Chapter 1176: A Tough Spot

Erin looked on helplessly at the boundless darkness shrouding the place Then, she let out a powerless sigh

“Looks like I can’t escape now”

As she soliloquized, she turned to the surroundings The spiritual flahten the place were co was in complete darkness But Erin clearly knew that this wasn’t ordinary darkness, but the ulti brother instead This was the effects of the Dark Curtain, the ulti the establishment of the Darkness Capital As soon as this enchanted field was activated, endless darkness would envelop the entire palace without any presence of light

No one can enter or leave until the enchanted field is deactivated…</eh It see brother had indeed sunk into insanity as he even activated the ultimate enchanted field Of course, Erin knew that this was meant for him to capture her But how could he act so recklessly just to capture her? If it weren’t for his ht that he was a fake If not, ould he do so so crazy?

But now, it was pointless to think about it any further As abrother beca the ambush of the undead creatures earlier, she sensed a fahout this time: the twisted Chaos that was born in the world named Earth

It was due to this reason that upon realizing that so, Erin’s first reaction was to flee She knew better than anyone the consequences of being contaminated by Chaos That hy she decisively used her blood to activate the eency escape route hidden inside the palace and hid into it And now… she was inside it

h to hide away froht, Erin stretched out her right arht radiance flashed beside her, turning into a dark, murky bracelet that fitted over her wrist As soon as the bracelet appeared, Erin’s aura dwindled instantly Erin had to resort to this since she was a twin of her big brother If she didn’t do it to mask her aura, she would be tracked by hiic Bracelet’ would also suppress her spiritual pohile sealing off her aura, there wouldn’t be any issues with her battle strength… Yes… even though she now possessed the strength of her human form, she was still much more powerful than ordinary humans, so there shouldn’t be any issues

Erin extended her arripped the sword beside her, and trotted forward

Although it was pitch-black ahead, when one was at her level, one could basically see without the presence of light It was apparent that she was currently inside an old escape route The escape routes in the Darkness Capital were different from the ones in other places Back then, in order to prevent being wiped out entirely, the ancients opened up a teleportation channel that could send out one person at a time to one of the escape routes rando troops As all the escape routes were unlinked, there were no concerns about encountering them This was also why Erin felt so assured The escape routes extended in all directions, connecting the entire Darkness Capital It was impossible for Ion to search for her even if he upturned the place Unless he upturned the Darkness Capital, he could forget about finding her

I wonder if the Dark Curtain enchanted field will stopsoh she hadn’t been to any of the escape routes before, the escape routes were engraved with syon race That hy Erin could effortlessly find the exit

…</ely curious The deeper she traveled, the radually showed up in a more ancient and traditional style Besides, she also found out that as she walked further, the path started to slant as though it was leading underground But even so, she didn’t slon her pace Although she loved archeology, it wasn’t the right ti troops sent by her big brother caught up with her, she would be in big trouble The fact that even her big brother failed to resist the erosion of Chaos made her worry if she could withstand it Noas she left this place

Erin darted across the pitch-black tunnel She was so quick that her footsteps couldn’t be heard As the princess of the Country of Darkness, it ithout saying that she kne capable the pursuits of the undead creatures were They never relied upon their eyes to lock onto their prey, but exploited the spiritual auras and sounds instead Even though Erin was in the underground tunnel right now, the Darkness Capital had specialized facilities to round If she weren’t careful enough, she ht be discovered easily

Huh?

While Erin dashed across the tunnel, she suddenly slowed down her pace and cahost She knitted her brows and stared ahead alertly She sensed a presence hiding in the corner ahead

troops have discovered and decided to surround htly But she shook her head in denial If they were the sa brother, she would have been sure of that In the battle earlier, this was the point that startled her Although she was surrounded by so many undead creatures, she couldn’t detect their presence even if she closed her eyes In a battle against such bothersoerous for her On the contrary, the undead creatures ahead seemed to be ordinary undead creatures She also sensed the pure undead aura being released from them just like most undead creatures in the Country of Darkness

uards even in these escape routes?

Erin pondered, but couldn’t reach a conclusion She knew about the existence of the escape routes froon race’s records However, none of the the escape routes If they were truly secret guards, they would be a beneficial force for her But… safety was her top priority Erin gripped the sword and proceeded ahead

One step, two steps, and three steps Erin held her breath and gazed vigilantly at the corner of the tunnel The presence didn’t seem to notice her as it stood on the spot Meanwhile, Erin continued to hold her breath and squinted at it like an elegant cheetah about to pounce on its prey She stretched her body taut and padded forward Then…

———!

In an al and repositioned her sword before dashi+ng forward, stabbing at the corner toward the wall Almost at the saht Before the target responded, the tip of her blade had arrived at its throat

“Don’tat the pair of shocked, wide-open scarlet eyes After confir the unknown presence’s identity, Erin became more nervous instead Because the scarlet eyes only proved one thing The unknown presence was…

“… Angelina?”

Erin widened her eyes, gazing at the terrified young lady who didn’t dare to budge Erin couldn’t beher stay in the Void Territory, it was Angelina who attended and looked after her It was due to this reason that when Erin saw Angelina, the first thought that came into her mind hether she was struck by an illusionary spell

“… Why are you here?”

“Y-Your Highness…”

Upon hearing Erin’s curious question, Angelina put up an aard expression and her eyes wandered away She was co at her reaction, Erin knew that so a fa alone, which helped to relax her tension More i presence of Chaos, which proved that this young lady was safe to be with

(… Alright, stop talking)

As Angelina was about to speak, Erin shook her finger and interrupted, staring at the pair of scarlet eyes She waved her hand gently, put away her sword silently, and gestured to the surroundings Angelina understood what she elina’s voice rang inside Erin’s head

(Your Highness, you’re back)
