Chapter 295 - The Sealed Prophet
Chapter 295 - The Sealed Prophet
Adrian and the others headed to the sound of they cry for help. They do not know where it would lead them but the voice carried a power that Adrian is familiar with.
"The voice carries the energy of death albeit very faint. If we were still in battle then I would have just dismissed it as whispers of the woods." Adrian stated as he rode Kanlaon to the source of the voice.
"I also felt it but I thought that was just the energy released by the hellhound when it returned to its dimension. The fae might be sensitive to energies but demons are said to be the most sensitive. If it relates to the energies of nature them I might have a slight edge against you." Levin Cloud added to the conversation.
The group soon made it to a stone structure in the middle of the woods. It looked like a medieval prison to hold a captive as it only had walls made of stacked stone and a thick metal gate with a small peeping window just enough for a pair of eyes. Adrian could feel this was the last place where the energy signature dissipated.
Adrian then looked towards the stone structure and could only be certain that whoever is inside would be the source of that energy. He did not know if checking it would be the best thing as some people are inside a prison for a reason. As Adrian was discussing what to do with Levin Cloud, a burst of death energy is released from inside of the stone structure.
The stone structure did not falter but the energy shockwave affected the surroundings around it. The dead trees that were already withered became even more lifeless. Some trees lost color while some just fell due to the tree being unable to hold its own weight.
"You should go inside. You are much sturdier than me anyways as you are basically a death demon so that energy will not kill you. I only got the death energy recently so…fighting!" Levin Cloud cheered on for Adrian.
Adrian could not counter his best friend's argument because it was rational. Levin Cloud has yet to fully master using the new death energy that he has acquired. Adrian had to be the one to check on the person or thing that is emitting the enormous amount of death energy from the stone structure.
Adrian walked up to the stone structure and arrived at the metal door. He first peeked at the small peeping window to see if he could see the person or thing inside of the stone structure. Adrian could see a silhouette of a small person but he could not see clearly even with his enhanced vision.
Adrian activated his evil eye but he just saw the soul of the person inside of the stone structure. It seems that the game is telling him to get inside if you want more information. Adrian could only sigh and hope that this was the person that they are looking for or else he just wasted a huge amount of time.
Adrian held the metal ring that serves as the doorknob of the metal door. He pulled the door but to his surprise it did not budge easily. He felt that it moved a little but it looked like the door was stuck from Levin Cloud's perspective.
Adrian pulled a bit more and it did move but not enough to be called as an open door. Adrian could only speculate that an enchantment is applied to the door so he activated his evil eye to see the details of the door.
Item: Door of Alfeirous
Type: Structure
Tier: Epic
Description: A door made of a special material that is said to originate in the world of the fae. Faekin are said to be weak to iron or any type of metals which is why they tend to stay away from it. The material that makes up this door is Alfeirous which is a type of wood that shares the same physical look as steel.
Alfeirous is said to be a special type of wood that can only be shaped by the fae or their lesser descendants. The door made of this material can only be lifted by the fae easily. Any other race that lifts this material would feel that it weighs 1,000 times heavier.
"I am appalled by this door. It is still amazing that I managed to move it for about a millimeter at least." Adrian stated with a sigh as he suddenly felt sorry for himself.
Adrian called Levin Cloud to come over to his location but the leshy only gave him looks of suspicion. Adrian then sent the details of the door to Levin Cloud so that the latter could understand the former's predicament. It was only after reading the details that Levin Cloud was sent did he move towards Adrian's location.
"I read about this kind of wood in Alfheim but it is said to be strictly guarded. How did the elders of the Church of Life even obtain it to make a door this big?" Levin Cloud stated as he grabbed the ring handle.
"Just pull the door already. It will not budge even with the strength that I exerted." Adrian complained as he moved towards the left side and sported a battle stance. He wanted to be ready in case the person inside suddenly jumps them.
Levin Cloud pulled the ring handle using all his strength and the door slid easily. Adrian prepared to smack anyone that runs outside the door but to his surprise no one did. The door is now fully opened and inside was a kid no older than twelve. No one else was inside except for the little boy.
The little boy was all dirty and signs of malnourishment is apparent. He was skinny and his black hair looked like it was never cut until now as it was long and shaggy. The little boy's clothes looks like rags sown together in a hurry. The little boy's eye were sunken and almost lost all hope of living.
Beside the boy is a large plate of leftover food that looked like something only medieval beggars would eat. Adrian was seething with anger upon this scene as he could not imagine someone so heartless to even think of doing this. Levin Cloud also has a look of huge dismay written all over his face because he knew the Church of Life to be better.
Adrian finally used his evil eye to see the description of the little boy imprisoned here in the structure.
