Chapter 17.2 - The Secret Sealed Below Needham Plain Part 2 (2/2)
After this great calamity, Needham Plain was discarded, becoming a paradise for specters and other undead creatures. As for those demon imprisoning seals around the hidden door, more than 150 years ago, Light Church’s Pope had secretly snuck here with many of the church’s elites to seal this place. This matter was deemed a secret and not recorded in the annals of Light Church.
Those three side by side entrance doors led to underground summoning laboratories of Princess Sigrid. In anticipation for this kind of situation, these three stone doors were especially built to seal off this place. Once an accident occured, the stone doors would completely block all movement to and from them. From the traces, Princess Sigrid seemed to have immediately closed the stone doors, but even this was unable to prevent the undead calamity. She had summoned such terrifying existences that even though she had successfully trapped them behind the stone doors, their energy had still succeeded in seeping out, causing the entire Needham Plain to suffer the crisis of an undead calamity.
After Clyde walked over, he could clearly sense something behind these three doors. Immediately upon entering the passage, Clyde could feel a penetrating stare, but the other side was not too impudent. Clyde guessed that the other side must have perceived that his strength was above his or her and didn’t dare provoke him. Clyde hesitated for a bit because he didn’t know which door he should open. The owner of that voice had suddenly become mute after he had walked in, so there were no further reminders.
“This is truly troublesome. I don’t care what the background of yours is. If you can save a person, knock your door.”
Just after Clyde spoke, a knock came from all three stone doors. Clyde carefully listened and walked to the middle door without any hesitation. He then smashed the stone door and pulled out the phantom inside. Afterward, he ignored the other two stone doors and quickly left the hidden door area, locking up the hidden door and properly arranging the paper seals again.
After realizing Clyde wouldn’t help them, the existences behind the other two doors felt flustered and exasperated. Ramming against their doors and causing loud sounds, the two doors resounded with strange roars. However, Clyde had already slipped away with two girls. He carried Princess Natalie with one hand and pulled the girl he had saved from the middle door with his other.
The beauty he had saved wore a grey cloak. Her appearance couldn’t be seen, but her little hand resembled the hand of a beauty. Her attractiveness index would not be too low. After grabbing her hand, Clyde could clearly feel the other party’s terrifying latent magic power. Although it was no match for him, it was quite a few grades stronger than Demon King Garfield whom he had accidentally killed when he had first come to this world.
“You, how did you recognize me?”
“It’s nothing. The other two knocks on the door simply didn’t resemble that of the Human Race. We cannot stay here for long. Let’s change to a safe location first before talking more.”
“Aren’t you worried about who I am?”
“Who you are is not important. I don’t care about any of that so long as you can save Princess Natalie. That’s enough.”
The rescued beauty was the existence who had used her ethereal voice to call Clyde. Like her, the two existences behind the other two stone doors were also from the dark camp, but they were not in humanoid form. Thus, Clyde didn’t help them. Instead, he had helped this girl who seemed to have a proper human appearance.
