Chapter 1051: The cave (2) (2/2)
He flies toward that area and landed.
The moment he set down his feet on that area, he could feel the energy on the ground. The ripples that occurs the moment his feet landed on the ground seems to affect waves of waves of residual energy that was left behind
It is without a doubt a site where it was closest to the source of the surge of energy. Of course, this is just simply his deduction and not something that he could verify completely.
But he didn't think that his thoughts are wrong
'This is probably the area where Loki activated his teleportation channel. Considering he had helpers, probably one of the Three Demoness.' He talks to himself.
Sasha had condensed the report but he could read between the lines. If there is a teleportation channel the moment the sealing dome was neutralized, that means there must be someone that is helping Loki.
Loki has many secret forces.
But the most public of his secret forces is the Three Demoness. Shinji as the Vice leader of the Shadow Guards also was privy to the knowledge of the Witness Protection program of Sasha which shelters The Broker.
So, he knew that it could not be Riana. She would not let something happens to her lover. Then there is only Trisha and Greisha left.
Greisha is quite talented in battle. But she is too young and Loki rarely uses her. As such, Shinji conclude that it is Trisha.
Still knowing who did it, did not benefit the Shadow Guards at all. He only sighed.
He is about to leave and report this matter when something caught his eyes.
'What is that?' he asks himself as he walk forward. He saw something. Not far away from him, there is a large boulder.
But around that large boulder, even though he could not see something out of the ordinary with his eyes, he could sense that the area round the boulder seems to be distorted
And it is not distorted in the usual way where everything seems to be cracking space, but instead, it was like the boulder and the area around the boulder in a constant flux of existing and not existing.
Time and Space around it seems normal in first glance but as Shinji observe sit more, he notices that there is time dilation around the boulder.
It is so minuscule time dilation that it is hard to sense it if not for him taking his time to observe the area
He has to check it out.
Pushing the thick bush in front of him, he finally saw some crevice in the middle of that large stony boulder.
It is easy to miss. Shinji walk even closer to that crevice and then his eyebrows raised.
'This is an entrance to a cave' he thought to himself as he slid inside the crevice and went inside. The moment he went inside, his mouth is open and his eyes widened.
All around him is runes, magic circles and all kinds of symbols that he did not even recognize. There is hundreds of them on the walls, on top of the ceiling and under his feet
A lot of them are worn down but there are still some that is still in good condition.
'Whoa' he said. And there is a smile on his face.
Then he brought something resembling a warlike talkie out from his bag of holding and then he adjusts something on the right side of that device before finding the right frequency.
Then he said to the device
'Call the Research Department. Send them to my location'
Then he waited for an answer as his eyes tries to see where does this formation ends.
As far as his eyes could see, the entire interior of the cave seems to be filled with magic circles, runic characters, symbols, hieroglyphs and other methods of writing like cuneiform and there is even dots and dashes that must denotes something.
Shinji is not some formation master but he is sure that the scene that he saw now would be like a pirate found a cave full of gold for formation masters.
Then a voice come out from the device.
'The Research Department is now researching the size and determining the old location of cities and villages in Pandemonium and also measuring the energy level all over Pandemonium right now. As such manpower is quite limited, Vice Leader. How many you want us to send?'
The receiver is reminding him, if the matter is not that important then it is enough to send only a few.
A few means only two or three people.
Shinji is silent for a while and he looks again at the cave and then he said back to the voice
'Send them all'
