Chapter: 728
When did she even move?
The woman brought out the sword which was at her waist.
Cha! Cha! Cha! Cha! Cha!
That moment they reached her, the bodies of the three split open like boiled eggs, and then crumbled to the floor.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Without even being able to scream, they ended up suffering miserable death. At the cruel sight which unfolded in front of their eyes, the warriors of Guardian were at a loss of words.
‘It-it makes no sense...’
Even the Master, who was supposed to lead the Guardians, was shocked. He couldn’t get his mind to adjust to what just happened.
“You worthless trash”
The woman took a step again, heading for the Master who had to be taken down.
The base of the Imperial Palace Guardian was hidden deep within the enormous Shrine. There were a total of seven underground halls.
The last hall, the 7th cavity, which was said to be located in the deepest underground path, had only been visited a couple of times. Even by the Masters, who were the heads of the Guardians. It was the place where the treasure of the Empire, since its founding, had been kept and protected.
‘Hot... it is getting so hot’
The face of a middle-aged man, who was accompanying the woman called Blood Master, was drenched in sweat. Even though they were cultivating their bodies, the heat seemed to be too high to consider it normal.
The heat around them didn’t seem like a natural phenomenon, it’s as if the underground hall was rejecting them.
“Are you alright?”
“How is it so hot in here?”
He tried to think of a possible reason for it, but it was completely clueless. The woman, Blood Master, wasn’t sweating at all, as if the heat didn’t have much effect on her. She was showing them how different she was when compared to them.
‘... surely she is one of the leading ones of Blade God Six Martial Clan’
Putting aside the useless worries, the middle-aged man decided to protect himself by handling the heat invading his body. Shortly after, they saw the end of the passage.
“I think we reached the location”
The moment they were about to pass into the passage, a white barrier appeared in front of their eyes. It felt strange to finally see the end of the passage. There didn’t seem to be any other entrance after the white wall which blocked them. As they approached the wall, a text was engraved on the wall which seemed to be the entrance side.
[Anyone who wishes for the treasures here will be trapped in here for eternity, and will die miserably. For those who try to escape by using force, they will also die]
The words were vague and contained ominous warnings. The woman called Blood Master, touched the wall as she read it. Seeing from a distance, it looked like a simple pure white wall, but viewing it up close, she noticed how it was made by stacking the bricks.
‘It couldn’t be, right?’
Just thinking of a possibility, she entered the wall.
“Ha!”
An annoyed voice escaped from her lips. The walls were made of bricks, each brick stacked upon another, but they seemed to be connected. The wall had been designed so thoughtfully and beautifully that the entire structure would collapse if anyone broke even one brick in the wall to pass through.
[Ku...ku...ku... Intruders, no matter how much you try, you will never be able to reach the final floor]
It was a warning from the person who called himself the Great Guardian. The people who guarded the underground palace, guarded every hall, and it seemed like this Great Gaurdian was the last guard to protect the treasure.
