Chapter 102 Leather Scroll
Chapter 102 Leather Scroll
Angel, who started climbing up the stairs again, began climbing the boundless stone steps in this darkness.
On the other side, a figure suddenly appeared in the central area of the Sewer Labyrinth-
Sanders had been in the Sewer Labyrinth for two days and has encountered countless demons along the way, many of which he was able to avoid by his sheer strength. Finally, two days later, Sanders reached the central area of the Sewer Labyrinth.
After a few days of twists and turns, Sanders, who was originally wearing a neat gentleman’s outfit, was now completely disheveled, on one of his knees there was even a hole with blood seeping out of it, one can infer that his journey had been filled with untold hardships.
Recalling his crises along the way, Sanders wondered how long his little apprentice would last if he were actually transported directly into the underground Labyrinth. A minute? Or two minutes? From the beginning of his own entry into the underground Labyrinth, almost every single minute had been involved with a demon encounter, although many demons are not strong, but this is purely based on his relative strength used as a comparison. If Angel has his encounters, there would be little hope of survival.
Therefore, for how long Angel can last in the underground Labyrinth, Sanders can only use minutes and seconds to calculate.
He couldn’t help sighing at the belief that his new apprentice had fallen in the Nightmare Plane, Sanders let out a long breath. Although he values Angel’s talent, sometimes luck is a more important factor. It seems that Angel is an unlucky man that happened to have talent.
As for the assumption that Angel is still alive, Sanders didn’t entertain the notion at all. You know, even Sanders has had several life-and-death crises in a row here, such as accidentally stepping into the lightless tunnel when he was fighting against a flying head demon, this terrified him enough to retreat back immediately.
Although he was very quick on the uptake, he was still scratched by the thorns and vines of several demon flowers on his escape, and the reason for his holes with blood seeping out his clothes were the result of those very encounters.
Even he was faced with extreme danger, not to mention the Angel who was still a mortal.
Reaching the central area does not constitute true security, and there is at least one last hurdle to pass in order to finally arrive there safely. Sanders looked at the dense amount of Wizard Ghosts around him and sighed. Could there be at least a thousand Wizard Ghosts?
Although Wizard Ghosts are a low-level demon, but the number of Wizard Ghosts gathered in the area is a wonder to behold.
Sanders secretly speculates: Is it because of an invasion from some kind of higher demon that made the active area of Wizard Ghosts become smaller? Why else would all these Wizard Ghost appear in this one location?
To deal with these low-level demons, Sanders picked up his walking cane and waves his magic, such a torrent of magic annihilated all the demons in the area in front of him.
A minute later, Sanders crushed the last Wizard Ghost and left their remains on the surface while heading towards the center. By the time Sanders came to the peeing child statue, there were no more signs of any demons behind him.
Looking at the familiar statue, it was clear that the child’s face was quite happy, but he read it as a sort of mockery to his situation… … he thought he was going to get that Guidance Method book with Angel’s talent this time. But it looks like he’s going to return empty-handed again.
This is the sixth time in hundreds of years that Sanders has come here, “So you’re taunting my incompetence?” Sanders looked at the smiling statue of the child and whispered.
Sanders sighed in a low voice over his repeated failure, then jumped gently to the edge of the pool. Heading around to the back of the statue, he got ready to head in the direction where the Guidance Method was located, whether he comes back empty-handed or not, he has to at least take a look at the Guidance Method again, maybe there will be a miracle this time, and he will be able to remember it.

Suddenly, Sanders stood shocked.
At the base of the peeing child’s statue, the wooden door was unexpectedly opened?! Sanders looked unbelievably at the open door!
The buildings in the Nightmare Plane are amazing. No matter how many times one destroys them, they will eventually repair themselves. As if nothing had ever happened, before, he really wanted to blow up the statue of the peeing child, but he did not do so, because the statue would soon be restored again. With this characteristic, blowing up the statue was a complete waste of efforts.
The same was true for the door at the base of the statue, even if it had been opened, the back door will eventually close itself automatically.
Unless-
On the hanging prison staircase behind the door, there is a creature! Otherwise, the wooden door cannot stay open this whole time!
“Is there a creature climbing the hanging prison staircase behind this door? Is it possibly a demon that accidentally broke in, or is it…? … a person?” Sanders mind suddenly flashed an image of a golden haired blue-eyed teenager.
The odds of a demon breaking in are not high, so… … could it be him?
“Angel, I truly hope it’s you.” Sanders’s face, which had been somewhat desolate before, suddenly aroused a smile. His tall body drilled into the door at the base of the statue.
… …
Angel, who is still climbing the stairs at this time did not know that his cheap Mentor had also began climbing the stairs.
After climbing for a long time, Angel still was unable to see the end of the stairs… the Holographic Tablet showed that it had been more than three hours. During this period, Angel also saw many more rooms on the stairway, the furnishings in each room were similar to those in the first room but had different things in the nightstand cabinet.
Except for the green book in the first room, the nightstands in all the other rooms were basically filled with groceries, of which most had decayed to ash when immediately touched.
So far, Angel has gained nothing of value.
Not far away, Angel saw another bright door. Angel is used to this, according to the rule, every ten to fifteen minutes, he will be able to see a room.
Angel, as usual, entered the room to begin searching. At first, he was very excited to explore the rooms for treasures, but after turning over dozens of rooms, his mood calmed down a lot. Because the furnishings are all the same, no matter how excited one can be, they will eventually be tired when they don’t receive a harvest many times in a row.
But this room brought him a little surprise.
Because the furnishings of this small room have changed slightly, no longer as simple a layout as the previous rooms, but having an extra bedroom. Although the furniture has not changed much, the space has really increased a lot.
There was nothing in the outer room. So Angel looked directly in the bedroom this time. There was still a nightstand next to the bed, but the cabinet had become two layers this time, and the space that could be used was much larger than before m.
Angel pried open the lock, opened the top layer which contained a few pieces of clothing that absolutely withered when touched. What was in the lower cabinet brightened his eyes because there was a tied Leather Scroll placed in it.
Angel carefully took out the Leather Scroll and felt that it was very warm and solid, with no signs of weathering at all.
Untying the Leather Scroll’s rope and unfurling it on the bed, he slowly began to read it. Soon, a strange image appeared in Angel’s eyes and it looked like a diagram, but the strange thing was that the picture inside was of a demon. The demon seemed to be humanoid with it’s pair of hands and feet in a strange pose.
Angel did not know what meaning this scroll held, but with an attitude of a bystander, he wasn’t satisfied anymore with just recording of it, he also put it in his back pocket, ready to take it away when he leaves.
