Chapter 503: Not Simple (2/2)

”Let's go,” Leon said.

”Err, alright,” Lumi responded, deciding not to overthink. She just needed to follow Leon. If they get lost, she would just blame him.

She was quickly surprised to find the hidden entrance behind the little waterfall.

The entrance seemed to have been recently sealed up with vines. Leon quickly understood it was Faelyn's doing.

After tearing down the seal, a burst of Demonic Energy escaped from the hidden room, gushing straight towards Leon's face.

However, he did not defend himself. Instead, he welcomed the wave of Demonic Energy and absorbed them into his body.

Shortly after the Demonic Energy was refined in his Black Vortex, Leon was slightly disappointed at the absence of law fragments.

'Well, this much is to be expected…' Leon thought.

There was no hidden will inside the Demonic Energy he devoured. Naturally, there would not be any law fragments for him to absorb.

”Are you alright? Didn't you say this Demonic Energy makes people lose their sanity and go berserk?” Lumi asked concernedly.

”Yes, but it won't work on me. I have a way to defend myself against the corruption.” Leon stated before entering the hidden room ahead of Lumi.

”Eh? Why not? Hey, wait for me!” Lumi shortly followed after Leon before asking, ”You didn't explain how you can stop the corruption.”

”Aren't you being very nosy? Fine, I will tell you. It's because… of a secret.”

Lumi had perked her ears to listen to Leon with rapt attention. However, the latter half of his words immediately made her angry.

”You're teasing me!”

”That's right. What are you going to do about it? Bite me?” Shortly after Leon said this, Lumi immediately pounced on him for a bite.

”Oi, oi! You're seriously trying to bite me?” Leon held her face back with his hand while studying the layout of the hidden room.

”That's right! What are you going to do about it? Bite me back?” Lumi said defiantly, mimicking Leon's previous words.

Leon shook his head and said, ”No, but I can throw you back inside my Worldspace, and you will not be able to leave.”

”If you do that, then I will wreck all your precious herbs!” Lumi threatened.

Leon was immediately struck speechless. If she was really committed to doing such a thing, the loss would pain him greatly.

Lumi was not someone to be trifled with.

”Alright, alright. It's my loss, okay? Quit it now. We have something to do. I will tell you about it another time, alright?”

”Eh, you're right. Fine, I will let you off for now.”

Shortly after Lumi calmed down, Leon made his way over to the hidden room's back wall and tore down the vine wall sealing the entrance.

Leon's eyes quickly flickered at the well-built passageway as waves of Demonic Energy burst out from deeper inside the subterranean world.

”This place is not simple…” Leon muttered with a frown.
