Chapter 1763 “…Thank god you brought along this young woman, Gerald…! Otherwise, we would’ve all met our maker today…!” muttered the still fearful Lech, as he expressed his gratitude toward both Juno and Gerald.
Had Juno not brought along that can of insecticide, they’d surely have died today…
Following that, Gerald then broke the can open before rubbing some of the liquid inside on his clothes.
“Rub some of it on your bodies! With any luck, it’ll continue warding off the spiders!” instructed Gerald.
Hearing that, everyone then quickly began doing just that, making sure to rub as much of the insecticide as possible onto their clothes and shoes. Hopefully, this would keep the spiders away…
Now that the crisis was over, Old Flint then said, “…I’m guessing the vampires raised those spiders. If my analysis is correct, any blood that the spiders suck can later be retrieved by the vampires for their own consumption…”
“How abominable! To think that they would actually raise such horrible creatures!” scowled Gerald.
Then again, it made sense. Only the vampires could think of such a vile tactic…
Regardless, Gerald and the others then resumed inspecting the area soon after…
Sometime later, one of Lech’s men came running toward them—from the deeper parts of the underground palace—as he shouted, “Captain! We’ve managed to locate a stone door deeper in!”
Hearing that, both parties immediately rushed toward that place, and soon enough, they were greeted by the sight of a massive stone door…
“Push the door open!” yelled Lech.
“Copy that!” replied his remaining men as they instantly began pushing the door in hopes of opening it…
To their dismay, no matter how much they pushed, the stone door never moved an inch!
Seeing that, Gerald then said, “Since it can’t be opened by force, I’m sure there’s a mechanism somewhere that’ll get it to open!”
Following that, Gerald quickly began investigating the area in search of mechanisms that would trigger the door to open…
Just as Gerald had anticipated, it wasn’t long after before he found a spot on the walls that could be pushed. Pushing it down hard, the stone began moving backward… and soon enough, a loud sound could be heard!
With the mechanism now triggered, the stone door began quivering, and soon enough, it began rising!
“Marvellous! You truly are amazing, Mr. Crawford!” praised Lech.
Either way, by the time the stone door was fully opened, everyone couldn’t help but momentarily gape in awe. Past the door, was a large, glazed house, alongside two stone bridges. Adding that to the fact that the floor was paved with bluestone, the sight was nothing short of extraordinary…
Once they snapped out of it, everyone rushed to one of the stone bridges. However, upon peering below, what awaited them wasn’t a river nor a pool… Instead, it appeared to be a bottomless abyss that struck fear into anyone who saw it…
Regardless, the group then moved past the bridge and soon found themselves standing right before the glaze house.
“…The house appears ancient… If my guess is correct, then this should be the center most part of the vampires’ territory!” declared Old Flint as he sighed rather emotionally.
To think that all of them had finally reached the deepest part of the vampires’ territory… The entire journey truly had been difficult, and many large sacrifices had undeniably been made to get this far…
