Chapter 1208 - Lost Young lady (2/2)

Looking at this scene, the surprised duo exchanged looks with each other. Angelina raised the sword and swung it left and right. Indeed, along with her movement, the invisible sword emanated a faint, green radiance. When Angelina pointed the sword at the rightmost tunnel, its radiance glowed brighter. The moment she moved the blade to the left, the radiance dimmed. Erin and Angelina looked at each other and spotted joy in their eyes. Even though they didn’t know what this meant, there was at least some sort of guidance now. They stood up instantly and sauntered into the rightmost tunnel.

This time, the sword that played dead (said Angelina) finally seemed to be willing to offer a helping hand. Whenever the duo approached a fork, the sword shone at the seemingly correct path. Under the guidance of the sword, Erin and Angelina didn’t face any dead-ends and were advancing smoothly. This should have been great news for them, but…

“Your Highness Erin, why do I feel like we’re heading down…”

“Yeah…”

Gazing at the pitch-dark flight of steps, Erin felt so helpless that she couldn’t even sigh anymore. Even though it was true that they didn’t face any dead-ends following the guidance of the sword, their expectations seemed to be entirely different the deeper they headed down the tunnels. But now, their only choice left was to embrace themselves.

I wonder how the situation above is and what Big Brother is up to.

At this thought, Erin couldn’t help but knit her brows. Deep down in her heart, she had a premonition. And as time passed, the premonition vanished completely. However, Erin didn’t feel entirely relaxed. She knew that a premonition remained one because it didn’t turn into reality. Now that her premonition was gone, it meant that the premonition had turned into an unchangeable truth, so it was useless to worry about it anymore.

Big Brother… Do we really have to be enemies?

At this thought, Erin shook her head and descended the stairs with Angelina.

The pitch-black tunnel was no obstruction to them at all. In just a few moments, they arrived at the second floor, which was more spacious and deserted. But the moment they stepped on the ground, the sword in Angelina’s hand erupted a glaring green radiance!

“———!”

“What’s wrong with you!”

In a dazzling flash, the sword hacked off Angelina’s arm in a single swing. Angelina was already used to this and didn’t cry in agony. She simply picked up the fallen arm and glared fiercely at the sword. However, the shapeless sword apparently had no intention of answering her. Instead, it metamorphosed into a ray of light and shot straight into the deep tunnel. Looking at this scene, Erin and Angelina exchanged looks with each other and made the same decision.

“Chase it!”

The sword moved really quickly, but Erin and Angelina weren’t slow either. They followed the sword closely, flitting across the tunnel. Shortly after, they realized that as they proceeded, the narrow tunnel gradually became wider and eventually turned into a huge underground cave.

Why is there an underground cave under the Darkness Capital? Why am I not aware of it?

With a look of doubt, Erin sprinted ahead. At that moment, the sword came to a halt all of a sudden, before erupting a dazzling brilliance that illuminated the darkness.

“Argh…!”

Even Erin and Angelina couldn’t help but close their eyes to the glare. After a few moments, they opened their eyes and were rooted in their place upon witnessing what was before them.

There was an enormous black dragon, twice the size of Erin and Ion in their dragon forms. It was riddled with scars from head to foot, with countless steel chains extending from all directions puncturing its huge body, binding it in place. Looking at this appalling view, Erin and Angelina were stunned. The former revealed a look of disbelief and murmured.

“… Mother?”
