Chapter 128 - The Guardian of the 2nd Floor (2/2)

” Don't worry, the area were are currently in is safe. There are no magical beasts hiding underneath the sand.” Shad quickly said to the nervous imperial soldiers. With the right Eye of the Red Lightning Dragon Emperor that could even see through almost everything, it was impossible for the sand beasts to ambush him by hiding underneath the sand.

After listening to Shad, the nervous soldiers regained their bearing. For them, Shad was like a god, a savior. They have already witnessed his terrifying power when they were fighting against the pack of the Grey Horned Wolves. At this moment, they were a hundred percent sure that the 4th imperial prince didn't have his power suppressed by the Tower.

The members of the Lightning Corps were thrilled after knowing that. However, Gomez had some mix feelings. He was both happy and afraid at the same time, He was happy because the more powerful the 4th imperial prince was, the greater the chance they have to make it to the 9th floor with fewer casualties and a fighting chance against the elite members of the Eye as well. On the other hand, he was a little afraid that the 4th imperial prince who take that opportunity to get rid of him while he was at his weakest.

Just like that, under the lead of Little Blue, they had ventured into the deeper part of the second floor where the entrance of the third floor was located in just half a day.

They have encountered many sand beasts on the way, however, with Shad's eye power, they were able to easily dispose of them before they could even ambush them. The reason that the sand beasts were considered very dangerous was that they were all hiding underground, beneath the sand where they waited to ambush their prey. Unfortunately for them, Shad was able to discover them hundreds of meters away with his eye power before they could even make a move.

As they were moving forward and getting closer to the entrance within the second floor that leads to the third floor, some of the soldiers started to panic because on their way, there was layer upon layer of skeletons. Some of the skeletons were that of humans while the others belong to all kind of magical beasts. As they were getting closer and closer, the amounts of skeletons and dried bones increased. the deeper part of the second floor looked like a huge graveyard or the site of an ancient battlefield.

It was impossible for them to estimate how long ago those people or beasts had died. However, one thing was certain, all those beasts and people were killed by the same entity and that entity was surely the guardian of the second floor.

Stepping upon the layer of dried bones while listening to their cracking sound as they were breaking into multiple pieces, Shad was bravely moving forward without a hint of fear in his eyes. It was as though the cracking sound of the dried bones were nothing but music to his ears. However, some of his subordinates were shaking in fear while moving forward through the mountain of bones.

As they arrived at the deepest part of the region where the huge door that leads to the third floor was located, everyone except the 4th imperial prince looked ghastly pale. In front of them was what seemed to be a small mountain. However it wasn't a real mountain, it was a huge python coiling around itself forming what seemed to be a small mountain. The most terrifying thing was, the python had two huge heads. All four of his eyes were closed as though it was taking a nap.

Seeing the two-headed python, some of the imperial soldiers couldn't help but took a few steps backward out of fear. As though it could smell the stench of fear in the air, the huge two-headed Python slowly opened all four of his eyes and looked the humans in front of him. The member of the Lightning Corps as well the people that came with Gomez were completely overwhelmed with a just a single from the two-headed python. Just looking at its four eyes sent shivers all over them. With just a single glance from the two-headed python, their bodies froze like ice.

” Damn it, I am the proud member of the legendary Lightning Devouring Wolf Clan and this little snake dare too look down on me. Furthermore, my blood is sending an extremely loud warning signal, warning me to be careful of this damn snake. Even though it wasn't as powerful as when I met that damn Kid, it still pisses me off.”

” You guys, stand back. Let me take care of that damn bastard.” Shouted Little Blue with an angry voice as she stepped forward.
