Angor's first question was: where am I?
It seemed to be an underground tunnel.
He looked at both ends of the tunnel. There was only some light coming from where he was standing. Everything else was dark.
He was curious about where the tunnel led to, but he didn't plan to explore it. At least he could see the exit if he stayed here. When the battle outside was over, he might be able to leave.
But he didn't know if there was any danger in the tunnel.
This was Rasudran, a city of demons. Even if a random demon showed up, Angor wouldn't be able to defeat it, no matter how weak it was.
There was almost no safe place in Rasudran for Angor. This was why he never left Rasudran after spending so much time in there.
Therefore, he chose to stay here and wait.
However, he didn't want to put all his hopes in one basket. After all, if he stayed and waited, he could only rely on his luck. He might even be waiting for death, so he had to be prepared.
He took out two scout puppets from his bracelet and tossed one at each end of the tunnel.
Scout puppets were alchemy creations, so they didn't emit much energy ripples. Using it to scout the surroundings was obviously the best choice at the moment.
As the scout puppet flew away, Angor was able to see what was going on inside the tunnel.
The two scout puppets flew slowly, so Angor didn't notice anything unusual. Both ends of the tunnel were still dark, silent, and unchanging.
After a while, one of the scout puppets finally saw something different.
It was a light spot and a wall at the end.
The puppet saw that the end of the tunnel was a wall. It seemed to be a dead end. However, there was a light spot left on the wall.
It was the embers of a pattern.
In other words, the wall was covered with a strange pattern. The patterns that made up the pattern were glowing. However, more than 90% of the glowing pattern had been extinguished, leaving only a tiny light spot.
Furthermore, the light spot continued to shrink. It was foreseeable that in the near future, the light pattern would completely dim.
The pattern gave Angor a strong sense of deja vu.
Thanks to the puppet's vision, he saw a vortex appearing in the light spot and sucking in his consciousness. Strange patterns of light appeared at the end of his consciousness. The light spots surrounded him and prevented him from escaping.
Angor had a feeling that if he tried to touch the light spots, his consciousness would die right here. The light spots gave him a very dangerous feeling.
The only fortunate thing was that these light patterns were gradually disappearing. It didn't take long for the light patterns to completely disappear.
At the same time, his consciousness was also kicked out of the vortex.
When he came back to his senses, he saw that the light spots on the wall at the end of the tunnel were gone. The area was plunged into darkness again.
"That … feels like …" Angor mumbled. He recalled the time when he saw Olucia's armor with similar patterns. "Runes?"
Angor was enlightened by this thought.
There were inscriptions on the wall. The reason why the light spots on the inscriptions were gradually disappearing was because, as Komodo had said, someone had destroyed the inscription hub underground. That was why the runes were slowly losing their effect.
Angor felt lucky. When he felt himself being sucked into the light vortex, he guessed that the runes on the wall were meant to "trap" someone. If the runes weren't destroyed, his consciousness would have been stuck there forever.
Since there were runes here, Angor suddenly had an idea about this underground tunnel.
To prove his theory, Angor looked at the scout puppet that was flying toward the other end of the tunnel.
According to Angor's estimation, the puppet had already traveled for about two kilometers.
Since they were already so close, he should be able to see something soon.
As expected, the scout puppet finally saw something different.
At the end of the tunnel, there was a door that seemed to be made of metal.
The door was closed and couldn't be opened.
He didn't know what was behind the door, but he did get some evidence to support his theory. As soon as he entered the underground tunnel, he had already determined the coordinates of his current location based on the information he gathered from the outside world.
Next, he constructed a holographic sand table in his mind.
Thanks to the power of the Dream Gate, Angor knew a lot about holographic sand tables, so it wasn't too hard to build one.
Angor made a rough estimate of the important landmarks in the core area of Rasudran into the sand table. Using the sand table, Angor calculated the direction and distance of the tunnel and came up with a conclusion.
The direction of this tunnel was precisely towards the Void Tower at the center of Rasudran.
Previously, he had been silently counting the distance in his heart to estimate the distance between the puppet and the Void Tower. When the scout puppet entered the negative distance of the tower and saw a door, Angor was almost certain that this was the underground tunnel that led to the Void Tower.
However, Angor still couldn't do anything about it.
He didn't know anything about the Void Tower. Or rather, the demons living in Rasudran knew nothing about the Void Tower. Half-blood demons like Canaan didn't even dare to approach the Void Tower. They were afraid of encountering a demon that didn't like them. And then … there was nothing else.
The only thing Canaan knew about the Void Tower was that no one could enter it except for the seven demon banners.
Angor couldn't do anything about it even if he knew where it was.
Besides, according to the information he gathered, Angor believed that Iyadese was inside the Void Tower. Angor had met Iyadese once, but he wasn't sure if Iyadese would let him go if he ran into him here.
Apart from that, there was another unknown figure inside the Void Tower.
Previously, when Yiyadese and Komodo were talking, they had clearly said that the intruder who had destroyed the main inscription hub was also in the Void Tower.
Since Iyadese didn't do anything to the intruder, the intruder must be someone of the same level. Angor didn't want to face someone like that.
He considered for a moment and decided to stay here and wait for the situation outside to clear up.
Angor sighed in relief. "I didn't find much, but at least this tunnel is safe."
But to his surprise, one of the scouting puppets sent him a warning right after he finished speaking.
It was one of the scouting puppets Angor left on the other side of the wall.
Angor glanced at the puppet again. When he saw the current situation clearly, he was surprised to find that cracks had appeared on the wall that had been engraved with inscriptions before the light spots had completely disappeared.
Not only that, but the cracks were also expanding at a rapid pace. Not only did they spread to the wall, but they also reached the ceiling.
As the cracks appeared, a large amount of rubble fell down from the ceiling. With a loud noise, the bottom of the tunnel … caved in.
Moreover, the collapse did not stop. As the cracks on the ceiling spread, the collapse spread to the entire underground tunnel at an extremely fast speed.
It wouldn't take long for the cracks to spread all the way to Angor.
Angor was shocked by the sudden series of collapses. He just said the tunnel was safe, and he did not expect this to happen so quickly.
He couldn't help but look at the floating Frozen Charm. Pina Jonas' dragon scales were fine, and Toby's Curse Disaster did not spread out.
But why did this happen?!
Angor finally understood that bad luck was even worse than curses.
His mind raced. What should he do to deal with this sudden disaster?
If the collapse was as simple as it seemed, it wouldn't cause too much damage to him. In fact, he didn't even need to use any defensive spells to take the damage.
But the scary thing was that once the tunnel collapsed, it meant that the chaotic energy above would immediately pour in.
He even wondered if the runes on the wall could not handle the chaotic energy, which led to the collapse of the tunnel.
The rumbling noises were getting closer and closer.
Seeing that the cracks were about to reach him, Angor made up his mind. He ran deeper into the dark tunnel and took out another scout puppet, which he sent toward the only exit above him.
He planned to probe the situation outside. He didn't know if the battle between Fafnir and Komodo had stopped.
But as soon as the scout puppet left the exit, Angor could no longer sense it.
This wasn't surprising.
When the scout puppet was blocked, Angor felt a slight pain in his spirit sea. Angor quickly ran toward the other end of the tunnel without looking back.
After all, the scout puppet contained a strand of his spirit. If the puppet was destroyed, he would still feel the stinging sensation from his spirit sea even though the exit was blocked.
This meant that the scout puppet was destroyed as soon as it left the tunnel, which also meant that Fafnir and Komodo weren't done yet.
Of course, Angor didn't dare to leave through the exit. He had to run toward the darkness.
