Chapter 293 - A Qualified Trap Clearer (2/2)

After around 90 feet, the corridor opened up into a large space. A huge underground chamber appeared in front of them. This chamber was more than 240 feet long and more than 15 feet tall. There were rows of bookshelves along its walls filled with a large collection of books. Link was immediately excited by the sight of this many magic books.

Just how many lost knowledge did this tomb hold? The number of magic books here simply housed priceless knowledge!

However, it was not so simple.

In front of the bookshelves were two rows of stone chairs.

A mummified corpse clad in shiny High Elf ancient armor sat on each of those chairs. At the end of the two rows of chairs was a magnificent jewel throne. The number of jewels engraved on that throne seat was simply blinding.

There was also a mummified High Elf corpse clad in a gorgeous robe and a royal cape sitting on the chair. There was even a jewel crown on his head as he held an elegant wand in his hand.

These corpses sat motionless on their seats, seemingly indistinguishable from real corpses.

At the entrance of this chamber, a humongous body of a Red Dragon more than 30 feet long and 12 feet tall lay motionless on the ground. From his faint breath and hasty breathing, he should be on the verge of death.

There were countless holes on his body, one of which had a fine iron thorn still stuck on it. This should be from the trap in the corridor of death. Near his neck, there was also a huge wound. This should be the one from the revolving ax trap.

Apart from those wounds, there were no other injuries on this dragon’s body.

Standing at the entrance and looking at this dragon, Morrigan laid out his hands helplessly before turning to Felina. He said, “Dear Red Dragon Warrior, with all due respect, I can confirm that this giant dragon did not encounter any formidable opponents. He was done in by his own idiocy.”

Felina did not like the sound of those words. However, the truth was right in front of her. She could not refute Morrigan’s claim.

Link had to consider the reputation of the dragon race. He then said, “This is understandable. Todelron is a Warrior and does not excel in dismantling traps. Now, we have to think about ways to deal with these corpses. I have a feeling if we touch anything in this chamber, they will immediately awaken.”

“Why must we touch those things? Since Todelron has already failed in his mission, we should leave.” Felina truly had something against entering graves.

However, how could Morrigan give up when he was already here? His eyes were already glued to the jeweled throne seat.

After some thought, an idea struck him. He thought of a valid excuse and said, “I’m afraid we have to exit using a secret door.”

Morrigan could not help but feel extremely proud of his intellect. While they were busy with finding the secret door, he would then sneak a few items into his dimensional bracelet. After all, who would notice amongst the chaos?

On the other hand, Link’s gaze was glued to those bookshelves. He was planning to think of an excuse as well. However, Morrigan beat him to it. He then nodded in agreement and said, “Indeed, getting out is an issue as well. I’m afraid we must disturb these ancestors.”

These excuses were simply perfect. Felina had no choice but to agree. She said, “Then, let’s find our way.”

Morrigan’s mind suddenly became extremely active. He whispered, “We first have to find a way to deal with these corpses. I have an idea. What do you guys think?”

“Speak,” Link said. Link had respect for this revered adventurer. He had no qualms about taking a few things from graves. After all, it would be a waste to leave so much wealth and wisdom untouched.

Morrigan then started analyzing in detail, “Look, the strongest corpse here should be the one on the throne seat. He should be the owner of the tomb, Derrac. History has told us that Derrac guards his wealth jealously. However, he was also an extremely powerful Magician. I predict that he was of Level-8 strength before he died. If he awakens, it will be troublesome. However, they are all now in slumber mode, giving us a chance to strike first. We merely have to get rid of Derrac first before dealing with his underlings. That will be a lot easier.”

Link then nodded his head in agreement. The plan sounded good.

Although Felina was unwilling to destroy the tomb, she knew that it was the only way and agreed disdainfully.

Link then told Nana, “Take his head; destroy his wand.”

“I understand!” Nana nodded. Boom! Nana disappeared with the sound of an explosion, and the next moment, something strange happened.

A silver defensive light dome appeared around six feet in front of Derrac. The barrier was actually strong enough to block Nana’s progress!

Clang! Clang! Nana’s dagger struck the light dome consecutively, emitting a crisp sound. The light dome brilliance then slowly dimmed. However, Nana was not able to get through it in one hit.

Following which, the eyes of all the corpses lit up, revealing a chilling blue glow. Derrac, who was sitting on the throne seat, stood up.

A raspy voice echoed through the chamber, “Who dares to break into my palace?”

A majestic magic fluctuation then appeared around Derrac’s body. The three of them standing at the entrance stared at the scene with their mouths agape.

Morrigan fell speechless as he swallowed his saliva in apprehension.

Felina whispered, “This is not right. This power is at least Level-9 right?”

“Nana, come back!” Link immediately ordered.

Swoosh! Nana instantly returned to Link’s side.

At that moment, Derrac’s voice echoed through the chamber again, “Hm, a red dragon? Are you here to seek death?”

Felina was startled. She thought Derrac was referring to her and instinctively went into her defensive stance.

Link was surprised as well. This was because Derrac was a lot stronger than the Level-8 strength he was at in the game.

However, upon hearing Derrac’s words, he reacted immediately. He pulled Felina along as he retreated, whispering, “Derrac has just awakened and is not very sensitive to his surroundings. He should not have seen us. Let’s retreat for now.”

As Link was saying those words, he saw a huge lightning ball appear at the tip of Derrac’s wand. Lightning bolts then emerged from this lightning ball and struck Todelron’s body mercilessly. One could even smell the aroma of roasted dragon meat after a few attacks.

Todelron naturally would not survive these attacks.

The spells were terrifyingly strong. They were at least Level-8 in strength. Morrigan and Felina had a horrified expression. Link was the only one who still managed to maintain his composure. He stared at the strong lightning bolts and immediately started thinking.

“He has not seen us yet. We will retreat and think of a way!”
