
"Unfortunately, she might be the only person we can find who can understand this spell formation." Irina took a step to the side, and patted her shoulder with a smile. "Open your eyes. I'm blocking it for you."
