Through Narda's Vision, he could see that the main material of the ancient door was an alloy that had both spatial stability and compatibility with mageweaths.
It was the same alloy used on the door of the ruin he was living in. Since the alloy was mixed with some unknown magical metal, Angor had a good memory about it.
It was a bit arbitrary to conclude the connection between the two based on the similarity of the main material. However, the alloy was so rare that it was used in two similar ruins at the same time. How could Angor not make the connection?
Considering all the traces he saw earlier, Angor was sure that this ruin had something to do with the one he was living in.
"I didn't pay attention to the main material when I came here. But since you're sure they're the same, these two ruins are getting more and more interesting." A dim light flashed in Rhine's eyes. "You can study the main material after you return to the ruins. Now, check the runes on the door. "
Angor nodded. To make sure, he had to open the door and see what was behind it. Without hesitation, he reached out his hand to push the door open.
"I'll do it." A short cane stopped his hand. Rein stepped forward.
Rhine tried to open the door when he came here, but nothing happened. Still, he decided to do it himself, just in case.
The door wasn't locked. With a muffled creak, the door was slowly pushed open from both sides.
At the same time, a faint light shone out from the crack, indicating that there was light behind the door.
Since Rhine was standing right in front of the door, Angor paid close attention to Rhine's expression to see if there were any changes behind the door.
Fortunately, Rhine's expression didn't change at all when the door opened more and more.
When the door was completely open, Angor looked inside.
There was another corridor behind the door, with two candlesticks on both sides. The light from the candles was weak, but it at least dispelled some of the darkness around them and gave them some peace of mind.
The corridor extended for less than ten meters before it turned at a right angle. Therefore, they could only see a short ten meters of scenery. However, there were no demonic creatures within ten meters of him.
"Looks like my luck is not bad." Rein sighed in relief. "It's up to you now. Remember, don't go inside the door. Try to use your spirit feelers to look behind the door."
Although the environment of the ruins had suppressed their mental strength to the extreme, they were still able to do a simple check of their surroundings.
Angor nodded. Stepping through the door meant entering the ruin for real. No one knew what would happen, so it was best not to do so.
He closed his eyes and slowly released his spirit feelers.
Before he could reach into the door with his spirit feelers, he heard some rustling noises coming from behind. Using his spirit feelers, he saw a tall humanoid monster with various colored skin stitched together and a bulging belly walking out of the darkness.
"Stitch up a corpse demon?" Rhine called out the monster's name, but as the monster was recognized, Rhine frowned slightly.
Demonic corpses were demonic creatures that were transformed from corpses tainted with negative energy. Most of them were born by chance. "Stitch up Demonic Corpses" were artificially created by a group of wizards who specialized in unorthodox arts. Through surgical reconstruction of organs and skin stitching, the Demonic Corpses could accumulate more resentment and gain greater strength.
Rhine would not mind if he only saw a normal Demonic Corpses, but a Stitch Up Demonic Corpses like this … Did it mean that there was an artificial intelligent being behind the Stitch Up Demonic Corpses?
"I'll deal with it. You keep watch over Angor." Rhine stood up and walked to the Stitch Up Demonic Corpses with a serious expression.
To determine the strength of a Stitch Up Demonic Corpses, one had to see which organs were stitched together, as well as the skill of the manipulator. The Stitch Up Demonic Corpses in front of them only had the skin of an ordinary monster. It did not have top-tier defense, and it was not supposed to be too strong. However, there were some Stitch Up Demonic Corpses who went to extremes and purposely made their skin look weak, but in fact, their internal organs were extremely strong. Of course, such Stitch Up Demonic Corpses were rare. It was not easy to achieve a balance between external defenses and internal organs.
This Stitch Up Demonic Corpses was not an exception.
The Stitch Up Demonic Corpses had weak external defenses and weak internal organs. Rhine easily took care of it.
However, Rein did not relax after finishing off the Corpse Demon. Instead, he kept looking into the darkness. Unlike Angor, Rein was not able to sense emotions as clearly as Angor, but he could still sense the restlessness hidden deep in the darkness.
On the other hand, Angor reached his spirit feelers inside the door.
As soon as his spirit feelers reached the door, he felt a slight obstruction, as if he had gone through a water membrane and entered an alternate dimension.
At the same time, a more concentrated force was exerted on his spirit feelers, which made it harder for him to move them.
Angor now understood why he did not want to enter the door. The inside of the ruin and the outside world were two different worlds. He suspected that the inside of the ruin already belonged to a demiplane.
This idea made him uneasy. If the ruin really belonged to a demiplane, his spirit feelers would have been discovered already.
Similar to the dream wasteland, a demiplane already had its own laws.
Just like when Angor entered Sleepless City's demiplane, he would be discovered by a nightmare creature who controlled the demiplane's laws.
But since he was already inside, he had no choice but to hurry up and check the runes behind the door as soon as possible.
With that in mind, Angor carefully controlled his spirit feelers to reach the door. Perhaps it was because his spirit feelers had to travel between the demiplane and reality, or because of the suppression from the demiplane, his spirit feelers were moving very slowly.
They could only move several centimeters per second, which meant it would take him at least two minutes to reach the door.
And it would take him even longer if he had to observe the door from behind. This made Angor even more uneasy, and his expression grew more serious.
