193 Weapon Markings (2/2)

”Who are you?”

”As long as you comprehend any of the weapon markings on the wall, you can leave the cave, Keke,” it stopped in a few steps away from them and said without answering their question.

”First of all, say who are you? and what is this place?”

When he heard the words of the humanoid figure, Paulin paused for a moment and started thinking about something.

However, Ajax, with his previously mustered courage, asked the being in front of him with a frown.

'I will answer, only if you comprehend any one of those, keke,' the figure said while pointing its finger at the drawings on the wall.

”Ajax, let's leave first,”

Surprisingly, Paulin said to Ajax all of a sudden, making him confused, but he didn't ask anything and just followed Paulin towards the exit of the cave.

'You can't leave unless you comprehend it, keke,' the humanoid figure didn't stop Ajax and Paulin from leaving as he laughed with its ghostly laugh.

Just as they were about to leave the cave, a barrier stopped them from leaving the cave.

”What?”

Both Paulin and Ajax were shocked and turned to look at the humanoid figure.

'Now, you believe me right? Keke,' The figure replied with the laugh as usual.

”Senior Brother, what's wrong with you. Let's just comprehend those markings and learn more about the never-returning cave and complete the mission,” Ajax suggested Paulin about comprehending those markings and learn more about the Never-returning cave.

According to him, if he completes the mission, he could learn more about the never-returning cave, which would help him, in completing the system mission.

Another reason, he wanted to try because he assumed Captain Edmond also comprehended some markings, and because of it, he returned from the never-returning cave.

However, why Edmond didn't announce his achievement to the world was still a mystery for them.

So he wanted to finish comprehending a weapon marking and reveal all the mysteries about the never-returning cave.

”Ajax, I think, there is something wrong with that being. It looks like a being from the demon. So it's better to not listen to it,” Paulin replied to Ajax's question and looked at the humanoid figure with a cold expression on his face.

'Yes, I am from a demon but I can't do anything as I don't have a form or can't use any of my techniques,'

the humanoid figure that was covered with black smoke said and stopped for a moment before continuing, ”However, one thing is sure, if you want to leave, then comprehend those markings; otherwise, you can accompany me just like them.”

The humanoid figure pointed its blurry finger at some visible places. Those places were entirely covered with human skeletons.

'Senior Brother, let's just do as it says,' Ajax tried to convince Paulin who was headstrong on not completing the task given by that blurry human figure.

It's not Paulin's fault in not believing the blurry human figure's words as he sensed that thing was from the demon world.

In general, there was a saying in the human world that was 'Never believe a Demon even at the cost of your life.'

So, Paulin, who believed that demons were not to be trusted, didn't want to follow the task given by it.

”You want to make me comprehend those markings? Sure. But, before that let me destroy you,”

All of a sudden, Paulin rushed at the humanoid figure with a sword in his hand and slashed at the figure in front of him.
